I am trying to run the functional tests in parallel with multiprocess plugin which gives me random TimeoutException sometimes

my tests are really simple, each of them just goes to a webpage and check if certain element exists.

does anybody know what might be the cause?

thanks

    The cause is your webpage is timing out. But really, there isn't any way to answer this question-- you need to provide further details. – kreativitea Oct 09 '12 at 21:55

    it's actually not the webpage timeout, but a TimedOutException raised by the multiprocess plugin: File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/nose/plugins/multiprocess.py", line 261, in signalhandler raise TimedOutException() – user1732957 Oct 11 '12 at 00:41

Try running nosetests with the --process-timeout value set to something higher than your tests would reasonably take:

nosetests --processes=2 --process-timeout=120
