action #105759
closedflaky code coverage in os-autoinst consoles/virtio_terminal.pm
Description
Observation¶
See https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst/pull/1939#issuecomment-1023298597
https://app.codecov.io/gh/os-autoinst/os-autoinst/compare/1939/changes shows that the method set_pipe_sz would not be covered anymore:
sub set_pipe_sz ($self, $fd, $newsize) {
no autodie;
return fcntl($fd, F_SETPIPE_SZ(), int($newsize)); # uncoverable statement
as the return line already has "uncoverable statement" likely we should just add more such statements so that the complete function is excluded
Acceptance criteria¶
- AC1: Reported code coverage is stable

Looks like the test doesn't quite work right, i'll need to find a more portable way to deal with pipe size.

Somehow this problem is back:
https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst/pull/1961
https://app.codecov.io/gh/os-autoinst/os-autoinst/compare/1961/changes complains about lost coverage for those lines:
112 sub set_pipe_sz ($self, $fd, $newsize) {
113 no autodie;
114 return fcntl($fd, F_SETPIPE_SZ(), int($newsize));
115 }

Since nobody else has picked this up yet i guess i'll take another look.

These links are not helpful if you re-run the tests until the problem does not show up anymore.

I know, that's why I quoted the lines that codecov was complaining about.
I will attach a screenshot next time.

I digged into recent reports and found one with the same coverage drop:

Only explanation for the coverage being flaky i can think of would be an unexpectedly small max pipe size value. So i've made a PR to fix that case, and a test that should give more details in case the fix doesn't work. https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst/pull/1991

Unfortunately the above didn't really help as https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst/pull/2006#issuecomment-1081654863= just showed.

I'm starting to think that maybe something might be off with the coverage metrics and it's not a race condition. Because if i look at the current coverage of virtio_terminal.pm and compare that to the changes from your PR, the only difference is that sub set_pipe_sz is no longer called. But the line that actually calls set_pipe_sz is still covered. Something does not add up here.

Maybe someone else should give this ticket a try, fresh eyes might help.

Maybe it helps to simply invoke this function explicitly: https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst/pull/2008

Good idea. That didn't work previously because this line also had flaky coverage. But maybe that's fixed by the other changes.

I cannot really make sense of the locally generated coverage report so I'd just wait a while to see whether the problem shows up again in the CI env.
Updated by okurz about 2 years ago
mkittler and me worked on this together. We have fixed the problems mkittler had generating the coverage locally which is a known upstream issue https://github.com/pjcj/Devel--Cover/issues/292 . If you also run into warnings, especially with openSUSE Tumbleweed with perl 5.34 you can apply the hotfix referenced in the github issue. And then we improved the situation, see https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst/pull/2013 and https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst/pull/2014 and https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst/pull/2015
I suggest to check the stability of coverage now locally with multiple runs.

Tested it locally with for i in {00..50}; do echo "run $i" && rm -rf cover_db/ && cover -coverage stmt -test -make 'prove -I. --timer -v t/10-virtio_terminal.t; echo $?' | grep 'consoles/virtio_terminal.pm 100.0 100.0' || break ; done and it went though all iterations. This should be good enough to consider the ticket resolved.
I've also created https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst/pull/2016 for a CI check.
