[tiran]

The problem could be related to bpo-43921. I neither have a macOS nor a Windows machine to reproduce and debug the issue. Since I'm cannot reproduce the problem on Linux, I'm unable to debug and fix it.

[pablogsal]

I neither have a macOS nor a Windows machine to reproduce and debug the issue.

Can you maybe use a VM for Windows?

[erlend-aasland]

I’ll see if I can provoke it on my Mac.

What’s the preferred solution?

1. Catch the connection failure and skip the test?
2. Retry connection?
3. Find the root cause and make sure it never ever happens :)

Maybe 2. is acceptable :)

[pablogsal]

Is possible that these are flaky tests but I am afraid this may be something more important so o would prefer to go with 3 ;)

[erlend-aasland]

I feared that ;)
