📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change updates flagd retry defaults and retry attempts. End-to-end event handling now preserves complete event history while maintaining a separate queue for positive assertions. Test execution excludes fractional-v3 scenarios and strengthens environment-variable isolation.

Changes

flagd retry and event validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Retry configuration and attempts
providers/flagd/src/main/java/dev/openfeature/contrib/providers/flagd/Config.java, providers/flagd/src/main/java/dev/openfeature/contrib/providers/flagd/resolver/common/ChannelBuilder.java, providers/flagd/src/test/java/dev/openfeature/contrib/providers/flagd/e2e/steps/ProviderSteps.java, providers/flagd/test-harness
Retry backoff, grace-period, and attempt defaults changed. The test-harness reference was updated.
Event history and assertions
providers/flagd/src/test/java/dev/openfeature/contrib/providers/flagd/e2e/State.java, providers/flagd/src/test/java/dev/openfeature/contrib/providers/flagd/e2e/steps/EventSteps.java
Event callbacks now record events in a consumable assertion queue and complete history. Positive assertions consume the assertion queue. A step checks that an event type never occurred.
Test execution and isolation
providers/flagd/src/test/java/dev/openfeature/contrib/providers/flagd/e2e/RunFileTest.java, providers/flagd/src/test/java/dev/openfeature/contrib/providers/flagd/e2e/RunInProcessTest.java, providers/flagd/src/test/java/dev/openfeature/contrib/providers/flagd/e2e/RunRpcTest.java, providers/flagd/src/test/resources/junit-platform.properties
All three end-to-end suites exclude fractional-v3. Environment-variable scenarios now use JUnit’s global exclusive resource.

before positive assertions can consume the event.
- Around line 59-66: Update eventHandlerShouldNotHaveBeenExecuted to wait for
event delivery using a completion barrier or bounded observation window before
scanning state.allEvents, accounting for background resolver callbacks updating
assertedEvents before allEvents. Preserve the existing event-type filtering and
failure assertion after the wait.

since i saw that on slack, should just scale the real values by a factor?

What I actually want to do in a follow-up, is get all these specific adjustments FROM gherkin.

Right now they are just hard coded in the test implementation which is annoying. I don't think we'll do a scaling thing because that would be complicated or a new config - but getting it from the gherkin will be much better... I just didn't want to do that here.


public ConcurrentLinkedQueue<Event> events = new ConcurrentLinkedQueue<>();
// events not yet consumed by a positive assertion; drained as they are matched
public ConcurrentLinkedQueue<Event> assertedEvents = new ConcurrentLinkedQueue<>();

not sure i'm understanding this correctly but would notAssertedEvents be a better name then?

This is for "negative" assertions - ie: make sure some event X was NOT fired - so we keep an un-drained list of all of them.
