This hopefully reduces sporadic failures in Windows ci. Signed-off-by: Lukas Puehringer <[email protected]>
Excluding more tests on Windows (HSM signer) further decreases test coverage to ~88%. This commit makes 85% the lower boundary for all platforms. Coverage measurement should fine tuned with secure-systems-lab#208 and changed back to a higher value! Signed-off-by: Lukas Puehringer <[email protected]>

The failing test is an unrelated platform-independently flaky rsa test 😢 It is documented in #462. EDIT: did not fail on a second run. let's fix / work around this separately |

Patching globals to modify function behavior is an anti-pattern and should not be recommended to a user!! But it seems acceptable in tests (see secure-systems-lab#542). For this to work, the global must not be used before being modified, which, AFAIK, is not possible, if the global is defined and used (e.g. in a function signature) in the same scope. This commit changes the relevant function to access the default value in local scope, so that it global can be imported and modified before it. More invasive but probably more correct solutions would be: - move either GPG_TIMEOUT or is_available_gnupg to a different module, or - call relevant functions in tests with an explicit timeout arg Signed-off-by: Lukas Puehringer <[email protected]>

Works around issues that would frequently fail Windows CI as documented in #520, by:
This PR also once more lowers the minimum test coverage requirement, to account for the excluded tests. This should be reverted with #208.
