is there any way to make this faster, it eventually completes but it's taking about 40 ish seconds

[jreback]

this related to #3893?

[jtratner]

Two ideas:

1. Force all test cases to use a smaller number of attempts (so they don't pause in between).
2. Change the with_connectivity_check decorator to do the URL check first and skip if it can't connect (so you'd use that as a decorator to the class, as opposed to on a particular method). Could also do that as a global that causes the entire suite to skip if it can't connect.

@cpcloud We need to merge #3914 to resolve this. I'm going to try slapping a check_before_test to it. (though if you're testing on your computer, you probably have internet access at the time, right?)

[cpcloud]

yep i almost always have a connection, but unless i'm explicitly testing something that uses the web i usually run tests with nosetests -A 'not network and not slow' --with-progressive and then remove the slow if that succeeds

[jtratner]

btw - this has now been split into test_multi1 and test_multi2

[cpcloud]

it's actually test_google that is slow and should be marked as such

[jreback]

are we doing anything about this one? or moving to 0.12?

[cpcloud]

i think should probably close as wontfix...might be nothing to do about it @jreback what do u think?

[cpcloud]

i'll be going out so if you're in favor then can u close? thx

[jreback]

I'll move to 12 just in case

[cpcloud]

closed in favor of the fact that it's been dealt with in the ongoing clean up of data.py
