Passing coroutings directly to asyncio.wait() is deprecated since python 3.8 and removed starting from python 3.11. Instead, it's required to explicitly wrap coroutine in the task with asyncio.create_task() which first appeared in python 3.7.

We step into this issue running the following Transformers tests on a systems with python 3.11 or later (for example, Ubuntu 24.04 has python 3.12). Note that multi-accelerator system is required to run these tests (multi-CUDA or multi-XPU):

  • tests/trainer/test_trainer_distributed.py
  • tests/extended/test_trainer_ext.py

The error will be:

src/transformers/testing_utils.py:2380: in execute_subprocess_async
    result = loop.run_until_complete(
/usr/lib/python3.12/asyncio/base_events.py:687: in run_until_complete
    return future.result()
src/transformers/testing_utils.py:2368: in _stream_subprocess
    await asyncio.wait(
...
E           TypeError: Passing coroutines is forbidden, use tasks explicitly.

Thanks! Confirmed the changes still work on some relevant tests on our current runner env.
