FeatureRequest
Issues asking for a new feature that does not need a proposal.
NeedsInvestigation
Someone must examine and confirm this is a valid issue and not a duplicate of an existing one.
Milestone
It's common for Go tests that require certain capability or dependency to skip themselves if the environment doesn't meet that requirement. For example, see the various
MustHave*
helpers ininternal/testenv
.Perhaps it'd be possible for
watchflakes
to detect instances of patterns where an existing test goes from passing to skipping, and report them in a useful way (i.e., a high enough signal to noise ratio). It might only be viable if it's possible to filter out cases where such changes are intended, e.g., a CL that directly adds at.Skip(…)
line to the test.Filing this as a tracking issue.
