This is the test summary for the HPE NonStop TNS/E platform for git
2.24.0-rc1. All tests passed except as follows:

[NEW] 1. t0500-progress-display - failed 7 out of 11. This appears to
consistently fail when run under Jenkins but consistently succeeds when run
from a non-disconnected real terminal. The difference from a pipe handling
standpoint with Jenkins is that it provides a stdout opened using O_WRONLY
rather than O_RDWR or other open() modes that might exist - we have seen
problems resulting from differences between process initiation under Jenkins
and connected terminals in other products. This failure was not present in
2.23.0.

It would be nice to understand why t0500 is failing before we release the
official build to our community.

Yeah, that would be nice, but I don't know how we could help, if you
don't even tell us which 7 tests failed...  The output of the failed
tests could also be quite useful.

It may or may not be conincidental, but there happens to be 7 tests
in t0500 that use 'test-tool progress --total=<N>', which was affected
by an endianness bug that got fixed in 2b6f6ea1bd (test-progress: fix
test failures on big-endian systems, 2019-10-20).  It would be
interesting to see whether t0500 failed before that fix as well.
