spurious failures with OpenBSD 7.4 on xhyve

manxorist commented 8 months ago

I am seeing spurious failures due to timeout when executing consecutive commands in multiple steps in an OpenBSD 7.4 VM:

Run cross-platform-actions/action@v0.22.0
  with:
    architecture: x86_64
    hypervisor: xhyve
    memory: 4G
    operating_system: openbsd
    version: 7.4
    shell: bash
    sync_files: false
    shutdown_vm: false
    run: gmake -j$(sysctl -n hw.ncpu) STRICT=1 VERBOSE=1 AUTO_DEPS=1 check

  gmake -j$(sysctl -n hw.ncpu) STRICT=1 VERBOSE=1 AUTO_DEPS=1 check
/usr/bin/ssh -t runner@cross_platform_actions_host sh -c 'cd "/Users/runner/work/openmpt/openmpt" && exec "bash" -e'
Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal.
Error: The operation was canceled.

example run: https://github.com/OpenMPT/openmpt/actions/runs/7376167362/job/20068624263

Failure rate appears to be 1 failure in 5..10 runs (we only had about 15 runs since switching to multi-step runs).

I cannot compare to QEMU because of #73.

I'm suspecting that it's the same problem that persists that has been reported before: https://github.com/cross-platform-actions/action/issues/72 and https://github.com/cross-platform-actions/action/issues/61. The root cause has not been fixed.

After #47, I do not have any use case for this any more. I am running OpenBSD on QEMU on Ubuntu now, which appears to work fine so far.
