| Description: |
When I run winDde.test, I get several intermittent failures; the attached file has examples. I suspect that the test suite code is timing dependent. | |||

Logged In: YES user_id=99768 Commited a change to 'createChildProcess' to make it leave the event loop alive for 200 ms after the 'done' flag is set, to help make sure that the parent process has time to claim all results. This appears to stop the nuisance test failures. As Joe observes, DDE itself is rather fragile, but this change silences an annoying test failure. mistachkin added on 2004-05-26 08:09:36: Logged In: YES user_id=113501 The WinDDE code in the test suite is fragile and timing dependent (mostly due to the nature of DDE itself) and crashes a VB app I wrote that listens for DDE requests. kennykb added on 2004-05-20 22:07:51: File Added - 87794: dde.errs | |||
