Stateful testing gives hypothesis.errors.Flaky: Run failed initially but succeeded on a second try

Question

I am trying to solve a puzzle using Hypothesis similar to what has been done here:

Unfortunately it fails intermittently with the Flaky error and I am not able to track down the problem using pdb.

My program source is at:

It can be run using py.test.

Any assistance to diagnose and solve the problem appreciated.

Tried to reproduce but could not see any error when I ran your code: https://gist.github.com/c3fcc74398981fdf14cff8ce9a0ba77f I use python 3.6, py.test 3.1.1, hypothesis 3.11.1 — MarSoft, Jun 06 '17 at 21:56
I have since fixed it. The problem was caused by calling random.samole inside my rule rather than using st.choices. Thank you for your attention. — sureshvv, Jun 07 '17 at 11:31

Problem was caused because of calling random.sample inside my rule. Need to use the strategies.choices() instead.

sureshvv

can we have strategies,sample() to provide a list of choices similar to random.sample? – sureshvv Jun 09 '17 at 04:59
