Thanks!

I can see runtest is timing out on 32-bit (both x86_32 and arm32) after 2 hours.

If you want to investigate locally what is causing it, something like the following should start a 32-bit docker image:

docker run -it --platform linux/i386 ocaml/opam:debian-12-ocaml-5.4

A quicker fix would be to guard runtest with arch != "arm32" & arch != "x86_32"

[tmcgilchrist]

Weird. Those timeouts seem to be infrastructure related, both timed out trying to install dependencies rather than compiling or running tests, plus I'm using this library in JSOO without issues.

[jmid]

Hm, it happened again on x86_32 and arm32, despite rerunning CI and it still triggers when run with --with-test:

/home/opam: (run (network host)
                 (shell "(opam reinstall --with-test avro-simple.0.1) || true"))

Will this also runtest for the dependencies?

I can see QCheck installed as a dependency, for which a shrinker loop could explain the observed behaviour.
Are there any non-trivial false PBTs in avro-simple or custom shrinker algorithms? (admittedly it could potentially also be surfacing a corner-case that I've overlooked...) 🤔

[tmcgilchrist]

Turns out some of the property tests are long running and might be the cause of those timeouts. Let me remove those from the opam test command and I'll update the source for this PR.

[tmcgilchrist]

Now I've given up and just disabled those platforms bcff42d I haven't been able to reproduce the issue using docker

[jmid]

Thanks, LGTM!

Do you know what the circular dep error from opam 2.0 means? A few other PRs have that error , perhaps it’s an infrastructure issue with the obuilder spec? Thanks for your help on this @jmid
