react-native-paper ProgressBar hangs detox indefinitely

[ianspektor]

What happened?

One of my screens renders an indeterminate ProgressBar (i.e. <ProgressBar indeterminate/>). When reaching that screen, detox pauses indefinitely (until the test times out) printing this message every couple of seconds:

19:36:27.642 detox[8754] i The app is busy with the following tasks:
• 1 enqueued native timers:
  - Timer #1:
    + Fire date: none.
    + Time until fire: 0.000.
    + Repeat interval: 0.
    + Is recurring: YES.
• Run loop "Main Run Loop" is awake.
• There are 1 work items pending on the dispatch queue: "Main Queue (<OS_dispatch_queue_main: com.apple.main-thread>)".

The test runs normally if I comment out the ProgressBar component before running it.

Happens with both react-native-paper v 4 and 5.

What was the expected behaviour?

Detox to interpret the indeterminate progress bar as something it doesn't need to wait for.

Was it tested on latest Detox?

• [X] I have tested this issue on the latest Detox release and it still reproduces.

Did your test throw out a timeout?

• [X] I have followed the instructions under Identifying which synchronization mechanism causes us to wait too much.

Help us reproduce this issue!

I might be able to spare some time in the weekend to set up a small example to reproduce this if needed.

In what environment did this happen?

Detox version: 20.13.5 React Native version: 0.72.0 Has Fabric (React Native's new rendering system) enabled: no Node version: 18 Device model: iPhone 14 simulator iOS version: 16.4 macOS version: Sonoma 14.0 Xcode version: 15.0.1 Test-runner (select one): jest

@ianspektor did you figure out the root cause?

[mwmcode]

I had an animation that was not stopped properly which was causing this error. So maybe pass indeterminate={!ENV_IS_TESTING} -- not ideal, but not sure how we can tell Detox to ignore waiting for animation

@mwmcode Seems like a decent workaround tbh! Will give it a try :) Thanks!
