When trying to build OpenFOAM, which depends on netCDF (#404) the build of netCDF v4.9.2 hangs on two tests, resulting in a timeout and test failures:
The issue seen here is similar to other test hangs on prior versions of netCDF (see easybuilders/easybuild-easyconfigs#15959).
This lead to offending tests being skipped in the easyconfigs through patches and
preconfigopts
here easybuilders/easybuild-easyconfigs#17107 (comment) and here jfgrimm/easybuild-easyconfigs@96598a2). The tests failing now don't seem to have been caused issues in the EasyBuild test clusters and we've only been able to reproduce the issue so far in build jobs with the bot (#404 (comment)) and not interactively (#404 (comment)).Since, as far as we can see, the problem only happens when building for ARM on EESSI bot jobs, the way to go is skipping the offending tests through a pre test hook on
eb_hooks.py
.Info also in the EESSI support portal.
