Improving Reliability of Tests in CI Pipeline (snarkVM)
Issue: Flaky Tests during CI
Description:
I've noticed intermittent test failures in the CI pipeline, particularly around the networking module during stress tests.
These failures seem environment-specific and could be related to race conditions or timing issues within the test suite.
Suggested Improvement:
- Introduce Timeouts: For some tests that are highly dependent on network conditions, applying timeouts and ensuring async handling is more robust could reduce the occurrence of flaky tests.
- Test Isolation: Consider isolating integration tests from unit tests in separate pipelines. This will help pinpoint whether the issue is network-related or logic-related.
3.Mock Network Conditions: Integrate a mocking library for network conditions, such astokio-test
, to simulate failures or timeouts without depending on external environments.
These steps should improve the stability of the CI pipeline and reduce the need for reruns.
