Custom patterns can be specified for tests that spawn other process types.

|
||||
## Process Pattern Explanations
|
||||
|
||||
### `pdftract mcp` Pattern (MCP Server Subprocess)
|
||||
|
||||
**What it is:** The Model Context Protocol (MCP) server mode of pdftract, spawned as a subprocess by tests that verify MCP integration.
|
||||
|
||||
**Typical spawn pattern:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pdftract mcp --stdio
|
||||
# or
|
||||
pdftract mcp --bind 127.0.0.1:8080
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Why it orphaned:** MCP servers are long-lived processes designed to handle multiple requests. Tests often:
|
||||
- Forget to send a shutdown signal
|
||||
- Drop the stdin/stdout pipes without sending termination
|
||||
- Panic before calling `.kill()` on the child
|
||||
- Rely on implicit cleanup when the test exits (unreliable)
|
||||
|
||||
**Detection example:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ ./scripts/check-orphaned-processes.sh --pattern "pdftract mcp" --verbose
|
||||
Checking for processes matching: pdftract mcp
|
||||
✓ No orphaned pdftract mcp processes found
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**If orphaned:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ ./scripts/check-orphaned-processes.sh --pattern "pdftract mcp" --verbose
|
||||
Checking for processes matching: pdftract mcp
|
||||
⚠ Found 1 orphaned process:
|
||||
PID 12345: pdftract mcp --stdio
|
||||
Age: 45 seconds
|
||||
Parent PPID: 1 (orphaned - parent died)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Manual cleanup:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Find and inspect
|
||||
pgrep -af "pdftract mcp"
|
||||
# 12345 pdftract mcp --stdio
|
||||
|
||||
# Kill gracefully if possible
|
||||
kill 12345
|
||||
# Wait 1 second and force if still running
|
||||
sleep 1
|
||||
kill -9 12345 2>/dev/null || true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### `TH-0` Pattern (Test Harness Process - Hyphen Variant)
|
||||
|
||||
**What it is:** A test harness process with a hyphen in the name. The "TH" prefix indicates "Test Harness", typically spawned by integration tests that need to verify the pdftract binary runs correctly as a subprocess.
|
||||
|
||||
**Typical spawn pattern:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pdftract extract test.pdf --json -
|
||||
# or
|
||||
cargo run --bin pdftract -- extract test.pdf
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**When it appears:** Tests that use `Command::new()` to spawn pdftract as a subprocess and name the test with a `TH-` prefix pattern, or test harness scripts that use hyphenated naming.
|
||||
|
||||
**Why it orphaned:**
|
||||
- Test assertion fails before cleanup
|
||||
- Command spawned with Stdio::piped() but pipes never drained
|
||||
- Parent test killed by timeout but subprocess left running
|
||||
- `wait()` call blocked indefinitely
|
||||
|
||||
**Detection example:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ ./scripts/check-orphaned-processes.sh --pattern "TH-0" --verbose
|
||||
Checking for processes matching: TH-0
|
||||
✓ No orphaned TH-0 processes found
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**If orphaned:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ ./scripts/check-orphaned-processes.sh --pattern "TH-0" --verbose
|
||||
Checking for processes matching: TH-0
|
||||
⚠ Found 2 orphaned processes:
|
||||
PID 12346: pdftract extract tests/fixtures/vector/test.pdf --json -
|
||||
PID 12347: pdftract mcp --stdio --bind 127.0.0.1:0
|
||||
Total age: 2 minutes 15 seconds
|
||||
Parent PPID: 1 (tests died but children survived)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Manual cleanup:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# List all matching
|
||||
pgrep -af "TH-0"
|
||||
# 12346 pdftract extract tests/fixtures/vector/test.pdf --json -
|
||||
# 12347 pdftract mcp --stdio --bind 127.0.0.1:0
|
||||
|
||||
# Kill all matching
|
||||
pkill -f "TH-0"
|
||||
# Verify
|
||||
pgrep -af "TH-0" || echo "All cleaned up"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### `TH_0` Pattern (Test Harness Process - Underscore Variant)
|
||||
|
||||
**What it is:** A test harness process with an underscore in the name. Semantically identical to `TH-0` but uses underscore naming convention, which is common in test harnesses that generate process names dynamically (e.g., `TH_01`, `TH_02`, etc.).
