The
exec-watch
tests have been disabled in #7138 due to flakiness. This is a bit unfortunate, as these tests are useful for preventing regressions.What I suggest in this PR is to add a
timeout
to thewait-for-file.sh
script. So after e.g.2 seconds
the script will exit with an error if the file does not exist. This should prevent a test from hanging forever.See for example
b705448
(#10384), which is the result I got when I ran the tests on my MacOS machine. It helped me find the reason why the test was hanging forever (sed + symlink issue) and allowed me to fix it
