ci: wait for the index to list the release before the post-release smoke test by Thanatos9404 · Pull Request #655 · EvoScientist/EvoScientist

Thanatos9404 · 2026-10-17T07:41:56Z

Description

The workflow_run mode of install-smoke.yml starts as soon as "Publish to PyPI" completes. For v0.3.7 the index still served the previous listing, so the installer and install_smoke_check each picked a different newest release and two jobs failed the version check.

In workflow_run mode each smoke job now takes the version from the release tag (head_branch without the v; main or v0.4.0rc1 fails) and, right before it installs, waits up to 10 minutes for the index its installer reads to list it, with that installer's request: curl -fsSL --retry 3 --max-time 30 on macOS and Linux, Invoke-RestMethod on Windows, the Tsinghua mirror for --cn. Runners can see different listings at the same moment, so each job checks for itself. A job whose index never lists it fails with an error naming the index, so a lagging mirror fails only --cn. The checks then expect that version. Pull request, weekly and manual runs are unchanged.

Fixes #654

Validation: actionlint 1.7.12 shows no findings. Both wait steps, run from the YAML against the real indexes (Windows in PowerShell 5.1): v0.3.7 passes on both, main fails at once, v9.9.9 and an unreachable index fail at a shortened deadline. The next release proves the real path.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Chores
- Release-triggered installation checks on Linux, macOS, and Windows now verify the release tag and wait up to 10 minutes for that version to appear on the configured package index.
- Checks fail if the tag is invalid or the release version does not appear in time, and use the release version once it is listed.

…oke test The workflow_run trigger starts the installer smoke test as soon as "Publish to PyPI" completes, while the index can still serve the previous listing. For v0.3.7 the installer and install_smoke_check each read the newest release on their own and got different answers on two runners. In workflow_run mode, take the version from the release tag of the triggering run (head_branch without the "v"), wait up to 10 minutes for the index the installer reads (INDEX_URL, the mirror for --cn) to list it, with the installer's request, and pass it to the checks as EXPECTED_VERSION. A run that is not for a release tag fails with a message. The installer still runs without --version, as users run it. Fixes EvoScientist#654

📝 Walkthrough

The install smoke workflow now validates the release tag and waits for the configured package index to list that release version. On success, the Linux/macOS and Windows jobs set EXPECTED_VERSION to the release version.

Changes: Post-release version checks

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Validate release and wait for index `.github/workflows/install-smoke.yml`	For `workflow_run` jobs, the workflow validates the release tag and polls the configured package index every 10 seconds for up to 10 minutes. The Linux/macOS and Windows jobs fail if the version does not appear. On success, each job sets `EXPECTED_VERSION` to the release version. The workflow comment describes these checks.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #654 requires the workflow_run path to derive the expected version from the triggering tag, wait for the package index before installation, set EXPECTED_VERSION, and keep the installer invocation without --version. The workflow implements this for each release job. It polls the index used by the installer, including the Tsinghua mirror for --cn, with a 10-minute deadline. It rejects invalid triggering values and writes the tag version to GITHUB_ENV. The public installer commands remain unchanged and do not pass --version. The smoke check uses EXPECTED_VERSION. The reported actionlint and wait-step validation support the change.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The whole-PR diff changes only .github/workflows/install-smoke.yml. The comments, per-job index waits, tag validation, and expected-version propagation directly support issue #654. The workflow keeps pull request, weekly, and manual behavior unchanged. No unrelated change is shown.

Thank you for the contribution. Looks fine, need one more decision before approval.

+          RELEASE_TAG: ${{ github.event.workflow_run.head_branch }}
+        run: |
+          version=${RELEASE_TAG#v}
+          if ! [[ $version =~ ^[0-9]+(\.[0-9]+)*$ ]]; then


@X-iZhang do we plan to publish pre-releases (rc tags) or backport releases (for example a 0.3.7.1 after 0.4.0)? If either, this step needs two changes: skip the wait for a non-final tag instead of failing all 5 jobs (before this PR such a run passed against the newest final release), and expect the newest final version the index lists rather than the tag's version, since the public installer installs the newest final release (install.sh choose_version). If neither is planned, this is fine as is.

