Eigenvalue solver tests failing intermittently #301

Closed timryanb closed 8 months ago

timryanb commented 8 months ago

One of the integration tests that relates to the eigenvalue solver ( test_shell_plate_modal.py) seem to fail intermittently. See these runs (here and here) for example.

The current theory is that the sporadic nature of the failure is being caused by the random number generator used in the GSEP algorithm here. Seeding the random number generator before running these tests may be a good way of fixing the issue.

Closing now that #302 is merged
