ci: run Rust builds and tests on Blacksmith testboxes by t3dotgg · Pull Request #36 · pingdotgg/ts-rust

t3dotgg · 2026-10-10T22:21:02Z

Builds and tests get passed around SSH hosts (zbook, alvin, cup2) by hand: syncing bins and scripts, taking host locks, fetching results. Blacksmith testboxes can run them on a warm cloud runner against the local tree instead.

This adds:

.github/workflows/testbox.yml: a testbox on blacksmith-32vcpu-ubuntu-2404 with the same setup as the Linux test job in ci.yml (Go pin source, the typescript package, Go), plus 1.93.0 and the edit-loop nightly. Sticky disks keep target/ and ~/.cargo/registry warm between testboxes. The workflow writes ~/testbox.env (test paths, TS_CARGO_JOBS=32, and TS_CARGO_CGROUP_ACTIVE=1 because the runner has no user systemd session).
scripts/goport/testbox.sh: warmup, run <cmd>, get, status, stop, list. run sources the env file and runs the command through blacksmith testbox run. An idle testbox stops after 15 minutes ($0.064/min list price).

scripts/goport/testbox.sh warmup
scripts/goport/testbox.sh run scripts/run-cargo-capped.sh build --release -p ts_goport --bins
scripts/goport/testbox.sh get target/release/tsgo ./tsgo

Proof: the workflow's validation run passes every setup step on this PR, and testbox.sh was run against a fake blacksmith CLI (warmup saves the ID and exits with the CLI's code on failure, run keeps argument boundaries, stop keeps a saved ID it did not stop).

workflow_dispatch only works once the file is on main, so the real end-to-end check (warmup, a release build, goport-tests.sh) runs after merge. This PR runs the workflow in validation mode (no testbox_id), which checks every setup step. Revision evidence (dbook-lan) and perf timing (mini-743d) stay where they are for now.

Note

Add Blacksmith testbox workflow for Rust builds and tests

Adds a GitHub Actions workflow that runs Rust builds and tests on a Blacksmith Linux x64 testbox with 32 vCPUs and a 6-hour timeout. It triggers on pull requests that change the workflow file, or manually with a testbox session ID.
The workflow pins Go and Rust toolchains, mounts sticky disks for Cargo artifacts, and uses the typechecker state to resolve the Go version.
Adds testbox.sh, a CLI that wraps the Blacksmith CLI. It supports warmup, run, get, status, stop, and list commands, and stores the session ID in target/testbox-id (or uses TESTBOX_ID).
Behavioral Change: workflow jobs no longer cancel in-progress runs on the same testbox or ref, due to the non-canceling concurrency setting.

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Added a testbox workflow that can run manually with a session ID or automatically when the workflow changes in a pull request. Pull request runs use validation mode.
- Added commands to warm up, run commands on, check, download from, stop, and list testboxes. Testbox IDs can be reused from a saved session, and warmup defaults to the main branch with a 15-minute idle timeout.

Walkthrough

The changes add a GitHub Actions workflow that provisions a Blacksmith testbox with pinned Go and Rust toolchains. A Bash CLI provides commands to start and manage testboxes and run commands within them.

Changes

Testbox workflow and management

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Workflow and toolchain setup `.github/workflows/testbox.yml`	Defines manual and pull request triggers, runner settings, testbox startup, repository checkout, and sticky disk mounts. It checks out the pinned Go source, installs Go and Rust toolchains, writes environment settings, and invokes the runner even if earlier steps fail.
Testbox CLI commands `scripts/goport/testbox.sh`	Adds usage and configuration details, resolves the testbox ID from `TESTBOX_ID` or a saved file, and dispatches warmup, run, get, status, stop, and list commands.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 75646

The default warmup command cannot create a testbox, and a failed setup can still appear ready. Fix both before merging.

Review comments at @.github/workflows/testbox.yml:
- Line 102: Update the “Run Testbox” step condition so it runs only when
preceding setup steps succeed; do not use an unconditional always() condition
after “Begin Testbox”.
- Around line 89-90: Update the `testbox.env` generation block to export
`RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN` as `1.93.0` alongside `PATH`, so remote commands use the
pinned Rust toolchain.

Review comments at @scripts/goport/testbox.sh:
- Line 45: Update the stop branch to remove the saved ID file only when the ID
passed to `blacksmith testbox stop` matches the ID stored in
`target/testbox-id`; preserve the file when `TESTBOX_ID` overrides it with a
different ID.
- Line 41: Update the run command construction so each argument is safely quoted
for the remote shell before passing it to Blacksmith, preserving whitespace and
shell syntax as part of its original argument. Alternatively, make run accept
exactly one command-string argument and document that contract; do not join
arbitrary arguments with unquoted $*.