|
||||
|
||||
**Typical spawn pattern:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Generated by test harness scripts
|
||||
TH_0 --test-case test_ipv4_loopback --fixture bomb-10k-2g.pdf
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**When it appears:** Integration tests that use a separate test harness binary or script, particularly in fuzz testing or property-based testing where the harness is named with underscores for readability.
|
||||
|
||||
**Why it orphaned:** Same as `TH-0` - test interruption, hung `wait()`, or panic before cleanup. Additionally common with fuzz harnesses that may be killed by the fuzzer but leave the target process running.
|
||||
|
||||
**Detection example (clean):**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ ./scripts/check-orphaned-processes.sh --pattern "TH_0" --verbose
|
||||
Checking for processes matching: TH_0
|
||||
✓ No orphaned TH_0 processes found
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**If orphaned (fuzz scenario):**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ ./scripts/check-orphaned-processes.sh --pattern "TH_0" --verbose
|
||||
Checking for processes matching: TH_0
|
||||
⚠ Found 5 orphaned processes:
|
||||
PID 12350: TH_0 --fuzz-target lexer --input crash-12345.bin
|
||||
PID 12351: TH_0 --fuzz-target lexer --input crash-12346.bin
|
||||
PID 12352: TH_0 --fuzz-target xref --input crash-12347.bin
|
||||
PID 12353: TH_0 --fuzz-target lexer --input crash-12348.bin
|
||||
PID 12354: TH_0 --fuzz-target streams --input crash-12349.bin
|
||||
Total age: 15 minutes (stale from previous fuzz run)
|
||||
Parent PPID: 1 (fuzzer processes died, targets survived)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Manual cleanup (bulk):**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Kill all TH_0 processes at once
|
||||
pkill -9 -f "TH_0"
|
||||
# Verify
|
||||
./scripts/check-orphaned-processes.sh --pattern "TH_0"
|
||||
✓ No orphaned TH_0 processes found
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Manual Verification Walkthrough
|
||||
|
||||
### Scenario 1: After a Test Run
|
||||
|
||||
**Step-by-step verification after running tests:**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1. Run your tests
|
||||
cargo nextest run --test-filter mcp
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Immediately check for orphans
|
||||
./scripts/check-orphaned-processes.sh
|
||||
|
||||
# Expected output (clean):
|
||||
# ✓ No orphaned processes found
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. If orphans exist, see details
|
||||
./scripts/check-orphaned-processes.sh --verbose
|
||||
|
||||
# Example output (orphaned):
|
||||
# ⚠ Found 2 orphaned processes:
|
||||
# PID 12360: pdftract mcp --stdio
|
||||
# PID 12361: TH-0 test_ipv4_loopback
|
||||
#
|
||||
# Total: 2 processes
|
||||
|
||||
# 4. Kill them and verify
|
||||
./scripts/check-orphaned-processes.sh --kill
|
||||
# Expected output:
|
||||
# Killed 2 orphaned processes
|
||||
|
||||
# 5. Verify cleanup
|
||||
./scripts/check-orphaned-processes.sh
|
||||
# Expected output:
|
||||
# ✓ No orphaned processes found
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Scenario 2: Before Starting a Test Run
|
||||
|
||||
**Pre-flight check to ensure clean state:**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1. Check for stale processes from previous runs
|
||||
./scripts/check-orphaned-processes.sh --json
|
||||
|
||||
# Expected JSON output (clean):
|
||||
# {
|
||||
# "status": "clean",
|
||||
# "orphaned_processes": [],
|
||||
# "count": 0
|
||||
# }
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. If not clean, kill first
|
||||
if ! ./scripts/check-orphaned-processes.sh; then
|
||||
echo "Cleaning up before test run..."
