Description

The scanner tests are currently pretty slow to run, as they wait for 4 seconds before running the scanner due to the update rate. This can be overridden in tests, which considerably speeds them up.

How Has This Been Tested?

Tests pass.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds runWithMockTimers and uses it in Jellyfin, Radarr, and Sonarr scanner tests. The helper advances mocked timers until each scanner promise settles, then restores timer state.

Changes

Scanner test timer control

Layer / File(s) Summary
Mocked timer runner
server/test/runWithMockTimers.ts
Adds runWithMockTimers with configurable timer advancement, settlement tracking, bounded polling, promise result propagation, and timer reset.
Scanner test adoption
server/lib/scanners/jellyfin/jellyfin.test.ts, server/lib/scanners/radarr/radarr.test.ts, server/lib/scanners/sonarr/sonarr.test.ts
Runs scanner test cases through runWithMockTimers for status handling, orphan cleanup, and orphaned request scenarios. Assertions remain unchanged.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 2e980

The test timing helper may finish before the final asynchronous callback runs, which could cause intermittent or misleading test results. The risk is limited to test execution and is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or a follow-up fix.

Poem

A rabbit makes the mock clocks run,
Each scanner test now ticks in time.
Jellyfin, Radarr, Sonarr hop,
Promises settle, timers stop.
The helper resets when tests are done.

setTestOverrides can mutate these fields internally, and the existing getters already expose read-only access to subclasses. Making them protected lets subclasses bypass validation and assign invalid values directly.

Validate override values before mutating scanner state.

Imo, no need to widen these. setTestOverrides is a method on this class, it already has access to the private fields. Widening also makes protectedBundleSize/protectedUpdateRate below redundant for subclasses, now there's two ways to read the same state.

This is a public, unguarded mutator on a class with live singleton instances (radarrScanner, sonarrScanner, jellyfinFullScanner). Nothing stops it from being called outside tests, unlike protectedBundleSize/protectedUpdateRate above which are read-only. I'd rather drop the source change and use mock.timers in the three test files instead since mock is already imported there for mock.method, so mock.timers.enable() + mock.timers.tick(this.updateRate) gets the same speedup and with the added bonus of zero production code changes.

Lowkey didn't realize the Node test runner supported mock timers. I will just go with that, should be a lot simpler.

Same concern as stated below. Would rather see mock.timers.enable({ apis: ['setTimeout'] }) in beforeEach and a mock.timers.tick(4000) after triggering the scan, gets the same speedup without touching baseScanner.ts. One tick covers everything currently mocked in this file and bundleSize is 50 (20 for Jellyfin) and nothing here mocks more than a handful of items. So this only needs repeating if a test starts mocking more than a bundle's worth.

@fallenbagel fallenbagel added this to the v3.5.0 milestone Aug 12, 2026
Reverts the production change to baseScanner.ts and instead drives the
scanner's update delay with node:test mock timers via a shared
runWithMockTimers helper. Also reorders the sonarr scanner import after
the getTvShow mock so the mock takes effect (the scanner's tmdb instance
is created at module load, so the prototype mock was being shadowed by
the instance field, causing real TMDB network calls).

Pull request overview

This PR speeds up scanner unit tests by using node:test mock timers to advance the scanners’ internal update-delay (setTimeout) without waiting in real time.

Changes:

  • Added a runWithMockTimers helper to enable and drive mocked timers until an async operation completes.
  • Updated Sonarr, Radarr, and Jellyfin scanner tests to run scanner .run() calls under mocked timers to avoid real 4s delays.

Sonarr was being imported before the getTvShow mock which caused it to not work. Moved it here so the mock actually applies.

server/test/runWithMockTimers.ts:6

  • runWithMockTimers takes an already-created Promise, but callers currently pass scanner.run() directly. Since scanner.run() begins executing immediately, any setTimeout scheduled synchronously before the helper enables mock timers would use real timers (making tests flaky/slow and the helper less future-proof). A more robust pattern is to accept a () => Promise<T> factory (and call it after mock.timers.enable).
export async function runWithMockTimers<T>(
  runPromise: Promise<T>,
  tickMs = 4000
): Promise<T> {

Flush promise callbacks before applying the guard.

If the final mock.timers.tick(tickMs) settles runPromise, its .finally() callback can run after the loop exits. Yield once before the guard check, then re-check settled.

@michaelhthomas can you add one more flush before the check? settled lags a microtask behind the tick that resolves it .finally() is a microtask. If the resolving tick lands on the last iteration, the loop exits before the next flush and this throws a false negative.

Takes an already-invoked Promise instead of a factory. Its fine as it is for now since setTimeout in loop() only fires after several awaits, but every call site falls back to real timers silently if that ever changes or accidentally forgets to add. runPromise: () => Promise<T>, and call it after enable()
