             Summary: Automatically interrupt hanged tests
                 Key: ISPN-8554
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-8554
             Project: Infinispan
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: Test Suite - Core
    Affects Versions: 9.2.0.Beta1
            Reporter: Dan Berindei
            Assignee: Dan Berindei
             Fix For: 9.2.0.Beta2


Tests should always use timed wait, e.g. {{future.get(10, SECONDS)}} instead of {{future.get()}}. However, it's really easy to use the wrong method, and if a deadlock happens the test suite will never finish.

Jenkins builds do have a timeout, but the timeout kill procedure is not at all investigation-friendly: only the console output survives, the logs and test results don't.

We can add a listener ({{IHookable}} in TestNG, because regular listeners are not always invoked on the same thread as the test method) to detect when a test has been running for too long and interrupt the test thread. We can even save a thread dump to make the investigation easier.
