lava-test fails to complete for beagle board hwpack

Yes, sometimes it may fail, and we don't try to run the following case by lava-run, see bug 844299

The handler process is duplicated with #844299, but if for why lava-test deployment failed, need to run with some debug info opened.

How to enable the debug option ? Do we need to enable it while running the lava-tool submit-job ?

Thanks!!!
Deepti.

Lava-test help command can take longer than 10 seconds. Please increase it
to 2-3 minutes.

#Test if lava-test installed
    try:
        client.run_shell_command(
            'chroot /mnt/root lava-test help',
            response="list-test", timeout=10)

I already patched this on the server to 1 min. to see if that will be sufficient, but asked deepti to open the bug so that we track it and make sure the fix goes into the version we release this month. Deepti, please let us know if you see any more problems with it.

I tried the tests again and this time it failed with

root@master:/tmp#

Deepti, could you please open a new bug on that and point at the job where you got that? This is something completely different, and indicates that it failed to connect to the dashboard to upload the results. Go ahead and open it against the dispatcher for now, as it certainly needs to retry that connection if it fails. However we should also investigate what was going on at that time. Do you know about when this happened?

I am able to get the test run successfully completed.
But there are times when the tests fail intermittently with the error like the below:

root@master:/tmp# ifconfig eth0 | grep 'inet addr' | awk -F: '{print $2}' |awk '{print $1}'
ifconfig eth0 | grep 'inet addr' | awk -F: '{print $2}' |awk '
�{print $1}'

RuntimeError: Could not retrieve http://192.168.1.121/lava_results.tgz

The above error can be seen in the job http://validation.linaro.org/lava-server/scheduler/job/1569
I will open a new bug if the problem persists and the frequency is more often, but for now we can close this bug.
Do I need to open a new bug for the above error ?

Thanks!!!
Deepti.

I increased the timeout to 60 seconds and it seems to be a good fit.
