Tests involving disk buffers fail on NixOS

[ghost]

Here is an example: https://app.circleci.com/jobs/github/timberio/vector/70981.

It might be related to some recent changes in the buffers, as these tests worked in #1432 on two weeks old master branch.

@LucioFranco do you mind seeing what's going on here (assuming it's related to recent work?)

[LucioFranco]

@a-rodin do you know how I can reproduce this locally? Seems like just a slow system, that assert I believe relates to total events passed through so unless there was an error I doubt its the disk buffer.

[binarylogic]

@LucioFranco can you try running the tests on the nix docker image? And even if the test is slow, is there a way to deterministically wait for the test to complete?

[LucioFranco]

@binarylogic yeah I can, will do so tomorrow.

It is possible to run these tests locally in Docker using this command:

./scripts/docker-run.sh verifier-nixos ./scripts/verify-nix.sh

I am having issues with running that command:

this is on WSL2 with docker desktop edge with WSL2 support.

Update: Both @a-rodin and I finally got this running locally. We both had it passing which tells me the CI machines are just being too slow. The test is correct and everything passes on a larger machine.

[LucioFranco]

Going to close this issue since technically the test passes and the larger time we applied has seemed to fix it.
