Fix flaky LoggerPatch test in forked subprocess environments#1132
Conversation
Use a real writable file descriptor via IO.pipe instead of passing "1" (stdout) to TelemetryLogger.new. In forked subprocess environments (particularly CI runners), stdout may not be reliably writable as a raw fd, causing IO.new(1, 'wb') to fail with Errno::EBADF. The RIC silently rescues this and skips installing the LoggerPatch monkey patches, making the test flaky. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Apply the LoggerPatch monkey patch directly via Logger.class_eval instead of going through TelemetryLogger.new. The constructor also opens a file descriptor for telemetry logging which may not succeed in forked subprocess environments (CI runners), causing the RIC to silently skip the monkey patch. Applying it directly tests what we actually care about: that LoggerPatch is compatible with our current logger gem. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Use $stdout.fileno instead of hardcoded "1" for the TelemetryLogger fd. In forked subprocess environments (CI runners with to_stdout_from_any_process), stdout may be redirected and fd 1 may no longer be valid, causing IO.new(1, 'wb') to fail with Errno::EBADF. The RIC silently rescues this and skips the LoggerPatch prepend. $stdout.fileno returns the correct fd for the current stdout even after redirection.

Use a temporary file as the TelemetryLogger fd instead of stdout (fd 1). In forked subprocess environments (CI runners), IO.new(1, 'wb') can fail with Errno::EBADF, causing the RIC to silently skip the LoggerPatch prepend. With LoggerPatch active, Logger.new($stdout) redirects output to the telemetry sink (the temp file), so verify log output through the file rather than asserting on stdout.

Use IO.sysopen to get a raw fd not yet wrapped by a Ruby IO object, since TelemetryLogger.new calls IO.new(fd, 'wb') internally and some Ruby versions may raise when wrapping an fd already owned by another Ruby IO. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Separate the fd setup from monkey-patching, mirroring what
TelemetryLogger#initialize does internally but without relying on its
constructor. Debug output on CI confirmed the constructor completes
successfully (fd and sink are set) but class_eval { prepend LoggerPatch }
inside the RIC's mutate_std_logger is ineffective in the forked
subprocess environment. Calling Logger.prepend directly works.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Thanks for digging into this. I dug into this a bit deeper and came up with a slightly improved implementation if you want to review: #1133.
Improvements over what you have here:
- Upgrades
aws_lambda_ric, ensuring we're compatible with the latest version - Uses links to
aws-lambda-ruby-runtime-interface-clientthat are 200s instead of 404s (your links use3.1.3but no such tag exists). - Avoids the tautology that you have where you
::Logger.prepend(::LoggerPatch)and thenexpect(::Logger.ancestors).to include(::LoggerPatch). - Verifies the
Kernel#putsmonkey patch as well.
