chore: run test-go-pg on macOS and Windows in regular CI #17853

hugodutka · 2025-05-15T13:13:30Z

This PR starts running test-go-pg on macOS and Windows in regular CI. Previously this suite was only run in the nightly gauntlet for 2 reasons:

it was flaky
it was slow (took 17 minutes)

We've since stabilized the flakiness by switching to depot runners, using ram disks, optimizing the number of tests run in parallel, and automatically re-running failing tests. We've also brought down the time to run the suite to 9 minutes. Additionally, this PR allows test-go-pg to use cache from previous runs, which speeds it up further. The cache is only used on PRs, main will still run tests without it.

This PR also:

removes the nightly gauntlet since all tests now run in regular CI
removes the test-cli job for the same reason
removes the setup-imdisk action which is now fully replaced by coder/setup-ramdisk-action
makes 2 minor changes which could be separate PRs, but I rolled them into this because they were helpful when iterating on it:
- replace the if: always() condition on the gen job with a if: ${{ !cancelled() }} to allow the job to be cancelled. Previously the job would run to completion even if the entire workflow was cancelled. See the GitHub docs for more details.
- disable the recently added TestReinitializeAgent since it does not pass on Windows with Postgres. There's an open issue to fix it: flake: TestReinitializeAgent internal#642

This PR will:

unblock Remove the in-memory database #15109
alleviate flake: ImDisk on Windows CLI internal#647

I tested caching by temporarily enabling cache upload on this PR: here's a run showing cache being used.

I don't mind using the script here, but you can accomplish the same with bash by echoing to GITHUB_ENV and GITHUB_OUTPUT: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/writing-workflows/choosing-what-your-workflow-does/workflow-commands-for-github-actions

I chose to use the script to handle setting multi-line env variables. With bash, you have to be very careful with whitespace and indentation. It's error-prone.

Previously we were only doing this on Windows, should we do the same here?

This step is now used to standardize the Go cache location on disk so the "download cache step" knows where to put it. Without it, it's somewhat complicated to figure out the paths so it works cross-OS and if Go isn't installed.

This line is an abomination lmfao

the skip has already been merged separately: #17968, so I'm removing it from this PR

I feel like it would be better if we changed the test to use system terraform if it's a suitable version, then we can just install it before starting the test.

Do you mean we should use the terraform download function that's built into Coder?
