Check if SCDAQ actually successfully runs in CI

This can't currently be merged because it looks like we have been running with some issues for a while:

• The GMT test times out and timeout then returns error code 124.
• The CALO test dumps the core. ("timeout: the monitored command dumped core"¹)

@tjames, could you have a look at the calo issue? (As a first step it would be good to know when the test started failing.) For the muon issue I suppose we can either increase the timeout or reduce the number of iterations? Also here it might be interesting if this ever worked or we silently got slower in processing..

This belongs to #34 (closed).

Compare with previous version

The test files needs to be updated with a new pass_through file (which is one of the reasons I wanted to keep your data files from the pass through tests). I’ll look at it tomorrow.

Just to clarify this - we need a new passthrough file because the BX are now off by one as a result of the BX offset fix that we made. I am extracting a smaller file from the one captured the other day, and will make a new MR with it

Btw in case it wasn't clear - scdaq will always continually loop over the input file forever it is not forced to timeout

Ok, understood wrt the timeout, however I don't understand why it segfaults with the current input file. Is it clear why it does so?

There is a segfault? Where can I see that? Is that the error code 124?

Hi Tom,

It indicates so, e.g. here: https://gitlab.cern.ch/scouting-demonstrator/scdaq/-/jobs/25542026#L5050 unless I misunderstand the message.

Cheers, Dinyar

Please try merging with !45 (merged) for the new pass through files

Hi @tjames,
