I have access to a Mac OS X M1 box (gcc104 at [1]) where t7527 reliably
fails due to what seems to be a race us doing something, and assuming
that fsmonitor picked up on it.
This makes the tests pass:

then
The failure is when we grep out the events we expect, which aren't
there, but if you manually inspect them they're there. I.e. they're just
not "in" yet.
I thought this might be a lack of flushing or syncing in our own trace
code, but adding an fsync() to trace_write() didn't do the trick.

I don't see why it would have to do with stopping the daemon. If anything that should reduce the odds that you're running into a race. I.e. on OSX in general this will work: echo foo >f && grep foo f Or, the equivalent with an "echo" that's not a shell built-in. I.e. we had a process start, print to a file, and then we grep data out of it agin. The reason I'm saying it should reduce them is if the "echo" were some long-running daemon process that was still running the "grep" might fail because the "foo" was still in some buffer and hadn't been written or fsync'd to disk. Anyway, all of that seems inapplicable to these failures, as we're not stopping the daemon yet by the time we run into the synchronization problem. We just *started* it, then renamed some files, but when we ask for those events we don't get them back. Maybe there's some innocuous reason for that, but I have the sinking feeling that it might be some race between creating the files, the kernel getting those events, acting on them, but not having sent notice of those events to the daemon that's listening. *That* would be much scarier, and would mean that this fsmonitor implementation would be racy outside of our tests, wouldn't it? ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

I managed to reliably reproduce this on my new M1 mac (and while working on replacing the call to the deprecated FSEvents routine mentioned in another thread). I should have a fix for this/them shortly. Thanks for your patience. Jeff ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