|
||||
./scripts/check-orphaned-processes.sh --kill
|
||||
fi
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. Now run tests with confidence
|
||||
cargo nextest run
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Scenario 3: Investigating a Leaking Test
|
||||
|
||||
**Find which test is leaving orphans:**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1. Start with clean slate
|
||||
./scripts/check-orphaned-processes.sh --kill
|
||||
./scripts/check-orphaned-processes.sh
|
||||
# ✓ No orphaned processes found
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Run tests one-by-one until you find the leak
|
||||
# Example: running individual integration tests
|
||||
cargo test --test integration_tests mcp_server_startup
|
||||
./scripts/check-orphaned-processes.sh --verbose
|
||||
# ✓ No orphaned processes found
|
||||
|
||||
cargo test --test integration_tests mcp_server_timeout
|
||||
./scripts/check-orphaned-processes.sh --verbose
|
||||
# ⚠ Found 1 orphaned process:
|
||||
# PID 12370: pdftract mcp --stdio
|
||||
#
|
||||
# FOUND IT: mcp_server_timeout test leaves orphans
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. Inspect the test's cleanup code
|
||||
# Look for missing ProcessGuard, bare wait(), or panic before cleanup
|
||||
|
||||
# 4. Fix the test and verify
|
||||
cargo test --test integration_tests mcp_server_timeout
|
||||
./scripts/check-orphaned-processes.sh
|
||||
# ✓ No orphaned processes found
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Scenario 4: CI Post-Test Verification
|
||||
|
||||
**Automated verification in CI:**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
#!/usr/bin/env bash
|
||||
# .ci/scripts/post-test-check.sh
|
||||
|
||||
set -euo pipefail
|
||||
|
||||
echo "=== Post-test orphaned process verification ==="
|
||||
|
||||
# Run verification
|
||||
RESULT=$(./scripts/check-orphaned-processes.sh --json 2>&1)
|
||||
EXIT_CODE=$?
|
||||
|
||||
if [ $EXIT_CODE -eq 0 ]; then
|
||||
echo "✓ Clean: No orphaned processes detected"
|
||||
echo "$RESULT" | jq .
|
||||
exit 0
|
||||
elif [ $EXIT_CODE -eq 1 ]; then
|
||||
echo "✗ FAIL: Orphaned processes found!"
|
||||
echo "$RESULT" | jq .
|
||||
echo ""
|
||||
echo "Details:"
|
||||
./scripts/check-orphaned-processes.sh --verbose
|
||||
echo ""
|
||||
echo "Attempting cleanup..."
|
||||
./scripts/check-orphaned-processes.sh --kill
|
||||
exit 1
|
||||
else
|
||||
echo "✗ ERROR: Verification script failed"
|
||||
echo "$RESULT"
|
||||
exit 2
|
||||
fi
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Orphan Scenarios
|
||||
|
||||
### Scenario 1: Test Timeout Leaves Children Alive
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptom:** Test suite runs with `cargo nextest run` or `timeout`, test exceeds time limit, test runner killed but spawned processes survive.
|
||||
|
||||
**Example:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Test spawns a server
|
||||
let server = Command::new("pdftract")
|
||||
.arg("mcp")
|
||||
.arg("--stdio")
|
||||
.spawn()?;
|
||||
|
||||
# Test takes too long, cargo nextest kills it
|
||||
# Server process continues running
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Verification:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ ./scripts/check-orphaned-processes.sh --pattern "pdftract mcp" --verbose
|
||||
⚠ Found 1 orphaned process:
|
||||
PID 12380: pdftract mcp --stdio
|
||||
Age: 5 seconds (recent - likely from timeout)
|
||||
Parent PPID: 1 (parent was killed)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix:** Use `OrphanedProcessGuard` RAII pattern to ensure cleanup on drop/panic.
|
||||
|
||||
### Scenario 2: Panic Before Cleanup
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptom:** Test code panics after spawning a process but before cleanup code runs.
|
||||
|
||||
**Example:**
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
#[test]
|
||||
fn test_something() {
|
||||
let child = Command::new("pdftract")
|
||||
.arg("mcp")
|
||||
.spawn()
|
||||
.unwrap();
|
||||
|
||||
// Some test code that might panic
|
||||
assert!(some_condition);
|
||||
|
||||
// Cleanup never runs if assertion fails
|
||||
child.kill().unwrap();
|
||||
child.wait().unwrap();
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Verification:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ ./scripts/check-orphaned-processes.sh --verbose
|
||||
⚠ Found 1 orphaned process:
|
||||
PID 12381: pdftract mcp --stdio
|
||||
Age: Variable (depends on when test run)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix:** Use RAII guard - cleanup runs even on panic.
