Add Manager request state machine tests (#265) #270

octoaide · 2025-12-30T03:22:10Z

Summary

This PR adds deterministic unit tests for the Manager request state machine to cover policy queue logic, delete-queue accumulation, and idle-mode branching. These tests validate duplicate suppression in sampling_policy_list, confirm correct accumulation and de-duplication behavior for delete_sampling_policy, and exercise idle-mode branching between health-check and config-reload paths.

What changed

Added comprehensive tests targeting src/request.rs request handling logic. The test suite covers:
- Duplicate suppression in the policy queue (multiple scenarios including rapid add/remove cycles and empty inputs)
- Delete queue accumulation and de-duplication (including boundary cases and order preservation)
- Idle-mode branching and notifications (config reload vs health check, idle state transitions)
Tests are deterministic and run on the current-thread Tokio runtime flavor to avoid race-prone behavior.
Tests use in-memory helpers and mocked/stubbed Manager interactions; no network access is required.

Tests added (high level)

Duplicate suppression tests (several scenarios)
Delete queue accumulation tests (including boundary and rapid-cycle cases)
Idle mode branching tests (config reload, health check, and state transitions)

Notes

All tests are written to avoid timing/race conditions and focus on logic correctness.
Run tests with: cargo test --all-features
Only test code was added/modified; no production API/networking changes were made.

Closes #265

It would be good to add tests that isolate the health_check = true branch using mocks/stubs and explicitly verify immediate return and no waiting for config_reload.
Additionally, for the enter_idle_mode–related tests, please make try_connect injectable so that network dependencies can be removed.

octoaide · 2026-01-06T04:01:37Z

Thanks — I analyzed your feedback and have addressed it. I've committed and pushed the changes.

What I changed

Made try_connect injectable by adding two traits in src/request.rs:
- ConnectionAttempt — abstracts try_connect so tests can provide a mock connector
- IdleModeState — exposes the idle-mode state (status, config_reload) so state transitions are testable
Refactored enter_idle_mode so it has a generic entry point:
- enter_idle_mode_with_connector<T: ConnectionAttempt + IdleModeState>() accepts an injected connector/state
- The existing Client::enter_idle_mode now delegates to that generic function, so production code is unchanged while tests can inject mocks
Added tests that isolate the health_check = true branch (7 new tests). Key behaviors covered:
- health_check_true_returns_immediately_no_config_reload_wait: verifies immediate return and no waiting on config_reload
- health_check_true_immediate_return_on_success: uses a timeout to assert no blocking
- health_check_false_waits_for_config_reload: confirms the contrasting behavior when health_check = false
- health_check_true_sets_status_to_idle_then_ready: checks status transitions
- health_check_true_retries_on_connection_failure: verifies retry behavior still works with health_check = true
- config_reload_exits_idle_mode_without_connection: ensures config_reload can exit idle mode even on connection failure
- idle_mode_state_trait_client_implementation: confirms Client implements the new IdleModeState trait correctly
Fixed a clippy issue by moving RetryMockConnector (and its trait impls) out to module scope so there are no items after statements
Ran formatting/linting once; clippy is clean

Result

All tests (25) pass locally and CI should be green
Network dependencies removed from the enter_idle_mode tests via the injectable try_connect mock
The health_check = true branch is now fully isolated and covered by tests

Thanks again for the suggestion — the injection point and isolated tests are implemented and pushed. Let me know if you want additional edge cases covered or a follow-up refactor to further decouple the state transitions.

pott-cho · 2026-01-13T01:46:54Z

Removed excessive mock code written by Octoaide and simplified the tests to focus on functional-level verification.

How about adding an assertion?

Instead of simply draining the channel using let _ = ..., I suggest asserting the received values.
This ensures that the initial policies (1 and 2) were processed and queued correctly before we test the duplicate suppression logic.

