From b5d1505582f8c8f02cdf8264aa3730c9d826b323 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?L=C3=A9o?= Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2026 18:00:12 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] docs(tests): record the known full-suite failures specs/testing-devops.md lists "no canonical full-suite known-failing/flaky ledger" as a gap. Without one a first local run is uninterpretable: you cannot tell a regression from a platform artifact, so you either chase a non-bug or ignore a real one. Six failures on macOS against lab@c499c01b, each with its cause and a verdict rather than a blanket "environmental": - three compare an unresolved /tmp path against a resolved /private/tmp one. Those are test bugs and the file says so. - one asserts ffmpeg exit 0 for a .webp still, which is a build option Homebrew does not always carry. Needs a skip or a PNG fallback. - one opens real sockets and needs a fast connection refusal. Environmental. - one Playwright colour-contrast test had been written off as a flake. It is not: three consecutive runs failed identically at ~31s. Recorded as unexplained and possibly a real defect, because calling it noise is what stopped anyone looking. Also documents the prerequisites, since most surprise failures are a missing npm ci rather than anything here, and the CHROMADB_PORT precaution: the client reaches Chroma over HTTP regardless of the data directory, so a test run can attach to a store holding real data. --- tests/KNOWN_FAILURES.md | 106 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ tests/README.md | 2 + 2 files changed, 108 insertions(+) create mode 100644 tests/KNOWN_FAILURES.md diff --git a/tests/KNOWN_FAILURES.md b/tests/KNOWN_FAILURES.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..414c82059 --- /dev/null +++ b/tests/KNOWN_FAILURES.md @@ -0,0 +1,106 @@ +# Known full-suite failures + +`python -m pytest -q` does not come back clean on every machine, and it never +has.

One realpath fixes both of its failures. test_glob_confined_e2e is the same cause through a longer route: it mixed os.path.realpath(ws) with an unresolved secret directory, so relpath emitted "../../../../tmp/" and the assertion that the absolute path was absent from the output matched it as a substring. Resolving the secret directory puts both sides in one tree and the relative path stays short. macOS full suite goes from 6 failures to 3. The remaining three are an ffmpeg build without a WebP encoder, a socket test that needs a fast connection refusal, and the rich-text colour test that is still unexplained.