|
||||
|
||||
### Scenario 3: Undrained Stdio::piped() Blocks wait()
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptom:** Long-running server with `Stdio::piped()` fills stdout/stderr buffer, process blocks, `wait()` never returns.
|
||||
|
||||
**Example:**
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
let child = Command::new("pdftract")
|
||||
.arg("mcp")
|
||||
.arg("--stdio")
|
||||
.stdin(Stdio::piped()) // Server writes to stdout
|
||||
.stdout(Stdio::piped()) // but nobody reads it
|
||||
.stderr(Stdio::piped())
|
||||
.spawn()?;
|
||||
|
||||
// This blocks forever if pipe fills
|
||||
child.wait().unwrap();
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Verification:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ ./scripts/check-orphaned-processes.sh --verbose
|
||||
⚠ Found 1 orphaned process:
|
||||
PID 12382: pdftract mcp --stdio
|
||||
State: D (disk sleep - waiting for I/O)
|
||||
CPU: 0% (blocked on pipe buffer)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix:** Use `Stdio::null()` for servers, or drain pipes on a background thread.
|
||||
|
||||
### Scenario 4: Port Already in Use from Previous Run
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptom:** New test fails with "Address already in use" error, previous test's MCP server still running.
|
||||
|
||||
**Example:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# First test run
|
||||
cargo test mcp_server
|
||||
# Test spawns pdftract mcp --bind 127.0.0.1:8080
|
||||
# Test panics, server not killed
|
||||
|
||||
# Second test run (minutes later)
|
||||
cargo test mcp_server
|
||||
# FAIL: AddressAlreadyIn use - port 8080 still bound
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Verification:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ ./scripts/check-orphaned-processes.sh --pattern "pdftract mcp" --verbose
|
||||
⚠ Found 1 orphaned process:
|
||||
PID 12383: pdftract mcp --bind 127.0.0.1:8080
|
||||
Age: 5 minutes 20 seconds (stale)
|
||||
Listening ports: 127.0.0.1:8080
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix:** Check for orphans at test start, use random ports (`:0`), or enforce cleanup.
|
||||
|
||||
### Scenario 5: Fuzz Harness Leaves Target Processes
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptom:** Fuzzer crashes or is killed, target pdftract processes continue running in background.
|
||||
|
||||
**Example:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Fuzzing runs
|
||||
cargo fuzz run lexer -- -max_total_time=300
|
||||
# Fuzzer killed (Ctrl+C or timeout)
|
||||
|
||||
# Target processes still running
|
||||
pgrep -af "pdftract"
|
||||
# 12390 pdftract /tmp/fuzz-input-12345.bin
|
||||
# 12391 pdftract /tmp/fuzz-input-12346.bin
|
||||
# 12392 pdftract /tmp/fuzz-input-12347.bin
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Verification:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ ./scripts/check-orphaned-processes.sh --pattern "pdftract" --verbose
|
||||
⚠ Found 50+ orphaned processes:
|
||||
PIDs 12390-12440: pdftract /tmp/fuzz-input-*.bin
|
||||
Total age: 30+ minutes (stale fuzz run)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix:** Fuzz harness should trap signals and kill children on exit.