Suggested change

let _ = rx.try_recv();

let _ = rx.try_recv();

assert_eq!(rx.try_recv().expect("Should receive first policy").id, 1);

assert_eq!(rx.try_recv().expect("Should receive second policy").id, 2);

Could we add a few more network-free unit/regression tests to lock down some important edge cases?

sampling_policy_list() send-failure path

Add a test where the receiver is dropped (or the channel is otherwise closed) so self.request_send.send(..) fails.
Assert the method returns Err (and ideally that the error message includes the "send fail:" prefix).
Also assert what happens to active_policy_list in this case (it’s currently inserted before the send). If “partial commit” is intentional, the test should document and enforce it; if not, we should adjust the code accordingly.

Batch semantics / partial commit behavior

Add a test that submits multiple policies in one call and forces a failure mid-way (e.g., Delete [1, 999, 2] where 999 is non-existing id).
Verify and document the expected contract: do we allow partial processing (some policies inserted/sent before failure), or do we want all-or-nothing behavior?
Whatever we decide, please encode it in a regression test so future changes don’t silently alter the semantics.

sampling_policy_list() is not used directly by the crusher, but is instead invoked by the manager.
As a result, even if a send failure occurs, the crusher has no way to observe or be aware of that failure.
In this context, adding tests that assume or validate send-failure behavior from the crusher’s perspective does not seem appropriate.

JonghoKim-jj · 2026-01-23T01:12:10Z

@octoaide, I'm reviewing PR. After I finish reviewing, repository maintainer will start.

JonghoKim-jj · 2026-01-23T01:58:02Z

@pott-cho
So far, three crates have been mentioned.

review-protocol crate: A library crate. Trait/Interface Definer. It defines the contract by providing the trait review_protocol::request::Handler.
crusher crate: A binary crate. Implementer. It provides an implementation of impl review_protocol::request::Handler for Client.
manager: A binary crate that interacts with crusher over the network.

There seem to be two points where the roles of the crates may be getting mixed up.

First, the sampling_policy_list() is invoked by crusher, even though the invocation is indirect.

crusher calls review_protocol::request::handle() from handle_incoming().

crusher/src/request.rs

Line 81 in 9f1fb86

review_protocol::request::handle(self, &mut send, &mut recv).await?;
sampling_policy_list() is called inside review_protocol::request::handle().
https://github.com/petabi/review-protocol/blob/2598d5b9cf7687e8e39a091fd66da65351432037/src/request.rs#L184

Since sampling_policy_list() is a trait method and its implementation is provided by crusher::request::Client, the actual execution of this method happens within the crusher process.
From the perspective of Rust’s execution and dispatch model, this method is invoked by crusher.

Another important point is that crusher is a binary crate.
Both struct Client and the implementation of impl review_protocol::request::Handler for Client are defined inside crusher.
As a result, no other crate can directly call functions implemented inside the binary crate crusher.

In other words, under Rust’s crate and linking model, manager cannot directly call sampling_policy_list() implemented in crusher at the Rust code level.
The manager merely triggers behavior via network requests; it is not a Rust-level caller of the implementation.

Second, the responsibility for testing lies with the implementer, crusher.

The responsibility for unit testing a function always belongs to the crate that implements that function.
Even when the implementer is a library crate and another consumer crate uses it, the implementer is still responsible for ensuring the correctness of its own implementation through unit tests.

In this case, however, the responsibility of crusher goes beyond unit testing.

crusher is a binary crate that not only implements but also consumes its own implementation at runtime.
There is no other Rust crate that consumes the implementation of sampling_policy_list() as a library dependency.

Structurally:

review-protocol defines the trait (contract).
crusher implements the contract and executes it within its own process.
manager interacts with crusher only through the network and does not consume the implementation as a Rust crate.

Therefore, crusher simultaneously acts as the implementer, the runtime owner, and the primary consumer of the implementation.

In such a setup, it is natural and appropriate that crusher is responsible not only for unit tests, but also for integration tests that verify the actual execution path
(e.g. handle_incoming() → review_protocol::request::handle() → sampling_policy_list() works correctly as a whole.)

