Earl Warren adc273e3a8 fix: do not ignore automerge while a PR is checking for conflicts (#8189)
Automerge can be ignored when the following race happens:

* Conflict check is happening on a repository and
  `pr.Status = issues_model.PullRequestStatusChecking` for all open pull
  requests (this happens every time a pull request is merged).
* While the conflict check is ongoing, an event (Forgejo Actions being
  successful for instance) happens and and `StartPRCheckAndAutoMerge*` is called.
* Because `pr.CanAutoMerge()` is false, the pull request is not
  selected and not added to the automerge queue.
* When the conflict check completes and `pr.CanAutoMerge()` becomes
  true, there no longer is a task in the auto merge queue and the
  auto merge does not happen.

This is fixed by adding a task to the auto merge queue when the conflict check for a pull request completes. This is done when the mutx protecting the conflict check task is released to prevent a deadlock when a synchronous queues are used in the following situation:

* the conflict check task finds the pull request is mergeable
* it schedules the auto merge tasks that finds it must be merged
* merging concludes with scheduling a conflict check task

Avoid an extra loop where a conflict check task queues an auto merge task that will schedule a conflict check task if the pull request can be merged. The auto merge row is removed from the database before merging. It would otherwise be removed after the merge commit is received via the git hook which happens asynchronously and can lead to a race.

StartPRCheckAndAutoMerge is modified to re-use HeadCommitID when available, such as when called after a pull request conflict check.

---

A note on tests: they cover the new behavior, i.e. automerge being triggered by a successful conflict check. This is also on the critical paths for every test that involve creating, merging or updating a pull request.

- `tests/integration/git_test.go`
- `tests/integration/actions_commit_status_test.go`
- `tests/integration/api_helper_for_declarative_test.go`
- `tests/integration/patch_status_test.go`
- `tests/integration/pull_merge_test.go`

The [missing fixture file](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/pulls/8189/files#diff-b86fdd79108b3ba3cb2e56ffcfd1be2a7b32f46c) for the auto merge table can be verified to be necessary simply by removing it an observing that the integration tests fail.

The [scheduling of the auto merge task](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/pulls/8189/files#diff-9489262e93967f6bb2db41837f37c06f4e70d978) in `testPR` can be verified to be required by moving it in the `testPRProtected` function and observing that the tests hang forever because of the deadlock.

## Checklist

The [contributor guide](https://forgejo.org/docs/next/contributor/) contains information that will be helpful to first time contributors. There also are a few [conditions for merging Pull Requests in Forgejo repositories](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/governance/src/branch/main/PullRequestsAgreement.md). You are also welcome to join the [Forgejo development chatroom](https://matrix.to/#/#forgejo-development:matrix.org).

### Tests

- I added test coverage for Go changes...
  - [ ] in their respective `*_test.go` for unit tests.
  - [x] in the `tests/integration` directory if it involves interactions with a live Forgejo server.
- I added test coverage for JavaScript changes...
  - [ ] in `web_src/js/*.test.js` if it can be unit tested.
  - [ ] in `tests/e2e/*.test.e2e.js` if it requires interactions with a live Forgejo server (see also the [developer guide for JavaScript testing](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/src/branch/forgejo/tests/e2e/README.md#end-to-end-tests)).

### Documentation

- [ ] I created a pull request [to the documentation](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/docs) to explain to Forgejo users how to use this change.
- [x] I did not document these changes and I do not expect someone else to do it.

### Release notes

- [ ] I do not want this change to show in the release notes.
- [x] I want the title to show in the release notes with a link to this pull request.
- [ ] I want the content of the `release-notes/<pull request number>.md` to be be used for the release notes instead of the title.

Integration tests

Thank you for your effort to provide good software tests for Forgejo. Please also read the general testing instructions in the Forgejo contributor documentation.

This file is meant to provide specific information for the integration tests as well as some tips and tricks you should know.

Feel free to extend this file with more instructions if you feel like you have something to share!

How to run the tests?

Before running any tests, please ensure you perform a clean build:

make clean build

Integration tests can be run with make commands for the appropriate backends, namely:

make test-sqlite
make test-pgsql
make test-mysql

Run tests via local forgejo runner

If you have a forgejo runner, you can use it to run the test jobs:

Run all jobs

forgejo-runner exec -W .forgejo/workflows/testing.yml --event=pull_request

Warning: This file defines many jobs, so it will be resource-intensive and therefore not recommended.

Run single job

forgejo-runner exec -W .forgejo/workflows/testing.yml --event=pull_request -j <job_name>

You can list all job names via:

forgejo-runner exec -W .forgejo/workflows/testing.yml --event=pull_request -l

Run sqlite integration tests

Start tests

make test-sqlite

Run MySQL integration tests

Setup a MySQL database inside docker

docker run -e MYSQL_DATABASE=test -e MYSQL_ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes -p 3306:3306 --rm --name mysql mysql:latest #(Ctrl-c to stop the database)

Start tests based on the database container

TEST_MYSQL_HOST=localhost:3306 TEST_MYSQL_DBNAME=test?multiStatements=true TEST_MYSQL_USERNAME=root TEST_MYSQL_PASSWORD='' make test-mysql

Run pgsql integration tests

Setup a pgsql database inside docker

docker run -e "POSTGRES_DB=test" -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres POSTGRESQL_FSYNC=off POSTGRESQL_EXTRA_FLAGS="-c full_page_writes=off" -p 5432:5432 --rm --name pgsql data.forgejo.org/oci/bitnami/postgresql:16 #(Ctrl-c to stop the database)

Start tests based on the database container

TEST_STORAGE_TYPE=local TEST_PGSQL_HOST=localhost:5432 TEST_PGSQL_DBNAME=test TEST_PGSQL_USERNAME=postgres TEST_PGSQL_PASSWORD=postgres make 'test-pgsql#Test'

Running individual tests

Example command to run GPG test:

For SQLite:

make test-sqlite#GPG

For other databases (replace mysql to pgsql):

TEST_MYSQL_HOST=localhost:1433 TEST_MYSQL_DBNAME=test TEST_MYSQL_USERNAME=sa TEST_MYSQL_PASSWORD=MwantsaSecurePassword1 make test-mysql#GPG

Setting timeouts for declaring long-tests and long-flushes

We appreciate that some testing machines may not be very powerful and the default timeouts for declaring a slow test or a slow clean-up flush may not be appropriate.

You can either:

  • Within the test ini file set the following section:
[integration-tests]
SLOW_TEST = 10s ; 10s is the default value
SLOW_FLUSH = 5S ; 5s is the default value
  • Set the following environment variables:
GITEA_SLOW_TEST_TIME="10s" GITEA_SLOW_FLUSH_TIME="5s" make test-sqlite

Tips and tricks

If you know noteworthy tests that can act as an inspiration for new tests, please add some details here.