|
||||
|
||||

# bf-vnx45a: Manual Verification Examples and Process Pattern Explanations
|
||||
|
||||
**Task:** Add manual verification examples and process pattern explanations to orphaned process verification documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
**Status:** ✅ COMPLETE
|
||||
|
||||
## Summary
|
||||
|
||||
Added comprehensive manual verification examples and detailed process pattern explanations to `/home/coding/pdftract/docs/test-hygiene/orphaned-process-verification.md`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Changes Made
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Process Pattern Explanations
|
||||
|
||||
Added detailed section "Process Pattern Explanations" explaining each default pattern:
|
||||
|
||||
- **`pdftract mcp` pattern**: MCP server subprocess
|
||||
- What it is: Model Context Protocol server spawned by integration tests
|
||||
- Typical spawn patterns (`--stdio`, `--bind`)
|
||||
- Why it orphans: Long-lived servers, forgotten shutdown signals, panic before cleanup
|
||||
- Detection examples with expected output
|
||||
- Manual cleanup commands
|
||||
|
||||
- **`TH-0` pattern**: Test harness process (hyphen variant)
|
||||
- What it is: Test harness subprocess with hyphenated naming
|
||||
- Typical spawn patterns (pdftract CLI subprocess)
|
||||
- Why it orphans: Test assertion failure, hung wait(), undrained pipes
|
||||
- Detection examples with expected output (including multi-process scenarios)
|
||||
- Manual cleanup with `pkill`
|
||||
|
||||
- **`TH_0` pattern**: Test harness process (underscore variant)
|
||||
- What it is: Test harness with underscore naming (common in fuzz testing)
|
||||
- Typical spawn patterns (fuzz harness targets)
|
||||
- Why it orphans: Same as TH-0, plus fuzzer-specific scenarios
|
||||
- Detection examples with expected output (bulk orphan scenario from fuzz)
|
||||
- Manual cleanup (bulk kill)
|
||||
|
||||
Each pattern includes:
|
||||
- Command-line examples with expected clean output
|
||||
- Examples showing orphaned state with detailed diagnostics
|
||||
- Manual verification and cleanup commands
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Manual Verification Walkthrough
|
||||
|
||||
Added "Manual Verification Walkthrough" section with four detailed scenarios:
|
||||
|
||||
**Scenario 1: After a Test Run**
|
||||
- Step-by-step verification after running `cargo nextest run`
|
||||
- Shows clean vs orphaned output
|
||||
- Demonstrates cleanup workflow
|
||||
|
||||
**Scenario 2: Before Starting a Test Run**
|
||||
- Pre-flight check to ensure clean state
|
||||
- JSON output parsing example
|
||||
- Conditional cleanup before tests
|
||||
|
||||
**Scenario 3: Investigating a Leaking Test**
|
||||
- Binary search approach to find which test leaves orphans
|
||||
- Running individual tests and checking after each
|
||||
- Example of finding `mcp_server_timeout` test as the culprit
|
||||
|
||||
**Scenario 4: CI Post-Test Verification**
|
||||
- Complete bash script for CI integration
|
||||
- JSON output parsing with jq
|
||||
- Automated cleanup on failure
|
||||
- Proper exit codes for CI
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Common Orphan Scenarios
|
||||
|
||||
Added "Common Orphan Scenarios" section with five real-world scenarios:
|
||||
|
||||
**Scenario 1: Test Timeout Leaves Children Alive**
|
||||
- Symptom: Test runner killed but children survive
|
||||
- Example code showing the problem
|
||||
- Verification output showing parent PPID = 1
|
||||
- Fix: Use OrphanedProcessGuard RAII pattern
|
||||
|
||||
**Scenario 2: Panic Before Cleanup**
|
||||
- Symptom: Assertion failure prevents cleanup from running
|
||||
- Example test code that can orphan on panic
|
||||
- Fix: RAII guard ensures cleanup on panic
|
||||
|
||||
**Scenario 3: Undrained Stdio::piped() Blocks wait()**
|
||||
- Symptom: Process blocked in disk sleep (state D), 0% CPU
|
||||
- Example code with Stdio::piped() causing pipe buffer block
|
||||
- Verification showing process state
|
||||
- Fix: Use Stdio::null() or drain pipes on thread
|
||||
|
||||
**Scenario 4: Port Already in Use from Previous Run**
|
||||
- Symptom: "Address already in use" error
|
||||
- Timeline showing stale process from 5+ minutes ago
|
||||
- Fix: Check for orphans at test start, use random ports
|
||||
|
||||
**Scenario 5: Fuzz Harness Leaves Target Processes**
|
||||
- Symptom: 50+ orphaned pdftract processes after fuzz run
|
||||
- Example from cargo fuzz with Ctrl+C or timeout
|
||||
- Stale processes from 30+ minutes ago
|
||||
- Fix: Fuzz harness should trap signals
|
||||
|
||||

## Verification Commands
|
||||
|
||||
Test the documentation:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# View the updated documentation
|
||||
cat docs/test-hygiene/orphaned-process-verification.md
|
||||
|
||||
# Test the verification script (should work with new patterns)
|
||||
./scripts/check-orphaned-processes.sh
|
||||
|
||||
# Test verbose mode
|
||||
./scripts/check-orphaned-processes.sh --verbose
|
||||
|
||||
# Test JSON output
|
||||
./scripts/check-orphaned-processes.sh --json | jq .
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
