@esoros @am11 Could you please look into fixing this test on Alpine?

[esoros]

Yeah I can take a look at this - I don’t think that alpine supports pthread_setname_np but I need to verify that

[esoros]

@am11 @jkotas Not to spin around in circles but are you fine with removing the tests? I don't see a compiler pragma for musl and don't have a goof way off the top of my head to conditionally run these tests.

[jkotas]

I would be fine with it.

[am11]

This was the first conditionally compiled PAL test.

I don't see a compiler pragma for musl

The test is already excluded from compilation on Alpine (which is why PAL tests are building on Alpine without error). During the test run, however, this line is causing issue if the test name (from .txt file) was not found in test binaries:

runtime/src/coreclr/pal/tests/palsuite/paltests.cpp

Line 74 in 584d9bf

return PrintUsage(argc, argv);

fix is to replace this line with a simple skip message: printf("Skipping test '%s' because its binary was not found on this platform.\n", argv[1]); return 0; for any conditionally-compiled test.

@am11 @esoros @jkotas This test has been failing every coreclr outerloop job since it was introduced 11 days ago (https://dev.azure.com/dnceng/public/_build?definitionId=655&_a=summary).

Can we either get it (1) disabled (for just Alpine, or for all platforms), (2) fixed, or (3) deleted ASAP?
