Callum Styan 321c2b8fce fix: fix flake in TestExecutorAutostartSkipsWhenNoProvisionersAvailable (#19478)
The flake here had two causes:
1. related to usage of time.Now() in MustWaitForProvisionersAvailable
and
2. the fact that UpdateProvisionerLastSeenAt can not use a time that is
further in the past than the current LastSeenAt time

Previously the test here was calling
`coderdtest.MustWaitForProvisionersAvailable` which was using `time.Now`
rather than the next tick time like the real `hasProvisionersAvailable`
function does. Additionally, when using `UpdateProvisionerLastSeenAt`
the underlying db query enforces that the time we're trying to set
`LastSeenAt` to cannot be older than the current value.

I was able to reliably reproduce the flake by executing both the
`UpdateProvisionerLastSeenAt` call and `tickCh <- next` in their own
goroutines, the former with a small sleep to reliably ensure we'd
trigger the autobuild before we set the `LastSeenAt` time. That's when I
also noticed that `coderdtest.MustWaitForProvisionersAvailable` was
using `time.Now` instead of the tick time. When I updated that function
to take in a tick time + added a 2nd call to
`UpdateProvisionerLastSeenAt` to set an original non-stale time, we
could then never get the test to pass because the later call to set the
stale time would not actually modify `LastSeenAt`. On top of that,
calling the provisioner daemons closer in the middle of the function
doesn't really do anything of value in this test.

**The fix for the flake is to keep the go routines, ensuring there would
be a flake if there was not a relevant fix, but to include the fix which
is to ensure that we explicitly wait for the provisioner to be stale
before passing the time to `tickCh`.**

Coder enables organizations to set up development environments in their public or private cloud infrastructure. Cloud development environments are defined with Terraform, connected through a secure high-speed Wireguard® tunnel, and automatically shut down when not used to save on costs. Coder gives engineering teams the flexibility to use the cloud for workloads most beneficial to them.

  • Define cloud development environments in Terraform
    • EC2 VMs, Kubernetes Pods, Docker Containers, etc.
  • Automatically shutdown idle resources to save on costs
  • Onboard developers in seconds instead of days

Quickstart

The most convenient way to try Coder is to install it on your local machine and experiment with provisioning cloud development environments using Docker (works on Linux, macOS, and Windows).

# First, install Coder
curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh

# Start the Coder server (caches data in ~/.cache/coder)
coder server

# Navigate to http://localhost:3000 to create your initial user,
# create a Docker template and provision a workspace

Install

The easiest way to install Coder is to use our install script for Linux and macOS. For Windows, use the latest ..._installer.exe file from GitHub Releases.

curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh

You can run the install script with --dry-run to see the commands that will be used to install without executing them. Run the install script with --help for additional flags.

See install for additional methods.

Once installed, you can start a production deployment with a single command:

# Automatically sets up an external access URL on *.try.coder.app
coder server

# Requires a PostgreSQL instance (version 13 or higher) and external access URL
coder server --postgres-url <url> --access-url <url>

Use coder --help to get a list of flags and environment variables. Use our install guides for a complete walkthrough.
