=========================== short test summary info ============================

To Reproduce

https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-community/blob/8ef0305f6c9b28df533696a7e54d08269dc75aa8/trunk/PKGBUILD#L33-L35

python -m venv --system-site-packages test-env
test-env/bin/python -m installer dist/*.whl
PATH="$PWD/test-env/bin:$PATH" test-env/bin/python -m pytest

The package build process also hangs after the above output.

Expected behavior

Test passes and we all live happily ever after.

Environment

• Black's version: 22.8.0
• OS and Python version: Arch Linux/Python 3.10.6

Additional context

Can provide dependency versions if that would help.

Hmm, the OSError sounds like a host issue where some application or code is opening many files and isn't closing them. (Are there many other processes on the system?) I don't believe Black leaks file descriptors anywhere? Blackd could be leaking some, but I have no idea. ProcessPoolExecutor() is a pretty typical use so there shouldn't be anything wrong with that.

It's a build server used for Arch Linux packages. The test passes and the build completes when done locally 👍.

[ichard26]

Ah thanks for checking!

Is something on Black's end we can do to help with this, or can we close this issue as "check the downstream build server for FD overusage"?

[foutrelis]

The discrepancy between local and remote could be due to the higher thread count on the build box (64 threads). The default open file limit is 1024 and running the test suite with so many threads somehow reaches it. If a fix cannot be implemented upstream, a downstream workaround would be to ulimit -n 2048 before running the tests.

[ichard26]

Alright thanks for the insights, I can try investigating later. It is surprising how a single pytest run would run into an open file limit of 1024.

It is surprising how a single pytest run would run into an open file limit of 1024.

Indeed, which makes it more likely that open files from previous tests are involved. If I run only the 16 tests from tests/test_blackd.py, they all pass. The failure occurs when they run after the 110 tests from tests/test_black.py.

Verify that:
The python version in the virtual environment matches expectations (3.10.6 as noted).
There are no conflicts between system Python packages and virtual environment packages due to --system-site-packages.
