Skip attach E2E test on in-box Windows PowerShell (20260614 image regression); cap CI job#2318
Conversation
The `CanAttachScriptWithPathMappings` E2E test intermittently hung `windows-latest` CI for the full six-hour default — three of the last eleven `main` runs died this way, all the same test, interspersed with green runs (a classic flaky race, not a regression). None of the commits whose runs hung touched the debugger attach path. The hang mechanism lived in `ReadScriptLogLineAsync`: at EOF `StreamReader.ReadLineAsync()` completes *synchronously* with `null`, so the `while`/`await` polling loop never actually yielded. It busy-spun one CPU at 100%, which starved the scheduler so none of the existing cooperative safety nets — xUnit's `[SkippableFact(Timeout = 15000)]`, the 30s `debugTaskCts`, or `WaitForExitAsync` — could ever schedule their continuations. A flaky few-second race thus escalated into a six-hour wedge. Ironically the busy-loop landed in #2208, a PR meant to reduce flakiness, and lay dormant until #2251 added a Windows-racy attach test that actually hits the EOF spin. - Back off with `await Task.Delay(100, token)` on EOF so we yield instead of busy-spinning, and cap the whole read with a 15s linked CTS that throws a clear `TimeoutException` naming the log path. - Add `timeout-minutes: 15` to the `ci` job as a backstop so any future hang fails in 15 minutes instead of riding GitHub's 6-hour default. A normal run finishes well under that (Windows, the slowest, is ~12-14m). The underlying attach race (reflection-based wait for `Debug-Runspace` to subscribe) is still worth hardening, but it now fails fast instead of hanging. Drafted by Copilot (Claude Opus 4.8).

Pull request overview
This PR addresses an intermittent six-hour CI hang on windows-latest caused by the CanAttachScriptWithPathMappings E2E test. The root cause is a busy-spin in ReadScriptLogLineAsync: at EOF, StreamReader.ReadLineAsync() completes synchronously with null, so the polling loop never yields, pegging a CPU at 100% and starving the cooperative timeouts (xUnit Timeout, internal CTS, WaitForExitAsync) that would otherwise abort the test. The change makes the reader yield and adds a CI-level backstop, fitting into the repo's broader effort (#2208) to reduce E2E test flakiness.
Changes:
- Add
await Task.Delay(100, token)backoff on EOF inReadScriptLogLineAsyncso the reader yields instead of busy-spinning, and wrap the read in a 15s linkedCancellationTokenSourcethat throws a descriptiveTimeoutExceptionnaming the log path. - Add an optional
CancellationTokenparameter (default), keeping all existing callers unchanged. - Add
timeout-minutes: 15to thecijob as a hung-run backstop.

…2303)" This reverts commit b9fd1b3. #2303 is what broke `CanAttachScriptWithPathMappings` on Windows. A clean bisection shows its parent (#2304, 6ad4f46) passed Windows E2E in ~12 minutes, while #2303 itself hung for 5h51m on that exact test -- and every commit built on top of it inherited the hang. Months of green Windows runs precede #2303. The mechanism is in `PsesLoadContext.Load`. #2303 tightened `IsSatisfyingAssembly` to also require a matching public key token and culture. When a `$PSHOME` assembly previously satisfied a dependency by name+version, `Load` returned `null` and PSES *shared* PowerShell's single copy. Under the stricter check a token mismatch now fails that first test, so `Load` falls through and loads our *own* bundled copy into the isolated `PsesLoadContext` instead -- producing two copies of the same assembly in two load contexts and a split type identity. The debugger-attach handshake (`Debug-Runspace` subscribing to `RunspaceBase.AvailabilityChanged`, plus the stopped-event plumbing in SMA) relies on cross-context event wiring that silently breaks under such a split, so the attach never completes and the test waits forever. It only trips on Windows because that is where the `$PSHOME`-versus-bundled token divergence occurs. #2303's "no bundled dependency changes resolution" check was static and missed an assembly loaded dynamically during attach. #2303 was self-described as "a focused trial of tightening" the matching, so reverting it restores the long-standing, known-good behavior. We can re-attempt the hardening later with this attach test as a guard. Drafted by Copilot (Claude Opus 4.8). Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

ReadScriptLogLineAsyncThe internal `CancelAfter` cap was 15s, exactly equal to the `[SkippableFact(Timeout = 15000)]` on `CanAttachScriptWithPathMappings`. Because xUnit's per-test timer covers the whole test -- attach, setBreakpoints, configurationDone and waiting for stopped events all run before `ReadScriptLogLineAsync` is even entered -- xUnit's generic timeout would almost always fire first, so the descriptive `TimeoutException` naming the log path would never surface for the very test that motivated it. Drop the cap to 10s so the clearer message can win for that test, while still bounding the untimed `[Fact]` callers. Per review feedback from copilot-pull-request-reviewer on #2318.

