Do you see anything suspicious with this code?
Just that it looks like it leaves a Deferred in an error state. You said the tests weren’t “written using” trial, but are you running them with trial, or with any runner that will consider a logged failure to be a failure? If so, the failure won’t be logged until the garbage collector runs, which might be in a later test.
Many thanks for looking into that.
I dag deeper and I found the error.
Oops, looks like I was totally off base :-).
The root cause is twisted.internet.posixbase._DisconnectSelectableMixin._disconnectSelectable
It starts as:
def _disconnectSelectable(self, selectable, why, isRead, faildict={ error.ConnectionDone: failure.Failure(error.ConnectionDone()), error.ConnectionLost: failure.Failure(error.ConnectionLost()) }): """ Utility function for disconnecting a selectable.
Supports half-close notification, isRead should be boolean indicating whether error resulted from doRead(). """ self.removeReader(selectable) f = faildict.get(why.__class__)
Then `f` is returned but in STMP we have:
f.value = smtp.SMTPConnectError( -1, "Unable to connect to server.")
This replaces the value for `faildict` via f. Any future call will return that replaced error.
Yeah, this is definitely wrong. I don't think it occurred to anyone that someone might set the `value` attribute of an existing Failure. More on the ticket.
I have created a ticket for this
https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/9339
I guess that we can continue the discussion on how to fix it as part of that ticket.

Here is my answer to Glyph's question regarding unhandled failed deferred.
The tests are not inheriting from the Trial test case.
I can run them with trial, including with --force-gc and no leftover deferred is detected. The SMTP test is [OK].
If I reverse the order, so that the STMP tests is executed last, trial will execute all tests without any error.
Yeah, your diagnosis is correct, mine was wrong. -glyph
