Why are the changes needed?
test_get_container_error_timestamp
has been failing semi-consistently only on Windows. We all hate flaky tests.What changes were proposed in this pull request?
The test relies on the function
get_container_error_timestamp
which returns a protobuf Timestamp object, which usestime.time
to collect the current time. However, the granularity oftime.time
anddatetime.now
are different (the latter being more precise as per https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime.now).How was this patch tested?
I don't have a Windows machine, but tests run fine locally. Will kick off a few runs in CI just to confirm.