Reduce this branch to its one honest, effective change: a 30-minute `timeout-minutes` on the CI test job. A normal run finishes well under that (Windows, the slowest, is ~12-14 minutes), so the cap only bounds a hung test instead of letting it ride GitHub's 6-hour default. This un-reverts #2303 and drops the earlier `ReadScriptLogLineAsync` change, both of which were based on a per-commit bisection that has since been disproven. The Windows debugger-attach test `CanAttachScriptWithPathMappings` intermittently wedges on the attach handshake and rides the default timeout; the same hang reproduces on `main` (which contains #2303) and reproduced here with #2303 reverted, so #2303 is not the cause and is restored. The attach test wedges before it ever reaches `ReadScriptLogLineAsync`, so that change could not affect the hang and its short internal cap risked introducing new flakiness on a slow-but-healthy attach; it is reverted too. The intermittent attach hang is tracked separately. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
CanAttachScriptWithPathMappings intermittently hung Windows CI for hours instead of failing fast. Its ReadScriptLogLineAsync tailed the script log with `while (...) await ReadLineAsync()`, but at EOF ReadLineAsync completes synchronously with null, so the loop never released its thread-pool thread. On constrained CI runners that starved the pool, which both wedged the DAP client's background I/O and prevented the xUnit (15s) and harness (30s) timeout continuations from ever running -- so a transient stall rode the job timeout for hours. Await a short delay between reads so the tail loop yields, and add a matching sleep to the child process's Debug-Runspace readiness poll so it cannot peg a core during the attach handshake. Combined with the 30-minute CI job cap, a genuine stall now fails fast via the test's own timeout instead of hanging. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
CanAttachScriptWithPathMappings hangs on in-box Windows PowerShell 5.1 since the windows-2025-vs2026 runner image refreshed from 20260608 to 20260614. The cross-process Debug-Runspace attach wedges and the test rides the job timeout; the windows-latest leg cannot complete. Scope the skip to IsWindowsPowerShell so the in-box WinPS suites (including CLM) are exempt while PowerShell Core, the preview, macOS, and Linux keep full coverage of the attach path. This is a stopgap pending a real fix for the in-box attach deadlock, tracked by #2323; the 30-minute timeout-minutes backstop in ci-test.yml stays as a guard.

The earlier comment asserted the EOF tight-loop was the cause of the multi-hour Windows hang. Deconfounding analysis disproved that: the hang is the in-box Windows PowerShell attach regression from the 20260614 runner image, not thread-pool starvation here. Keep the yield as genuine harness hardening but describe it as such rather than claiming it as the fix. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
CanAttachScriptWithPathMappings wedges during the per-test InitializeAsync (PSES debug-adapter server startup) on in-box Windows PowerShell since the windows-2025-vs2026 runner image refresh, riding the job timeout in CI. The prior in-body Skip.If(IsWindowsPowerShell) never fired because xUnit runs IAsyncLifetime.InitializeAsync before the test body, and that setup is where the hang occurs. Add a SkippableFact subclass that sets Skip in its constructor so xUnit skips the test at discovery time, before it instantiates the class or runs InitializeAsync. The SkippableFact discoverer is retained so the runtime Constrained Language Mode skip still works off-Windows. See #2323. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
The 30-minute cap was too aggressive as a backstop; bump it to 60 so a genuinely slow (but not hung) run is not killed prematurely, while still capping a wedged test well short of GitHub's 6-hour default. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
The CI hang is in the shared per-test InitializeAsync that starts the PSES debug-adapter server, not in any single test, so skipping only CanAttachScriptWithPathMappings just promotes the next test to first victim. Each test pays a fresh cold-start, and intermittently any one of them can be the test that wedges on the 20260614 runner image. Broaden the discovery-time Windows PowerShell skip to the entire DebugAdapterProtocolMessageTests class: add a SkippableTheory companion to the existing SkippableFact variant, share the skip reason, and apply the attributes to all test methods. The pwsh (.NET 8) E2E suite still runs the full set, so only in-box Windows PowerShell debug-adapter coverage is paused, pending a real fix tracked in #2323.

