[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#853035: node-liftoff: Non-determistically FTBFS due to unreliable timing in tests

[Chris Lamb]

[Resending including 853035 at bugs.debian.org in CC this time..]

Hi Graham,

Thanks for the followup.

Well, just to be 100% clear, I don't propose increasing the timeout at
all: I'm pretty hardcode on tests being determinstic so merely increasing
the wait time feels especially gross to me. :)

So, indeed, another solution is really required but alas I'm really not
familiar with this particular test nor this package in general so I would
not be able to comment with any authority.

Have you tried speaking to upstream?


Best wishes,
