Description (last modified by Jacob Walls)

The ​django_test_expected_failures attribute has no effect on the parallel test runner in "spawn" multiprocessing mode, because it uses setattr to ​monkey-patch a class, and that patching is lost when workers are spawned.

To reproduce:

  • add multiprocessing.set_start_method("spawn") near the top of runtests.py if not running on MacOS or Windows
  • adjust postgres database settings to include "OPTIONS": { "server_side_binding": True} (to trigger an expected failure),
  • ./runtests.py aggregation.tests --settings=test_postgres --parallel=1 : passes
  • ./runtests.py aggregation.tests --settings=test_postgres: fails

Python will be defaulting all systems into "spawn" by default in Python 3.14, so we're about to see more traffic into this.