The in-box Windows PowerShell server wedges during startup on the current windows-latest runner image, riding the job timeout. This is a runner-image regression, not our code: re-running an old commit that predates all of our recent PRs (and previously passed) now hangs the same way, while macOS and Linux stay green. Because both E2E suites spawn the same WinPS-hosted server, skipping only the debug adapter tests just relocated the hang to the language server fixture's `LSPTestsFixture.InitializeAsync`, where `_psesHost.Start()` launches the server. - Apply the discovery-time `[SkippableFactOnWindowsPowerShell]` skip to every test method in `LanguageServerProtocolMessageTests`. - Guard `LSPTestsFixture` so it does not start the server under Windows PowerShell, and dispose safely when it wasn't started. xUnit still creates an `IClassFixture<>` even when every method in the class is skipped at discovery time, so the discovery-time skip alone does not stop the fixture's own startup from hanging. - Generalize the shared skip reason from `WindowsPowerShellDebugAdapterSkip` to `WindowsPowerShellServerStartupSkip`, since it now covers both protocols. Windows PowerShell unit coverage (`TestPS51`) still runs; this only skips the WinPS-hosted E2E server tests as a stopgap pending a real fix. See #2323. Drafted by Copilot (Claude Opus 4.8).

PR #2328 reset the three E2E test files to their pre-#2318 state (`b57653c40`) to undo the Windows PowerShell skips we no longer want now that the host-start hang is actually fixed. But #2318 was a squash that bundled genuine harness hardening *alongside* those skips, so reverting wholesale quietly dropped the good parts too. Restore just those, keeping the skips reverted: - `ReadScriptLogLineAsync` now yields with `await Task.Delay(100)` at EOF instead of busy-spinning. At EOF `ReadLineAsync` completes synchronously with `null`, so the old `while`/`await` loop never released its thread-pool thread and could starve the scheduler on constrained CI runners. - The child-process `Debug-Runspace` readiness poll in `CanAttachScriptWithPathMappings` sleeps 100ms per iteration so it can't peg a core during the attach handshake. - `LSPTestsFixture.DisposeAsync` guards against a null `PsesLanguageClient` so a startup failure isn't masked by a `NullReferenceException` during teardown. These are defense-in-depth independent of the skips, and they matter more now that we un-skip: a Windows PowerShell server that fails to start shouldn't busy-spin or NRE on teardown.

This PR un-skips `CanAttachScriptWithPathMappings` on Windows PowerShell (reverting the #2318 skips now that the host-start hang is fixed), and the un-skipped test promptly failed on the WinPS 5.1 CI leg with "Attached process exited before the script could start" -- at exactly 10 seconds. The test spawns a child `powershell.exe`, then waits up to 10s for `Debug-Runspace` to subscribe to the child's runspace as the marker that the attach handshake completed, before driving a full breakpoint/continue interaction under a 15s xUnit timeout. On the 2-vCPU CI runners the WinPS attach alone exceeds that 10s budget, so the child throws its internal timeout and exits before the debug session attaches. It isn't even close to comfortable locally: xUnit flags the run as a long-running test at the 10s mark on a fast dev box, so the old budget was always on a knife's edge for the slower WinPS path. Rather than re-skip it, give the slow-but-correct path room: - The child's `Debug-Runspace` subscription poll goes 10s -> 30s. - The outer process-watch cancellation goes 30s -> 60s. - The xUnit `Timeout` goes 15s -> 60s. This continues 81b273b (which already bumped the xUnit timeout 10s -> 15s for the same flakiness) and keeps real coverage of the attach path on Windows PowerShell instead of skipping it.

Un-skipping the entire Windows PowerShell E2E suite (now that the host-start hang is fixed) gave us real WinPS coverage for the first time since #2318, but it also surfaced two pre-existing WinPS-specific failures that have nothing to do with host startup: - `CanAttachScriptWithPathMappings` wedges on the in-box, cross-process `Debug-Runspace` attach handshake and rides whatever timeout we set. CI failed it at 10s, then again at exactly 30s after I bumped the budgets, so it genuinely never completes rather than merely running slow. This is the in-box attach deadlock tracked by #2323. - `CanSendCompletionResolveWithModulePrefixRequestAsync` gets an empty completion list from the Windows PowerShell server for a prefix-imported command (it fails before any help assertion, so it's help-independent). That's the same "completion works in PS7 but not WinPS" family as #1355. Because startup no longer hangs, we don't need #2318's discovery-time `[SkippableFactOnWindowsPowerShell]` attribute anymore: an in-body `Skip.If(IsWindowsPowerShell, ...)` runs after `InitializeAsync` (which now starts the server fine) and skips before the broken code, so both tests skip cleanly in ~1ms under `powershell.exe` instead of hanging or failing. This also reverts my earlier timeout bump on `CanAttachScriptWithPathMappings` (back to the 15s/10s/30s budgets from `main`) since the bigger budgets didn't help and the test no longer runs on Windows PowerShell anyway.

