This was mentioned on the "[QA] Failing MobileFrontend browser tests" thread in July. I have seen a few more "getaddrinfo: Name or service not known (SocketError)" errors with Flow browser tests, and then today we got four of them. :-( See https://integration.wikimedia.org/ci/view/BrowserTests/job/browsertests-Flow-en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org-linux-chrome-sauce/65/ All three tests failures in https://integration.wikimedia.org/ci/view/BrowserTests/job/browsertests-Flow-en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org-linux-chrome-sauce/65/ at Jul 16, 2014 6:26:46 PM (UTC?) were with this error. 15 minutes earlier, https://integration.wikimedia.org/ci/view/BrowserTests/job/browsertests-Flow-en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org-linux-firefox-sauce/72/ also failed with "getaddrinfo: Name or service not known (SocketError)". The other test failure was an action that took longer than 5 seconds to complete.
In at least one case this was caused by SauceLabs not receiving any command for 90 seconds: https://integration.wikimedia.org/ci/view/BrowserTests/job/browsertests-VisualEditor-en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org-linux-firefox-sauce/lastCompletedBuild/testReport/(root)/VisualEditor%20general%20text%20markup%20features/VisualEditor_general_markup__outline_example_____Superscript____sup_General_Markup_VisualEditor_Test__sup____/
Seems to be a 90 second timeout for a Flow job as well, but without the big red error message at the top of the Sauce page: https://integration.wikimedia.org/ci/view/BrowserTests/job/browsertests-Flow-en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org-linux-firefox-sauce/72/testReport/junit/(root)/Topic%20collapsing/Topics_only_view/
This is very likely fixed with

From e-mail to qa mailing list: >>> Echo and Flow tests were all green Saturday Sept 6 for the first time \o/ But then 4 out of 6 Flow test runs today ( Sep 7, 2014 8:33:11 PM Sep 7, 2014 6:51:45 PM Sep 7, 2014 6:13:05 PM Sep 7, 2014 3:54:07 AM UTC times I think) <<< Tthere was another getaddrinfo failure Sep 8, 2014 3:45:56 AM, see <https://integration.wikimedia.org/ci/view/BrowserTests/job/browsertests-Flow-en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org-linux-chrome-sauce/185/>
