Commit message

force-badtest armhf tests for python-tornado

Description of the change

The SimpleHTTPSClientTestCase.test_request_timeout test is flaky apparently due to a timeout while establishing the SSL connection.

Test logs show it can pass, but after retrying several times without success, I think a hint maybe better suited.

I did not notice this issue on other architectures.

There is no python-tornado upload in proposed-migration that we could skip tests for, I assume you mean to force-badtest - i.e. ignore the python-tornado tests triggered by other packages.

I don't see that anyone has attempted a python-tornado baseline retest? (retry-autopkgtest-regressions --no-proposed) I've triggered one now; depending on how non-flaky it is, this may be sufficient.

The annoying thing with a baseline retest on a flaky test is it just keeps bouncing back eventually so the issue comes up again and again.

And the annoying thing about a badtest hint for a flaky test is that if the test ever gets fixed to not be flaky, the hint will prevent us from detecting any future regressions 😉

python-tornado baseline also failed so this is no longer blocking.
