ci: fix the flaky integration failure, and make the next one diagnosable by SandyChapman · Pull Request #1290 · NVIDIA-NeMo/nemo-platform

SandyChapman · 2026-08-13T18:31:49Z

Summary

Python integration tests has been failing roughly half of all runs — on main as well — reported as worker gwN crashed while running ... after ~31 minutes with no test named. It was never a crash. It was the suite-wide --timeout=120 firing on one test that takes about two minutes. This fixes that test, and fixes the two things that made the failure impossible to diagnose for days.

The actual bug

test_scoped_access_keys sets bundle_cache_seconds=0, which makes the authz endpoint call load_policy_data before every PDP evaluation. The test drives a full access-key lifecycle — create workspace, create key, list, authenticate, revoke, re-authenticate — through an in-process platform, so each request reloaded the entire policy document.

Durations from --durations=25 on runs where it passed, against the 120s limit:

commit	result	duration
`88698368`	success	119.92s
`095b1991`	success	117.81s
`4c3bef54`	success	108.28s
`ed68cbb1`	success	89.47s
7 others	failure	no duration — never finished

Every pass under 120s, every failure with no duration. Runner load decided the outcome.

A one-second cache takes it to 12.96s in CI, verified on a green run. Ran locally eight times consecutively to confirm the cache does not trade a timeout for a staleness flake: 8 passes.

An alternative fix that only raised the ceiling was tested separately and gave the causal proof: that run took 129.26s — over the old limit — and passed solely because the ceiling was higher. Same diagnosis confirmed from both directions.

Why it took days to find

Two independent things hid it, and both are fixed here.

pytest-timeout's thread method calls os._exit(1). Not a signal, so faulthandler never runs. Its own stack dump goes to the worker's captured stdout, which xdist does not forward. Both diagnostic channels dark, for different reasons, leaving the controller with only node down: Not properly terminated.

GNU timeout sends SIGTERM at the 1800s wall clock, killing pytest before it writes report.xml, so the summary that names the test never printed.

Changes

test_scoped_access_keys.py — bundle_cache_seconds=1. The fix.
Makefile — --max-worker-restart=0 for integration targets only. A killed worker never runs its session-fixture teardown, so replacing it re-runs the group against resources the dead worker still holds. Measured on a synthetic crashing test: with restarts, 57s and 9 failures as it retried on each replacement; without, 7s, one failure, the test named, report.xml written. Unit workers own nothing external and keep the budget.
conftest.py — fatal-signal tracebacks to a per-worker file when PYTEST_CRASH_DUMP_DIR is set, plus a nodeid trail so the tail of the file names the test. Unset, none of it runs.
.github/workflows/ci.yaml — sets that directory for the integration job, passes -p no:faulthandler (pytest's plugin otherwise re-enables faulthandler against captured stderr and wins), and uploads dumps as their own artifact so coverage-comment keeps receiving exactly the coverage files it expects.
test_publish_to_intake.py — stable ClickHouse data directory, so a container stranded by a killed worker is reclaimable instead of blocking every later session with "does not use the expected data directory". Setup reclaims first and wipes only once that reports success — the directory is bind-mounted read-write, so wiping after a failed removal would pull data out from under a running ClickHouse — and the wipe does not ignore errors, since a partial delete would leave the session running against state it believes is empty. Provisioner invocations are bounded by a validated timeout, because an unbounded wait in session-fixture setup is charged to whichever test triggered it and produces exactly the undebuggable node down this PR exists to eliminate.
.gitignore — crash-dumps/.

Effect

The failure stops. Wall clock is unchanged — ~918s either way, since the 116s came off a worker that was not the critical path — so this is a reliability fix, not a speed one.

Type of Change

CI, build, or test infrastructure

Quality Gates

Existing tests cover changed behavior — justification: test and CI infrastructure. The ClickHouse fixture is exercised by the four tests in its module; the timeout fix is one existing test's config with its assertions untouched; the restart and crash-dump changes alter how pytest is invoked and were validated against synthetic crashing workers.
Documentation not applicable — justification: no user-visible behavior changes.

