Unable to run tests locally?

[larsks]

In preparation for submitting a pull request, I'd like to run the tests locally, but I'm running into some difficulties. I'm trying to run them like this:

export NETBOX_CONFIGURATION=netbox.configuration_Test
python netbox/manage.py test netbox/

This produces:

Found 5314 test(s).
Creating test database for alias 'default'...
System check identified no issues (0 silenced).
E

And then it gets stuck there forever. I end up with a Python process pegged at 100% cpu:

    PID USER      PR  NI    VIRT    RES    SHR S  %CPU  %MEM     TIME+ COMMAND
2247976 lars      20   0 1790588   1.5g  19432 R  93.8   2.4   9:18.07 python netbox/manage.py test netbox/

I see the same behavior even if I limit the tests like this:

python netbox/manage.py test netbox/ -k test_remote_auth

This only discovers 10 tests but still gets stuck.

Has anyone seen this behavior?

Can you try to pass -v 3 to the test command to get some more verbose output?

Running python netbox/manage.py test -v3 netbox/ -k test_remote_auth it gets stuck after:

If I strace the process all I see are mmap and munmap calls, which doesn't really tell me anything useful.
