I think it's due to timeouts but maybe there is something buried in the logs that I missed. I waste time skimming through logs when merging qemu.git pull requests and electricity is wasted on tests that don't produce useful pass/fail output. Here are two recent examples: https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/jobs/3070754718 https://app.travis-ci.com/gitlab/qemu-project/qemu/jobs/583629583 If there are real test failures then the test output needs to be improved so people can identify failures. If the tests are timing out then they need to be split up and/or reduced in duration. BTW, if it's a timeout, why are we using an internal timeout instead of letting CI mark the job as timed out? Any other ideas for improving these CI jobs?
