ci: restore analyzer-test reference packs and write heap hang dumps on macOS - #7576
Fixes#7574. Fixes#7575 (a duplicate of #7574 with the root-cause analysis).
Problem
On macOS, RunAssertionsAnalyzersTestsModule failed run 41778375497 after its 30-minute timeout, even though all 126 tests passed. The cause comes in two parts:
Slow first resolution. Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Testing resolves ReferenceAssemblies while holding one machine-wide file lock ($TMPDIR/test-packages/.lock), which it retries once a second. On a cold runner, each analyzer test process downloads the ~50 MB Microsoft.NETCore.App.Ref packs from nuget.org while holding that lock, and the other analyzer test processes running in parallel wait behind it. On macOS the first batch of tests waits 95–300 s, against about 7 s on Linux. In the failing run it waited 297 s, which tripped the 5-minute hang dump.
The dump never finished. The default full dump of an arm64 macOS test process is about 7.6 GB; locally it takes 15 s on a fast machine. On the 3-core, 7 GB runner it never completed: there was no .dmp in the artifact and the process never exited, so the module sat until its timeout.
Fix
eng/AnalyzerTestReferencePacks.props, imported by the five analyzer test projects, fetches the reference packs and the packages the verifiers add with PackageDownload during the normal restore. The library checks the global packages folder before any feed, so resolution no longer touches the network.
A new HangDumpArguments helper builds the --hangdump arguments for all ten modules and adds --hangdump-type Heap on macOS. A heap dump of the same process is about 0.5 GB, is written in 0.4 s, and still works with dotnet-dump analyzedumpasync; I checked that the blocked ReferenceAssemblies awaits show up in it. Linux and Windows keep full dumps.
Validation (local, macOS arm64)
Held the test-packages lock from another process to force the stall: the hang dump fired, and a full dump was 7.6 GB / 15 s, a heap dump 547 MB / 0.4 s, a mini dump 50 MB / 0.2 s (stacks only, no dumpasync).
Ran all five analyzer test projects with an empty test-packages folder and HTTP(S) proxied to a dead port, so any network fetch would fail. Before this change the two assertion projects failed or blocked for 300+ s. After it, all pass, in parallel: 1095 + 126 + 104 + 30 + 21 tests, done in 12–23 s, with first-batch latency 4–11 s.
TUnit.Pipeline builds with 0 warnings, and a full multi-target restore of the five projects succeeds.
The CI speed-up on the macOS runner itself can only be confirmed by this PR's macOS job.
Summary by CodeRabbit
Chores
Analyzer test projects now use exact-version reference packs for .NET 8, 9, 10, and .NET Framework 4.7.2 and 4.8.
Test runs use consistent hang-dump settings across engine, analyzer, web, and template suites. On macOS, heap dumps are selected; other platforms retain their default dump type.
…n macOS
The analyzer tests resolve reference packs through Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Testing,
which holds one machine-wide file lock while it downloads them from nuget.org. On
a cold macOS runner the parallel analyzer test processes queued behind each other
for up to five minutes, which tripped the 5m hang dump. The default full dump of an
arm64 test process is ~7.6 GB and never finished on the runner, so a passing run sat
until the 30-minute module timeout.
- Restore the packs (and the packages the verifiers add) with PackageDownload, so the
tests resolve them from the global packages folder with no network access.
- Request heap hang dumps on macOS (~0.5 GB, written in under a second, still usable
with dumpasync) through one shared HangDumpArguments helper.
Fixes#7575
The change adds shared package-download declarations for analyzer test projects. It also adds a helper for creating platform-specific hang-dump arguments and updates pipeline test modules to use it.
The shared props file declares exact-version downloads for .NET and .NET Framework reference packs and analyzer-verifier packages. Five analyzer test projects import the props file.
HangDumpArguments.Create builds arguments from a file name and timeout. On macOS, it also sets the dump type to Heap. The engine test module now uses the helper.
Analyzer, ASP.NET, Aspire, assertions, internal, OpenTelemetry, and template test modules now use the helper with their existing file names and timeouts.
thomhurst/TUnit#7578: It changes which analyzer test modules run on macOS pull requests, including modules updated here to use the hang-dump helper.

Explanation
Issue #7575 requires faster analyzer-test reference-assembly resolution and protection from a slow first batch triggering a hang failure. eng/AnalyzerTestReferencePacks.props prefetches the required reference packs and verifier packages during restore. The five analyzer test projects import this file, so test-time resolution can use the global packages folder. HangDumpArguments.Create selects Heap dumps on macOS, and RunAssertionsAnalyzersTestsModule uses it with the existing 5-minute timeout. The supplied validation reports that all five projects pass with network access blocked and that heap dumps complete quickly.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The changed files support the linked issue. The shared HangDumpArguments helper applies the macOS dump fix consistently to the ten test modules, while preserving full dumps on Linux and Windows. The package-download file, project imports, and helper refactoring directly support faster analyzer-test startup or reliable hang-dump collection. No unrelated change is established by the available evidence.