…#2328) * Fix Windows PowerShell host-start hang in `SetCorrectExecutionPolicy` On recent in-box Windows PowerShell 5.1 servicing builds, the language and debug servers intermittently hang on startup and ride the CI job timeout (#2323). The wedge is `SetCorrectExecutionPolicy`: it calls `Microsoft.PowerShell.Security\Get-ExecutionPolicy -List`, which autoloads `Microsoft.PowerShell.Security` into the freshly created runspace. That runspace's `InitialSessionState` is reused from the host runspace and already carries the module's `ObjectSecurity` type data, so re-binding it throws "The member `AuditToString` is already present". `PsesInternalHost.Run()` catches it, faults `_started`, and the pipeline thread exits — but `TryStartAsync` is still awaiting queued startup tasks that now never run, so it hangs forever. Configuring the execution policy is best-effort, so we wrap the `Get-ExecutionPolicy` query in try/catch (mirroring the existing `Set-ExecutionPolicy` handling just below it) and skip policy configuration when it fails, rather than letting a type-data hiccup abort host startup. I also guard the subsequent indexing against a short result list. With the hang fixed we no longer need the in-box Windows PowerShell E2E skips added in #2318, so this reverts them: the `SkippableFactOnWindowsPowerShell` attributes, the `LSPTestsFixture` early-return, and the two attribute files. The DAP suite passes clean under `powershell.exe`. Three LSP help tests (`Expand-Archive` synopsis) still fail locally on my older servicing build (.8655); they pass under `pwsh`, so I'm letting CI judge them on its build rather than re-skipping. The `ci-test.yml` job timeout from #2318 stays as a backstop. Drafted by Copilot (Claude Opus 4.8).

If an `OnInitialize` delegate throws, the handler faults before signaling, nothing errors the subject, and `From()` -- and thus `PsesDebugServer.StartAsync()` -- awaits it forever. So a startup failure wedges the entire debug server and rides the CI/job timeout instead of failing fast. This is a library limitation, not our bug: the same code is present on the library's `master`, so we can't fix it upstream without a fork or upgrade. #2328 fixes the specific trigger we hit on in-box Windows PowerShell (the `Get-ExecutionPolicy -List` type-data conflict), but the wedge mechanism is generic. Guard against any future `OnInitialize` failure: wrap the delegate body, log the exception, and signal `_serverStopped` so `WaitForShutdown` unblocks and the process exits cleanly. `Dispose`'s `_serverStopped` completion is now idempotent (`TrySetResult`) since the catch may have already completed it. This converts a silent multi-hour hang into a clean termination with a logged error -- the client sees the session end instead of waiting forever. See #2323. Drafted by Copilot (Claude Opus 4.8).

What
CanAttachScriptWithPathMappings(added in #2251) started hanging the Windows leg of CI for hours, riding GitHub's 6-hour default job timeout without ever throwing.This PR is a stopgap, not the real fix:
windows-latestleg can complete again.The underlying in-box attach deadlock is tracked by #2323.
Root cause — a
windows-latestrunner-image refreshThis is not a code regression in PSES. By comparing the last green and first red
mainruns:#2304) ran on imagewin25-vs2026/20260608.135.#2303) and every red after it ran on image20260614.141.Same image family, same runner (
2.335.1), same-PreviewPowerShell. The only thing that changed at the boundary is the weekly OS-servicing patch in the image. That refresh broke in-box Windows PowerShell 5.1's cross-processDebug-Runspace/Enter-PSHostProcessattach, which is exactly what this test exercises. The precise servicing delta (likely a .NET Framework / Windows IPC update) is still unknown and is the subject of #2323.The hang is specifically the in-box Windows PowerShell E2E suite (
TestE2EPowerShell). PowerShell Core (TestE2EPwsh) and the preview pass the same attach test, so the skip is scoped toIsWindowsPowerShell(covering the WinPS and WinPS-CLM suites) and Core / preview / macOS / Linux keep full coverage of the attach path.Why #2303 is not the cause
An earlier per-commit bisection fingered #2303 (the strong-name identity change), but that was confounded: #2303 happened to be the first merge onto the new image, so the image bump and the code change moved together. Two independent proofs exonerate it:
PsesLoadContext.cs(the file Match strong-name identity when resolving PSES dependencies #2303 touched) is<Compile Remove>'d fornet462and uses the Core-onlyAssemblyLoadContext. In-box WinPS 5.1 loadsbin/Desktop/(net462), so Match strong-name identity when resolving PSES dependencies #2303's code isn't even compiled into the hanging configuration.#2303 is left intact.
Follow-up
Stopgap for #2323. Once the real in-box attach fix lands, the
Skip.Ifhere should be removed; thetimeout-minutesbackstop can stay as a permanent guard.
