Why
The
longnames-based testcase depends on a copnfigured FQDN. Buildbuddy hosts were incorrectly configured and were lacking one. As a workaround,/etc/hostswas modified to add an FQDN.We don't use Buildbuddy anymore, but the problem also appeared on team members' Broadcom-managed laptops (also having an incomplete network configuration). More importantly, GitHub workers seem to have the same problem, but randomly!
At this point, we can't rely on the host's correct network configuration.
How
The testsuite is modified to use a hard-coded IP address, 127.0.0.1, to simulate a long Erlang node name (i.e. it has dots).
This is an automatic backport of pull request #11449 done by Mergify.
