Description Kent Fredric (IRC: kent\n) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2019-01-11 09:41:28 UTC
Seems like t/80proxy.t and some other test share resources in some way, leading to t/80proxy.t failing:

===( 1790;4 92/130 91/137 87/? 62/? 69/99 73/242 27... )===DBI connect('hostname=127.0.0.1;port=35677;debug=0;dsn=DBI:ExampleP:','',...) failed: Cannot log in to DBI::ProxyServer: Cannot connect: Connection refused at /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.26.2/RPC/PlClient.pm line 70. at /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.26.2/Net/Daemon/Log.pm line 136. at t/80proxy.t line 121. # failed test 1 at line 121 # failed test 2 at line 126 Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at t/80proxy.t line 129. # failed test 3 at line 130 Can't call method "begin_work" on unblessed reference at t/80proxy.t line 150. t/80proxy.t ..................... Dubious, test returned 255 (wstat 65280, 0xff00) Failed 130/136 subtests 


Forcing MAKEOPTS to <70 significantly reduces the incidence of failure, but can't guarantee avoidance of failure due to the inherent nondeterministic nature of parallel testing.

Instead of disabling tests entirely, or disabling parallel testing entirely ( this greatly makes the test suite slower ), I'm probably going to just hack the -j value passed to test harness in the ebuild, until upstream fixes the underlying bug.
