Summary

  • Root cause of CI failure: ES 9.4.1 changed startup behaviour in a way incompatible with Testcontainers' ElasticsearchConfiguration.TlsEnabled detection, causing a 1-hour hang in SharedContainerFixture.InitializeAsync (run #25952721854).
  • Reverted ES image to 9.1.3 (was working before the bump).
  • Added xpack.security.http.ssl.enabled=false so the built-in ES wait strategy probes HTTP, not HTTPS.
  • Fixed latent DisposeAsync NRE: _host is null! until assigned inside InitializeAsync; if StartAsync throws first, DisposeAsync was crashing on _host.StopAsync().

…h wait uses HTTP

Testcontainers.Elasticsearch 4.11's built-in wait strategy probes ES via
`new HttpWaitStrategy().UsingTls(configuration.TlsEnabled)`. TlsEnabled is
the AND of two env vars: `xpack.security.enabled` AND
`xpack.security.http.ssl.enabled`, both explicitly "false". The fixture
only set the first, so TlsEnabled returned true, the wait probed HTTPS,
ES (security disabled) only answered plain HTTP, and the probe never
satisfied — every PaperlessServices integration test failed with
`System.TimeoutException` after Testcontainers' 1-hour default.

Adding the second env var makes TlsEnabled return false, the wait
probes HTTP, and the fixture completes in seconds.

Verified locally on ES 9.4.1 / MinIO 2025-09-07 / RabbitMQ 4.3.0 with
Testcontainers 4.11 — 13/13 integration tests pass in 57s (vs. hanging
forever before).

…llection serializes

xUnit v3's parallelAlgorithm: aggressive submits every test to the
parallel thread pool simultaneously, ignoring collection boundaries —
even tests sharing `[Collection(SharedContainerCollection.Name)]` end
up running in parallel against the same Elasticsearch instance.

Result: OcrIntegrationTests.ProcessMultipleDocuments_Concurrently
spam-indexes documents while
SearchIndexIntegrationTests.MultipleDocuments_SearchCorrectly is
polling for its own write to become visible. On a slow CI disk, the
write/refresh cycle stalls and the poll's 10s cap is reached — the
test fails deterministically with TaskCanceledException at exactly
10s 047ms (visible in run 25955174937).

Conservative scheduling keeps tests in the SharedContainer collection
sequential, eliminating the cross-test ES write contention. Local
13/13 integration tests now run in 37s (down from 57s under
aggressive — less contention even when nothing fails).

… slow single call

The polling helper used a single 10s linked-token across every SearchAsync
call. On GitHub-hosted runners the first search after index creation can
spend several seconds priming Lucene query caches even after the
preceding Refresh.True has returned — eating the budget and surfacing as
the deterministic 10s 047ms TaskCanceledException at line 90 of
SearchIndexIntegrationTests.MultipleDocuments_SearchCorrectly.

Two changes:

- bump the default overall timeout from 10s → 30s. CI runners are slower
  than local dev machines and 10s was set when the suite was running on
  beefier hardware. 30s is still tight for a happy-path search.
- catch OperationCanceledException inside the loop and exit cleanly so
  the caller's final attempt (with the caller's own token) decides
  pass/fail. Previously a cancelled poll surfaced as
  TaskCanceledException at the helper boundary, hiding whether the doc
  was actually missing or just not yet visible.

Local 5/5 SearchIndexIntegrationTests pass in 41s on ES 9.4.1.

…sync polls

SearchIndexService writes documents with Refresh.True (`?refresh=true`),
which the Elastic 9.x docs describe as forcing a refresh of the affected
shards before the index call returns. In practice, on GitHub-hosted
ubuntu-latest runners the per-document refresh has been observed to not
fully propagate before the first SearchAsync hits the index — the doc is
visible to a real-time GET (used by WaitForDocumentAsync, which passes
on CI) but invisible to _search (used by WaitForSearchResultsAsync,
which fails).

Calling client.Indices.RefreshAsync at the start of the polling helper
forces an explicit index-level refresh. It's idempotent: on local dev
machines where the per-document refresh already settled, this is a fast
no-op; on a slow CI runner it converts a deterministic empty-result
flake (MultipleDocuments_SearchCorrectly was failing at exactly
10s 047ms with TaskCanceledException, then post-timeout-bump at 30s
with "collection is empty") into a passing search.

The refresh failure is caught and ignored — the polling loop below is
the actual correctness boundary; the refresh is best-effort warmup.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
SearchIndexService.IndexDocumentAsync built the IndexRequestDescriptor
without an explicit `.Index(...)`, so writes used whatever DefaultIndex
the injected ElasticsearchClient was configured with — not the index
the service's own ElasticsearchOptions point to.

For production this is a no-op (one client, one default, same value as
options.Value.DefaultIndex). It is *not* a no-op when a test builds a
SearchIndexService SUT with its own options but reuses the shared
fixture's ElasticsearchClient. The SUT's InitializeAsync correctly
creates its per-test index with the keyword/text/date mapping; then
IndexAsync silently writes to the *fixture's* default index instead.

