Reload is racey with regard to reading the process state, which can cause intermittent test failures ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: WFCORE-3594 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFCORE-3594 Project: WildFly Core Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Stuart Douglas Assignee: Brian Stansberry Fix For: 4.0.0.Beta2 This can cause failures as seen at: https://ci.wildfly.org/viewLog.html?buildId=88799&tab=buildResultsDiv... The issue is that the reload operation offloads the actual reload operation to an executor, which means that it is possible to execute :reload operation followed immediately by reading the 'server-state' attribute and see a state of 'running', even though the server has not reloaded yet.
