[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Still happening in CI yesterday and today. Needs fixing more.

Although I suspect the test is theoretically correct, the main issue is one or two CI machines are often too slow to do time-sensitive tests.

Ive been getting this as well here:

Nice to see i might not be 100% my fault. Thought the fix should be moving away from real time for the test.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Brandon: This actually only happens once or twice a week or so for the rest of us. If your branch hits it more often that might indicate that branch needs fixing.

I think the attached recent branches have solved this in general. It's still failing in Brandon's branches only, but probably for good reason.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Reopened because it's happening again:

https://mir-jenkins.ubuntu.com/job/build-2-binpkg-mir/arch=amd64,compiler=clang,platform=mesa,release=yakkety/2804/consoleFull

Although possibly for different reasons now (anpok modified the test and brandon made the event system slower and more likely to fail).

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Brandon said he had plans to continue with Capn Proto work that would solve the performance problems it has introduced here. So this failure should go away when the Capn Proto work is finished. Although I'm not too familiar with the changes Anpok also made to the test itself. It was pretty quiet (not failing) for months prior to the recent changes.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

End of the day and I have better news now:

The first prototype of client-side vsync is working well and I'm hopeful to get it into Mir 0.26. With some luck that will solve the incompatibility between Qt's input resampler logic and our nested architecture. So then if Unity8 is able to use Qt's input resampling, Mir won't need that feature any more (we just declare it's now the toolkit's job to resample touch events).

Once Mir doesn't need to provide input resampling any more, the failing test case here will be removed along with the feature.

Yeah this failure has become more of a problem with the CapnProto event code. Prior to that it wasn't failing for months at a time.

Long term we expect input resampling functionality to get dropped from Mir, and this test case with it. Because client-side vsync should allow Unity8 to use the default QML_TOUCH_COMPRESSION instead.

Shorter term, I noticed the new Capnproto code seems to do multiple mallocs per event. Fixing that could help here.

This bug was fixed in the package mir - 0.26.0+17.04.20170126.3-0ubuntu1

---------------
mir (0.26.0+17.04.20170126.3-0ubuntu1) zesty; urgency=medium

  [ Daniel van Vugt ]
  * New upstream release 0.26.0 (https://launchpad.net/mir/+milestone/0.26.0)
    - ABI summary:
      . mirclient ABI unchanged at 9
      . mirserver ABI bumped to 43
      . mircommon ABI unchanged at 7
      . mirplatform ABI unchanged at 14
      . mirprotobuf ABI unchanged at 3
      . mirplatformgraphics ABI unchanged at 11
      . mirclientplatform ABI unchanged at 5
      . mirinputplatform ABI unchanged at 6
      . mircore ABI unchanged at 1
    - Enhancements:
      . New/improved toolkit APIs: MirInputConfig and related functions,
        MirWindow and related functions, DisplayConfig and related functions,
        MirScreencastSpec and related functions,
      . Support for configuring input configuration
      . Introduce toolkit extension mechanism for platform specific APIs.
      . Toolkit extensions for: mesa_drm_auth, set_gbm_device and
        window_coordinate_translation
      . Screencasting to a specific MirBuffer.
      . Add DisplayConfigurationController::base_configuration() so downstreams
        can get the base configuration. (Weirdly they can already set it.).
      . x11 platform: allow adjustable scale parameter.
      . Added EDID support: client API, server logging and in mirout.
      . mirout: Add newer attributes only available in the new display
        config API: scaling factor, subpixel arrangement and form factor.
      . mirout: Log the orientation and logical size of each output too.
      . Replace the mir::Server-overridable Reports with Observers.
      . Add xkbcommon to mirclient.pc Requires.private.
      . Deprecate legacy toolkit APIs that will be removed in Mir 1.0
      . Introduced 'client-side vsync', which dramatically reduces latency
        from the client to the screen (particularly for nested servers like
        Unity8).
    - Bugs fixed:
      . [performance] Restore support for better-than-triple buffering by
        default. (LP: #1240909)
      . Frame rate is artificially low on Diamondville Intel Atom systems due
        to aggressive power management (LP: #1388490)
      . [testsfail] failure in CI in
        AndroidInputReceiverSetup.slow_raw_input_doesnt_cause_frameskipping
        (LP: #1394369)
      . [trusted prompt sessions] Can't open two prompt sessions at the same
        time (LP: #1494197)
      . Changing scale, formFactor or DPI in display configuration causes
        renderer teardown/recreate unnecessarily (LP: #1556142)
      . [testsfail] ApplicationNotRespondingDetection.failure_to_pong_is_
        noticed (LP: #1570327)
      . CI failure in TestClientInput.receives_one_touch_event_per_frame
        (LP: #1570698)
      . Mir-on-X mouse input is jerky/stuttery compared to Mir-on-KMS
        (LP: #1576600)
      . [regression] Two fingers in mir_proving_server now resizes/moves app
        windows (two finger apps unusable) (LP: #1586311)
      . Pointer/cursor input lag in unity8 session (LP: #1591328)
