Hey friends, We use single task execution as integration tests for some platform tasks we built as a team in the platform. We've been seeing "flakiness" in these tests and I looked a bit more into it today. It looks like the TaskIdentifier is used to create the single task execution, which means that there will be a conflict if 2 executions with the same task are launched https://github.com/flyteorg/flyteadmin/blob/master/pkg/manager/impl/execution_manager.go#L572 Does t hat sound right? We usually launch one task that will succeed and one that will fail, and collect the executions to validate the behaviour.

Yeah we trigger everything async, here is an example

async def test_generate_uri_persisted(self) -> None:
        partition = two_weeks_ago().strftime("%Y-%m-%d")
        execution = SdkRemoteHadesTaskReference.generate_uri(
            endpoint=TestHadesTasks.ENDPOINT_DAILY,
            partition=partition,
            uri_prefix="<file://test>",
            overwrite=False,
        )

        assert execution.error is not None
        assert execution.error.code == "USER:Persisted"
        assert execution.closure.phase == TestHadesTasks.FAILED


    async def test_generate_uri_overwrite(self) -> None:
        partition = two_weeks_ago().strftime("%Y-%m-%d")
        execution = SdkRemoteHadesTaskReference.generate_uri(
            endpoint=TestHadesTasks.ENDPOINT_DAILY,
            partition=partition,
            uri_prefix="<file://test>",
            overwrite=True,
        )

        assert execution.error is None
        assert execution.closure.phase == TestHadesTasks.SUCCEEDED
        assert execution.outputs.get("uri").startswith(
            "<file://test/di.golden.path.EndContentFactXT2/{}/>".format(partition)
        )

Yup

We can solve this by combining these individual tests for now, not sure how easy it could be to deal with this on flyteadmin

It should very easy to deal with on FlyteAdmin

Ah makes sense
