From 42e49d4ce4653faae2dfd73c6d0b4f6074722616 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnav Kapoor Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2026 02:54:26 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] [ENH] Add local Docker test server infrastructure (#1586) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Implements long-term solution for flaky tests and race conditions by introducing local Docker-based test infrastructure. ## Changes **Infrastructure:** - Add Docker Compose config for local test services (MySQL, PHP API v1, Python API v2) - Add test-server.sh management script for easy local development - Add pytest plugin for local server configuration (--local-server flag) **CI/CD:** - Add new CI job for testing with local server - Enable tests marked with @pytest.mark.uses_test_server to run locally - Eliminate dependency on remote test.openml.org for most tests **Documentation:** - Add comprehensive local_test_server.md guide - Update CONTRIBUTING.md with local testing instructions - Document migration path and troubleshooting steps ## Benefits ✅ Eliminates race conditions from parallel CI jobs ✅ Removes flaky failures from server load/timeouts ✅ Enables reliable local development and testing ✅ Provides foundation for v1→v2 API migration (#1575) ## Migration Path **Short-term:** Mock server implementation for CI validation **Mid-term:** Replace with official OpenML Docker images **Long-term:** Full local test environment with production-like data Fixes #1586 Co-authored-by: geetu040 (design from #1614) --- .github/workflows/test.yml | 90 +++++++++++++ CONTRIBUTING.md | 23 ++++ docker/docker-compose.test.yml | 76 +++++++++++ docker/test-server.sh | 148 ++++++++++++++++++++++ docs/local_test_server.md | 224 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ tests/conftest.py | 3 + tests/pytest_openml_server.py | 74 +++++++++++ 7 files changed, 638 insertions(+) create mode 100644 docker/docker-compose.test.yml create mode 100755 docker/test-server.sh create mode 100644 docs/local_test_server.md create mode 100644 tests/pytest_openml_server.py diff --git a/.github/workflows/test.yml b/.github/workflows/test.yml index d65cc3796..b0dce0c94 100644 --- a/.github/workflows/test.yml +++ b/.github/workflows/test.yml @@ -172,3 +172,93 @@ jobs: run: | echo "This is a temporary dummy docker job." echo "Always succeeds." + + test-local-server: + name: Test with local server (Py${{ matrix.python-version }}) + runs-on: ubuntu-latest + + strategy: + fail-fast: false + matrix: + python-version: ["3.12"] + scikit-learn: ["1.5.*"] + + services: + mysql: + image: mysql:8.0 + env: + MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: ok + MYSQL_DATABASE: openml_test + MYSQL_USER: openml + MYSQL_PASSWORD: openml + ports: + -
