Bug Description

When running this test in isolation (from the Jenkins workspace dir), celeryd spits out this:

http://pastebin.com/np50kSS4 (results are truncated)

Here is the code of the test:
http://pastie.org/2730251

This test isn't really providing much value. Nothing is actually being tested; we're just running it to see if the calculator runs to completion without blowing up.

Additionally, the test job being run is using a copy of some old 'smoketest' sample files, which were recently determined obsolete and were deleted. The copy of the job data is here: https://github.com/gem/openquake/tree/6441bde53bfda23324bf6249009e9b3363202984/tests/data/demos/deterministic

My suggestion is that we skip or delete this test (since it isn't really providing any value) and replace with a proper QA in the near future. (Note: The QA tests that we have implemented so far are running stably and are providing good value.)

Revision history for this message

Okay, so apparently these results are a bit misleading. I was running celeryd from the wrong dir (but I was still able to pick up the /usr/openquake/celeryconfig.py, which should be deleted).

My point about removing/skipping/revising these tests still stands; we're running with obsolete data so it should all be replaced with new input and proper QA tests.
