Hi, most of the changes were due to a different formatting, I unified it.

Ciao @hkoley , first issue I can see is that: pythia8_inel_minbias.cfg is nowhere to be found, so a few tests are failing immediately. It should be located in MC/config/PWGLF/pythia8/pythia8_inel_minbias.cfg, but it's not there.
Second problem is that we're hitting the CI timeout. This happens because some generators are taking an absurd amount of time to run. When my tests are over I will post here a full report and tell you what to add in specific ini files

I think the tests just hang at some point... could you please check if there is a condition that is never satisfied while generating Pythia8 events? To give you an example: GeneratorLF_Resonances_pp900.ini has currently generated 2826000 pythia events and it hasn't triggered an event since event 24.
From the log I see:

I hope this can help