Verification

Pull request title follows the repository's Conventional Commit format
Every commit includes an appropriate Signed-off-by: trailer
Targeted tests pass, or tests are marked not applicable above
No secrets, API keys, or credentials are included
uv run pre-commit run -a passes — three hooks fail on this machine (Helm Docs, uv lock, UI lint-staged, the last on a missing local pnpm shim). None touch this PR's files.

Targeted validation:

The fix, in CI: 1322 passed with the test at 12.96s, down from 129.26s.
The fix, locally: 8 consecutive passes at 5.7–6.8s.
Restart behaviour: synthetic crashing test under -n 2 --dist loadgroup — 57s/9 failures with restarts, 7s/1 named failure without.
Crash dumps: SIGABRT to a worker — without -p no:faulthandler the file holds only the nodeid trail; with it, Fatal Python error: Aborted plus every thread's stack. Confirmed reaching pytest via make -n.
ClickHouse fixture against a deliberately stranded container: before, --remove no-ops and provisioning exits 1; after, it removes cleanly and provisioning succeeds with nothing surviving.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

… a crash The fixture asked for a fresh `tmp_path_factory.mktemp()` data directory per session, but the provisioner runs in legacy-script mode and always names the container `nmp-intake-clickhouse`. Fixed name, varying directory: the second session to want that container presents a directory the first one never used, and provisioning fails closed with "does not use the expected data directory". That is reachable whenever a container outlives its session, which is exactly what an xdist worker killed before its teardown produces. Worse, the teardown cannot dig itself out: removal only matches containers whose data directory equals the one being asked for, so `--remove` from the next session reports "No managed local ClickHouse container found" and exits 0 while the blocking container keeps running. One crashed worker then fails every later attempt in that run, and on a persistent runner or a developer machine, every attempt afterwards. A stable data directory makes the container reclaimable: `--remove` now matches it, so setup clears a stranded container instead of colliding with it. Setup reclaims first and wipes the directory so each session still starts empty, and teardown drops `check=True` so a cleanup failure cannot mask the real error. Verified against a deliberately stranded container. Before: `--remove` reports nothing found, provisioning exits 1. After: `--remove` removes it, provisioning succeeds, and no container survives the run. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Sandy Chapman <schapman@nvidia.com>

Integration workers own external resources — Docker containers, service ports, spawned `nemo` processes — through session-scoped fixtures. A killed worker never runs its teardown, so replacing it re-runs the same group against resources the dead worker still holds. That fails, and can leave the controller waiting until the outer 1800s wall clock, which kills pytest with SIGTERM before it writes `report.xml` or prints a summary. The result is a 31-minute job whose log names no test. Not replacing a crashed integration worker ends the run instead, and xdist reports the test it died on. Measured on a synthetic crashing test: with the restart budget the run took 57s and reported 9 failures as the test was retried on each replacement worker; with restarts disabled it took 7s, reported one failure, named the test, and wrote report.xml. Scoped to the integration targets, alongside the existing `loadgroup` override. Unit workers own nothing external, so they keep the restart budget. This contains the blast radius; it does not explain why a worker dies in the first place. The named failure is what that needs. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Sandy Chapman <schapman@nvidia.com>

An xdist worker that dies of a fatal signal tells the controller only `node down: Not properly terminated`. xdist does not forward worker stdout/stderr live, so whatever the dying process wrote to its own streams is gone — including pytest's own faulthandler output, which is pointed at the worker's captured stderr. That is why the integration failures have never named a cause. Writing the traceback to a file instead survives the process. `pytest_configure` enables faulthandler against a per-worker file when `PYTEST_CRASH_DUMP_DIR` is set, and `pytest_runtest_logstart` records each nodeid on entry, so the tail of the file names the test the worker was on when the signal landed. Unset, none of this runs. CI sets that directory for the integration job and disables pytest's own faulthandler plugin, which would otherwise re-enable faulthandler against the captured stderr and win. Dumps upload as their own artifact rather than joining the results artifact, which the coverage-comment job consumes. Verified by sending SIGABRT to a worker under `-n 2 --dist loadgroup`: without `-p no:faulthandler` the dump file holds only the nodeid trail; with it, the file holds `Fatal Python error: Aborted` plus every thread's stack, and the nodeid trail attributes it to the crashing test.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Integration tests now capture per-worker crash dumps, disable worker restarts, and upload dumps after failures. The ClickHouse fixture uses a stable data directory, removes stale resources before setup, and performs best-effort cleanup.

