Summary

Running with more workers than the cloud account's concurrency (e.g. workers: 3 on a concurrency-1 mobilenext account) failed every test. Reproduced on milliways: 0/17 passed, 16 tests died in 4 seconds with 429 concurrency_limit, the remaining one hit the test timeout while the device was still provisioning.

Four fixes, each with a failing test written first:

  • driver-mobilenext: fleet 429 concurrency_limit now throws NoDeviceAvailableError, so the pool re-queues the worker until a device frees up (same contract mobilecli already follows) instead of failing the test.
  • device-pool: a slot granted to a worker that died while queued (test timeout, crash, Ctrl-C) was never released, because the close listener was attached after the socket had already closed. Every later worker then queued forever. The pool now releases immediately when the response is already destroyed. HttpDevicePoolClient.allocate accepts an AbortSignal so a caller that gives up tears its request down.
  • timeouts: new use.allocationTimeout (default 15 min) covers queue wait + cloud provisioning on its own clock. The device fixture no longer runs on the test timeout, so a long Sauce/BrowserStack/mobilenext queue cannot eat the test body's budget. installTimeout now defaults to 60s instead of unbounded. Pool and fleet client follow the same value.
  • driver-mobilenext: disconnect() waited for a close handshake a dead peer never answers; on a network drop that held fixture teardown for ~16 min (OS TCP timeout). Now bounded by a 5s grace timer that terminates the socket.

Docs and README updated for the new and changed timeouts.

Verification

milliways iOS suite, PROVIDER=mobilenext, workers: 3, concurrency-1 account:

before after
passed 0/17 12/17
429 errors 16 0
test timeouts 1 0
fleet allocations 1 1

The 5 remaining failures are the four intentional "should fail" tests plus pinch not being implemented in driver-mobilenext (pre-existing).

Unit tests: device-pool 15/15, test 48/48, driver-mobilenext 95/95, tsc -b clean. The 28 failures in packages/mobilewright/src/config.test.ts fail identically on main.

Not in this PR

With workers > concurrency, each test completion still triggers one 429 probe per queued worker. Harmless, but the pool could remember the cap. Follow-up.

Walkthrough

The change adds 60-second install and 15-minute allocation timeout defaults. Device allocation now supports abort signals and cleans up disconnected clients. Fixtures apply allocation timeouts separately from test timeouts. MobileNext maps HTTP 429 allocation responses to NoDeviceAvailableError. RpcClient.disconnect() now terminates stalled WebSocket connections after a grace period. Documentation and regression tests cover these changes.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 10826

A coordinator connection stall can leave test setup or teardown waiting beyond the configured timeout. Add a total request deadline before merging.

Start a total request deadline before request().

The node:http ClientRequest.setTimeout() timeout starts only after a socket is assigned and connected. A stalled DNS lookup or TCP connection can exceed requestTimeout. The release, isAppInstalled, and recordAppInstalled calls can therefore remain pending. This can stall fixture setup or teardown because packages/test/src/fixtures.ts awaits these calls and has no outer timeout for them.

Start a timer or AbortSignal before request(), and clear it when the request settles.
