bpo-45200: GHA Address Sanitizer skips 3 slowest tests (GH-30797)

vstinner · web-flow · commit ce7d66771ec6 · 2022-01-22T19:15:37.000+01:00
Skip the 3 slowest tests of the Address Sanitizer CI of GitHub Actions: * test_tools * test_peg_generator * test_concurrent_futures These tests take between 5 and 20 minutes on this CI which makes this CI job the slowest. Making this CI job faster makes the whole Python workflow faster. These tests are run on all others CIs. Example of Address Sanitizer output: 10 slowest tests: - test_peg_generator: 17 min 33 sec - test_tools: 8 min 27 sec - test_concurrent_futures: 5 min 24 sec - test_zipfile: 2 min 41 sec - test_compileall: 2 min 21 sec - test_asyncio: 2 min 17 sec - test_gdb: 1 min 43 sec - test_weakref: 1 min 35 sec - test_pickle: 1 min 18 sec - test_subprocess: 1 min 12 sec Moreover, test_concurrent_futures also seems to be affected by bpo-45200 bug: libasan dead lock in pthread_create().
