There was a problem hiding this comment.
It sounds fine to run tests in a subprocess to prevent false when hunting reference leaks (hooks cannot be unregistered). But I'm not sure about running individual tests one by one. I suggest to run the whole script, so rely on unittest.main() test discovery. Otherwise, there is a risk of forgetting the related test method in test_audit.py. test_eintr uses a similar approach.

If the tests are run separately, it reduces the risk of them interfering with each other, and also helps with tracking test results over time. |

* bpo-36670: regrtest bug fixes (GH-16537) * Fix TestWorkerProcess.__repr__(): start_time is only valid if _popen is not None. * Fix _kill(): don't set _killed to True if _popen is None. * _run_process(): only set _killed to False after calling run_test_in_subprocess(). (cherry picked from commit 2ea71a0) * [3.8] Update libregrtest from master (GH-19516) * bpo-37531: regrtest now catchs ProcessLookupError (GH-16827) Fix a warning on a race condition on TestWorkerProcess.kill(): ignore silently ProcessLookupError rather than logging an useless warning. (cherry picked from commit a661392) * bpo-38502: regrtest uses process groups if available (GH-16829) test.regrtest now uses process groups in the multiprocessing mode (-jN command line option) if process groups are available: if os.setsid() and os.killpg() functions are available. (cherry picked from commit ecb035c) * bpo-37957: Allow regrtest to receive a file with test (and subtests) to ignore (GH-16989) When building Python in some uncommon platforms there are some known tests that will fail. Right now, the test suite has the ability to ignore entire tests using the -x option and to receive a filter file using the --matchfile filter. The problem with the --matchfile option is that it receives a file with patterns to accept and when you want to ignore a couple of tests and subtests, is too cumbersome to lists ALL tests that are not the ones that you want to accept and he problem with -x is that is not easy to ignore just a subtests that fail and the whole test needs to be ignored. For these reasons, add a new option to allow to ignore a list of test and subtests for these situations. (cherry picked from commit e0cd8aa) * regrtest: log timeout at startup (GH-19514) Reduce also worker timeout. (cherry picked from commit 4cf65a6) Co-authored-by: Pablo Galindo <Pablogsal@gmail.com> (cherry picked from commit 67b8a1f) * bpo-36842: Fix reference leak in tests by running out-of-proc (GH-13556) (cherry picked from commit 9ddc416) * Backport libregrtest changes from master Co-authored-by: Steve Dower <steve.dower@python.org>
