[Zope-Checkins] CVS: ZODB3/ZEO/tests - testConnection.py:1.1.2.6

[Tim Peters]

Update of /cvs-repository/ZODB3/ZEO/tests
In directory cvs.zope.org:/tmp/cvs-serv15095/ZEO/tests

Modified Files:
      Tag: ZODB3-3_1-branch
	testConnection.py 
Log Message:
WindowsConnectionTests.shutdownServer():  Grossly boost the sleep() at
the end.  Before Python 2.3 there is no waitpid on Windows, and so no
way to know when a ZEO server has gone away.  Tests calling
shutdownServer() assume the server has gone away when the method returns,
and can fail or hang if that isn't true.  This is especially acute when
running Berkeley tests, because a Berkeley server seems to take longer
to shut itself down.  The --all tests take longer on Windows now (this
patch has no effect on Linux), but did all pass for me on Win2K (incl.
the Berkeley tests).