Neither is planned: we release only final vX.Y.Z tags from main, and a broken release is fixed with a new patch release, so this is fine as is.

jfilipiuk · 2026-10-19T13:44:36Z

+          fi
+          # The versions the index lists, read as scripts/install.sh reads them.
+          listed() {
+            curl -fsS --max-time 30 -H 'Accept: application/vnd.pypi.simple.v1+json' "$INDEX_URL/evoscientist/" | tr -d '\n' |


Nit: the comment above says this uses the installer's request, but install.sh reads the listing with curl -fsSL --retry 3. Suggest curl -fsSL --retry 3 --max-time 30 here so a redirect or a transient error behaves the same in both.

jfilipiuk · 2026-10-19T13:44:36Z

+              tr ',' '\n' | tr -d ' "'
+          }
+          echo "Waiting up to 10 minutes for $INDEX_URL to list EvoScientist $version"
+          deadline=$((SECONDS + 600))


Note for the --cn job: if the Tsinghua mirror is more than 10 minutes behind PyPI, this job now fails, and it is not best-effort. Before this change the installer and the version check both read the lagging mirror and passed. Worth knowing when a release smoke goes red on cn only.

jfilipiuk · 2026-10-19T13:44:36Z

+          echo "$INDEX_URL lists EvoScientist $version"
+          echo "EXPECTED_VERSION=$version" >> "$GITHUB_ENV"
+
+      - name: Wait for the release on the index (Windows)


Nit: this step does not use the clean environment, so the bash step could run on Windows too with shell: bash (Git Bash on the runner has curl, sed and grep), which drops the PowerShell copy. Another nit: one small job that waits for both indexes and that smoke needs would keep 5 runners (2 of them macOS) from polling the same URLs for up to 10 minutes each.

Move the index wait out of the five smoke jobs into a wait-for-release job on Ubuntu that smoke needs, so one runner polls instead of five and the PowerShell copy goes away. It waits for pypi.org (failing after 10 minutes) and then for the mirror the --cn leg reads, where a lag only leaves a warning. The request now uses curl -fsSL --retry 3 like scripts/install.sh, plus --max-time 30.

Thanatos9404 · 2026-10-19T14:01:34Z

Thanks for the review. I moved the wait into one wait-for-release job on Ubuntu that smoke needs, so only one runner polls and the PowerShell copy is gone, and it now uses curl -fsSL --retry 3 --max-time 30 like install.sh. On the --cn note: a mirror that is still behind now leaves a warning in that job, so a red cn-only run says why. I left the rc and backport handling as it is until X-iZhang decides.

Thanks for the fix. One suggestion inline in .github/workflows/install-smoke.yml; the rc / backport question is answered in its thread.

+  # newest release. Wait until pypi.org, then the mirror the --cn job reads,
+  # list the version of the release tag, with the installer's request, and
+  # have the checks expect that version. One job waits for all the runners.
+  wait-for-release:


One runner seeing the release does not mean the others do. In the v0.3.7 run, the Ubuntu installer read 0.3.7 from pypi.org at 01:03:19, but the Windows installer read 0.3.6 at 01:03:31, and the macOS Intel check read 0.3.6 at 01:04:14, 26 s after the same request had returned 0.3.7 on Ubuntu and macOS arm64. With this job that release would still have passed, because every leg also waits for the mirror, whose page for 0.3.7 is dated 01:08:13. When the mirror syncs soon after an upload, the pypi.org legs start installing within about a minute of it, inside that window.

Suggestion: wait in each leg right before it installs, with that leg's own installer request (curl on macOS and Linux, Invoke-RestMethod on Windows as in install.ps1, the mirror for --cn), as your first commit did, keeping curl -fsSL --retry 3 --max-time 30. Each runner then checks what its own installer will read.

Thanks, that makes sense. In 4e09483 each smoke job waits right before it installs, with its own installer's request (curl -fsSL --retry 3 --max-time 30 on macOS and Linux, Invoke-RestMethod on Windows, the Tsinghua mirror for --cn), and the shared job is gone. If the mirror still does not list the release after 10 minutes, the --cn job fails there with an error naming the mirror, so only that job goes red and it says why.

One runner reading the new listing does not mean the others do: in the v0.3.7 run, Ubuntu read 0.3.7 from pypi.org while Windows and macOS Intel read 0.3.6 seconds later. Drop the shared wait-for-release job and wait in each job instead, right before its install, with its installer's own request: curl -fsSL --retry 3 --max-time 30 on macOS and Linux, Invoke-RestMethod on Windows as scripts/install.ps1 does, against the index that job's installer reads (the mirror for --cn). Each wait has its own 10 minute window from when it starts. A job whose index still does not list the release fails there with an error naming the index, so a lagging mirror fails only the --cn job and says why.
