Tests must properly clean up resources and avoid side effects that can impact other tests, especially when running in parallel. This prevents non-deterministic failures and ensures reliable test execution.
Key practices:
- Clean up any created resources (tables, files, connections) after test completion
- Use unique identifiers for test resources to avoid conflicts
- Ensure tests don’t leave persistent state that affects subsequent tests
- Consider using test fixtures or teardown methods for consistent cleanup
Example of proper cleanup:
def test_streaming_foreach_batch_external_column(self):
table_name = "testTable_foreach_batch_external_column"
try:
# Test logic here
pass
finally:
# Clean up the table to avoid affecting other tests
self.spark.sql(f"DROP TABLE IF EXISTS {table_name}")
This approach prevents issues where tests affect catalog-related tests or cause hanging/flaky behavior when run in parallel environments.
