🌱 fix: nightly unit-test regression#21283
Conversation
Disable isolate mode in CI to prevent Vitest worker crashes when loading hundreds of split chunks. The bundle split in #21269 created many small chunks that cause memory exhaustion when isolate: true forces each test file to reload all modules in a fresh process. Trade-off: CI tests now share global state between test files (risking vi.stubGlobal cross-contamination #20256), but local dev keeps isolation.

Pull request overview
This PR addresses nightly unit-test failures (#21083) by changing the Vitest configuration to disable per-file isolation in CI, aiming to reduce memory pressure and avoid “Worker exited unexpectedly” crashes introduced after the bundle was split into many smaller chunks.
Changes:
- Disable
vitest.test.isolatewhenprocess.env.CIis set, while keeping isolation enabled for local runs. - Document the CI-specific rationale (memory exhaustion / worker crashes) alongside the config change.

[quality] Review — this is a workaround that reintroduces a bug the current comment explicitly documents (comment mode; self-approve blocked)
The 1-line diff is small, but read the two lines together:
// isolate: true ensures each test file runs in its own subprocess with a clean global environment,
// preventing vi.stubGlobal() cross-contamination between files (#20256). Disabled in CI to prevent
// worker crashes from excessive memory usage when loading hundreds of split chunks per test file (#21083)
isolate: process.env.CI ? false : true,The comment now literally says "in CI, we accept the vi.stubGlobal() cross-contamination bug from #20256 to work around #21083." That's a strict regression on the exact axis that CI is supposed to catch — a locally-passing test suite that flakes only in CI is worse than one that runs slowly in CI.
Concrete concerns:
1. #20256 is a real class of bug, not theoretical
The comment was added deliberately (probably after debugging pain) to prevent vi.stubGlobal() bleed between test files. In CI, tests now share a process, so any file that does vi.stubGlobal('fetch', ...) and forgets to vi.unstubAllGlobals() in afterEach will silently mutate state seen by later files. Test order will start mattering. This is exactly the class of flake that's hard to reproduce locally (where isolate: true still holds) and hard to diagnose in CI.
Quick grep before merging: rg -l 'stubGlobal|stubEnv' web/src — every file that uses these must have symmetric unstub* in afterEach. If any don't, they're time bombs under this config.
2. The real fix is upstream, not here
"Loading hundreds of split chunks per test file" during a unit test is itself a symptom — unit tests shouldn't be pulling in the whole bundle. Two likelier root causes:
coverage.all: truesomewhere forcing v8 to import every source file (the surrounding lines mentioncoverage.all— check its value).- Eager top-level imports in a widely-imported module (e.g., a barrel
index.tsthat transitively pulls in all cards/drilldowns). - Bundle-split rules in vite.config.ts (from #21269) whose
manualChunksfunction is being evaluated in the test transform path.
A vitest run with --reporter=verbose and NODE_OPTIONS='--max-old-space-size=8192 --heap-prof' would tell you which chunk is memory-heavy. That's a targeted fix; this PR is a shotgun.
3. If you must ship a workaround, better knobs exist
Try any of these instead, in order of preference:
pool: 'forks'+poolOptions.forks.singleFork: false, isolate: true: keeps isolation but uses cheaper fork boundaries instead of worker threads.- Reduce
maxThreads/maxWorkersto 2 in CI: caps concurrent memory instead of removing isolation entirely. The existing config already has athreads: { maxThreads: 1, minThreads: 1 }branch — is that branch actually being taken in CI? env.CIfileParallelism false:fileParallelism: process.env.CI ? false : true— runs files sequentially with isolation kept. Slower but not a correctness regression.
4. Also
- The 1-line ternary is fine syntactically but
isolate: process.env.CI !== undefined ? false : truewould be more resilient toCI=""(empty string is falsy → isolate stays true, which is probably not the intent). - Because CI now sees a different config than local, the workflow file should probably run vitest with
--run --reporter=default,junitand also validate the config diff isn't drifting further.

…age (partial fix for #21284) (#21290) PR #21283 set isolate:false in CI to avoid worker OOM (#21083), but that disables Vitest's per-file subprocess isolation. With 143 test files calling vi.stubGlobal (many at module scope), those stubs leak into subsequent files. vi.unstubAllGlobals() in setup.ts's afterAll runs only once per worker (end of shard) under isolate:false, not once per file, so cross-file contamination produced 1598 failures in Coverage Suite run #4339. Restore isolate:true unconditionally. The original OOM issue #21083 must be addressed via chunk-splitting tuning or a memory bump rather than by disabling test isolation.

…#21296) Update the afterAll comment in setup.ts to accurately describe the current isolate:true behaviour (afterAll runs once per FILE, correctly cleaning up vi.stubGlobal() stubs) and to warn that setting isolate:false causes afterAll to run only once per shard — the root cause of 1598 test failures in Coverage Suite run #4339. Root-cause summary for #21284: PR #21283 set isolate:process.env.CI?false:true to work around suspected OOM crashes from chunk-splitting (#21083). With isolate:false all test files in a shard share one Vitest worker process. vi.stubGlobal() calls made at module scope in one file leaked into every subsequent file; the afterAll vi.unstubAllGlobals() in setup.ts ran only once at the end of the shard, not once per file, so contamination accumulated. Restoring isolate:true (PR #21290, commit 0f81cb0) fixed the failures. This commit updates setup.ts to make that constraint explicit and to point future maintainers at the full explanation in vite.config.ts.
