Also to note is that the DELETE of managedObjects is asynchronous, so it might take sometime for devices to be completely cleaned up.
I think I know what the issue is, we are using the base class "ApamaC8YBaseTest" for our test but _deleteTestDevices() is only called by the derived "SimpleTest" classes.
@skom-c8y Do you think this is a defect?
well, I think we can consider it as one. Technically, we can do it in the BaseTest and make sure that cleanup is done only for simulated/test devices and doesn't impact real devices.
But, moving the cleanup to basetest can also be considered as a change of behavior. Perhaps we can control it via a flag and let customer's enable it if they need it. I will log an internal defect to address it.
It looks like it is very common, that test devices are not properly cleaned up on shutdown especially if the test does not terminate properly. In my case, I have 1500 test devices after a couple of days of test development. It would be good if the test framework deleted all PYSYS devices on startup.
