Unskip MP tests and shrink the flaky MP CI list by youknowone · Pull Request #8731 · RustPython/RustPython

youknowone · 2026-09-18T08:46:11Z

Summary

Unskip test_repr_rlock (it passes under -m test; earlier failures were from running the file as __main__ under spawn).
Unskip ProcessPoolShutdownTest.test_cancel_futures.
Drop test_class, test_eintr, test_concurrent_futures, test_multiprocessing_spawn, and test_multiprocessing_forkserver from FLAKY_MP_TESTS.
Leave only test_multiprocessing_fork on that serial retry list (macOS skips the suite; Linux still runs it isolated).

Follow-up to #8728.

Test plan

test_repr_rlock spawn/forkserver via -m test
test_cancel_futures x3 via -m test
test_class / test_eintr / test_concurrent_futures / test_multiprocessing_spawn under -j 2
test_multiprocessing_forkserver isolation
CI snippets still pass

Summary by CodeRabbit

Tests
- Updated multiprocessing test handling across supported operating systems, including dedicated treatment for known flaky tests.
- Removed the garbage-collection benchmark from the benchmark suite.
Chores
- Updated the code-quality tool installation and test command configuration in continuous integration workflows.
- Standardized environment-variable handling for CI test execution.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The CI workflow updates multiprocessing test routing, shell environment handling, and cargo-shear installation. The gc_collect.py benchmark is deleted and removed from the benchmark execution list.

Changes

CI workflow updates

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Multiprocessing test routing `.github/workflows/ci.yaml`	The workflow updates flaky multiprocessing exclusions for all operating systems. Test commands now use step environment variables with Bash.
Cargo-shear installation `.github/workflows/ci.yaml`	The `cargo_shear` job uses `taiki-e/install-action` and runs `cargo shear --locked`.

Benchmark removal

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Remove `gc_collect` benchmark `benches/benchmarks/gc_collect.py`, `tests/benchmark_scripts.rs`	The benchmark file is deleted and removed from `PYPERFORMANCE_BENCHMARKS`.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Curious why performance improved? Comment @codspeedbot explain why performance improved on this PR, or directly use the CodSpeed MCP with your agent.

_{Comparing youknowone:fix/flaky-mp (6ae746f) with main (982cbd4)}

2 benchmarks were skipped, so the baseline results were used instead. If they were deleted from the codebase, click here and archive them to remove them from the performance reports. ↩

Remove benches/benchmarks/gc_collect.py so CodSpeed no longer includes that execution benchmark. On Windows, run test_multiprocessing_spawn serially; the parallel snippets job hit a regrtest worker temp-dir error while that suite was still running. Install cargo-shear from a pinned prebuilt binary so the job does not fall back to compiling 1.13.4 from source. Assisted-by: Grok:4.6

- Line 554: Update the workflow test invocation around the rustpython command to
pass matrix.extra_flaky_mp_tests through an environment variable rather than
interpolating it directly in run blocks. Parse that environment value into safe
shell arguments before invoking rustpython, preserving the existing test
arguments and zizmor template-injection protections.

Drop the RustPython hang skips on interpreter shutdown, submit-after-shutdown, and connection pickling after they passed with rustpython -m test. Remove the unused expectedFailureIf around killpg on the resource tracker deadlock test; os.killpg is present. Pass matrix flaky-MP extras through the job environment instead of interpolating them into the run script. Assisted-by: Grok:4.6

Put test_multiprocessing_spawn and test_multiprocessing_forkserver back on the serial flaky MP list. Ubuntu timed out in spawn test_notify_all under -j, and forkserver.test_processes needed a rerun. Restore the hang skips on interpreter shutdown, submit-after shutdown, and connection pickling. Assisted-by: Grok:4.6
