From 32955db02e2da709248450c50e1b45c0fc977e4d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: goodboy Date: Wed, 13 May 2026 20:10:02 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Harden `test_cancellation` for fork-spawner backends Deats, - `pytestmark`: enrich `skipon_spawn_backend('subint')` reason with conc-anal doc refs + GH#379 link, add `reap_subactors_per_test`, `track_orphaned_uds_per_test`, `detect_runaway_subactors_per_test` fixtures - `test_nested_multierrors`: parametrize over `depth` `{1, 3}`, add MTF `xfail(strict=False)` with detailed race-window comment explaining the BEG shape mismatch, wrap body in `fail_after_w_trace` with per-backend timeout budget, bump `@tractor_test(timeout=10)`, drop old multiprocessing depth special-casing - `test_multierror_fast_nursery`: wrap in `fail_after_w_trace(30.0)`, accept `TooSlowError` in `pytest.raises`, surface explicit `pytest.fail` on hang - `test_cancel_while_childs_child_in_sync_sleep`: swap `spawn_backend` param for `is_forking_spawner`, widen `fail_after` delay for fork-based spawners - `test_remote_error`, `test_multierror`, `test_cancel_infinite_streamer`, `test_some_cancels_all`: add `set_fork_aware_capture` fixture param - Drop commented-out per-test `skipon_spawn_backend` blocks (now covered by module-level `pytestmark`) (this patch was generated in some part by [`claude-code`][claude-code-gh]) [claude-code-gh]: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code --- tests/test_cancellation.py | 261 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------- 1 file changed, 197 insertions(+), 64 deletions(-) diff --git a/tests/test_cancellation.py b/tests/test_cancellation.py index af1ae51d..338ae769 100644 --- a/tests/test_cancellation.py +++ b/tests/test_cancellation.py @@ -7,6 +7,7 @@ import signal import platform import time from itertools import repeat +from typing import Type import pytest import trio @@ -14,6 +15,7 @@ import tractor from tractor._testing import ( tractor_test, ) +from tractor._testing.trace import FailAfterWTraceFactory from .conftest import no_windows @@ -21,14 +23,44 @@ _non_linux: bool = platform.system() != 'Linux' _friggin_windows: bool = platform.system() == 'Windows' -pytestmark = pytest.mark.skipon_spawn_backend( - 'subint', - reason=( - 'XXX SUBINT HANGING TEST XXX\n' - 'See oustanding issue(s)\n' - # TODO, put issue link! - ) -) +pytestmark = [ + # Multi-actor cancel cascades under + # `--spawn-backend=subint` trip the abandoned-subint + # GIL-hostage class — a stuck subint can starve the + # parent's trio loop and block cancel-delivery. + # Apply the skip module-wide rather than per-test + # since every test here exercises the same cascade. + pytest.mark.skipon_spawn_backend( + 'subint', + reason=( + 'XXX SUBINT GIL-CONTENTION HANGING TEST XXX\n' + 'Cancel cascades under ' + '`--spawn-backend=subint` trip the abandoned-subint ' + 'GIL-hostage class — see\n' + ' - `ai/conc-anal/subint_sigint_starvation_issue.md` ' + '(GIL-hostage, SIGINT-unresponsive)\n' + ' - `ai/conc-anal/subint_cancel_delivery_hang_issue.md` ' + '(sibling: parent parks on dead chan)\n' + ' - https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/issues/379 ' + '(subint umbrella)\n' + ) + ), + pytest.mark.usefixtures( + 'reap_subactors_per_test', + # NOTE, cancellation tests stress the SIGKILL + # `hard_kill` path which leaks UDS sock-files when + # the subactor's IPC server `finally:` cleanup + # doesn't run.
