Fix CI test failure caused by go test -json piping#12651
Conversation
Found that test command exits with code 1 even though all tests pass. Root cause: go test -json output with tee and set -o pipefail can cause failures Co-authored-by: pelikhan <4175913+pelikhan@users.noreply.github.com>
- Remove -json flag and tee from main test command - Run tests with -v for human-readable output - Generate JSON test results in separate step with if: always() - This avoids pipeline failures from go test -json | tee interaction Co-authored-by: pelikhan <4175913+pelikhan@users.noreply.github.com>

CI test job was failing with exit code 1 despite all tests passing. The issue:
go test -json | teewithset -o pipefailcauses intermittent pipeline failures due to JSON output buffering.Changes
Separated test execution from JSON artifact generation:
Before:
After:
Main test command now uses
-v(human-readable output) without piping. JSON results generated separately withif: always()to ensure artifact creation regardless of test outcome.Original prompt
