not very basic maintenance

[faddat]

This PR originally set out to do basic maintenance on Juno.

Trouble is that tests would fail at random.

• Decided to upgrade interchaintest
• Interchaintest's changes required changes to Juno's interchain tests

....so this PR upgrades numerous libraries used in Juno, as well as its test suite.

[faddat]

I think that that e2e is just flaky, you probably need to rerun CI in order for this to pass.

[JakeHartnell]

Looks good, any thoughts on the failing test?

[faddat]

just should need to click the button that runs it again.

It is likely a "flaky test" -- these are common with interchaintest, which doesn't generally pass its own test suite due to flakiness

[faddat]

@JakeHartnell good example of flaky tests: this didn't pass, again. But it didn't pass on different tests.

Please note that in the first run, pfm failed.

In the second run, clock and upgrade failed.

Why?

ictest isn't consistent

Let's try again for fun

[faddat]

oops this time it was feepay

might as well add another godoc

[faddat]

oh snap now it is ibchooks

let's do a 4th

[faddat]

Looks good, any thoughts on the failing test?

If we follow the same approach as is used in the ibctest upstream, and keep spamming with commits that change nothing, it should eventually pass.

Of course it means that all of the failures were meaningless....

or were they?

[faddat]

Look familiar?

It's the same happening in the interchaintest repo when it tries to run their own tests

[faddat]

Ah, pfm doesn't work again

[faddat]

Remember changes to comments do not actually change what the code does, what you're seeing is the level of flakiness in the IC tests

[faddat]

Clock again

[faddat]

"but sometimes clock doesn't poop the bed"

Yes

[faddat]

Pfm too

[faddat]

good news is that it is probably not the modules themselves, just the code that tests them

doing a 6th test run

...btw probably the way they passed in the past is whomever was maintaining just clicked the button to run them till they all passed

Don't really know another way actually

[faddat]

oop, ictest-basic this time

[faddat]

go.mod is much cleaner now anyhow, and comet is the same version on the chain and in the tests, and a few other libs as a result of that.

[faddat]

oops tests need to be rewritten

• strangelove-ventures/interchaintest@735fd2f

[faddat]

@JakeHartnell tl;dr here:

1. interchaintest is pretty unstable and will throw unanticipated results
2. juno's test code wasn't kept up to date with strangelove's interchaintest code, which was changed to follow the cosmos-sdk conventions around feb 20
3. juno's test code is now updated
4. that might not really matter for the stability of the tests
5. you should have a "run failed test again" option as a repo admin. The way tests passed previously is that it was clicked many times until all of the tests passed
6. or maybe I made type errors in the transition

....so that's what is up with the failed test

BTW if you'd like to put proof behind the above assertions, just recreate the scenario of any recent pull request.

If the check mark isn't green right away just click that magic button a few times

Since we are working with tests it is actually important to prove this kinda thing.

Unfortunately.

Also from looking at some of the logs, it could be that there's code baked into the image server at SL that we don't have but now that needs to be updated, to be quite honest I'm not really sure at this point.

I just don't know of anywhere where ICT works in a consistent manner.

• ictest-basic
• ictest-globalfee
• ictest-upgrade

[faddat]

@JakeHartnell - wrt this pr and that test:

• welp, interchaintest did not work to begin with
• then I updated it
• then the tests needed to be updated
• now idk if I broke stuff or not

Maybe just figure that:

• the merge of this PR signals the release of juno v23
• v24 is sdk 50

[faddat]

@JakeHartnell I have no idea if these work or ever worked better than clicking the button for em 20 times. I will try and check some more.

[faddat]

Don't pass in CI

• basic
• pfm
• cwhooks

[faddat]

cwhooks passes locally but not in ci
pfm passes locally but not in ci

[faddat]

this is good to go, guess need to either add a delay to the cwhooks test (something with firing up the image) or just run it locally.

[dimiandre]

ci passed now.

instead of re-run all tests, re running only failed ones gives an higher success rate

we should migrate away from ict

thanks for handling this!
