# Condition-Based Waiting
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
Flaky tests often guess at timing with arbitrary delays. This creates race conditions where tests pass on fast machines but fail under load or in CI.
|
||||
|
||||
**Core principle:** Wait for the actual condition you care about, not a guess about how long it takes.
|
||||
|
||||
## When to Use
|
||||
|
||||
```dot
|
||||
digraph when_to_use {
|
||||
"Test uses setTimeout/sleep?" [shape=diamond];
|
||||
"Testing timing behavior?" [shape=diamond];
|
||||
"Document WHY timeout needed" [shape=box];
|
||||
"Use condition-based waiting" [shape=box];
|
||||
|
||||
"Test uses setTimeout/sleep?" -> "Testing timing behavior?" [label="yes"];
|
||||
"Testing timing behavior?" -> "Document WHY timeout needed" [label="yes"];
|
||||
"Testing timing behavior?" -> "Use condition-based waiting" [label="no"];
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Use when:**
|
||||
- Tests have arbitrary delays (`setTimeout`, `sleep`, `time.sleep()`)
|
||||
- Tests are flaky (pass sometimes, fail under load)
|
||||
- Tests timeout when run in parallel
|
||||
- Waiting for async operations to complete
|
||||
|
||||
**Don't use when:**
|
||||
- Testing actual timing behavior (debounce, throttle intervals)
|
||||
- Always document WHY if using arbitrary timeout
|
||||
|
||||
## Core Pattern
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// ❌ BEFORE: Guessing at timing
|
||||
await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 50));
|
||||
const result = getResult();
|
||||
expect(result).toBeDefined();
|
||||
|
||||
// ✅ AFTER: Waiting for condition
|
||||
await waitFor(() => getResult() !== undefined);
|
||||
const result = getResult();
|
||||
expect(result).toBeDefined();
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
| Scenario | Pattern |
|
||||
|----------|---------|
|
||||
| Wait for event | `waitFor(() => events.find(e => e.type === 'DONE'))` |
|
||||
| Wait for state | `waitFor(() => machine.state === 'ready')` |
|
||||
| Wait for count | `waitFor(() => items.length >= 5)` |
|
||||
| Wait for file | `waitFor(() => fs.existsSync(path))` |
|
||||
| Complex condition | `waitFor(() => obj.ready && obj.value > 10)` |
|
||||
|
||||
## Implementation
|
||||
|
||||
Generic polling function:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
async function waitFor<T>(
|
||||
condition: () => T | undefined | null | false,
|
||||
description: string,
|
||||
timeoutMs = 5000
|
||||
): Promise<T> {
|
||||
const startTime = Date.now();
|
||||
|
||||
while (true) {
|
||||
const result = condition();
|
||||
if (result) return result;
|
||||
|
||||
if (Date.now() - startTime > timeoutMs) {
|
||||
throw new Error(`Timeout waiting for ${description} after ${timeoutMs}ms`);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 10)); // Poll every 10ms
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
See `condition-based-waiting-example.ts` in this directory for complete implementation with domain-specific helpers (`waitForEvent`, `waitForEventCount`, `waitForEventMatch`) from actual debugging session.
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Mistakes
|
||||
|
||||
**❌ Polling too fast:** `setTimeout(check, 1)` - wastes CPU
|
||||
**✅ Fix:** Poll every 10ms
|
||||
|
||||
**❌ No timeout:** Loop forever if condition never met
|
||||
**✅ Fix:** Always include timeout with clear error
|
||||
|
||||
**❌ Stale data:** Cache state before loop
|
||||
**✅ Fix:** Call getter inside loop for fresh data
|
||||
|
||||
## When Arbitrary Timeout IS Correct
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Tool ticks every 100ms - need 2 ticks to verify partial output
|
||||
await waitForEvent(manager, 'TOOL_STARTED'); // First: wait for condition
|
||||
await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 200)); // Then: wait for timed behavior
|
||||
// 200ms = 2 ticks at 100ms intervals - documented and justified
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:**
|
||||
1. First wait for triggering condition
|
||||
2. Based on known timing (not guessing)
|
||||
3. Comment explaining WHY
|
||||
|
||||
## Real-World Impact
|
||||
|
||||
From debugging session (2025-10-03):
|
||||
- Fixed 15 flaky tests across 3 files
|
||||
- Pass rate: 60% → 100%
|
||||
- Execution time: 40% faster
|
||||
- No more race conditions
