• nimlibp2p:vac:maintenance:
  • Case 'FloodSub message size validation 2':
    • Run tests in different mac envs: VM: Failure; M2: Success
    • The previous tests support the hypothesis this is timeout/cpu-power related
  • Other flaky tests?
    • Either the previous VM or M2 didn’t find any other failing tests (just one attempt, though):
      • testpubsub: Only 'FloodSub message size validation 2' fails.
      • testdaemon: Stuck after a couple logs regarding IPs.
      • testnative: Success
