From b42b40aa48817f0277fee9f617b7fe517c80cbd0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: gsxdsm Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2026 09:25:21 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?fix:=20make=20flushAsyncWork=20actually=20drain?= =?UTF-8?q?=20=E2=80=94=20clears=2032=20notifier=20failures=20on=20main=20?= =?UTF-8?q?(#2776)?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit ## Red on main, fix-forward batch-engine (#2773) left 32 failing cases on main: `notifier.runtime.test.ts` (19) and `notifier.test.ts` (13), all `expected "vi.fn()" to be called 1 times, but got 0 times`. ## The failure is in the harness, not the notifier `notifier.ts` is untouched by #2773. `notification/notification-service.ts` was converted, and `handleTaskMoved` is fire-and-forget (`void this.handleTaskMovedAsync(data)`). The async path now awaits `resolveLifecycleColumnsForTask` and then `resolveReviewColumnsForTask` (which awaits `resolveWorkflowIrForTask`) — several more await hops after `store.emit(...)` returns. The harness had no slack to absorb them: ```ts export async function flushAsyncWork(): Promise { await vi.waitFor(() => { expect(true).toBe(true); }); } ``` The condition is true on the first tick, so `waitFor` resolves immediately. **It never waited for anything.** It worked only while the handler completed within a single turn — and it reported the resulting breakage as a notifier defect rather than as its own. Another entry in the recurring pattern this program keeps hitting: a cheap check that reads as authoritative. A `waitFor` looks like synchronization at the call site; this one was a no-op. ## Evidence | run | result | |---|---| | before | 32 failed / 68 passed (100) | | after | **100 passed (100)**, 3.25s | | after, mutated back to a single `await Promise.resolve()` | 32 failed / 68 passed — the same 32 | The mutation run is the point: the fix is load-bearing, not a coincidence of timing. Gate 732 green · `pnpm lint` clean · engine `tsc --noEmit` clean. ## Reversible decision, noted: microtasks only A `setTimeout(0)` drain also turns all 100 green, and it was my first version. Rejected on measurement: - it costs real wall-clock at every call site — the two files went **~2s → over 2 minutes**; - it **stalls under the fake timers** `notifier.test.ts` installs (lines 355/381/589), where a pending `setTimeout` never fires — 4 cases hung. The awaits being drained are promise-based (workflow-IR resolution), so microtask turns are the right currency, they work identically under real and fake timers, and they cost nothing. Per AGENTS.md *"Do Not Add Slow Tests"* — prefer fake timers over real time waits. 16 turns is slack, not a tuned number; the chain is ~4 deep today. ## Scope One test-harness file. No product code, no behavior change. Tests asserting a specific outcome should still prefer `vi.waitFor` on *that outcome* — this helper covers the "let the fire-and-forget handler finish" case, and now actually does it. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) --- .../src/__tests__/notifier.test-harness.ts | 29 +++++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 26 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/packages/engine/src/__tests__/notifier.test-harness.ts b/packages/engine/src/__tests__/notifier.test-harness.ts index 593df3d424..eb8a58ca95 100644 --- a/packages/engine/src/__tests__/notifier.test-harness.ts +++ b/packages/engine/src/__tests__/notifier.test-harness.ts @@ -14,10 +14,33 @@ interface MockTaskStoreEvents { "settings:updated": [{ settings: Settings; previous: Settings }]; } +/* +FNXC:EngineTests 2026-07-30-18:40: +DRAIN the fire-and-forget notification work, do not just yield once. + +This was `vi.waitFor(() => expect(true).toBe(true))` — a condition that is true on the first tick, so +`waitFor` returned immediately.
