feat(tck): tag selection and generic steps for extension scenarios - #1952
Merged
Merged
Conversation
@TckIncludeTags on a harness runs only the extension scenarios carrying one of its tags, so a scenario tagged for several modes runs in each. @TckExcludeTags skips extension scenarios carrying one of its tags. Declarations on superclasses add up. Canonical scenarios are exempt, and capability tags are refused at suite start and in the scenario gate, so capabilities() alone gates them.

Every scenario in the self-test fixture carried a tag, so nothing distinguished the two readings of TckIncludeTags: a filter that skips whatever does not carry an included tag, or a hint that spares a scenario carrying no selector at all. The implementation is the first; the fixture could not tell. Adds an untagged extension scenario and asserts it does not run while an include is set, so the next reader does not have to infer the rule from Collections.disjoint. The two existing abort counts move with it. This matters for the flagd adoption in #1951: it tags resolver-specific scenarios @rpc or @In-Process and expects untagged ones to run in both, which an include cannot express. Resolver selection wants @TckExcludeTags("@In-Process") and @TckExcludeTags("@rpc") instead. 263 tests, 0 failures. Signed-off-by: Simon Schrottner <simon.schrottner@flagsmith.com>
A scenario this suite deselected is not a capability the provider withheld. Gating capabilities first filed every deselected extension scenario in the conformance skip report as a withheld capability, which overstates what the provider cannot do -- the worse error in a document read away from this repository. The Go binding orders it the other way round for that reason; this matches it. The two hard checks have to stay in front of both gates, or deselecting a scenario could mask a reserved tag on it: an adopter cannot exclude a capability tag, but could exclude some other tag on the same scenario and silence the reservation. They are now Capability.requireValidVocabulary, package-private because AdopterTags shares the package, so nothing new is public and requireDeclared behaves exactly as before. requireKnownVocabulary never needed the guard -- it applies to canonical scenarios only, and AdopterTags exempts those. Order is now vocabulary, selection, capability skip. The new test is mutation-checked: removing the vocabulary call makes it fail. 264 tests, 0 failures.

…nsions The tag annotations these suites select with live on #1952, which is based on main, while this branch is based on the flagd adoption -- so neither contains the other and this branch could not compile. Merged rather than rebased: six of this branch's commits are merges of its own topic branches, and a rebase would flatten them.

Four steps in flagd's extension glue were about nothing flagd-specific.
Two never touched a backend at all, and two called normative control-API
operations through a vendor-named step:
the backend serves the {string} configuration POST /start?config=
the connection is lost for {int}s POST /restart?seconds=
a context with the following keys: the evaluation context
the {} event handler should not have been ... the recorded events
BackendControl gains serveConfiguration and disconnectFor as optional
operations beside disconnect and reconnect, because a control serving one
in-process flag set has no second configuration to offer.
disconnectFor is specified where the control API deliberately is not: POST
/restart may answer when the backend goes down or when it is back, so the
step guarantees only that the outage has begun and a scenario asserts the
recovery through events or client state.
The negative event step gets the window its positive twin always had. At an
instant, an event that never fires and one that fires a moment later are the
same observation; EventStepsTest pins the difference, and without the window
a late event passes.
TckValues learns Long and StringList, which the table form needs, and gains
convertContextEntry: there an Integer too wide for 32 bits widens rather than
failing. A flag's default is bounded by the accessor that reads it back and
stays strict, but nothing reads a context entry back, and a targeting operator
may hash 4294967295 -- which flagd's fractional scenarios do.

… outage Two findings from review, both in HttpBackendControl. prepareScenario cleared scenarioConfiguration before the /start that restores this suite's configuration, so a /start that failed left the next scenario on /reset -- which restores flag state but not which configuration is served. It is cleared once the start succeeds now, and the restoration is retried otherwise. disconnectFor sent /restart with the ordinary 30s request timeout, while the step's own contract says the control API may answer only once the backend is back. A 60-second outage against a blocking implementation would fail the request, and the scenario, for behaviour the specification permits; the budget is the outage plus the ordinary timeout. Signed-off-by: Simon Schrottner <simon.schrottner@flagsmith.com>
…etingKey Three more findings from review, and the checkstyle name that failed the build. disconnectFor marked the backend up as soon as /restart answered, but an implementation that answers at the start of the outage leaves it down -- so the next scenario's /reset reached nothing. The outage's end is recorded and waited out before the next scenario is prepared; a blocking control API has already spent that time and the wait finds nothing left. A positive event await drained the queue through its match, discarding records of other kinds on the way. An error event arriving before an awaited change event was therefore gone, and "the error event handler should not have been executed" passed because the evidence had been thrown away. The await now takes its own record and leaves the rest. The context table carried the old targeting key over a row that set one, so the evaluation used the wrong key. The map asMap() returns already holds it, which ContextStepsTest pins from both sides: a row may set it, and one set earlier survives a table that does not mention it. checkstyle rejects a method whose second character is uppercase, so aContextWithTheFollowingKeys is contextWithTheFollowingKeys -- the name the other context steps already use.

