A data race in a package matters more than any individual test
result. Two related problems:
1. Where go test's race detector text ("WARNING: DATA RACE" plus
the goroutine stack traces) lands in JSON output is timing-
dependent: it can be attributed to a test that ends up reporting
PASS (e.g. when the racing goroutines outlive the test that
spawned them and TSan prints during a different test's window).
testwrapper's main loop only flushes the logs of failed tests,
so the race report ends up stuck in a passing test's buffer and
is silently dropped. The race builders just see a bare
"FAIL\nFAIL\tpkg\ttime".
2. If the failing test in such a package happens to be marked flaky,
testwrapper retries it. That is the worst possible response to a
race: the flaky test might not even be the racy code, and a
second run without the racy goroutines could "succeed" while
hiding the real bug.
Address both: scan every output line for the race detector's first-
line marker. Track whether the package observed a race at all, on
the pkgFinished testAttempt. When a race was seen, fold every per-
test log buffer into the package-level logs (so the full report
surfaces from the existing pkg-fail flush path), and drop any
flaky-test retry plans for that package so we fail immediately
instead of running another attempt.
Two new tests:
- TestRaceSuppressesFlakyRetry verifies that a flaky test alongside
a racy test does NOT get retried.
- TestRaceAttributedToPassingTest verifies that a race attributed by
test2json to a passing test still surfaces in the output.
Also add a corpus of captured raw test binary outputs under
cmd/testwrapper/testdata/, with one subdirectory per scenario,
documenting the six representative shapes that go test -race can
emit (race in test body, race in goroutines that outlive a test,
race forced into a later test, race in TestMain post-m.Run, and a
parallel-tests split-attribution case via a "=== NAME" redirect
line). See its README.md for details.

Tailscale
Private WireGuard® networks made easy
Overview
This repository contains the majority of Tailscale's open source code.
Notably, it includes the tailscaled daemon and
the tailscale CLI tool. The tailscaled daemon runs on Linux, Windows,
macOS, and to varying degrees
on FreeBSD and OpenBSD. The Tailscale iOS and Android apps use this repo's
code, but this repo doesn't contain the mobile GUI code.
Other Tailscale repos of note:
- the Android app is at https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale-android
- the Synology package is at https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale-synology
- the QNAP package is at https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale-qpkg
- the Chocolatey packaging is at https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale-chocolatey
For background on which parts of Tailscale are open source and why, see https://tailscale.com/opensource/.
Using
We serve packages for a variety of distros and platforms at https://pkgs.tailscale.com.
Other clients
The macOS, iOS, and Windows clients use the code in this repository but additionally include small GUI wrappers. The GUI wrappers on non-open source platforms are themselves not open source.
Building
We always require the latest Go release, currently Go 1.26. (While we build releases with our Go fork, its use is not required.)
go install tailscale.com/cmd/tailscale{,d}
If you're packaging Tailscale for distribution, use build_dist.sh
instead, to burn commit IDs and version info into the binaries:
./build_dist.sh tailscale.com/cmd/tailscale
./build_dist.sh tailscale.com/cmd/tailscaled
If your distro has conventions that preclude the use of
build_dist.sh, please do the equivalent of what it does in your
distro's way, so that bug reports contain useful version information.
Bugs
Please file any issues about this code or the hosted service on the issue tracker.
Contributing
PRs welcome! But please file bugs. Commit messages should reference bugs.
We require Developer Certificate of
Origin
Signed-off-by lines in commits.
See commit-messages.md (or skim git log) for our commit message style.