Changes

Integration test reliability

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Worker crash diagnostics and restart control `.github/workflows/ci.yaml`, `.gitignore`, `Makefile`, `conftest.py`	Pytest can write per-worker crash dumps with process and memory data. Integration workers do not restart after crashes. CI uploads crash dumps only when the job fails.
Stable ClickHouse fixture lifecycle `plugins/nemo-evaluator/tests/integration/test_publish_to_intake.py`	The fixture uses a stable data directory, removes stale containers and data before setup, and performs best-effort cleanup during teardown.

Three problems in one fixture, all reachable when Docker or a previous session misbehaves. Setup reclaimed a stranded container and then wiped the data directory unconditionally. The directory is bind-mounted read-write into the container, so when removal failed — a container that will not stop never gets removed — the wipe pulled data out from under a ClickHouse that was still running. The wipe is now gated on the reclaim succeeding; exit status zero also covers "nothing to remove", which is equally safe. The wipe itself no longer passes ignore_errors: a partial delete would leave the session running against state it believes is empty. Only a missing directory is tolerated. The provisioner subprocess had no timeout, so a wedged Docker would block inside session-fixture setup indefinitely. That wait is charged to whichever test triggered the fixture, and pytest-timeout's thread method answers it by killing the process outright — which the controller reports as a bare `node down` with no cause, the least debuggable failure available. Invocations are now bounded, with the ceiling overridable for slow environments. A timeout during reclaim counts as failure so the wipe is skipped, and teardown swallows one so a hung Docker cannot replace the real test failure with a teardown error.

…s test This test has been failing roughly half of all integration runs, reported as `worker gwN crashed while running ...`. It is not a crash: it is the suite-wide `--timeout=120` firing on a test that takes about two minutes. Durations from runs where it passed — 89.47s, 108.28s, 117.81s, 119.92s — straddle the limit, and every failing run reports no duration because it never finished. The cost is self-inflicted. `bundle_cache_seconds=0` makes the authz endpoint call `load_policy_data` before *every* PDP evaluation, and this test drives a full access-key lifecycle — create workspace, create key, list, authenticate, revoke, re-authenticate — through an in-process platform. Each of those requests reloads the entire policy document. A one-second cache takes the test from 65.58s to 5.88s locally, an eleven-fold reduction, and it still exercises the same lifecycle: the config already sets `propagation_poll_interval_seconds=0.05`, so the assertions that depend on propagation still wait for it rather than assuming it. Ran eight times in a row to check the cache does not trade a timeout for a staleness flake: eight passes. This is preferable to raising the timeout ceiling, which leaves a two-minute test sitting in a suite whose budget it dominates. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Sandy Chapman <schapman@nvidia.com>

xdist can only report `worker 'gwN' crashed while running <nodeid>`, because from the controller a lost worker is indistinguishable from any other. A timeout reads as a crash: with `timeout_method = thread`, pytest-timeout ends the worker with `os._exit(1)`, which is not a signal — so faulthandler never runs — and its own stack dump goes to the worker's captured stdout, which xdist does not forward. Both diagnostic channels are dark and the operator is left guessing. That cost days on exactly this repo. The failing test was over the 120s ceiling, and every report said "crashed", which sent the investigation towards signals, memory, and wasmtime thread affinity in turn. The one number that would have settled it immediately — how long the test had been running — was known to the controller the whole time, because xdist forwards `logstart` to it. `pytest_handlecrashitem` can amend the report, so record test start times and append the elapsed figure. When it lands at or past the configured `--timeout`, say plainly that this is most likely a timeout and what to do about it. Verified both directions: a test exceeding a 6s ceiling now reports "ran for 6.1s ... most likely a TIMEOUT rather than a crash", while a worker sent a real SIGABRT reports "ran for 0.1s" and makes no timeout claim.

Review nit on comment verbosity. Each comment keeps the one fact a reader cannot get from the code — why faulthandler is disabled in CI, why the ClickHouse data directory is stable, why the wipe is gated on a successful removal — and drops the diagnosis narrative around it. 80 lines to 26.
