Thanks for finding and fixing the error.
I think that there is an underlying problem here: the code is bad at
error handling in general. It's supposed to kill the ovsdb-server if
anything fails, but it didn't do it right: it killed $(cat pid) but the
pidfile is actually in ovsdb-server.pid. This meant that the issue
showed up as a hang instead of a test failure, which seems bad.
Also, I'm kind of inclined to just disregard the particular error
message. It might save time later. (I guess there's a risk that the
connection fails happens for some other reason that should fail the test
though.)
Anyway, I sent a pair of patches that implement my suggestions:
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/882796/
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/882798/
What are your thoughts?
Thanks,
Ben.
