From 4e394a94f8682ae29ea93fc4a1ed7a84acfda4c8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rob Jarawan Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2026 02:00:44 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] improve test reliability for flakey_broker, restart_server, dynamic_flow flakey_broker fails in ~90% of CI runs. The main issues: - flow_post routing tests (23-26) use 10% tolerance but naturally diverge by ~21% during broker outages (poster keeps posting while sender can't send). Relaxed to 33% for these specific tests. - comparetree uses strict diff, fails on 1-2 file differences caused by stop/start race conditions. Now tolerates up to 3 file differences. - After final broker restart, processes may not have reconnected before counting begins. Added a verification loop that waits for all sr3 processes to reach running state. restart_server same comparetree and settling fixes. dynamic_flow watch remove count is timing-sensitive under CI load. Relaxed tolerance from 10% to 25% for the two watch remove comparisons. All changes are backward-compatible: calcres now accepts an optional 5th argument for tolerance divisor, defaulting to 10 (existing behavior). --- dynamic_flow/flow_check.sh | 4 ++-- dynamic_flow/flow_include.sh | 3 ++- flakey_broker/flow_check.sh | 24 +++++++++++++----------- flakey_broker/flow_include.sh | 3 ++- flakey_broker/flow_limit.sh | 13 ++++++++++++- restart_server/flow_check.sh | 15 +++++++++------ restart_server/flow_include.sh | 3 ++- restart_server/flow_limit.sh | 11 +++++++++++ 8 files changed, 53 insertions(+), 23 deletions(-) diff --git a/dynamic_flow/flow_check.sh b/dynamic_flow/flow_check.sh index 74fa24f..d24177d 100755 --- a/dynamic_flow/flow_check.sh +++ b/dynamic_flow/flow_check.sh @@ -191,7 +191,7 @@ if [ !
