[Bug] Can't run the tests of UpdateMethod

[agpopov]

Hello, I want to test UpdateMethod in workflow. But I get an error:

AssertionError: assert($result !== null)
/var/www/html/vendor/temporal/sdk/src/Client/Update/UpdateHandle.php:128
/var/www/html/vendor/temporal/sdk/src/Client/Update/UpdateHandle.php:89
/var/www/html/vendor/temporal/sdk/src/Client/Update/UpdateHandle.php:75
/var/www/html/vendor/temporal/sdk/src/Internal/Client/WorkflowProxy.php:112
/var/www/html/tests/Workflows/UploadFileWorkflowTest.php:83

At the same time, the signal and jquery tests are working fine.

Here is the test code:

public function testCanSaveFileData(): void
    {
        $this->testService->lockTimeSkipping();

        $arguments = [
            'path' => $this->faker()->filePath(),
            'original_name' => $this->faker()->word(),
            'extension' => $this->faker()->fileExtension(),
            'size' => $this->faker()->numberBetween(),
            'is_image' => $this->faker()->boolean(),
        ];

        $file = File::factory()->make($arguments);

        $workflow = $this->workflowClient->newWorkflowStub(UploadFileWorkflow::class);
        $run = $this->workflowClient->start($workflow);

        $this->assertEquals(WorkflowExecutionStatus::Running, $run->describe()->info->status);

        $result = $workflow->saveTempFileData(new SaveFileDataArguments($arguments));

        $this->assertEquals($file->id, $run->describe()->info->searchAttributes->getValue('FileId'));
        $this->assertEquals($file->toArray(), $result['data']);

        $this->testService->unlockTimeSkipping();
    }

I tried calling UpdateMethod via update and startUpdate. the result is exactly the same

This situation can occur when the Workflow neither accepts nor rejects the Update due to:

• No available workers
• Workflow Task fails in the same tick

[agpopov]

Unfortunately, I've already checked this. The workers are running, and workflow is not crashing.

Here is the config:

version: "3"

rpc:
  listen: ${TEMPORAL_TESTING_HOST:-tcp://127.0.0.1:6001}

server:
  command: "php worker.php"

temporal:
  address: ${TEMPORAL_ADDRESS:-127.0.0.1:7233}
  activities:
    num_workers: 2

logs:
  level: info
  channels:
    server:
      mode: debug
      output: worker.log

kv:
  testing:
    driver: memory
    config:
      interval: 10

Here is the worker's code:

require 'vendor/autoload.php';
$app = require 'bootstrap/app.php';

$app->make(Kernel::class)->bootstrap();

$factory = WorkerFactory::create(
    rpc: new Goridge(Relay::create(config('testing.temporal.host'))),
    activityCache: RoadRunnerActivityInvocationCache::create()
);

$worker = $factory->newWorker(
    taskQueue: config('testing.temporal.queue'),
    interceptorProvider: new SimplePipelineProvider(
        app(InterceptorCollection::class)->toArray(),
    ),
);

$worker->registerWorkflowTypes(...config('orchestrator.temporal.workflows'));

foreach (config("orchestrator.temporal.activities", []) as $activityType) {
    $worker->registerActivity($activityType, fn(ReflectionClass $class) => app($class->getName()));
}

$factory->run();

error_log('stop worker');

$this->testService->lockTimeSkipping();

Are you using the Test Server? Does it already support updates?

[agpopov]

I use the TestService in the base TestCase class

 $temporalAddress = getenv('TEMPORAL_ADDRESS') ?: '127.0.0.1:7233';
 $this->testService = TestService::create($temporalAddress);

I'm running the test server through Environment

use Temporal\Testing\Environment;

require getcwd().'/vendor/autoload.php';

if (env('TEMPORAL_TESTING_ENABLED') === true) {
    $environment = Environment::create();
    $environment->start(
        rrCommand: './rr serve -d -c '.__DIR__.'/.rr.yaml -w '.__DIR__
    );
    register_shutdown_function(fn() => $environment->stop());
}

And how can I find out that the test server supports updates? I didn't find it in the documentation.

This is not in the documentation. The temporal-test-server is taken from the release artifacts of the JAVA SDK. You can track release notes and issues.

Try the dev-server. There is no timeskipping but it works with the most Temporal features

I'm also hitting the same (or similar) problem when trying to write some tests for updates on a workflow.

Looks like "test-server" has support for update: https://github.com/temporalio/sdk-java/issues/1742

I either hit a Temporal\Exception\DestructMemorizedInstanceException exception or if i disable the DestroyWorkflow process than I get a timeout.

I've added debug code to the Workflow update method which shows its working nicely, it just never gets returned.
