877926 - [mach] intermittant hang flushing build output log

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

Description

[Ralph Giles (:rillian) | needinfo me]

Twice today, building today's m-c I've had mach hang with the following backtrace. Ctrl-C recovers, and re-running succeeds. Fedora 18 x86_64, python 2.7.3.

 3:28.19   adding: install.rdf (deflated 51%)

This is very interesting! You can disable the footer by exporting MACH_NO_TERMINAL_FOOTER to your environment.

Is there anything special about your environment? Uncommon terminal application? Running through screen or tmux, etc?

No, bash running in gnome-terminal with no intermediates.

Of course, it hasn't happened since I filed the bug...

Do you want me to try to reproduce with the mach from that day?

It's possible this was fixed in another bug. I'm still making my way through 1000+ build config bug updates during the 2 weeks I was out...

Perhaps you should mark WORKSFORME and reopen if it occurs again?
