Description
Issue observed:
Multi-second delay when opening a .py file in a non-python project when the host has autofs enabled with magic /net/<host>.
Diagnosis:
When a .py file is opened Qt Creator will attempt to detect the python version. It first checks the project and then falls back to calling PythonSettings::detectPythonVenvs(documentPath) to see if the python file being opened is inside a python virtual environment. This function starts in the folder containing the .py file being opened and traverses upwards to identify a virtualenv. This upwards traversal will eventually reach / where it will visit each subdirectory and look for a "bin" subfolder. One of the locations it ends up stat'ing is /net/bin. With autofs enabled this will cause autofs to try to resolve the hostname "bin". Depending on network conditions and resolver configuration this failed lookup can take a few seconds, causing annoying delays when opening python files.
Steps to reproduce:
- On Fedora Linux run "dnf install autofs" and "systemctl start autofs". To confirm that the setup for reproducing this issue is correct, simply run "ls /net/bin". It should take a short moment (a few seconds) before it returns with a failure to resolve the hostname "bin".
- Start Qt Creator on a non-python project so the IDE will call PythonSettings::detectPythonVenvs(documentPath) when a python file is opened
- Open a python file outside of a virtualenv
Expected result:
Python file is opened immediately
Actual result:
Python file takes a few seconds to open. Note that the resolver may cache lookup misses for a short while too, so after the first python file is opened the next ones may open fast for a little while until the lookup miss is expired and the resolver decides it needs to lookup "bin" again.
Desired fix:
Don't visit /net subfolder in search of virtualenv. In fact, if you get to / without finding the python virtualenv, it may be time to call it quits. I don't think it is common to create a python virtualenv in /.
The stacktrace below was created by breaking the debugger while Qt Creator was hanging in the stat("/net/bin") call while autofs was trying (and ultimately failing) to automount /net/bin:
