Thanks for this — context plumbing is the right change and most of it is carefully done. The things I checked that hold up:
- Every background goroutine still exits cleanly on
ctx.Done(), and you didn't reintroduce a blocking sleep anywhere.BackoffStoreis still the backoff mechanism, and thetime.Sleep(interval)to cancellable-timer swap inrefreshConfigis exactly right. serverErris buffered, so theListenAndServegoroutine can't leak if the shutdown path wins the select.signal.NotifyContextplussrv.Shutdownwith a bounded timeout is the correct shape, and thedefer report.FlushSentry()already at the top ofmaincovers the graceful path, so Sentry events aren't dropped on the way out.
The blocker is TestRefreshGTFSBundlesReadsLiveConfig. Adding the request context makes cancel() able to abort an in-flight download, and the test's deferred cleanup calls cancel() before the server is drained. refreshGTFSBundles fans out one goroutine per server on a 10ms tick with a 1.8 MB fixture, so when the test body returns there is almost always a request mid-write; the handler's w.Write(bundle) then fails and trips the t.Errorf added in ecf8845.
Measured:
main: 0 failures in 30 runs- this branch: 21 failures in 30 runs
CI is green because GitHub's Linux runners buffer the whole 1.8 MB response, so the handler never notices the client is gone. It reproduces reliably on macOS.
The fix is one line: drain before cancelling, so the deferred cleanup does ts.Close() and then cancel(). Better still, join the refreshGTFSBundles goroutine with the done channel pattern you already applied to the three sibling tests in this same PR.
Two smaller things, neither blocking:
- The
requests sync.WaitGroupcallsAdd(1)inside the handler whileWait()runs in cleanup.httptest.Server.Close()already blocks until outstanding requests finish, so once the ordering above is fixed the WaitGroup can simply be deleted. - Now that ctx reaches
ServerPing,FetchObaAPIMetrics, and the RT fetch, a SIGTERM landing mid-tick will report severalcontext cancelederrors to Sentry atLevelError. Actx.Err() != nilguard before reporting would keep shutdown quiet. Fine as a follow-up.
Fix the test ordering and I'll re-review promptly.
I tested two candidate fixes on this branch so you don't have to guess:
- Just reordering the cleanup to
ts.Close()beforecancel()helps a lot but isn't sufficient: 21/30 failures drops to 3/30. - Marking the shutdown explicitly and not asserting on writes that fail because of it is clean: 0 failures in 60 runs, and clean under
-race.
That second one is this:
var (
+ shuttingDown atomic.Bool
firstTickOnce sync.Once
addedOnce sync.Once
requests sync.WaitGroup
@@
- if _, err := w.Write(bundle); err != nil {
+ if _, err := w.Write(bundle); err != nil && !shuttingDown.Load() {
t.Errorf("write GTFS fixture: %v", err)
}
@@
defer func() {
+ shuttingDown.Store(true)
cancel()
requests.Wait()
ts.Close()
http.DefaultClient.CloseIdleConnections()
}()plus "sync/atomic" in the imports. The write assertion still guards the real case it was added for in ecf8845 — a mid-test write failure — and only goes quiet once the test has deliberately begun tearing down. Take it or something equivalent, whichever you prefer.

Return after a failed server-scope GTFS-RT fetch.
FetchAndStoreGTFSRTFeed leaves the previous RealtimeStore snapshot unchanged when it returns an error. The current path then runs collectVehicleMetrics, which reads that snapshot and emits stale metrics, including when context cancellation causes the fetch to fail. Return after reporting the error.
Proposed fix
if err := app.GtfsService.FetchAndStoreGTFSRTFeed(ctx, server); err != nil {
app.Logger.Error("Failed to fetch and store GTFS-RT feed",
"server_name", server.ServerName, "error", err)
report.ReportErrorWithSentryOptions(err, report.SentryReportOptions{
Tags: map[string]string{
"server_name": server.ServerName,
},
Level: sentry.LevelError,
})
+ return

Preserve dual logging for request-construction failures.
When http.NewRequestWithContext rejects a malformed URL, this branch returns before error logging and Sentry reporting. Log the sanitized URL and report the error with agency_id, agency_name, and server_name tags.

Approving this. The blocker is fixed more thoroughly than I asked for, and I re-checked the concurrency surface rather than assuming.
What I verified at 97163d7:
TestRefreshGTFSBundlesReadsLiveConfignow does both halves: theshuttingDownguard on the write assertion and thedone-channel join of the refresh goroutine, so the teardown drains beforets.Close(). That closes thet.Errorf-after-test-completion hazard too, not just the flake.- The
requests sync.WaitGroupis gone, as suggested. Good, that was the redundant part. - The shutdown path is right:
signal.NotifyContextinstalled before any goroutine starts,serverErrbuffered so theListenAndServegoroutine can't leak when the cancel branch wins, a bounded 10ssrv.Shutdown,ErrServerClosedtreated as a clean exit, and a real bind failure still fatal with an explicitFlushSentry()beforeos.Exit(1)since the defers won't run there. - Context propagation is now complete: the
context.Background()seams inserver_ping.goandvehicle_metrics.goare gone, and there's nocontext.Background()/context.TODO()left in non-test code underinternal/orcmd/. - Backoff is untouched.
BackoffStoreis still the mechanism,refreshConfig's sleep became a cancellable timer, and no blocking retry crept into the collection path.
Two notes, neither blocking:
- The
ctx.Err() != nilguard to keep shutdown quiet in Sentry is still outstanding. That was mine to file as a follow-up and I'm not holding the PR on it. - CodeRabbit's suggestion to return after a failed server-scope RT fetch should not be taken. It contradicts CLAUDE.md and the comment directly above that branch, and it was raised and rejected on #133 for the same reason. Leaving it as-is is correct.
One thing stands between this and merge, and it isn't the code: the CLA check. One of two committers has signed. The unsigned commits are authored as Mohamed Ahmed Aboomar <aboomar@Mohameds-MacBook-Air.local>, which is a local machine hostname rather than a real address, so the bot's suggested fix (adding the email to your GitHub account) won't work here. You'll need to rewrite the authorship to the address on your GitHub account and force-push:
git config user.email mohamedaboomar1211@gmail.com
git config user.name 0xaboomar
git rebase main --exec 'git commit --amend --reset-author --no-edit'
git push --force-with-lease
Same applies to #130, #136, #141, and #142 — all five branches have commits from that address.
Sequencing note: this PR and #142 both change downloadGTFSBundle to use http.NewRequestWithContext and both rewrite the same teardown in refresh_live_config_test.go, but differently — you use the done channel here and a sync.WaitGroup there. Whichever lands second will conflict. Yours here is the better version, so I'd keep it and drop both internal/gtfs hunks from #142, leaving that PR to carry only the alert rules.
