[erlang-questions] CT take a long time to warm up

[Roberto Ostinelli]

Hi all,

a very simple CT test takes forever to boot.


%%%%%% Module %%%%%%%%%

-module(mymodule).
-export([greetings/1]).

greetings(Text) ->
lists:flatten(io_lib:format("~s world!", [Text])).

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%


%%%%%% CT test %%%%%%%%

-module(mymodule_SUITE).
-include_lib("common_test/include/ct.hrl").
-export([all/0]).
-export([greetings_test/1]).

all() ->
[greetings_test].

greetings_test(_Config) ->
"hello world!" = mymodule:greetings("hello"),
"goodbye world!" = mymodule:greetings("goodbye").

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%


Here's the log:

==================

it literally takes 20 seconds before the first (and only) test is run. Any
ideas why?

Thank you,
