  • refactor and deduplicate code
  • add list of slow tests - to be skipped for our CI debug build

The target is to get a regular CI job to finish in <= 1h (currently the debug build takes the longest to run).
A more extensive suite will run only once a day.

I'd rather keep the test status in the respective .status files in the test directories (e.g. parallel.status).

How strongly do you feel about that? IMHO having it in one place (1) will enabled easier auditing of this list (2) expresses that it's a cross-cutting concern.

I could instead move all the other rules to this single place, that also has benefits.

Not that strongly 😆.

I could get behind this. My worry is that at some point other annotations (e.g. flaky ) start appearing in root.status in addition to e.g. parallel.status (where they currently are set) and I'd rather avoid any potential confusion.

What do @nodejs/testing think?

Just to clarify: This only affects test in debug mode, and only when run in CI, and we still run the full suite in debug mode every day? If yes, 👍 good idea!

Also, could you maybe write down what metric you used to tell slow tests apart? We’d probably want to move them off the list if we improve their performance.

yes.

and only when run in CI

I'll verify.

Yes.

I copied an (arbitrary) test result to a spreadsheet, and selected all tests that took > 10s:

Real job runtime was: 1 hr 38 min
Aggregated time (due to parallelism): ~16,600s
Longest (> 10s) 190 tests took: ~6700s (40%)
another interesting data point *benchmark* tests: 1400s (%8.5)

P.S. debug CI job for this PR - 57m

In general a well ccached job will only take 7m to compile.

P.P.S. comparison with job 7574 - https://www.diffchecker.com/5I31a6oR (50 tests mismatch)

This will output an empty tuple in Python 2 (unless from __future__ import print_function).

ack.
Since it's just to add a new line I'd changed it to print('')

cases_to_run = [ c for c in all_cases if not DoSkip(c) ]

return not (FLAKY in case.outcomes and options.flaky_tests == SKIP)

Since you're trying to make the script compatible with both Python 2 and Python 3, I don't think this change makes sense. A list comprehension would work identically in either version, but filter is an iterator in Python 3, so it would raise an exception a few lines below at https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/23251/files#diff-37479d55e637ac7befeefff7f6d88025R1748.

Yeah, I should "pick a lane"... Either new functionality, or 2to3...
I'll give this whole PR another pass. Thanks for the review!

I've refactored this PR into two commits
f89fd3b - Pure refactoring, deduping, and delinting
b0adcab - Teach test.py to read test/root.status and to skip slow tests when --flaky-tests=skip

This seems good to me, but should it be two different PRs to ease review? Like, I feel comfortable signing off on one of the commits, but want to be a bit more careful reviewing the other one. If you're OK with being patient, I can spend some time with this to review more thoroughly if other people don't come along and ✔️ it soon...

I reduced the amount of refactoring in the first commit (2b24387). But in order to keep the code for the new feature succinct, I decided to keep four changes:

  1. Hoist common code to base class (GetTestStatus, and the section property to TestConfiguration)
  2. Replace ListSet with the built in set
  3. Remove ClassifiedTest
  4. Inline PrintReport
  5. How cases_to_run are filtered

plus a few trivial changes (non shadowing names, more built in idioms)


The second commit (453096c) has the code needed to skip SLOW tests when called with --flaky-tests=skip

def should_keep(case):
if any([ (s in case.file) for s in options.skip_tests ]):
return False
elif SKIP in case.outcomes:

Nit: Since all the branches return, these could be simply ifs

I thought it's seems more readable this way (like a switch)...
