[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#895317: node-commander: FTBFS unreliable timing

[Graham Inggs]

Source: node-commander
Version: 2.12.2-1
Severity: serious

Hi Maintainer

Since the upload of nodejs 8.9.3, node-commander has FTBFS [1] with
errors similar to the
following:

/usr/lib/nodejs/should/lib/assertion.js:72
    throw new AssertionError(params);
    ^
AssertionError: expected '' to be 'SIGHUP\n'
    at Assertion.fail (/usr/lib/nodejs/should/lib/assertion.js:92:17)
    at Assertion.value (/usr/lib/nodejs/should/lib/assertion.js:164:19)
    at Timeout._onTimeout
(/build/1st/node-commander-2.12.2/test/test.command.executableSubcommand.signals.hup.js:19:19)
    at ontimeout (timers.js:475:11)
    at tryOnTimeout (timers.js:310:5)
    at Timer.listOnTimeout (timers.js:270:5)
make[1]: *** [debian/rules:15: override_dh_auto_test] Error 1

I believe this is similar to the unreliable timing in tests being
discussed in #853035.

Regards
Graham
