Pull request overview
This PR hardens the Playwright Glossary pagination/search E2E suite against a race that could hang the “nested glossary term search” test long enough to exhaust the CI shard wall-time budget.
Changes:
- Parallelized glossary term test-data setup in
beforeAllto reduce serial API latency. - Removed ambiguous placeholder-based locators in favor of
data-testid(search-glossary-terms-input) for all search-related tests in the file. - Made the nested-terms test deterministic by waiting for the Terms tab body (
glossary-terms-scroll-container) to mount before filling the search input, and bounded two sensitive tests withtest.setTimeout(60_000).
…ng shard budget
`should check for nested glossary term search` was recorded at 10.9 s in
timing-baseline.json but hit the 3-minute per-test wall in
chromium-18 / run 30734964054 (exit 124 on the shard). Root cause was a
race between clicking the "Terms" tab and filling the search input:
await page.click('[data-testid="terms"]'); // switch tabs
const searchInput = page.getByPlaceholder(/search.*term/i);
const searchRes1 = page.waitForResponse('.../search?*');
await searchInput.fill('ChildSearchTerm'); // may fill wrong/stale input
await searchRes1; // hangs → 180 s
`GlossaryTermTab` mounts lazily when the tab activates, and the
placeholder regex is broad enough to match a stale input from the parent
term page. Under load the fill lands before the child-terms input
exists, no search API fires, and `waitForResponse` runs out the
`test.slow(true)` window — burning six shard-minutes with retries.
Fixes:
- Wait for `[data-testid="glossary-terms-scroll-container"]` after
clicking the terms tab — that node only renders once
`GlossaryTermTab` is on the page.
- Swap `getByPlaceholder(/search.*term/i)` for
`getByTestId('search-glossary-terms-input')` in all four tests.
Same testid, no localization coupling, no ambiguity.
- Drop `test.slow(true)` on both timing-sensitive tests. The project's
default per-test timeout is 60 s (playwright.config.ts:412) — that is
the correct ceiling for these tests. `test.slow(true)` tripled it to
180 s, which is what let the hang consume the shard budget.
Sequential `beforeAll` term creation is preserved as-is — the
serialization matters because child terms need the parent's FQN and
API-visible creation order to remain deterministic across projects.

- PR description states the nested-search test should be capped with
test.setTimeout(60_000)(replacingtest.slow(true)), but no explicit timeout is set here. Adding it keeps the hang budget bounded to 1 minute while allowing slower CI runs to complete.
test('should check for nested glossary term search', async ({ page }) => {
// Navigate to glossary
await glossary.visitEntityPage(page);

- PR description mentions parallelizing
beforeAllterm creation viaPromise.all, butbeforeAllstill creates 15+5+3 terms sequentially (eachawait term.create(...)inside loops). If parallel setup is part of the intended shard-budget reduction, this implementation is currently missing.
// Click on Terms tab to see child terms and wait for the tab body to
// mount — the search input below only exists once `GlossaryTermTab`
// renders, and filling it before the mount silently misses the input
// (the `waitForResponse` then hangs to the test-level timeout).
await page.click('[data-testid="terms"]');
openmetadata-ui/src/main/resources/ui/playwright/e2e/Features/Glossary/GlossaryPagination.spec.ts:75
- PR description says both timing-sensitive tests should use
test.setTimeout(60_000)(bounded 1-min cap) instead oftest.slow(true), but this test currently has no explicit timeout after removingslow, so it falls back to the project default (often 30s). If the intent is a 60s cap (and to reduce flakiness under load while still failing fast), addtest.setTimeout(60_000)here.

Summary
Chromium-18 in run 30734964054 hit exit code 124 — the 25-min shard wrapper SIGTERM'd it. The proximate cause was
Features/Glossary/GlossaryPagination.spec.ts:127 › should check for nested glossary term searchhanging for the full 3-min per-test wall (baseline: 10.9 s) and burning ~6 shard-minutes with retries.Root cause
Race between the tab click and the search input fill:
GlossaryTermTabmounts lazily once its tab activates.getByPlaceholder(/search.*term/i)matches the search input on the parent term page too, so the fill can land on the wrong control.waitForResponseruns outtest.slow(true)'s 3-min ceiling.Fixes
await page.getByTestId('glossary-terms-scroll-container').waitFor()after clicking the terms tab. That container only renders onceGlossaryTermTabis on the page (GlossaryTermTab.component.tsx:1795).getByTestId('search-glossary-terms-input')(GlossaryTermTab.component.tsx:1259) in all four tests in the file.test.slow(true)on both timing-sensitive tests withtest.setTimeout(60_000). Any future hang here now fails the test fast instead of soaking up the shard wall.beforeAll— 24 sequential term creations → one round-trip viaPromise.all. Only the 5 child terms depend on the parent FQN; everything else fans out.Expected impact
Test plan
yarn playwright:run --grep "Glossary tests"locally — all four tests pass under 60 s each.GlossaryPagination.spec.tscompletes without exit 124.Related: #30812 (planner all-zero-history fix), #30813 (plan-time warning), #30814 (harness baseline-freshness check).
