From f3f328df3d597649733b5b92c0fd4f38cb28ae00 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: nesquena-hermes Date: Sat, 4 Jul 2026 18:32:43 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] fix(tests): eliminate the two chronic full-suite flakes (nous_picker + service_tier) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Both fail ONLY in the full suite, not in isolation — they've been noise on every release gate. Root-caused and fixed at the source (no retries/skips): 1. test_issue1567 nous_picker (test_hermes_cli_unavailable_falls_back_to_static_4): NOT actually a flake — a real assertion that silently broke as the curated list grew. It asserted every curated @nous: id (now 28) appears in the picker group's visible 'models', but when the list exceeds _NOUS_FEATURED_THRESHOLD (25) the dropdown intentionally shows only the featured subset and stashes the rest under 'extra_models'. Fixed to assert the invariant that matters ('no curated entry is DROPPED') against the visible+extra_models union, so it tracks the real behavior instead of drifting to failure every time the catalog grows. 2. test_issue4536 service_tier (test_main_service_tier_roundtrip_via_auxiliary_endpoint): Classic test-isolation leak. get_auxiliary_models() reads the module-global config.cfg after reload_config(); if an EARLIER full-suite test rebinds config.cfg via monkeypatch and leaves 'cfg is not _cfg_cache', _cfg_has_in_memory_overrides() stays True and get_auxiliary_models() reads that stale dict instead of the freshly-reloaded temp config. Added an autouse fixture that re-aliases cfg to _cfg_cache and clears the override fingerprint before AND after each test in the class. PROVEN: reproduced the failure deterministically with a leak-probe test, confirmed the fixture neutralizes it (fixture off = FAIL, fixture on = PASS). --- ...e1567_nous_picker_capacity_and_symmetry.py | 20 +++++++++---- tests/test_issue4536_service_tier.py | 28 +++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 43 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/tests/test_issue1567_nous_picker_capacity_and_symmetry.py b/tests/test_issue1567_nous_picker_capacity_and_symmetry.py index 1270f804..674c5957 100644 --- a/tests/test_issue1567_nous_picker_capacity_and_symmetry.py +++ b/tests/test_issue1567_nous_picker_capacity_and_symmetry.py @@ -471,17 +471,27 @@ class TestNousLiveFetchEmpty: "the curated static fallback so the picker isn't empty in " "test envs that lack the agent package." ) - # The original curated 4 entries must all be present. - nous_ids = {m["id"] for m in nous_groups[0]["models"]} + # Every curated @nous: entry must survive the static fallback — but + # when the curated list exceeds _NOUS_FEATURED_THRESHOLD (>25) the + # picker dropdown intentionally shows only the featured subset and + # stashes the rest under "extra_models" (for /model autocomplete). + # The invariant is "no curated entry is DROPPED", so check the full + # returned set (visible models + extra_models), not just the visible + # dropdown slice (which drifts to failure as the curated list grows + # past the threshold — the root cause of the pre-fix flake). + _nous_group = nous_groups[0] + nous_ids = {m["id"] for m in _nous_group.get("models", [])} + nous_ids |= {m["id"] for m in _nous_group.get("extra_models", [])} _curated_nous_ids = { m["id"] for m in config._PROVIDER_MODELS.get("nous", []) if m["id"].startswith("@nous:") } assert _curated_nous_ids.issubset(nous_ids), ( - f"Static fallback is missing curated @nous: entries.

Root cause: the module-global _yaml_file_cache is keyed on (str(config_path), st_mtime_ns, st_size); pytest reuses tmp_path base dirs across the session, so a prior lmstudio test's config.yaml shares both the path string AND (mtime_ns,size) with this test's tiny file (same coarse mtime tick) → stale cache hit serves the wrong provider's config. The autouse fixture now ALSO clears _yaml_file_cache (proven: 2->0), in addition to the cfg/_cfg_fingerprint reset for the get_auxiliary_models read path.

A prior lmstudio test leaves cfg={model:{provider:lmstudio,base_url:1234}} in _cfg_cache; resolve_model_provider then returns lmstudio's provider+base_url, which set_hermes_default_model persists to the test's OWN config file -> the on-disk assertion sees 'provider: lmstudio' instead of the written 'provider: openai'. The autouse fixture now _cfg_cache.CLEAR()s its CONTENTS (not just re-aliases cfg), so resolve_model_provider reads an empty model cfg and can't inject a stale provider/base_url. Deterministically proven: reproduced the exact lmstudio leak with a probe test (fixture on=PASS; _cfg_cache.clear() line removed=the exact full-suite failure reproduces).
