[clamav-users] clamav-0.102.1 error

[Micah Snyder (micasnyd)]

This is the same infrequent check failure we've observed.  On our test systems, this only seems to occur when the ESX infrastructure is under heavy use (like when there are VM migrations, etc).  

It looks like an oversight in our implementation of the 'check' based test suite.  The 'T' environment variable only appears to affect the timeout for the "tc_cl_scan" tests in check_clamav.c: https://github.com/Cisco-Talos/clamav-devel/blob/dev/0.103/unit_tests/check_clamav.c#L706  All other tests either use default (4 seconds) or have the timeout hardcoded to 20 seconds.  

It should be trivial to make the 'T' environment variable work everywhere, and to increase the timeout from 4 seconds for the "tc_cl" tests where you're seeing the error (https://github.com/Cisco-Talos/clamav-devel/blob/dev/0.103/unit_tests/check_clamav.c#L667).  

As a side note, I wish to get away from using 'check' and switch to something like googletest, ctest, and/or cunit as we also migrate to cmake.

    Tried export T=30/300/3000, but failure still comes within 10-15 
    seconds. So, T does nothing here.