A rabbit checks the packs in place, Then gathers dumps at measured pace. On macOS, Heap joins the call, While named test modules share them all. The burrow rests; logs stand tall.
No blocking issues found. The change is well targeted and the root-cause analysis in the description is convincing.
What looks good
PackageDownload in one shared props file is the right lever. The library checks the global packages folder first, so this removes the network call under the machine-wide lock instead of working around it with longer timeouts.
Exact-version [x] ranges match how PackageDownload is meant to be used. The comment tells maintainers to keep the versions in step with the ReferenceAssemblies the tests use, and says a missed version only costs a re-download, not a failure.
HangDumpArguments puts the ten duplicated hang-dump argument lists in one place. Limiting --hangdump-type Heap to macOS keeps full dumps on Linux and Windows.
Suggestions (non-blocking)
Version drift. The pack versions are duplicated by hand between the props file and the test sources, and nothing checks they agree. If someone bumps a ReferenceAssemblies version, CI gets slower again with no signal. One option is a small test that compares ReferenceAssemblies versions with the props. Another is to define the versions as MSBuild properties and have both sides read them.
Heap dump scope. I haven't confirmed that Heap is accepted on every supported Microsoft.Testing.Platform.Extensions.HangDump version. The PR's macOS CI run will confirm it. If that job passes, this is fine.
RunTemplateTestsModule. It passes "--", ..HangDumpArguments.Create(...), so the --hangdump-type argument also lands after the -- separator. That matches the existing layout, but check the template tests still receive it on macOS.
Overall, this is a clean fix to the macOS timeout. The macOS job on this PR is the real validation.

Good
PackageDownload in one shared props file is the right lever. It warms the global packages folder during the normal restore, so the machine-wide lock no longer covers a network download.
HangDumpArguments removes ten copies of the same argument list and keeps the macOS-only heap-dump workaround in one place. The [..] spreads and the "--" prefix in the template module look correct.
Suggestions (non-blocking)
Version drift. The pack versions in eng/AnalyzerTestReferencePacks.props are hand-synced with the ReferenceAssemblies and AddPackages calls in the tests. If they diverge, the tests silently fall back to the slow path. A small guard would catch this: a test that resolves the ReferenceAssemblies and asserts the packs already sit in the global packages folder. Alternatively, define the versions as MSBuild properties that the tests also read, so there is one source of truth.
Scope of the heap dump. The fix for the hang dump never completing applies to every macOS module. That seems right, but the comment could note that Linux and Windows keep full dumps on purpose, so nobody "fixes" the inconsistency later. The PR description says this, and the doc comment only half does.
Hang timeout. The 5m hang timeout is still tight if the cold-cache wait recurs, for example after a version drift. A bit more headroom on macOS would make a slow start less likely to look like a hang.
PackageDownload does not restore dependencies, so xunit.v3.common (needed by
xunit.v3.extensibility.core) and Microsoft.Bcl.AsyncInterfaces 6.0.0 were still downloaded
at test time on a cold runner, as were the net472-only dependency groups. Also note why
Linux and Windows keep full hang dumps.
Thanks for the review. My response to each suggestion:
Version drift: acted on part of this. CodeRabbit found that some transitive dependencies were missing, which is the drift you describe, and 07847c9 adds them. I checked the list by restoring into an empty NUGET_PACKAGES folder and running all five analyzer test projects with the network blocked: everything resolves from the restore. I haven't added a guard test. A version that's missing from the list makes a cold run slow, not wrong, and the props comment says to keep the list in step with ReferenceAssemblies and AddPackages.
Heap-dump scope: done in 07847c9. The HangDumpArguments doc comment now says Linux and Windows keep full dumps on purpose.
Hang timeout: keeping 5m. With the packs restored ahead of time, the first analyzer tests finish in seconds, so a 5-minute stall is again a real hang worth dumping. A heap dump now completes on macOS, so a false trigger no longer wedges the job.
The change looks sound and I found no blocking issues.
eng/AnalyzerTestReferencePacks.props: Using PackageDownload with exact [x] versions puts the packs in the global packages folder during restore. Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Testing checks that folder first, so this removes the network fetch made while holding the machine-wide lock. That fixes the root cause rather than only the symptom. The comment documenting that a missing version still works, just slower, is helpful.
HangDumpArguments: Pulling the ten copy-pasted argument arrays into one helper is a good cleanup. The macOS-only --hangdump-type Heap is well scoped. The [..HangDumpArguments.Create(...)] spreads, and the "--" prefix in the template module, preserve the old argument order.
Non-blocking suggestions:
The pack versions in the props file must be kept in step by hand with the ReferenceAssemblies the tests use. If they drift, the only symptom is a slow test run, and nothing flags it. A small test that compares the verifier's required versions against the props file would catch drift early. The comment alone may not.
Creating the arrays with Create(...) and then spreading them allocates twice. This is irrelevant in build tooling, but Create could return IEnumerable<string> or the call sites could use it directly.
The macOS CI job on this PR is what will confirm the speed-up.
Thanks. Suggestion 1 is covered in my previous reply. On suggestion 2, I'm keeping string[]: the array is built once per module run in pipeline tooling, so the extra copy doesn't matter. An array also lets EngineTestsModuleBase splice it between its other arguments and the template module put "--" in front of it, with no extra handling at either call site.
