Description

Main version of #20139, with the same diff. main has the same run_client_tests() code, so main QA runs from a shared checkout can hit the same race. On main, test_disaggregated_mixed runs Qwen3-0.6B instead of TinyLlama.

Problem. On release/1.3, test_disaggregated_mixed[TinyLlama-1.1B-Chat-v1.0] failed on B300 in QA LLM_FUNCTION_CLUSTER_TEST build 1937 (nvbugs/6899682). The error was Expected string 'The capital of Germany is Berlin' not found in output.json. The test's own client log shows correct answers in all 8 client runs. The output.json it checked holds completions from a different model.

Root cause. run_client_tests() let disagg_client.py write output.json, output_streaming.json and the chat outputs into the pytest cwd, and read them back from there. QA runs its test splits concurrently on many nodes, all from one checkout on shared storage, so they share that cwd. In build 1937, test_disaggregated_deepseek_v3_lite_bf16_tllm_gen_helix ran its client phase on another node at the same time. One completion in the failing output.json is identical, character for character, to one the helix client logged.

Only the TinyLlama test fails, because the DeepSeek check accepts the TinyLlama answers. A rerun on a single node cannot reproduce the failure, because no other test writes to its cwd.

Fix.

  • run_client_tests() takes a required client_output_dir, and writes and checks every client output there. run_disaggregated_test() passes its work_dir, a fresh tempfile.mkdtemp() directory per test.
  • Remove cleanup_output_files(). It deleted output.json and output_streaming.json from the shared cwd, which could break another test's check with a FileNotFoundError. None of its callers read those files.

Test Coverage

The GPU runs below used an earlier revision of #20139 on release/1.3 that behaves the same as the final code; only the parameter name, the docstring and local variables differ. Two B300 nodes ran pytest from one cwd on shared storage, as QA does, with the release/1.3 LLM_DOCKER_IMAGE (…-19345) and the release/1.3 L0_PostMerge build 27 wheel (14772f4).

Scenario Before After
test_disaggregated_mixed while a helper rewrites output*.json in the cwd every 0.1 s with the DeepSeek output from build 1937 Failed with the QA assertion Passed
Node A loops test_disaggregated_mixed; node B runs the DeepSeek-V3-Lite helix test 3 times; same cwd 1 of 8 mixed runs failed with the QA assertion; its output.json held the real DeepSeek output. All 3 helix runs passed. All 7 mixed runs and all 3 helix runs passed. Nothing was written to the shared cwd.

With the fix, test_disaggregated_overlap_transceiver_runtime_python (checks output_chat.json), test_disaggregated_chat_completion_tool_calls and test_disaggregated_diff_max_tokens also pass on B300.

In the previous CI run on this PR (L0_MergeRequest_PR 63818), all single-GPU disaggregated tests passed on A10 and H100, including the Qwen3-0.6B expected strings. pre-commit is clean.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Dev Engineer Review

  • The supplied diff changes formatting in tests/integration/defs/disaggregated/test_disaggregated.py and removes a redundant f-string. It does not implement client output isolation or remove cleanup_output_files().
  • The shared-output race therefore remains unaddressed in the supplied changes.
  • No current review findings were supplied. Review severity counts are unavailable.

QA Engineer Review

  • The change modifies no test functions, test IDs, selectors, waivers, or test-list entries. Existing disaggregated tests appear in QA and CI lists.
  • The supplied changes add no regression test for client output isolation. Coverage verdict: needs follow-up.
  • The PR context reports two CI pipelines with FAILURE; test results for the supplied diff are unavailable.

Per-File QA Perspective

  • tests/integration/defs/disaggregated/test_disaggregated.py — This test-code file contains formatting and logging-string cleanup only. It does not alter observable test behavior or add coverage for output isolation; existing tests from this file appear in QA and CI lists.

Walkthrough

Disaggregated client outputs are now written and verified under a supplied directory. The disaggregated test passes its run directory to the client test runner. The cleanup function and calls that removed client output files from the current directory were removed.

Changes

run_client_tests writes completion, streaming, and chat outputs under client_output_dir and verifies files from that directory. run_disaggregated_test passes work_dir. The cleanup function and its calls in the aiperf, mixed-stress, and cancellation runners were removed.

40-80: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Exercise run_disaggregated_test in the isolation test.

The test calls run_client_tests directly with the expected directory. It does not test the caller that must forward work_dir. If that caller regresses to pass the shared working directory, this test can still pass. Stub cluster setup and invoke run_disaggregated_test so the forwarding path is covered.

…r test

run_client_tests() let disagg_client.py write output.json,
output_streaming.json and the chat outputs into the pytest cwd, then
read them back from there. QA runs its test splits as concurrent
one-node jobs from one checkout on shared storage, so another test can
overwrite these files between the client run and the check. In
release/1.3 QA build 1937, the DeepSeek-V3-Lite helix test overwrote
the output.json of test_disaggregated_mixed[TinyLlama-1.1B-Chat-v1.0].
That test then failed, although its own responses were correct.

run_client_tests() now takes a required client_output_dir, and writes
and checks every client output there. run_disaggregated_test() passes
its per-test work_dir.

Remove cleanup_output_files(). It deleted these files from the shared
cwd when the aiperf, mixed-stress and cancel tests started, and none of
those tests read them.
