[test] Add tests for tty.IsRunningInContainer#262
Conversation
- Add 8 test functions covering all detection methods - Test environment variable detection (RUNNING_IN_CONTAINER) - Test file-based detection (/.dockerenv and /proc/1/cgroup) - Test edge cases (case sensitivity, invalid values) - Test consistency and thread safety - Add helper function for string matching tests - Achieve ~90% coverage for container detection logic Function had 0% test coverage before this change

Pull request overview
This PR adds comprehensive test coverage for the IsRunningInContainer function in the internal/tty package, which previously had 0% test coverage. The function detects whether code is running inside a container using three methods: checking for /.dockerenv, parsing /proc/1/cgroup for container indicators, and checking the RUNNING_IN_CONTAINER environment variable.
Changes:
- Added 390 lines of test code with 8 test functions covering environment variable detection, file-based detection, edge cases, consistency, and concurrent access
- Created a helper function
containsAnyto replicate the substring matching logic used in the implementation - Tests are designed to work in both container and host environments by validating consistency with actual system state

- This test uses the custom
containsAnyhelper to replicate detection logic, but it would be more maintainable to usestrings.Containsin a loop, matching the actual implementation. This ensures test logic remains synchronized with production code if the container indicators list changes.
cgroupIndicatesContainer = containsAny(content, []string{"docker", "containerd", "kubepods", "lxc"})
internal/tty/container_test.go:164
- Duplicate detection logic with custom
containsAnyhelper. For consistency with the actual implementation and better maintainability, usestrings.Containsin a loop instead.
cgroupIndicatesContainer = containsAny(content, []string{"docker", "containerd", "kubepods", "lxc"})

The containsAny helper reimplements functionality already available in the standard library. The actual implementation uses strings.Contains, so the test should use it as well for consistency and simplicity. Replace the custom loop-based implementation with strings.Contains to match the production code's behavior exactly.

Using assert.True(t, ...) directly inside a goroutine is unsafe because the testing.T object is not goroutine-safe and can cause data races. Instead, capture the result in the goroutine and perform assertions in the main goroutine after collecting all results. Similar pattern exists in TestRequireSession_DifcDisabled_Concurrent where results are collected via channels first.

The test expects true for a partial match ('dockerized' contains 'docker'), but the comment suggests this is incorrect behavior. The actual IsRunningInContainer implementation uses strings.Contains which would also return true for this case. However, the test comment indicates uncertainty about whether this is correct. Since strings.Contains is substring matching (not word matching), this behavior is actually correct for both implementations. Remove the misleading comment or clarify that substring matching is intentional.
