exit code 241 in a CI run where it looks like

./pants test

was green 👀 anyone know what that refers to? I don't see much on Google

maybe this log line is relevant? https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/runs/2625145989?check_suite_focus=true#step:11:318

23:16:55.32 [WARN] Completed: test - src/python/pants/backend/python/util_rules/pex_from_targets_test.py:tests failed (exit code -15).
Exceeded timeout of Some(90s) for local process execution, Run Pytest for src/python/pants/backend/python/util_rules/pex_from_targets_test.py:tests

ah ha, thanks!

-15 means the process was SIGKILL’ed. casting -15 to an unsigned byte gives 241 in two’s complement format

Someone would probably appreciate being pinged about fixing that exit code. Is that coming from GH Actions?

GitHub Actions is doing a sensible thing. Pants is doing a sort of legal but not really thing of using a negative exit code https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/pull/12120 clears up this whole problem
