Unreliable tests on Windows?

[Thell]

After letting it sit like that while reading docs I figured something isn't right. Putting a few print statements in the tests and running without capturing shows that the tests just aren't terminating... 🤷‍♂️

threads collected...

Then it just spins at 100% of 1 core. After breaking out of that one I altered the number of threads started and tried a bunch more runs and got hangs on test_highs_call a few times and test_highs_functions on the remainder.

Any ideas?
I used winget for the reqs with -i for the cmake to set the env vars and the installs went fine as well as the cargo build... I'm not sure what to check next.

Hi again! So, it looks like this happens when threads = 0. According to Julian in the previously linked issue thread this looked to resolve their hanging issue with HiGHS on Windows, and, indeed

        let option_name = CString::new("threads").unwrap();
        Highs_setIntOptionValue(highs, option_name.as_ptr(), 1);

has resolved the issue. I'll leave it open for you to close in case you want to make that a part of highs-sys Windows configs.

Now... on to figuring out the zlip issue on Windows, lol.
