After tests end, an extra check is performed, looking into node logs for crashes, aborts and similar issues. The test directory is also scanned for coredumps. If any of the above are found, the test will fail with an error. The following checks are made: - Any log line matching `Assertion.*failed` or containing `AddressSanitizer` is marked as a critical error - Lines matching `Aborting on shard` will only be marked as a critical error if the paterns in `manager.ignore_cores_log_patterns` are not found in that log - If any critical error is found, the log is also scanned for backtraces - Any backtraces found are decoded and saved - If the test is marked with `@pytest.mark.check_nodes_for_errors`, the logs are checked for any `ERROR` lines - Any pattern in `manager.ignore_log_patterns` and `manager.ignore_cores_log_patterns` will cause above check to ignore that line - The `expected_error` value that many methods, like `manager.decommission_node`, have will be automatically appended to `manager.ignore_log_patterns` refs: https://github.com/scylladb/qa-tasks/issues/1804 --- [Examples](https://jenkins.scylladb.com/job/scylla-staging/job/cezar/job/byo_build_tests_dtest/46/testReport/): Following examples are run on a separate branch where changes have been made to enable these failures. `test_unfinished_writes_during_shutdown` - Errors are found in logs and are not ignored ``` failed on teardown with "Failed: Server 2096: found 1 error(s) (log: scylla-2096.log) ERROR 2025-12-15 14:20:06,563 [shard 0: gms] raft_topology - raft_topology_cmd barrier_and_drain failed with: std::runtime_error (raft topology: command::barrier_and_drain, the version has changed, version 11, current_version 12, the topology change coordinator had probably migrated to another node) Server 2101: found 4 error(s) (log: scylla-2101.log) ERROR 2025-12-15 14:20:04,674 [shard 0:strm] repair - repair[c434c0c0-68da-472c-ba3e-ed80960ce0d5]: Repair 1 out of 4 ranges, keyspace=system_distributed, table=view_build_status, range=(minimum token,maximum token), peers=[27c027a6-603d-49d0-8766-1b085d8c7d29, b549cb36-fae8-490b-a19e-86d42e7aa07a, f7049967-81ff-4296-9be7-9d6a4d33a29e], live_peers=[b549cb36-fae8-490b-a19e-86d42e7aa07a, f7049967-81ff-4296-9be7-9d6a4d33a29e], status=failed: mandatory neighbor=27c027a6-603d-49d0-8766-1b085d8c7d29 is not alive ERROR 2025-12-15 14:20:04,674 [shard 1:strm] repair - repair[c434c0c0-68da-472c-ba3e-ed80960ce0d5]: Repair 1 out of 4 ranges, keyspace=system_distributed, table=view_build_status, range=(minimum token,maximum token), peers=[27c027a6-603d-49d0-8766-1b085d8c7d29, b549cb36-fae8-490b-a19e-86d42e7aa07a, f7049967-81ff-4296-9be7-9d6a4d33a29e], live_peers=[b549cb36-fae8-490b-a19e-86d42e7aa07a, f7049967-81ff-4296-9be7-9d6a4d33a29e], status=failed: mandatory neighbor=27c027a6-603d-49d0-8766-1b085d8c7d29 is not alive ERROR 2025-12-15 14:20:04,675 [shard 0: gms] raft_topology - raft_topology_cmd stream_ranges failed with: std::runtime_error (["shard 0: std::runtime_error (repair[c434c0c0-68da-472c-ba3e-ed80960ce0d5]: 1 out of 4 ranges failed, keyspace=system_distributed, tables=[\"view_build_status\", \"cdc_generation_timestamps\", \"service_levels\", \"cdc_streams_descriptions_v2\"], repair_reason=bootstrap, nodes_down_during_repair={27c027a6-603d-49d0-8766-1b085d8c7d29}, aborted_by_user=false, failed_because=std::runtime_error (Repair mandatory neighbor=27c027a6-603d-49d0-8766-1b085d8c7d29 is not alive, keyspace=system_distributed, mandatory_neighbors=[27c027a6-603d-49d0-8766-1b085d8c7d29, b549cb36-fae8-490b-a19e-86d42e7aa07a, f7049967-81ff-4296-9be7-9d6a4d33a29e]))", "shard 1: std::runtime_error (repair[c434c0c0-68da-472c-ba3e-ed80960ce0d5]: 1 out of 4 ranges failed, keyspace=system_distributed, tables=[\"view_build_status\", \"cdc_generation_timestamps\", \"service_levels\", \"cdc_streams_descriptions_v2\"], repair_reason=bootstrap, nodes_down_during_repair={27c027a6-603d-49d0-8766-1b085d8c7d29}, aborted_by_user=false, failed_because=std::runtime_error (Repair mandatory neighbor=27c027a6-603d-49d0-8766-1b085d8c7d29 is not alive, keyspace=system_distributed, mandatory_neighbors=[27c027a6-603d-49d0-8766-1b085d8c7d29, b549cb36-fae8-490b-a19e-86d42e7aa07a, f7049967-81ff-4296-9be7-9d6a4d33a29e]))"]) ERROR 2025-12-15 14:20:06,812 [shard 0:main] init - Startup failed: std::runtime_error (Bootstrap failed.

If you can use an existing folder, consider adding your test to it. New folders should be used for new large categories/subsystems, or when the test environment is significantly different from some existing suite, e.g. you plan to start scylladb with different configuration, and you intend to add many tests and would like them to reuse an existing Scylla cluster (clusters can be reused for tests within the same folder).
To add a new folder, create a new directory, and then
copy & edit its suite.ini.
