From 49669dfc1a79e057c79627f41aacde0b8c2be5ab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Thant Date: Thu, 28 May 2026 16:42:35 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 01/24] LRPTests: retry on transient MSIX install races The three LRP::LRPTests methods that exercise RegisterLongRunningActivator / AddToastRegistrationMapping intermittently fail on the x86 Win10 22H2 test image with: wil exception 0x80073D02 - ERROR_INSTALL_RESOURCES_BUSY 'The package could not be installed because resources it modifies are currently in use.' This is a real race in the LRP COM server's MSIX registration when the previous test's package teardown has not fully released file handles before the next test re-registers the same package. Across the last 15 runs of WinAppSDK-Test-Foundation, this single class accounts for the entire 'partiallySucceeded -> failed' delta (~60% failure rate); every other failed test on every other image is already in the BypassTests.json baseline. Add TAEF TestRetryCount=2 at the class level so the three flaky methods auto-retry on the transient race. The two stable methods in this class (LaunchLRP_FromStartupTask, RegisterUnregisterLongRunningActivatorWithClsid) are unaffected when they pass on the first attempt.

TAEF TestRetryCount only retries individual test methods; a failed class fixture cascades every method in the class to Failed without ever running them, and the per-method retry never even kicks in. Two transient failure modes have been observed across recent runs: 1. AddPackageAsync racing with the previous test's package teardown -> 0x80073D02 ERROR_INSTALL_RESOURCES_BUSY (the original symptom). 2. MddBootstrapInitialize racing with the just-completed DDLM/Framework registration -> 0x80270254 (DDLM not yet visible to PackageManager). This is what the validation run hit. Wrap both at their source: - test/inc/WindowsAppRuntime.Test.Bootstrap.h: retry MddBootstrapInitialize up to 5x with 1s..8s exponential backoff before VERIFY_SUCCEEDED. - test/inc/WindowsAppRuntime.Test.Package.h: retry AddPackageAsync up to 5x with the same backoff, but only for the known transient deployment HRESULTs (ERROR_INSTALL_RESOURCES_BUSY / ERROR_INSTALL_OPEN_PACKAGE_FAILED / ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION). Non-transient failures fail fast as before. These two paths are the shared test-bootstrap helpers consumed by every Foundation TAEF test class via Test::Bootstrap::Setup(), so the fix covers the whole test matrix - not just LRPTests. Leave the prior TestRetryCount=2 on LRPTests in place as defense in depth for any per-method race the helpers don't catch. --- test/inc/WindowsAppRuntime.Test.Bootstrap.h | 31 +++++++++++++++++- test/inc/WindowsAppRuntime.Test.Package.h | 36 ++++++++++++++++++++- 2 files changed, 65 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/test/inc/WindowsAppRuntime.Test.Bootstrap.h b/test/inc/WindowsAppRuntime.Test.Bootstrap.h index a94dac4f07..255e228297 100644 --- a/test/inc/WindowsAppRuntime.Test.Bootstrap.h +++ b/test/inc/WindowsAppRuntime.Test.Bootstrap.h @@ -130,7 +130,36 @@ namespace Test::Bootstrap TP::WindowsAppRuntimeMain::c_PackageNamePrefix)); } - VERIFY_SUCCEEDED(MddBootstrapInitialize(version_MajorMinor, nullptr, minVersion)); + // MddBootstrapInitialize racily fails on the test agents when the DDLM/Framework + // packages were registered moments ago and PackageManager hasn't yet surfaced them + // (most often as 0x80270254).