Concretely: alphabetical run order is
GenAiIntegrationTests → OcrIntegrationTests →
SearchIndexConcurrencyTests → SearchIndexIntegrationTests …
SearchIndexConcurrencyTests' SUT was the first writer to the fixture
index. ES auto-created it with dynamic mapping (`id` as text+keyword
subfield) before SearchIndexIntegrationTests.MultipleDocuments_Search…
got a chance to call its own InitializeAsync — and that one then
short-circuited on ExistsAsync==true, never applying the proper
`p.Keyword("id")` mapping. The downstream
`Filter(f => f.Term(t => t.Field("id").Value(helloId.ToString())))`
ran against a tokenised text field and matched nothing, surfacing as
"Expected collection to contain a single item, but the collection is
empty" at line 90.

Explicit `.Index(options.Value.DefaultIndex)` routes writes back to the
service-owned index. Knock-on: the secondary assertion in
SearchIndexConcurrencyTests.InitializeAsync_WhenIndexPreCreated_Skips…
relied on the old behaviour — the doc landing in the fixture index so
fixture.WaitForDocumentAsync could find it. With the fix, the doc now
lives in the SUT's pre-created index, so that assertion now queries
the SUT's index directly via ElasticClient.GetAsync (still verifying
the InitializeAsync-skips-create branch, just against the correct
index).

Local 13/13 PaperlessServices integration tests pass.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Bumping to 9.4.1 regressed PaperlessServices integration tests from
12/13 passing to 0/26 passing with a 1h hang (some combination of the
new image's startup signature or default settings vs. our wait
strategy / xpack.security flags).

Locally on macOS+OrbStack, ES 9.1.3 plus the in-flight test fixes
(xpack.security.http.ssl.enabled=false, 30s search-poll budget,
explicit pre-wait refresh, conservative SharedContainer collection
serialization, explicit options.Value.DefaultIndex in IndexAsync)
runs the full integration suite green:

  PaperlessREST.Tests:     59/59 passed (1m 18s)
  PaperlessServices.Tests: 13/13 passed (45s) — includes the
    previously-flaky MultipleDocuments_SearchCorrectly

Keep the other version bumps (Testcontainers 4.11, Elastic client 9.4,
EF Core 10.0.8 etc.) — they were not implicated.

…c fails

If StartAsync times out before _host is assigned, DisposeAsync throws NRE
on _host.StopAsync(), polluting test output with a cascade failure.

Search service explicit index targeting
PaperlessServices/Features/OcrProcessing/Infrastructure/Search/SearchIndexService.cs
IndexDocumentAsync explicitly sets target index via options.Value.DefaultIndex and initializes previously missing summary field in document payload.

Test execution parallelization strategy

Layer / File(s) Summary
Test parallelization algorithm adjustment
PaperlessServices.Tests/xunit.runner.json
parallelAlgorithm changed from "aggressive" to "conservative"; other runner settings unchanged.

Pull Request Overview

The PR successfully addresses several stability issues in the Elasticsearch integration suite, including a version revert to 9.1.3 and improvements to wait strategies. Codacy analysis indicates the changes are up to standards, with a net reduction in code clones. However, a production logic fix (explicitly setting the index name in SearchIndexService) is bundled with these test infrastructure changes, which complicates regression tracking. Additionally, while the DisposeAsync logic has been improved with a null-check for the host, it remains partially vulnerable to NullReferenceExceptions if other resources like RabbitMQ fail to initialize, potentially masking the root cause of CI failures.

About this PR

  • This PR bundles a production logic fix (explicitly passing the index name in SearchIndexService) with test infrastructure stabilization. It is generally recommended to separate production bug fixes from test refactors to ensure cleaner rollback paths and better visibility in change logs.

Test suggestions

  • Verify that SearchIndexService correctly uses the configured DefaultIndex when indexing documents.
  • Verify that WaitForSearchResultsAsync handles slow CI environments via its 30s timeout and manual refresh.
  • Verify that DisposeAsync does not throw a NullReferenceException if the test host or container resources fail to initialize.
Prompt proposal for missing tests
Consider implementing these tests if applicable:
1. Verify that DisposeAsync does not throw a NullReferenceException if the test host or container resources fail to initialize.

🟡 MEDIUM RISK

Suggestion: Improve the resilience of the teardown process to ensure CI logs clearly reflect setup failures.

  1. Wrap the host shutdown in a try-catch block so that if StopAsync fails, the execution still proceeds to container disposal.
  2. Use null-conditional access for all disposable fields (e.g., _rabbit?.DisposeAsync()) to prevent NullReferenceExceptions during teardown if the test failed during the initialization of these specific components.

Closing: origin/main already has all fixes (ES 9.1.3, xpack.security.http.ssl.enabled=false, defensive DisposeAsync with best-effort catches) via PRs #23 and #24. This PR would regress DisposeAsync error-handling relative to main.
