bug 33663 showed that our test suite does not play well when PHP_Invoker is installed. It is an utility class for invoking PHP callables with a timeout and is used by PHPUnit whenever it is installed. From https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33663#18 : --------8<----------------8<-----------------8<--------- The timeout messages comes from PHPUnit. It is most probably caused because PHP_Invoker is installed ( https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/php-invoker ) which make PHPUnit think our tests are small and should run in less than a second. By looking at the code of PHPUnit, this behavior only happens while in strict mode (by looking at PHPUnit/Framework/TestResult.php. Can you try editing MediaWiki file "tests/phpunit/suite.xml", in the very first few lines you should have something looking like: strict="true" replace it by: strict="false" That should disable strict node and the whole timeout system. If that solve the issue, we would have to find a way to disable that system entirely. --------8<----------------8<-----------------8<---------
(In reply to comment #0) > PHPUnit think our tests are small and should run in less than a > second. Yes. PHPUnit knows three test sizes: * small (this is the default test size), defaults to: <= 1 second * medium, defaults to: <= 10 second * large, defaults to: <= 60 second Adding an „@group medium” or „@group large” to the test functions gives the test more execution time. See TextPassDumperTest::testCheckpointPlain() in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/gitweb?p=mediawiki/core.git;a=blob;f=tests/phpunit/maintenance/backupTextPassTest.php;h=5882cc02611a2649c2aa2fc02802dfb99cfde497;hb=da58f7f55cf588aaffd55b3f601f521514d0166f#l394
Raising the timeout to 2 seconds should do it. Patch submitted: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/4741

Looks like this issue has been solved overtime. The main one was parser tests triggering a l10n recache which took a long time. Parsertests are now in group medium, aka with a 10 sec timeout.
