Unit tests on Windows run forever

[niklassiemer]

And if I cancel them, they have e.g. the following error: (#289). Right now, we have more failed CI runs in our master than successful ones! Can someone relate the problems on Windows to some recent changes in the data base code?

Traceback (most recent call last):

    return self.__get_items("id", int(item_id))[-1]
IndexError: list index out of range

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Looking through the last merged PRs it seems like PR #241 introduced the breaking of the CI for Windows.

[jan-janssen]

But why did it work when we disabled the non_modal tests?

[niklassiemer]

It was more related to change which branch is tested. In that branch I changed what is tested: branch itself instead of the merge see #302

ok, thanks again for looking into this @niklassiemer
