The defaults for test timeouts in meson is 30 seconds. That is not long
enough when running
$ NMTST_USE_VALGRIND=1 ninja -C build test
Note that meson supports --timeout-multiplier, and automatically
increases the timeout when running under valgrind. However, meson
does not understand that we are running tests under valgrind via
NMTST_USE_VALGRIND=1 environment variable.
Timeouts are really not expected to be reached and are a mean of last
resort. Hence, increasing the timeout to a large value is likely to
have no effect or to fix test failures where the timeout was too rigid.
It's unlikely that the test indeed hangs and the increase of timeout
causes a unnecessary increase of waittime before aborting.
There are multiple tests with the same in different directories; add a
unique prefix to test names so that it is clear from the output which
one is running.
Some targets are missing dependencies on some generated sources in
the meson port. These makes the build to fail due to missing source
files on a highly parallelized build.
These dependencies have been resolved by taking advantage of meson's
internal dependencies which can be used to pass source files,
include directories, libraries and compiler flags.
One of such internal dependencies called `core_dep` was already in
use. However, in order to avoid any confusion with another new
internal dependency called `nm_core_dep`, which is used to include
directories and source files from the `libnm-core` directory, the
`core_dep` dependency has been renamed to `nm_dep`.
These changes have allowed minimizing the build details which are
inherited by using those dependencies. The parallelized build has
also been improved.
