Benjamin Bouvier b0aadd1574 refactor(test): use assert_let_timeout more often
Many of our tests make use of `assert_let` for checking that some value
comes out of a stream, while they could use `assert_let_timeout`, which
provides better ergonomics when the expected value doesn't arrive
immediately, by failing quickly.

This converts a few instances, making those tests easier to debug in the
future, would they fail again.

Matrix SDK integration test

This set of tests requires a Synapse instance, and it runs the tests from this directory against this real-world server. As a result, these tests depend on the load of the machine/server, and as such they might be more sensitive to timing issues than other tests in the code base.

Requirements

This requires a synapse backend with a configuration patched for CI. You can get it up and running with docker compose via:

docker compose -f assets/docker-compose.yml up -d
docker compose -f assets/docker-compose.yml logs --tail 100 -f

Note that this works also with podman compose.

Patches You can see the patches we do to configuration (namely activate registration and resetting rate limits, enable a few experimental features), check out what assets/ci-start.sh changes.

Running

The integration tests can be run with cargo test or cargo nextest run.

The integration tests expect the environment variables HOMESERVER_URL to be the HTTP URL to access the synapse server and HOMESERVER_DOMAIN to be set to the domain configured in that server. These variables are set to a default value that matches the default docker-compose.yml template; if you haven't touched it, you don't need to manually set those environment variables.

Maintenance

Delete all instance data

To stop the services and drop the database of your docker-compose cluster, run:

docker compose -f assets/docker-compose.yml down --volumes --remove-orphans -t 0

Rebuild the synapse image

If the Synapse image has been updated in version, you may need to rebuild the custom Synapse image using the following:

docker compose -f assets/docker-compose.yml build --pull synapse

Then restart the synapse service:

docker compose -f assets/docker-compose.yml up -d synapse
