From 570ebc4ee25474e4fdea3605a8b723721ac60a34 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bill Hlavacek Date: Wed, 5 Aug 2026 09:38:07 -0600 Subject: [PATCH 1/5] ci(python-tests): run the whole Python suite on Linux and macOS (#169) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Before this, GitHub CI ran 533 of the suite's ~3490 Python tests on any non-Windows host, and every one of them under BNGSIM_CODEGEN_JIT=mir on a -DBNGSIM_ENABLE_MIR=ON build. The count exercised in the DEFAULT configuration on Linux or macOS was zero. The gap was structural: every job that runs pytest names a hand-maintained file list, so a new test file defaults to running nowhere, and the assumed backstop was the local pre-push hook — one platform, and `--no-verify` removes it. python-tests.yml therefore has no paths filter, no file list, and no -D overrides: it runs `python/tests` as a directory on ubuntu-latest and macos-14 against the pyproject defaults (KLU on, NFsim on, RuleMonkey on, MIR off). It is the pre-push hook's own pytest call over a uv.lock-provisioned env, so green here means what a clean `git push` means locally. False-green guards, mirroring native-tests.yml: a floor on the passed count (a module that stops importing shrinks the denominator without failing) and BNGSIM_SKIP_AUDIT=strict (a skip whose reason nobody declared fails the run). HAS_KLU is asserted after the build for the same reason. Side effect: this is the only job that exercises BNGSIM_KLU_AUTOBUILD (GH #209). Every wheel leg resolves a prebuilt SuiteSparse via SUITESPARSE_ROOT and every other job sets ENABLE_KLU=OFF, so the from-source fallback had no CI anywhere. Also corrects three places that documented the old assumption as fact: native-tests.yml's header, conftest's skip-audit rationale, and SUPPORT_MATRIX. --- .github/workflows/native-tests.yml | 11 +- .github/workflows/python-tests.yml | 170 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ SUPPORT_MATRIX.md | 8 ++ python/tests/conftest.py | 22 ++-- 4 files changed, 201 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) create mode 100644 .github/workflows/python-tests.yml diff --git a/.github/workflows/native-tests.yml b/.github/workflows/native-tests.yml index 2f89e0a9..c135f09c 100644 --- a/.github/workflows/native-tests.yml +++ b/.github/workflows/native-tests.yml @@ -5,8 +5,15 @@ name: native-tests # Until #38 NOTHING in CI built these tests.

So REQUIRE_KLU=ON turned into a hard configure failure. The Linux leg now installs libsuitesparse-dev, the same route cibuildwheel's Linux leg takes (dnf install suitesparse-devel), so it matches the shipped wheel. macOS deliberately still installs nothing: Accelerate supplies the BLAS, the autobuild completes, and that leg stays the only CI coverage the autobuild path has anywhere.

Both are pre-existing on main and both are exactly the class #169 said no CI job could see. Neither is caused by this PR. 1. test_jacobian_discontinuous_fallback.py (3 tests). The GH #176 retry machinery is not what breaks: the analytical attempt dies at the t~25 crossing the file's header documents, the warning fires, FD engages — and FD then dies at t~34.6, a SECOND crossing the header does not mention. So the header's premise, that FD straddles the step and integrates the model cleanly, holds under Accelerate and not under Linux's reference LAPACK. The four steady-state tests on the same fixture pass, because #127's march never reaches t~34.6; that contrast is left visible by marking per-test. 2. test_steady_state_codegen.py::test_degenerate_steady_state_is_flagged. Its docstring already said the finite numbers survive "only because the pivots stay nonzero" — it just did not know that was platform-decided. Under reference LAPACK they do not: rcond is 0.00e+00, the solve returns NaN, and the code takes the refusal branch its own sibling test exists to assert. Quarantined with xfail(sys.platform.startswith("linux"), strict=True, raises=SimulationError), so they retire themselves the moment either is fixed. Quarantined at all so the new gate lands green: native-tests.yml's header explains why a permanently-red suite is worse than a smaller green one. Also sets the false-green floors from the measurements. COLLECTED (passed + skipped + xfailed + xpassed) is 3490 on ubuntu-latest, macos-14 and a local macOS box alike — every skip in this suite is function- or class-level, so an absent corpus moves tests between columns without changing the total. That is the structural floor. PASSED differs by leg (3415 vs 3411), so it gets a looser floor and a different job: catching a whole group converting to skips. --- .github/workflows/python-tests.yml | 51 ++++++++++++++----- CHANGELOG.md | 15 ++++++ .../test_jacobian_discontinuous_fallback.py | 29 +++++++++++ python/tests/test_steady_state_codegen.py | 23 +++++++++ 4 files changed, 106 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) diff --git a/.github/workflows/python-tests.yml b/.github/workflows/python-tests.yml index 40a1c4e3..47e6480c 100644 --- a/.github/workflows/python-tests.yml +++ b/.github/workflows/python-tests.yml @@ -165,24 +165,51 @@ jobs: set -euo pipefail # A directory-scoped pytest cannot drift out of sync with a file list, # but it can still shrink: a module that stops importing skips at - # collection, a rename can orphan a file, a bad conftest can deselect. - # None of those is a failure — the run stays green with a smaller - # denominator, which is the #28/#36 shape native-tests.yml guards - # against with its own floors.
