From fe7764752a836f14fba653399558a9273c462438 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Julien Gilli Date: Tue, 31 Jan 2017 09:34:30 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] test: add --abort-on-timeout option to test.py Currently, when a process times out, it is terminated by sending it the SIGTERM signal. Sending SIGBART instead allows the operating system to generate a core file that can be investigated later using post-mortem debuggers such as llnode or mdb_v8. This can be very useful when investigating flaky tests that time out, since in that case the failure is difficult to reproduce, and being able to look at a core file makes a big difference. With these changes, passing the --abort-on-timeout command line option to tools/test.py now sends SIGABRT to processes timing out on all platforms but Windows.
