Fix unstable package_manager tests by mocking network requests and resolving race conditions

Summary

Per @Brooooooklyn's feedback, tests now use HTTP mocking instead of #[ignore] attributes. Also fixed thread concurrency race condition per @fengmk2's feedback.

Changes

1. Removed #[ignore] Attributes ✅

  • Removed all #[ignore] attributes from 9 tests
  • Removed documentation about ignored tests from README and module docs

2. Added HTTP Mocking Infrastructure ✅

  • Created create_mock_package_tgz() helper to generate mock package tarballs
  • Created setup_mock_registry() to start mock HTTP servers
  • Created mock_package_download() to mock package tgz endpoints
  • Created mock_package_not_found() to mock 404 responses
  • Created mock_package_version() to mock version resolution endpoints (e.g., /pnpm/latest)

3. Updated All Tests to Use Mocks ✅

  • test_detect_package_manager_with_not_exists_version_in_package_manager_field: Mocks 404 response
  • test_detect_package_manager_with_pnpm_workspace_yaml: Mocks pnpm download
  • test_detect_package_manager_with_pnpm_lock_yaml: Mocks pnpm download
  • test_detect_package_manager_with_package_lock_json: Mocks npm download
  • test_download_failed_package_manager_with_hash: Mocks yarn download (expects hash mismatch)
  • test_detect_package_manager_with_npm_package_manager_field: Mocks npm download
  • test_detect_package_manager_with_default_fallback: Mocks yarn download
  • test_detect_package_manager_pnpmfile_over_yarn_config: Mocks pnpm download

4. Fixed Thread Concurrency Race Condition ✅

  • Removed remove_dir_all_force() call before rename() to make operations more atomic
  • Prevents race condition where thread A removes directory, thread B renames, then thread A's rename fails
  • Now we attempt rename directly and handle AlreadyExists gracefully

5. Kept Other Race Condition Fixes ✅

  • Enhanced remove_dir_all_force with ErrorKind::DirectoryNotEmpty handling
  • Shim file validation in AlreadyExists case

Technical Approach

Tests use NPM_CONFIG_REGISTRY environment variable (already supported by the codebase) to point to mock HTTP servers created with httpmock. This allows tests to run without real network access while exercising the full code path including package downloading, extraction, and shim creation.

The thread concurrency fix removes the directory deletion step before rename, making the critical section more atomic and avoiding the DirectoryNotEmpty race condition.

Testing

All tests now run reliably: cargo test -p vite_install

After concurrent execution of snap-test, issues are more likely to occur. Need to add context and print the error stack trace.

…ignored and handle concurrent access

- Mark tests requiring network access with #[ignore] attribute
- Improve error handling in remove_dir_all_force to ignore DirectoryNotEmpty errors
- Add is_already_exists_error helper for better error detection
- Handle race conditions in download_package_manager rename operation

…ests

- Remove all #[ignore] attributes from network-dependent tests per @Brooooooklyn feedback
- Add mock HTTP server helpers using httpmock
- Create helper functions for mocking package downloads and version endpoints
- Update test_detect_package_manager_with_not_exists_version and test_detect_package_manager_with_pnpm_workspace_yaml to use mocks
- Keep race condition fixes (ErrorKind::DirectoryNotEmpty handling)

Update all remaining tests to use mock HTTP servers:
- test_detect_package_manager_with_pnpm_lock_yaml
- test_detect_package_manager_with_package_lock_json
- test_download_failed_package_manager_with_hash
- test_detect_package_manager_with_npm_package_manager_field
- test_detect_package_manager_with_default_fallback
- test_detect_package_manager_pnpmfile_over_yarn_config

All tests now run without real network access by setting NPM_CONFIG_REGISTRY to mock server URLs.

Done! All tests now use HTTP mocking with httpmock instead of #[ignore] attributes. Tests run without real network access by setting NPM_CONFIG_REGISTRY to point to mock servers.

Changes in commits a59d766 and b537b34:

  • Removed all #[ignore] attributes
  • Added mock server infrastructure
  • Updated 7 tests to mock package downloads
  • Kept the race condition fixes for concurrent test execution

There is a thread concurrency conflict issue here. Multiple test threads executing simultaneously will trigger a DirectoryNotEmpty exception, and thread locks are needed to ensure that remove_dir_all_force and rename operations are atomic. @copilot

Fixed in commit 2f3da8d. Removed the remove_dir_all_force(&target_dir) call before rename() to make the operation more atomic.

The race condition occurred because:

  1. Thread A removes target_dir
  2. Thread B removes target_dir (ignored)
  3. Thread B renames successfully
  4. Thread A's rename fails with AlreadyExists

Now we just attempt the rename directly. If it fails with AlreadyExists, we know another thread already completed the installation and we validate/fix any missing shims.

Remove the remove_dir_all_force call before rename to avoid race condition where:
1. Thread A removes target_dir
2. Thread B removes target_dir (ignored due to NotFound)
3. Thread B renames tmp to target_dir
4. Thread A tries to rename and gets AlreadyExists

Now we just attempt the rename directly, which is more atomic. If it fails with AlreadyExists,
we know another thread succeeded and we handle it gracefully by validating/fixing the installation.
