Description Dmitry Galkin univentionstaff 2015-01-27 12:54:38 CET
For all details see Bug #37299

The 10_ldap/26reconnect_univention_ldapsearch test sometimes fails in Amazon EC2 (http://jenkins.knut.univention.de:8080/job/UCS-4.0/job/UCS-4.0-0/job/Autotest%20MultiEnv/125/SambaVersion=s3,Systemrolle=master/testReport/junit/10_ldap/26reconnect_univention_ldapsearch/test/).

Reason is that 'univention-ldapsearch' often stops the retries after only 1 attempt, i.e. not reaching the 'ldap/client/retry/count' (UCR).

Proposed patch univention-ldapsearch

Simply sleep before grepp'ing, not after.

That's wrong, as $ret now contains the exit status of the most-successfully run "sleep" instead of the "ldap-search".

But moving the "sleep" shows the underlying problem: If the "tee" is too slow, the expected error message is not yet written into the file, so the following "grep" does not see the error message and aborts the loop.

FYI: Re-try mechanism was implemented with original Bug 34293: r48490 r48521
