web/tests/client-config-env.test.ts hung web test shard 1/4 until the 10-minute job timeout on every run of #14876, only on Blacksmith (the same shard passes in about 20 s in a debug workflow on the same runner type and on Linux with Bun 1.3.14).

A watchdog inside the failing job showed the cause: the child had already exited (zombie, never reaped) while the Bun test process spun its main thread at 100% CPU inside spawnSync. A spawnSync timeout never fired, so it is Bun's synchronous wait loop, not the child.

This switches the two helpers to async child_process.spawn (the tests become async), which waits through the event loop. Same 18 tests and assertions; passes locally and on #14876's CI.

Summary by cubic

Switches the child-process helpers in web/tests/client-config-env.test.ts from synchronous spawnSync to async spawn, fixing a hang where Bun 1.3's sync wait never observed the child's exit and spun the test process at 100% CPU until the job timed out on Blacksmith runners. The 18 tests now await the spawned child through the event loop; assertions are unchanged. A 30-second timeout is set on each child.

Written for commit 849b9f2. Summary will update on new commits.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Tests
    • Environment validation checks now run asynchronously, with clearer handling for process errors and timeouts.
    • The tested configurations and validation expectations remain unchanged; no user-facing behavior changes.

On Blacksmith, Bun 1.3's spawnSync in client-config-env.test.ts left the
child a zombie and spun the test process at 100% CPU until the 10-minute
job timeout. A watchdog dump on #14876 showed the main thread running, the
child exited, and no reap. The async child_process.spawn waits through the
event loop.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The environment-validation tests now use asynchronous subprocess checks. A shared runner collects child-process output, handles spawn errors, and applies a 30-second timeout. The tested environment configurations and assertions remain unchanged.

Changes

Environment validation tests

Layer / File(s) Summary
Asynchronous subprocess runner
web/tests/client-config-env.test.ts
A shared runner uses spawn to start checks, collect UTF-8 output, and handle timeout, spawn errors, and child close events. The environment import and URL inspection helpers now return promises.
Awaited environment checks
web/tests/client-config-env.test.ts
The environment and URL validation tests await the asynchronous helpers. Their tested configurations and assertions remain unchanged.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 849b9

Two environment-validation tests could pass after a child terminates unexpectedly rather than rejects the invalid URL. This is a bounded test-confidence gap, not an established production failure.
