The duration_ms is now broken on Jenkins #9784
Description
Activity
raised an issue here: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-40033
My idea of the way forward here is replacing the tap plugin with
tap2junitwhich will then produce proper junit output. This solves not only this issue but also the slowdown's we've been facing in jenkins for a long time.Whats left to do is more testing plus making sure all workers have pip/tap2junit installed. At least AIX and debian7 hosts still lacks it. I have a fix for the later in my build branch.
@evanlucas yes it's still an issue, the duration reporting in Jenkins is still wrong.
I don't get the problem with the time presented in the upper right. In the screenshot in this issue, 5min 18sec is surely the right duration for all the tests to run, not something 1000 times smaller or larger. What am I overlooking?

That's the time it took the job to run, Jenkins has no problem with that as it's a Jenkins native measurement.
The problem is the duration of each of the individual tests. They all show 0ms because their duration has been divided by 1000. The parsing of the
duration_msoutput of each test is the issue.Reacted by Rich TrottAm I wrong to think this is now fixed?

As previously mentioned here, the Jenkins TAP plugin introduced a breaking change, so
duration_msreally does now mean duration in milliseconds. However, the total time taken (top right in the screenshot) still assumesduration_msis in seconds (as it used to be, and astools/test.pyassumes it to be).There's been no response to @rvagg's comment on the Jenkins TAP plugin PR, but I assume that's because it's not actively developed.
I'd suggest that the way forward is to submit a PR to the TAP plugin adding duration, and then update our scripts to use that.