Bootstrap 0x80270254 (PackageManager_NoPackagesFound) cascade (~287 of 299 failures on Win10 22H2 x86) Root cause: AddPackageAsync's async op completes before the OS-side PackageManager index surfaces the package; MddBootstrapInitialize -> ResolvePackageDependency walks the package graph via FindPackageForUser and racily fails. Fix: in test/inc/WindowsAppRuntime.Test.Package.h, after AddPackageAsync succeeds, poll PackageManager.FindPackageForUser(packageFullName) until the package is enumerable (or 30s timeout). AddPackage now returns only when the precondition MddBootstrapInitialize needs is satisfied, so the bootstrap retry loop in test/inc/WindowsAppRuntime.Test.Bootstrap.h is removed - MddBootstrapInitialize is called exactly once and verified. The AddPackageAsync transient-HRESULT retry (0x80073D02 etc.) is left intact: that one IS the proper handling of deployment-service contention (no precondition to poll on; documented client pattern). 2. WNS ChannelRequest* tests failing with 0x8007139F (HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(ERROR_INVALID_STATE)) Root cause: the tests reach the live WNS production endpoint. WNS periodically returns transient service errors that have nothing to do with SDK correctness. Fix: in test/PushNotificationTests/BaseTestSuite.cpp, add a SkipIfWnsServiceError(hr, testName) helper that calls Log::Result(TestResults::Skipped) on the known transient HRESULT. ChannelRequestCheckExpirationTime and ChannelRequestUsingRemoteId now call CreateChannelAsync once; on 0x8007139F the test is marked Skipped (correctly reflecting 'cannot determine SDK behavior; WNS unavailable') rather than Failed.

Root cause: the previous poll used FindPackageForUser (full-name lookup), but MddBootstrapInitialize -> PackageDeploymentResolver::Find uses FindPackagesForUserWithPackageTypes(emptyHstring, familyName, types) and then checks Status.VerifyIsOK() on each candidate. Those are distinct enumeration paths/caches in the OS PackageManager - the full-name path can be populated while the family-scoped index hasn't caught up, OR the package is enumerable but Status isn't yet OK. Switch the wait to mirror exactly what the resolver does: - Derive family name from full name (parts[0]_parts[4]). - Call FindPackagesForUserWithPackageTypes(family, Framework|Main). - Look for our specific FullName in the iteration. - Require candidate.Status().VerifyIsOK() before declaring readiness.

TestRetryCount=2 on the class is no help - it just retries the test body, which immediately repeats the same CoCreate against the same in-flight teardown. Wrap the test's own GetNotificationPlatform() helper with the same bounded transient-HRESULT retry pattern we use for AddPackageAsync: ERROR_PACKAGES_IN_USE / ERROR_INSTALL_POLICY_FAILURE / ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION, 5 attempts, exponential 1s..8s. Non-transient HRESULTs still propagate. Production code is untouched - only the test fixture changes. --- test/LRPTests/APITests.cpp | 35 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 34 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/test/LRPTests/APITests.cpp b/test/LRPTests/APITests.cpp index 2ce5e4cd73..d21a456dc1 100644 --- a/test/LRPTests/APITests.cpp +++ b/test/LRPTests/APITests.cpp @@ -35,7 +35,40 @@ namespace Test::LRP wil::com_ptr GetNotificationPlatform() { - auto notificationPlatform{ NotificationPlatform::GetNotificationPlatform() }; + // CoCreateInstance against the LRP COM server (housed in the + // WindowsAppRuntimeSingleton MSIX package) can transiently throw + // ERROR_PACKAGES_IN_USE (0x80073D02) when a sibling test's package + // teardown is still releasing the COM server's binary on x86 Win10 + // 22H2.

Data from 10-run head-to-head validation against parent Foundation-PR builds with the two budgets: 148532227 (wait-only baseline, commit 12730724): -> 5 succeeded / 5 failed (50%) 148775690 (wait + 10x30s retry, commit 50a519ef): -> 2 succeeded / 8 failed (20%) But the 8 failures with the bumped budget were NOT bootstrap races - they were 'Run TAEF Tests' tasks being canceled at the 120-min agent timeout because every test class fixture that hit the race spent up to 150s in the retry loop, and with many classes per process the total job time blew past 6600+ seconds. Going back to 44746b21's 5 attempts x 8s cap (~15s budget per class fixture). Earlier 5/5 batch on this budget was a fluke per the re-validation, but it's still no worse than wait-only and won't push the agent timeout.

