Description

Concurrent assertions inside Assert.Multiple() inherit the same scope. Unsynchronized writes can lose failures, and .And/.Or can mistake another assertion's failure for their own. For example, a passing .Or chain interrupted by an independent failure can replace that failure with an incorrect chain failure.

Synchronize scope collection access and merge nested scopes atomically. Give chains and pending pre-work isolated child scopes so their failure counts and removals apply only to their own execution. Successful child scopes skip the parent merge.

Add regressions for concurrent failure collection, nested scopes, interleaved .And/.Or chains, and item assertions after successful pre-work.

Type of Change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)

Checklist

  • Read the contributing guidelines.
  • Follow the existing code style.
  • Add regression tests proving the fix.
  • Keep changes internal; no public API or generator output changes.
  • Avoid child-scope allocation outside Assert.Multiple().

Testing

  • Before the fix: three of the four initial regression cases failed on .NET 10.
  • dotnet test --project tests/TUnit.Assertions.Tests/TUnit.Assertions.Tests.csproj -c Release — 6,619 passed across .NET 8, 9, and 10, including all five final regression cases on each target.
  • dotnet build src/TUnit.Assertions/TUnit.Assertions.csproj -c Release -f netstandard2.0 — passed without warnings or errors.

Validation ran on Windows. Discovery metadata and reflection behavior are unchanged; no snapshot updates are required.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved reliability of concurrent and nested multiple assertions by retaining all failures.
    • Fixed chained And and Or assertions so independent failures do not interfere with subsequent checks.
    • Ensured successful pre-work does not incorrectly skip assertion evaluations.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for concurrent failures, nested assertion scopes, and chained assertion behavior.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

AssertionScope now protects concurrent exception access and merges isolated child failures safely. Chained assertions and pending pre-work use isolated scopes. New tests cover concurrent failures, nested scopes, and continued chain evaluation.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 745b1

This change improves concurrent assertion failure aggregation and adds focused coverage, but the new coordination tests may not stop promptly when cancelled, which can delay failed test runs. Addressing cancellation propagation would make the change fully ready.

Greptile Summary

This PR makes failure collection within Assert.Multiple() thread-safe and isolates chain and pending-pre-work bookkeeping from unrelated concurrent assertions.

  • Synchronizes exception collection, inspection, removal, snapshotting, and parent-scope merging.
  • Gives .And/.Or chains and pending pre-work child scopes whose failures are merged into the shared parent on disposal.
  • Adds regressions covering concurrent collection, nested scopes, interleaved chains, and item assertions after successful pre-work.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge; no actionable correctness, compatibility, security, or repository-rule issue remains.

The locking and isolated child scopes address shared failure-list races without changing behavior outside Assert.Multiple(), and the added tests exercise the principal concurrent regression paths.

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
src/TUnit.Assertions/AssertionScope.cs Adds synchronized exception access, snapshot-based disposal, atomic child merging, and isolated child-scope creation.
src/TUnit.Assertions/Chaining/AndAssertion.cs Isolates .And chain failure accounting from unrelated failures in the shared parent scope.
src/TUnit.Assertions/Chaining/OrAssertion.cs Isolates .Or failure inspection and removal so passing alternatives cannot consume concurrent failures.
src/TUnit.Assertions/Core/Assertion.cs Evaluates pending pre-work in an isolated scope and bases skip behavior only on pre-work failures.
tests/TUnit.Assertions.Tests/ConcurrentAssertMultipleTests.cs Adds focused concurrent, nested-scope, chain-interleaving, and pre-work regression coverage.

Code Review: #6730 — preserve concurrent Assert.Multiple failures

I traced the full failure/write path (AssertionScope, AndAssertion, OrAssertion, Assertion.ExecutePendingPreWorkAsync) against both the described race and the new regression tests. No issues found.

What the fix does well:

  • Root cause correctly identified. The bug wasn't just an unsynchronized List<Exception> (fixed here with _exceptionsLock) — it was also a logical race: .And/.Or chains compared exception counts before/after their own sub-assertion against a scope shared with sibling concurrent tasks, so an unrelated Assert.Fail() landing in the await gap could be misattributed as "my assertion failed." CreateIsolatedScope() gives each chain/pre-work execution a private child scope via the existing AsyncLocal-based ambient-scope mechanism, so count comparisons and RemoveLastExceptions are only ever touched by that chain's own sequential steps — no interleaving is possible even though the shared parent list is now also correctly locked.
  • Merge-on-dispose is atomic and cheap on the happy path. Snapshotting into an array before merging avoids merging while another writer could still be appending, and the empty-check (exceptions.Length == 0) skips taking the parent lock entirely for a passing chain — satisfying the PR's own checklist item about avoiding allocation/locking outside Assert.Multiple() (confirmed: CreateIsolatedScope() returns null, no allocation, when there's no ambient scope).
  • Test coverage matches the failure modes described in the PR body — concurrent raw failures (with and without nested scopes), a passing .Or chain that must not swallow an independent concurrent failure, an .And chain that must still evaluate its second assertion after a concurrent failure, and successful pre-work followed by an item assertion. These are the right scenarios to pin the regression.
  • Verified the Lock-typed field isn't a new netstandard2.0/net8.0 compatibility risk — that type is already used successfully elsewhere in the repo across all target frameworks, and ImplicitUsings covers the System.Threading reference, consistent with the PR's own multi-TFM build verification.

Other checks:

  • No other write sites bypass the isolation (ThrowOrAccumulateFailure and Assert.Fail correctly still read the ambient scope directly, which is by design — they're leaf writers, not chains needing isolation).
  • Change is properly scoped to TUnit.Assertions internals; no public API or source-generator output touched, consistent with the PR checklist.
  • Prior automated reviews (Greptile: 5/5, no issues; CodeRabbit: no findings posted) agree with this assessment — nothing outstanding to address from those.

No changes requested. This is a solid, well-isolated concurrency fix with tests that actually exercise the race rather than just the API surface.

Pass the test cancellation token to the coordination waits.

These four test methods do not accept CancellationToken. Their TaskCompletionSource and Task.WhenAll waits cannot observe test cancellation. Add a final CancellationToken cancellationToken parameter and use .WaitAsync(cancellationToken) for start, started, release, chain, and Task.WhenAll(tasks).
