Hi Jerin,

There is a process for this defined.  A maintainer should open a BUG for the CI lab, requesting specific tests or test cases be disabled, as it's a known failure being worked on. Once the test is disabled, the bug will be updated / assigned back to the maintainer, and should not be closed until the issue is fixed and the test can be re-enabled.  This is so we don't lose track of anything.

Cheers,
Lincoln

Hi All,

How do you want us to handle this in the lab?  Can we pull / disable this unit test from the arm system, ignore it from now (if it's going to be fixed), disable the unit tests on arm for now (while it's being fixed)?


Maybe it is better to have a "known issue" based skip mechanism to address this in CI.

 

Cheers,
LIncoln

No. There are a lot of sync barriers are missing in the distributor library.
Since evendev is kind of replacing this library, we made the fix as
low priority.
