pytorch - 💡(How to fix) Fix DISABLED test_barrier_timeout_arg (__main__.TestDistBackendWithSpawn) [1 comments, 1 participants]

TL;DR

The test test_barrier_timeout_arg in distributed/test_distributed_spawn.py is failing intermittently in CI and needs to be debugged by analyzing the workflow logs.

Guidance

• To debug the issue, follow the provided debugging instructions: click on the workflow logs, expand the Test step, and grep for test_barrier_timeout_arg to find relevant log snippets.
• Study the logs from multiple instances of the test run to identify patterns or common errors that may be causing the flakiness.
• Review the test code in distributed/test_distributed_spawn.py to understand its functionality and potential failure points.
• Check the list of disabled tests at https://hud.pytorch.org/disabled to see if there are any related issues or tests that may be contributing to the problem.

Notes

The issue is intermittent, with 7 successes and 0 failures in the past 6 hours, which may indicate a timing-related or environmental issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: temporarily re-enable the test and run it locally or in a controlled environment to gather more detailed logs and debug information, as the CI logs may not provide enough context to identify the root cause.
