From 2186c98eda6c71bc34ded4ee9ab4822cb021af78 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "google-labs-jules[bot]" <161369871+google-labs-jules[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Sun, 29 Mar 2026 04:10:36 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/5] Add HOW_TO_TEST.md and a trivial sequencer test This change adds a comprehensive `HOW_TO_TEST.md` file that explains how to add new sequencer tests, update golden files (`generated.md` and `sequencer.out`), and resolve flaky test issues such as state leakage and timing problems. To demonstrate and ensure the CI checks pass, a new `trivial_test` has been added to `SystemSequences.java`, and the associated expected output files have been updated. Furthermore, `LC_ALL=C` is now set globally in `etc/shell_common.sh` to ensure consistent and deterministic sorting of output files, specifically for `sort -k 3,4` in `etc/sequencer.out`, preventing cross-environment test suite flakiness.

Create the Test + +Sequencer tests are located in `validator/src/main/java/com/google/daq/mqtt/sequencer/sequences/`. +To create a new test, locate the appropriate sequence class (e.g., `SystemSequences.java`) or create a new one. + +Add your test method, annotated with `@Test`, `@Feature`, and `@Summary`. For example, a trivial test: + +```java + @Test(timeout = TWO_MINUTES_MS) + @Feature(stage = ALPHA, bucket = SYSTEM) + @Summary("Trivial test to check testing infrastructure") + public void trivial_test() { + checkThat("this is a trivial test", () -> true); + } +``` + +*Note: The sequencer tests share the same JVM instance. Avoid using `static` variables for test state to prevent cross-test leakage and flaky behavior.* + +## 2. Update Golden and Expected Files + +Just adding the test is not sufficient. You need to update the expected outputs and golden files used by the CI testing infrastructure. + +### A. Update `docs/specs/sequences/generated.md` + +This file documents all the tests. To update it, run: +```bash +bin/gencode_seq +``` +This will append your new test to the documentation. + +### B. Update `etc/sequencer.out` + +This golden file contains the expected outputs for all tests. You must manually add your test's expected output or regenerate it by running the sequencer locally and verifying the output. + +When manually adding an entry to `etc/sequencer.out`, **ensure the contents are sorted correctly** so they match the generated `out/sequencer.out` during testing. Use the following command to sort the file: +```bash +LC_ALL=C sort -k 3,4 -o etc/sequencer.out etc/sequencer.out +``` + +Example of a test entry: +```text +RESULT pass system.mode trivial_test ALPHA 10/10 Sequence complete +``` + +If you add, modify, or remove a test, this file must reflect those changes. + +### C. Verify with `bin/test_sequcheck` + +To verify that your newly added output matches the tests, run: +```bash +bin/test_sequcheck +``` +This command compares `out/sequencer.out` against `etc/sequencer.out`. It will fail if your test is not in the expected file or if the file isn't sorted correctly. + +## 3. Dealing with Flaky Tests + +When encountering unexpected test failures, you should **double-check them**, as flaky tests are common in complex integration test suites. + +* Use a **unique test name**. This makes it easy to trace any particular CI failure to your newly added test versus an existing, flaky test. +* **Discovery tests:** If testing discovery events (e.g., nmap scans), use polling loops instead of hardcoded `time.sleep()` to prevent flaky test failures due to variable execution times. +* **Timeouts:** If your test waits for a long-running operation (like a device restart or delayed connection), make sure to use `DEFAULT_LOOP_TIMEOUT` rather than the shorter `DEFAULT_WAIT_TIME` to prevent premature test timeouts. +* **State Leakage:** As mentioned earlier, avoid modifying `static` fields. Config transactions leaking across test runs executing in the same JVM session will cause flaky failures in subsequent tests. diff --git a/docs/specs/sequences/generated.md b/docs/specs/sequences/generated.md index 45917faecc..cf7d2cd9b1 100644 --- a/docs/specs/sequences/generated.md +++ b/docs/specs/sequences/generated.md @@ -68,6 +68,7 @@ Some caveats: * [state_software](#state_software-stable): Check that a device publishes correct software information in state messages * [system_last_update](#system_last_update-stable): Check that last_update state is correctly set in response to a config update. * [system_mode_restart](#system_mode_restart-preview): Restart and connect to same endpoint and expect it returns. +* [trivial_test](#trivial_test-stable) * [valid_serial_no](#valid_serial_no-stable) ## bad_point_ref (PREVIEW) @@ -661,6 +662,9 @@ Restart and connect to same endpoint and expect it returns. 1.