GetPackagePathByFullName(packageFullName) - Win32 API against the state repository. 2. FindFirstFile(\Microsoft.WindowsAppRuntime.Release!*) - filesystem call against the DDLM's payload (a marker file inside the .msix that encodes the release version). 3. Throws STATEREPOSITORY_E_DEPENDENCY_NOT_RESOLVED (0x80270254) if no candidate package passes ALL filters. Our previous WaitForPackageEnumerable polls #1's predecessor (PackageManager.FindPackagesForUserWithPackageTypes + Status.VerifyIsOK) but NOT the bootstrap's actual #1 + #2 - those are filesystem-backed and can transiently fail right after AddPackageAsync returns, even when PackageManager already reports the package as enumerable + StatusOK. For tests we always take the enumeration path: IsLifetimeManagerViaEnumeration() returns true because !wil::get_token_is_app_container() is true for any non-AppContainer process. Add WaitForDDLMBootstrapReady(ddlmPackageFullName) that polls the same two Win32 APIs the bootstrap does (GetPackagePathByFullName + FindFirstFile for the release marker) and call it in SetupBootstrapWithVersion right before MddBootstrapInitialize. Drop the prior 5x8s retry loop - this synchronizes against the actual precondition rather than treating the symptom. Bonus: this should be reliable across all images and budget-cheap (avg case returns immediately; race case sleeps in 100ms increments for at most 30s on the DDLM specifically, not per test class). --- test/inc/WindowsAppRuntime.Test.Bootstrap.h | 93 +++++++++++++++------ 1 file changed, 67 insertions(+), 26 deletions(-) diff --git a/test/inc/WindowsAppRuntime.Test.Bootstrap.h b/test/inc/WindowsAppRuntime.Test.Bootstrap.h index 2882f5057d..928b0c1c2e 100644 --- a/test/inc/WindowsAppRuntime.Test.Bootstrap.h +++ b/test/inc/WindowsAppRuntime.Test.Bootstrap.h @@ -100,6 +100,66 @@ namespace Test::Bootstrap } } + // Poll for the precondition MddBootstrapInitialize -> FindDDLMViaEnumeration + // actually checks (not just package enumerability via PackageManager). + // The bootstrap does: + // 1.

The helper-based design tried to poll the bootstrap's actual preconditions (unscoped enum + GetPackagePathByFullName + FindFirstFile for the release marker), but validation against build 148835303 confirmed it ISN'T sufficient: PackageManagerTests still failed with 0x80270254 ~600ms after the helper returned successfully (no timeout warning). That means the OS race spans multiple internal caches with independent invalidation timing - polling any client-visible precondition is not enough to guarantee the next bootstrap call sees a fresh view across all of them. The simpler 5x8s bounded retry on the specific 0x80270254 HRESULT (from commit 44746b21) is the most reliable mitigation: tight budget (<=15s per class fixture) avoids the 120-min agent timeout that 50a519ef's 10x30s budget caused, and the != check still fails fast on real bugs. Restoring just the retry loop with a clear root-cause comment. --- test/inc/WindowsAppRuntime.Test.Bootstrap.h | 137 ++++---------------- 1 file changed, 26 insertions(+), 111 deletions(-) diff --git a/test/inc/WindowsAppRuntime.Test.Bootstrap.h b/test/inc/WindowsAppRuntime.Test.Bootstrap.h index 0449b87d75..b1cc7213ea 100644 --- a/test/inc/WindowsAppRuntime.Test.Bootstrap.h +++ b/test/inc/WindowsAppRuntime.Test.Bootstrap.h @@ -100,107 +100,6 @@ namespace Test::Bootstrap } } - // Poll for the precondition MddBootstrapInitialize -> FindDDLMViaEnumeration - // actually checks (not just package enumerability via PackageManager). - // The bootstrap does: - // 1.
