Hi guix,


the fenics package tests fail and it looks like the tests are run 3
times concurrently. Every test name is printed three times in the build
log, for example here:

https://ci.guix.gnu.org/build/1039880/log/raw

This is the maximum number of parallel jobs of the test run and if I
increase it, I get more print outputs.

AFAIK, pytest doesn't support mpi, so I don't see why the tests are
executed this way.

Anyhow, in the attached patch, the tests are executed directly using
pytest. This prevents the tests from getting stuck and subsequently I
discovered a failure in XDMF tests. With this test also disabled, the
package builds fine for me.

Maybe a fenics or mpi expert can tell if this patch makes sense?

Best regards,
Ontje
