Badhostname in t.pull-push - how to configure to pass test?

Dev
1

In running ./doit t.pull-push, I’m seeing the test hang on:
bk push bk://badhostname
How can I configure that hostname so it will immediately fail the lookup and pass the test?
I haven’t figured out what to google so I can configure name lookup to fail.
Edit: I’m running mostly on Linux, a little on Mac.

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6761 speaks to this.

My reading is that adding a .test suffix will do the trick.

Thanks Georg.

In a bugfix repo:

$ uname -a
Linux <hostname>.local 4.4.0-66-generic #87-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 3 15:29:05 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ bk push bk://badhostname.test
Push file:///<...pathstuff...>/bugfix
  -> bk://badhostname.test
<hang>

Same thing on MacOS.
Does it work for you?

I tried bk:://test. , test.test , test.com , com.test , and a bunch of other silly permutations.

Hangs on all of them.

Do you have any magic set up to have ./doit t.pull-push pass?

Here’s what I get:

odin:dev-oss georgn$ uname -a

Push file:///Volumes/huge/bk/dev-oss
  -> bk://badhostname.test
Cannot resolve host 'badhostname.test'.

So the following diffs seem to work for me:

Perhaps a key bit of insight is that on my system, a DNS lookup of badhostname.test returns NXDOMAIN:

$ host badhostname.test
Host badhostname.test not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

The combo of patch and breadcrumbs did it!

bash-3.2$ host badhostname.test
badhostname.test has address 198.105.254.228
badhostname.test has address 198.105.244.228
Host badhostname.test not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

And Google shows this for the IP:

Because your ISP is hijacking your DNS queries. […]
Fortunately they do have a preferences page where you can supposedly turn it off.

And I disabled hijacking and I matched your host output. Then with your patch, t.pull-push works!
Thanks!
