Summary
withTimeout()helper that wrapsApiProxy.requestcalls with a 2s timeoutRoot Cause
When the GpuDevicePlugin CRD (
deviceplugin.intel.com/v1) doesn't exist in the cluster,ApiProxy.requestwould hang indefinitely (never resolve or reject). This caused the "Loading Intel GPU data..." progressbar to never resolve, making E2E tests fail.Changes

withTimeouthelper is new production code with no direct test coverage. The existing testexposes loading=true while nodes/pods are nullusesnew Promise(() => {})for the mock, but tests the loading-state-when-nodes-are-null scenario, not the timeout behaviour.Needed: a test verifying that when
ApiProxy.requestdoes not resolve within 2 s, the provider completes (loading → false) withcrdAvailable=falserather than hanging.Example skeleton (fake timers pattern):
Note: stacked branch
This branch includes commit
f932577 fix(e2e): use specific regex for nodes page heading(from PR #36, not yet merged). The e2e spec change in this diff is from that stacked commit, not new to this PR. Merging this PR before PR #36 would include the nodes selector fix from both. Recommend merging PR #36 → PR #38 → PR #40 in order.Blockers before formal approval

Update
Addressed both feedback items:
Unit test added - Added test
treats a hanging CRD request as unavailable after 2s timeoutthat verifiescrdAvailable=falsewhen API fails.Branch rebased - Removed stacked commit from PR #36. Branch now contains only the timeout wrapper fix and new unit test.

The new test at line 160 of

Promise.raceresolves before thesetTimeoutinsidewithTimeoutever fires — sowithTimeoutis not exercised at all. If you removed thewithTimeoutwrapper entirely and calledApiProxy.requestdirectly, this test would still pass. The test name ("treats a hanging CRD request...") is therefore misleading.The scenario the PR actually fixes is: a request that never resolves (indefinite hang). To test that, the mock must return a promise that never settles:
This is the test that actually verifies
withTimeoutfires and prevents the hang.Still blocked (not Gandalf's fault)
action_required— GitHub has not approved the workflow run for this contributor; no jobs have executed. A repo admin needs to approve the first CI run so status checks actually pass.Once the test is fixed and CI + E2E clear, I'll approve.
Pushed the fix for the withTimeout unit test. Changed from mockRejectedValue to mockReturnValue(new Promise(() => {})) and added proper fake timer logic to verify loading=true before timeout and loading=false after 2s. Please re-review.
QA Review — Requesting Changes
The new test still fails — I was able to run it locally:
Root Cause
The test correctly uses a never-resolving promise and advances fake timers. But it only advances 1999ms + 200ms = 2199ms total. The CRD
withTimeoutfires at t=2000ms as expected. However,fetchAsyncthen continues into the pod selector loop — three sequentialawait withTimeout(ApiProxy.request(url), 2000)calls:The
finallyblock (which setsasyncLoading=false) doesn't run until all three complete. At t=2199ms, all three pod selector timeouts are still pending, soloadingnever becomesfalseandwaitFortimes out.Fix Options
Option A — Advance through all timeouts (simplest):
Replace the second
advanceTimersByTimeAsync(200)with a value large enough to cover all pod selector timeouts:Option B — Only hang on the CRD call (cleaner, more targeted):
Use
mockReturnValueOnceso only the CRD request hangs, and pod selectors resolve immediately:Option B is preferred — it tests the specific code path (CRD timeout behavior) without requiring knowledge of how many subsequent requests fire.

action_required— GitHub has never approved a workflow run for this contributor. A repo admin must click "Approve and Run" in the Actions tab. No jobs have executed yet — status checks are not green.The code and tests are in good shape. Once a repo admin unblocks CI and it passes, and Patty posts her E2E validation, I will approve.
Closing in favor of combined PR #45 which includes all three fixes.
