Go 1.25's testing/synctest package (GA) provides a fake clock bubble
for deterministic goroutine and timer testing. Convert tests that
waited on real-time durations to use synctest, removing most wall-clock
time.Sleep workarounds.
Converted (11 tests, 9 files):
- notify/notify_test.go — all tests, replaced 17 time.Sleep(110ms) with synctest.Wait()
- store/service/service_test.go — VoteSameIPWithDuration, UserReplies, submitImages,
ResubmitStagingImages, deleteImagesOnCommentDelete
- store/image/{image,bolt_store}_test.go — Cleanup, Submit, SubmitDelay
- store/engine/bolt_test.go — FlagListBlocked
- providers/telegram_test.go — DispatchTelegramUpdates
- migrator/backup_test.go — TestBackup_Do
- _example/memory_store/accessor/data_test.go — FlagListBlocked
Simplifications along the way:
- notify/notify_mock.go: dropped the 10ms time.After delay and
ctx.Done select in MockDest — the artificial I/O simulation is
pointless and blocked synctest.Wait from draining the queue
- Removed three dead-code time.Sleep(1s) calls in EditCommentDurationFailed,
EditCommentAdmin, and Info tests: prepopulated comments from 2017
already exceed any EditDuration/ReadOnlyAge under real clock, making
the sleeps meaningless
- UserReplies: replaced the Eventually+Sleep+mutex polling with a
direct time.Sleep under fake clock
Skipped (incompatible with synctest):
- fs_store_test.go: relies on OS file mtime (real wall clock)
- rss_test.go: needs real wall-clock second boundary for pubDate
- admin/rest_private/rest_public tests: httptest network I/O
- cmd/server_test.go: real HTTP server startup polling
Notes on quirks encountered:
- synctest.Wait() does NOT advance fake time, contrary to what one
might expect. It only returns once all other bubble goroutines are
durably blocked. To advance the fake clock, the test goroutine must
itself call time.Sleep
- BoltDB keys the "last" bucket by comment.Timestamp nanosecond string.
Rapid b.Create calls under frozen fake time produce identical keys
and overwrite each other. TestService_UserReplies adds
time.Sleep(time.Nanosecond) between Creates to advance the clock
- Bolt image Cleanup uses strict age > ttl. Under fake time the
age-ttl delta is exactly zero at the boundary, so subtract 1ms from
the passed ttl to stay strictly under

Apply go fix ./... analysers (Go 1.26) across backend and examples:
- interface{} → any (type alias, no behaviour change)
- for i := 0; i < N; i++ → for range N / for i := range N
- slices.Contains / slices.ContainsFunc replacing manual loops
- strings.SplitSeq replacing strings.Split in range (avoids allocation)
- strings.CutPrefix replacing HasPrefix+TrimPrefix
- min() replacing manual if/else
- fmt.Appendf replacing []byte(fmt.Sprintf(...))
- strings.Builder replacing string += concatenation
- wg.Go(func(){}) replacing wg.Add(1)/go/wg.Done() pattern
- removed redundant ii := i loop variable copies (unnecessary since Go 1.22)
omitempty on struct-typed JSON fields: go fix removed omitempty from
struct-typed fields (time.Time, PostInfo, UserDetailEntry) because
encoding/json's omitempty never applied to struct types — it was always
a no-op. Kept as bare tags (no omitzero replacement) to preserve the
existing serialisation behaviour.
Replace strings.Split(RemoteAddr, ":") with net.SplitHostPort for correct
IPv6 address extraction in vote deduplication and comment IP tracking.
Harden image proxy: add SSRF-safe transport blocking private/reserved IPs
at connection time with DNS rebinding protection, sanitize error messages
to prevent information leakage, add response size limit via io.LimitReader.
Fix shadowed error variables in BlockedUsers, SetTitle, and Delete methods.
Exclude gosec taint analysis false positives at linter config level.
Previously it was done through writing bot first,
clicking a button, copying the token, and pasting
it into the web interface.
The new flow is way simpler: click the link
to write bot a message, then click the "Check"
button in the web UI and you got notifications
enabled.
