From 7d449dd02e0d251915bbe4db63510a8d662c510c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthew Mellor Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2026 09:32:28 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] fix(makefile): prevent orphaned test-services teardown from racing a live rerun MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Root cause of the CI failure on main (DNS resolution errors on the SIGKILL-rerun case): SIGKILL only kills the one PID targeted — a `make test` process's own children (in particular the foreground `docker run --rm ... make _test` test-runner container, as opposed to the detached `-d` service containers AC 8 is actually about) are orphaned, not killed, and keep running to completion invisibly. When that orphaned run's own EXIT trap eventually fires `test-services.sh down`, .devrail/test-services/ may by then belong to an entirely different, still-in-progress `make test` invocation in the same checkout — its stale-state self-heal already overwrote it. Without a way to tell, the orphaned trap tore down a live sibling run's containers mid-test, reproduced in CI as "could not translate host name ... Temporary failure in name resolution". _up now writes a per-invocation run_id; _down takes an optional expected run_id and refuses to remove anything unless the state on disk still matches it. test:'s recipe captures run_id right after _test-services-up completes and passes it to the cleanup trap's down call. Internal self-calls (stale-state cleanup, ready-timeout cleanup) keep unconditional teardown semantics — only the trap-invoked call needs to ask "is this still mine?" Verified two ways: the full 19-assertion suite (including the SIGKILL case) against a real image, and a deterministic reproduction of the exact race (up, up again to simulate a rerun overwriting state, then down with the first run's stale id) proving the second run's live resources survive the stale teardown and only go away once torn down with their own correct id. --- Makefile | 7 +++--- scripts/test-services.sh | 46 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------ 2 files changed, 44 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile index 9aad556..3364618 100644 --- a/Makefile +++ b/Makefile @@ -350,11 +350,12 @@ security: _ensure-host-cache _extended-image ## Run language-specific security s $(DOCKER_RUN) make _security test: _ensure-host-cache _extended-image _test-services-up ## Run validation tests - @trap '\ + @run_id="$$(cat .devrail/test-services/run_id 2>/dev/null || true)"; \ + trap '\ if [ -f scripts/test-services.sh ]; then \ - bash scripts/test-services.sh down; \ + bash scripts/test-services.sh down "$$run_id"; \ elif [ -f .devrail/host-bin/scripts/test-services.sh ]; then \ - DEVRAIL_LIB="$$(pwd)/.devrail/host-bin/lib" bash .devrail/host-bin/scripts/test-services.sh down; \ + DEVRAIL_LIB="$$(pwd)/.devrail/host-bin/lib" bash .devrail/host-bin/scripts/test-services.sh down "$$run_id"; \ fi \ ' EXIT; \ $(DOCKER_RUN) make _test diff --git a/scripts/test-services.sh b/scripts/test-services.sh index 0cedfb6..da0bd3c 100644 --- a/scripts/test-services.sh +++ b/scripts/test-services.sh @@ -9,8 +9,8 @@ # would be a real privilege-escalation surface the feature does # not need). # -# Usage: bash scripts/test-services.sh up # called by _test-services-up -# bash scripts/test-services.sh down # called by test:'s cleanup trap +# Usage: bash scripts/test-services.sh up # called by _test-services-up +# bash scripts/test-services.sh down [run_id] # called by test:'s cleanup trap # # Contract: # - `up` reads `.devrail.yml` `test.services` (list of `postgres:` / @@ -25,9 +25,14 @@ # starting fresh. # - Writes state under `.devrail/test-services/`: `network` (name), # `containers` (one name per line), `env` (KEY=VALUE lines, consumed -# via `docker run --env-file`). -# - `down` tears down every tracked container and the tracked network, -# then removes the state dir.

The SIGKILL test never actually killed `make`. `(cd DIR && ENV=x make test >log 2>&1) &` does not tail-call-exec into `make` (confirmed with a standalone repro) — the backgrounded subshell stays alive as a separate waiting parent, and `make` runs as its own child with a different PID. Killing only the subshell's PID killed nothing that mattered: `make` ran to full, uninterrupted, normal completion every time. The "orphaned" run and the rerun were both really running concurrently to completion, racing each other for real — which explains the DNS failures and leftover-resource symptoms chased across the last several commits. Now finds and kills make's actual PID via `pgrep -P`. 2. scripts/test-services.sh's `docker network rm` can transiently fail right after `docker rm -f` on its last container — Docker updates a network's endpoint list asynchronously, a short lag behind container removal — so a single attempt could leave a harmless but permanently-uncleaned empty network behind. Added a short retry loop (5 attempts, 0.5s apart). 3. Even with make genuinely killed, its foreground `docker run --rm ... make _test` container — untracked, unnamed, distinct from the tracked service containers — keeps running for real (pip install + pytest against now force-removed services) until it fails and exits on its own, holding the old network's last reference for as long as that takes (well over a minute under this suite's own back-to-back docker load, not a bounded race). This is real, accurate behavior a genuine crash would also produce; the test itself now explicitly reaps whatever's still attached to the old network after the rerun, the same way real incident recovery would, instead of waiting for it to free itself. Verified stable across 6 consecutive full runs (19/19 every time, including the SIGKILL case) plus the project-discover (46/46) and dependency-install (12/12) suites, all against a real image. --- scripts/test-services.sh | 22 ++++++++-- tests/test-test-services.sh | 88 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------- 2 files changed, 86 insertions(+), 24 deletions(-) diff --git a/scripts/test-services.sh b/scripts/test-services.sh index da0bd3c..be4bb31 100644 --- a/scripts/test-services.sh +++ b/scripts/test-services.sh @@ -150,11 +150,25 @@ _down() { fi if [[ -f "${STATE_DIR}/network" ]]; then - local network + local network attempt network="$(cat "${STATE_DIR}/network")" - if ! docker network rm "${network}" >/dev/null 2>&1; then - log_warn "could not remove network '${network}' (already gone?)" - fi + # Retry a few times before giving up: `docker network rm` right after + # `docker rm -f` on its last attached container can transiently fail + # ("has active endpoints") even though the container is already gone + # from `docker ps` — Docker updates the network's endpoint list + # asynchronously, on a short lag behind container removal.

The kill must land only after `_up()` has fully finished for every +# declared service (both DATABASE_URL and REDIS_URL present in the env +# file) — not merely after a container/network first appears.