Reverts the client-side wait and the per-call timeout widening from the two commits before this one. Both moved the outage's timing into the control client, which is what this endpoint exists to avoid: an HTTP client already knows how to wait for a response, while a timer has to be written once per binding. The specification is explicit that the TCK does not rely on the /restart response being delayed and awaits provider events instead, so the control just treats the backend as down afterwards. The next scenario then starts it rather than resetting it, which is correct whether the outage is over or not and needs no clock. An outage is seconds, comfortably inside the 30s request timeout every call already shares; the javadoc says so rather than widening it.

…rovider
Two steps go, and neither was pulling its weight.
`the connection is lost for {int}s` is an antipattern: a scenario does not care
how long the backend was away, it cares that the provider went stale, then
errored, then came back ready. Awaiting those events *is* the wait, and it is the
wait the provider's own retry timing decides -- so the chains now read
disconnect, stale, error, restore, ready, with no clock in them. The
specification already said no shipped scenario reaches `/restart`; now nothing in
the TCK does either, and `disconnectFor` goes with the step.
`the backend serves the {string} configuration` becomes
`a {} provider with {string} configuration`. The ordering was the whole
difficulty: the backend had to be serving that configuration before the provider
connected, and a separate `Given` could be written after `a stable provider` and
quietly connect to the wrong flags. Said on the provider step, it cannot be
ordered wrongly.
`reconnect()` now starts the configuration in effect rather than the suite's,
because losing the connection is not how a scenario changes what is served --
which matters now that a scenario restores the connection itself.

"the {} event handler should not have been executed" is the same antipattern as
the timed outage, one layer up: an absence can only be asserted over some
stretch of time, so the step either slows every run down by waiting or passes
because nothing has arrived yet. Both forms go.
What the scenarios using it actually mean is an order -- no error *before* the
provider came back ready -- so that is the step:
the {} event handler should have been executed with no {} event before it
It needs no clock. The flagd adoption had written it locally for exactly this
reason, and its javadoc said why: the TCK's await drained the records ahead of
its match, so an error recorded before an awaited ready was already gone and the
negative step passed vacuously. The await keeps those records now, which is what
makes the question answerable here.
Signed-off-by: Simon Schrottner <simon.schrottner@flagsmith.com>
Flag metadata is specification behaviour, and the specification already has the wording for it: `the resolved metadata should contain`, with a `key | metadata_type | value` table, and `the resolved metadata is empty`. Those are copied verbatim from assets/gherkin/metadata.feature, so an adoption that ports metadata scenarios should find them here rather than write them again -- the flagd adoption had written exactly these two, down to the column names. The canonical suite still only asks a provider for its own name, so nothing here exercises the steps yet; FlagMetadataStepsTest does, each case written so the opposite implementation fails it. Also joins an assertion and drops a blank line left by the timed outage's removal, both of which spotless rejected. Signed-off-by: Simon Schrottner <simon.schrottner@flagsmith.com>

Two findings from review on the metadata assertions, both of which made the step pass or fail for the wrong reason. ImmutableMetadata's getters are exact. getDouble answers null for a value stored through addFloat, and getInteger null for one stored as a long, so a provider whose value was right and whose box was not failed the assertion. The entry is read from the map and compared by the type the row declares: whole numbers as longs, so a provider carrying more than 32 bits of metadata is not refused, and Float within a tolerance, because a 32-bit float widened to a double is not the double the feature file's decimal parses to -- 0.1f is 0.10000000149011612 while the table says 0.1. The other direction: a row whose value is "null" passed against a provider that omitted the entry entirely, because the conversion yields null and so does a lookup of a key nobody set. The key has to be there before its value is worth comparing. Four tests, each written so the previous implementation fails it. Signed-off-by: Simon Schrottner <simon.schrottner@flagsmith.com>

Two things extension scenarios needed from the TCK, both found by writing the flagd adoption against it.
Tag selection
@TckIncludeTagson a harness class runs only the extension scenarios carrying one of its tags, so a scenario tagged for several modes runs in each.@TckExcludeTagsskips extension scenarios carrying one of its tags, even an included one. Declarations on superclasses add up.Canonical scenarios are exempt, and capability tags are refused at suite start and in the scenario gate, so
capabilities()alone gates them. Selection is decided before the capability declaration: a scenario an adoption deselected is not a capability the provider withheld, and gating the declaration first reports it as one.The steps an adoption was copying