Tests performed by manager are closer to end-to-end or system tests and cannot replace integration tests that validate the internal behavior and correctness of crusher.

pott-cho · 2026-01-26T01:04:50Z

@JonghoKim-jj
From what you’ve described, I understand that this test is not primarily intended to “reproduce and observe an actual send-failure scenario,” but rather to explicitly lock down the current behavior (contract/semantics) that active_policy_list is not rolled back even if a send failure occurs.

That said, this seems somewhat different from how I initially understood the intent of the test, and I’m not yet fully clear on which specific scenario you want to guarantee. If you could express the expected behavior concretely in the test code, it would help me understand the intent and the contract more accurately.

Could you please add the test code? Thanks for the thorough review.

JonghoKim-jj · 2026-01-27T05:25:42Z

@pott-cho

I've pushed 2 commits.

The first commit just refactors existing tests (generated by octoaide).
The second commit added edge test cases.

Could you review the commits?

Also, in the second commit, I’d like to propose using an ignored test for the sampling_policy_list() send-failure case, and clarify the reasoning more explicitly this time.

Concretely, the idea is:

Add a test that documents one candidate behavior for the send-failure case.
Mark it with #[ignore] to indicate that the semantics are not finalized yet.
Run it only via cargo test -- --ignored, so it doesn’t affect CI or default local runs.
Once we agree on the intended behavior, we can remove #[ignore] and make it part of the normal regression suite (and adjust the implementation if needed).
The idea of explicitly triggering it by dropping the receiver:
```
drop(rx);
```
to force send() to fail is not something most people will naturally think of when revisiting this code later.

Just to make the behavior concrete, I’ve attached two screenshots from my local run.

When running cargo test request, the output looks like the first screenshot.
As expected, tests marked with #[ignore] are listed but not executed.
When running cargo test request -- --ignored, the output looks like the second screenshot.
In this case, only the ignored tests are executed, which makes it easy to run and inspect them explicitly without affecting the default test suite or CI.

I’m sharing this mainly to show that ignored tests are still first-class tests.
They’re visible in normal runs and can be exercised intentionally when needed, rather than being hidden or forgotten.

- Import `review_protocol::request::Handler` to simplify trait method invocations - Replace `unwrap()` with `expect()` in core test logic to improve error context - Update `expect()` message to follow our conventions (ex) Describe the expected outcome like "Success..." - Make implicit assumptions explicit by adding assertions - Rename test functions

- An IGNORED TEST for the send-failure case in sampling_policy_list(). The expected behavior is currently unspecified and tracked separately - A test to ensure non-existent ID in batch delete requests are ignored (e.g. [1, 2, 3, 999, 4, 5]) - A test to verify delete_policy succeeds after the receiver is dropped

pott-cho · 2026-01-28T02:14:42Z

@JonghoKim-jj
I believe it is better to avoid adding tests for behavior whose semantics have not been finalized yet.
Currently, there are quite a few areas in crusher where the behavior is not clearly defined, so I think it is preferable to add tests only for parts of the code where the expected behavior is explicitly clear. The reasons are as follows.

Tests usually serve as long-lived contracts. Introducing tests before the specification is clearly defined can increase maintenance costs later and make necessary changes unnecessarily difficult.

In particular, when someone other than Leo revisits this code in the future, ignored or speculative tests may require them to trace why the test exists, what discussions led to its addition, and whether it is still relevant. This can interrupt the development flow, cause unnecessary hesitation, and ultimately slow down iteration.

Therefore, until the intended behavior is clearly agreed upon and documented in the specification, I think it is more appropriate not to introduce a test for this case at this stage. Once the semantics are clarified, we can confidently add a proper regression test that reflects the agreed-upon behavior.

JonghoKim-jj · 2026-01-28T02:33:32Z

@pott-cho Thanks for the comment.

I will ask about behavior, and then I will remove a test whose behavior is unclear.

JonghoKim-jj · 2026-01-28T02:39:29Z

@kimhanbeom I'm not sure how active_policy_list should be handled if 'send' fails while running sampling_policy_list().
Can you clarify this for me?
How about not adding the policy to active_policy_list if the send fails?
