Problem

This file aborts the whole test client on the Codecov job. Run 31730148235:

[err]: CLUSTER SYNCSLOTS ESTABLISH command interface in tests/unit/cluster/cluster-migrateslots.tcl
Migration effc0eb7d1f42f09d1a28384798c2c9795be1784 on node 0 did not have state == waiting-for-paused
(currently ... create_time 1786645569 last_update_time 1786645569 last_ack_time 1786645593
 state receiving-snapshot ...)
[exception]: Executing test client: ERR I am already migrating slot 16383..

cluster-migrateslots.tcl:1540 waited for the import to reach waiting-for-paused, which requires the source to finish its snapshot. Under gcov that took 24s, past the wait budget.

The fail then aborted the test before its CLUSTER CANCELSLOTMIGRATIONS on line 1542, leaving node 2 exporting 16383. The next test's MIGRATESLOTS is rejected by clusterIsSlotExporting() (cluster_migrateslots.c:1183), and a server error is a Tcl exception rather than an assertion, so it kills the test client and every test after it. Same cascade @murphyjacob4 described in #2692.

Fix

The assertion being guarded only needs the import job to exist: clusterIsSlotImporting() (cluster_migrateslots.c:494-505) skips only finished jobs, so receiving-snapshot already rejects a duplicate ESTABLISH. Wait for registration instead of a state.

Raising the wait budget is the tempting alternative. It loses: @rainsupreme measured a blanket 3x budget in #4153 with no change in failure rate, and the same stall has been seen past 60s.

Testing

./runtest --single unit/cluster/cluster-migrateslots: 137 passed before and after.

To prove the weaker wait still guards the assertion, I temporarily pinned the import in receiving-snapshot (rdb-key-save-delay 100000 plus 50 keys on the source), asserted that state, and confirmed the duplicate ESTABLISH still errors. Passed, then removed the scaffold.

This fixes one of at least five failing signatures in this file, so #4153 stays open. The most frequent one, AOF maintains consistency through many migrations, runs 120 migrations in 10.2s locally, ~85ms against a 10s per-wait budget, so its CI failures are not marginal slowness and this change does nothing for them.

This was generated by AI but verified, with love, by a human.

The test waited for the import job to reach waiting-for-paused, which
requires the source to finish its snapshot. The assertion it guards only
needs the import job to exist, since clusterIsSlotImporting() rejects a
duplicate ESTABLISH for any unfinished import. Wait for registration
instead, so the test no longer depends on snapshot timing.

When the wait timed out it aborted the test before its
CANCELSLOTMIGRATIONS, leaving an active export that made every later
test in the file die with "ERR I am already migrating slot 16383".

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The cluster migration tests now synchronize on migration registration, support configurable migration wait limits, and clean up configuration and active migrations after long-snapshot test failures.

Changes

Migration test reliability

Layer / File(s) Summary
Registration synchronization and configurable waits
tests/unit/cluster/cluster-migrateslots.tcl
Adds polling for registered, non-terminal migrations. Makes migration retries configurable. Updates the already-importing test to use registration synchronization.
Long-snapshot migration cleanup
tests/unit/cluster/cluster-migrateslots.tcl
Delays source snapshotting, permits a 120-second migration wait, captures assertion failures, restores settings, cancels active migrations, and rethrows failures.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f391c

The test cleanup can return before migration cancellation finishes, allowing the next test to encounter stale migration state and fail spuriously. Merge readiness is moderate until cleanup waits for cancellation to reach a terminal state or the bounded risk is explicitly accepted.

Align the migration schema with the runtime reply.

clusterCommandGetSlotMigrations emits the identifier as name, and get_migration_by_name correctly reads name. Update src/commands/cluster-getslotmigrations.json to declare name instead of link_name.

Another deflake PR. The Codecov job failure is annoying, but just adding retries or sleeps in the test client is a fragile way of fixing synchronization. We should fix the race condition in CLUSTER SYNCSLOTS itself if it's not responding in time.

The Codecov job on the previous commit failed in a new way (run
31755827666): "Migration not cancelled when snapshot takes more time
than repl-timeout" timed out its 10s wait_for_migration under gcov.
The fail skipped the test's trailing config resets, so
rdb-key-save-delay 100000 leaked into "Restart target primary during
migration (without save)", whose ~666 key snapshot then needed ~66
seconds (its job was still snapshotting 31s in, at almost exactly
100ms per key). That wait failed too, leaving an active export, and
the next iteration's MIGRATESLOTS aborted the whole test client with
"ERR I am already migrating slot 16300".

Fix the test three ways:
- Set rdb-key-save-delay on node 0 instead of node 2. Node 0 is the
  source of the migration and runs the snapshot, so the test was
  vacuous: the snapshot finished in milliseconds and never outlived
  the 2 second repl-timeout it is meant to challenge. With the delay
  on the right node the test takes the designed 5+ seconds locally
  (299ms -> 5390ms) and still passes. The delay set on node 2 did
  nothing for this test, but leaking it is what poisoned the restart
  test, whose source is node 2.
- Budget the completion wait for the designed 5 second snapshot plus
  instrumentation overhead (120s) instead of the default 10s.
- Restore the configs and cancel any leftover migration even when the
  test fails (catch + return -options, since CI and macOS Tcl 8.5
  have no try/finally), so a timeout stays a single-test failure
  instead of cascading into aborting the file. Verified by forcing
  the wait to fail with a 100ms budget: the test fails alone and all
  136 other tests in the file still pass.

Also harden wait_for_migration_registered to require the job to be
live rather than merely present. A job in a terminal state stops
guarding its slots (clusterIsSlotImporting skips finished jobs), so
the duplicate ESTABLISH would be accepted instead of rejected, and
the accepted ESTABLISH would turn the test client connection into the
import feed and hang the suite.

Wait for cancellation to reach a terminal state before rethrowing.

Line 2003 only submits CLUSTER CANCELSLOTMIGRATIONS. The test returns immediately after that command. Cancellation propagates asynchronously to the import node. The next test can start while the target still has a live import job and reject new migrations.

If $errcode is set and $jobname exists, wait until both migration records are terminal after cancellation. Preserve the original failure if cleanup polling also fails.
