This repository was archived by the owner on Sep 11, 2020. It is now read-only.
Sometimes, the `TestClone` and `TestPush` tests of `transport/file` fail
in travis.
This is due to a race condition caused by an incorrect usage of
`Cmd.Wait()` while reading from the output and error pipes of the
command.
This patch fixes the problem by using `Cmd.CombinedOutput()` instead of
calling `Cmd.Start()` and `Cmd.Wait()` while reading from the output and
error pipes.
Details:
From the `exec` package documentation:
```
Wait will close the pipe after seeing the command exit, so most callers
need not close the pipe themselves; however, an implication is that it
is incorrect to call Wait before all reads from the pipe have completed.
For the same reason, it is incorrect to call Run when using StdoutPipe.
```
In our tests, the old `execAndGetOutput` function was creating two
gorutines to read from the stderr and stdout pipes of the command and
then call `Wait` on the command.
This caused a race condition: when the `Wait` call finished before the
gorutines have read from the pipes, they returned caused an error on
`outErr`.
The problem only happens sometimes on travis.
To reproduce the problem locally, just add a call to
time.Sleep(time.Second) to the gorutine before its `ioutil.ReadAll` call
to delay them, then `Wait` will always finish before them, closing the
pipes, and the gorutines will fail. The returned error detected by the
test will be:
```
