Description

every couple of travis builds there seems to be a random failure in one of the http-evader tests that goes away by simply restarting the job.

Philippe, can you see if this is something specific to the evader tests and if it can be reproduced locally?

Can you point me to one failed Travis build because of this ?
I did not find one in https://travis-ci.org/OISF/suricata/builds

Hmm... I got one for http-evader-306

That is not http evader, but maybe this is a bug of suricata-verify, and that comes more often with http-evader tests since these are the majority of the run tests

Maybe, but in my own QA I see the sip failures a lot, http-evader failures seldom, and no other test fail. So I'm inclined to think the sip tests (or suricata sip code) has a different issue.

Victor, could you tell me which http-evader tests fail in your own QA ?

Actions #7

Updated by Victor Julien about 5 years ago

I haven't kept a list. Will make a note for future failures.

Should we get stdout/stderr from failed run tests in Travis ?
So we can debug this flaky behavior...

I'm seeing these issues a lot less frequent. In fact, can't remember the last time one of the http tests failed. I do occasionally see one of the sip tests fail, (almost?) always on arm64 it seems.

Actions #12

Updated by Philippe Antoine almost 5 years ago

I did not see a http test fail recently.

Though, some random failure will happen some time and we will want more debug information.
So https://github.com/OISF/suricata-verify/pull/161 is still useful even if this redmine ticket title is not entirely accurate

Agreed.

I've identified a corner case where at the start of processing a pcap, flows may get evicted from the flow hash too early. On slower hardware this is more likely to happen. I've been able to fairly reliably reproduce this with the sip tests on a small arm64 device. Working on a fix.
