Hi,

I am experiencing some problems when I run the tests in $root/status/. At some point, apparently when testing the first python extension, the test seem to hang and I have to kill the process manually. I am running OSX Yosemite, XCode 5.1.1 toolchain.

"""
darwin.compile.c++ ../bin.v2/libs/python/build/darwin-4.2.1/debug/object/function_doc_signature.o
darwin.link.dll ../bin.v2/libs/python/build/darwin-4.2.1/debug/libboost_python.dylib
darwin.link.dll ../bin.v2/libs/parameter/test/python_test.test/darwin-4.2.1/debug/python_test_ext.so

Questions:
- is this a known issue?

Not known.

- is it possible to know what is the call to the test and what is the test waiting for?

You could add "-d+2" to see the commands. Although it might print those out after running so it might not help. And I don't remember at the moment if there's an option to avoid the output buffering.

- is it possible to skip all python tests?

No. There is a way to limit the tests run. But it's a positive test, i.e. a whitelist, not a blacklist (option it --limit-tests=).

- is it possible to specify a timeout?

Yes. The option is "-lx" where x is max seconds to allow actions to run. Note, it's a limit on all actions, not just test actions.

- if any of these question above have already an answer in a boost related web page, where should I look?

Some of them are.. But in various places.
