Package: emacs
Version: 27.0.50
Severity: minor

I've seen auto-revert-test02-auto-revert-deleted-file randomly fail
several times on hydra.nixos.org. Most recently twice in the past 24 hours:

https://hydra.nixos.org/build/80863766
https://hydra.nixos.org/build/80822051

I'm guessing this may be difficult to investigate, so perhaps the test
should just be marked unstable.

I'll check.

Best regards, Michael.

I wrote this about a year ago, auto-revert-test02-auto-revert-deleted-file
has been triggered to skip on hydra. There have been substantial changes
in autorevert.el and filenotify.el since then. Nobody has reported
problems in autorevert-tests.el for a while, also not on emba.

So I'll let this test run on hydra, again; let's see whether it behaves
better now.

Best regards, Michael.

It happened again on hydra :-(

I've pushed another patch to master which hopefully fixes this.

Best regards, Michael.

I've checked the logs here,

    https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/gnu/emacs-trunk/

and AFAICT there are no randomly failing tests.  Can we therefore assume
that the issue discussed here has been fixed?

Best regards,

I hope so.

Since I don't follow the hydra tests regularly, it would be helpful if
Glenn could confirm, that it doesn't happen anymore.

Best regards, Michael.

Five weeks later, but it seems like Glenn didn't have time to look into
this yet.  I checked a couple of weeks back, and couldn't see any
intermittently failing tests, so I'll just go ahead and close this.

If we see any more intermittent failures, it's probably better to just
open a new bug.
