Description

The pandas test suite is one of the longest poles in CI: over 200k tests on a
single runner, around 40 minutes per run, against a 90 minute timeout. This
shards it across runners in both the PR and the nightly workflows.

Sharding itself is done in pandas-testing-plugin.py, which gains
--shard-id / --num-shards and assigns each test to a shard so that the
shards are disjoint and together cover the suite. Both workflows currently use
2 shards.

PR runs (pr.yaml)

pandas-tests becomes a matrix job. Each shard runs its subset and uploads its
partial per-module summary as pandas-test-pr-results-<shard_id>.

Because no single shard has the whole picture, the diff against nightly moves
into a new pandas-tests-summary job, which merges the partial summaries
(merge-results.py) and posts the usual table. That job is continue-on-error
and best effort throughout — it must never block a PR, since the pass/fail
signal still comes from the shard jobs themselves.

Nightly runs (pandas-tests.yaml)

Sharded the same way, with a pandas-tests-merge job that recombines the
shards into a single main-results.json and re-uploads it under exactly that
name. Keeping the artifact name is what lets the existing consumers work
untouched: both run.sh and summary.sh fetch the baseline with
gh run download --name main-results.json.

Unlike the PR-side summary job, this one is deliberately strict and runs only
when every shard succeeded. main-results.json is the baseline every PR diffs
against, so a partial merge would surface as spurious "new failures" across
unrelated PRs — better for a nightly to produce no successful run at all than a
half-populated baseline.

Maintenance note

The shard count appears in three places per workflow and they have to agree:
the shard_id matrix, the num-shards argument to run.sh, and the argument
to summary.sh (PR) or merge-nightly.sh (nightly). Comments in both workflow
files call this out at the point of change.

Walkthrough

Changes

The PR adds deterministic two-shard pytest execution for pandas tests. CI workflows upload per-shard results, merge them, and generate nightly comparisons for PRs.

The runner passes shard parameters and skips per-shard diffs. New scripts download and merge shard JSON files, create nightly results, and append comparisons to the PR job summary.
CI workflow orchestration
.github/workflows/pandas-tests.yaml, .github/workflows/pr.yaml
Nightly and PR workflows discover shard IDs, run non-fail-fast shard matrices, upload shard-specific artifacts, and schedule result processing.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a9e49

The PR changes pandas test execution and result aggregation to use shards, but unresolved issues can skip failures outside sharded runs, omit deselection events from reporting, and produce misleading errors when no nightly baseline exists. These bounded correctness and diagnostics risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Three problems the sharded CI run exposed, none of which were failing loudly.

A shard that fails never reaches its upload step, so summary.sh merged
whatever had arrived and diffed part of the suite against the whole nightly
baseline, reporting the missing shard's tests as removed. It did this while
staying green. Require every shard before summarizing.

The shard options were only validated during collection, so a bad --shard-id
surfaced as an INTERNALERROR after collecting the whole pandas suite, and
--num-shards 0 or 1 silently ran everything on every runner -- which the
merge step would then have summed into doubled totals. Validate in
pytest_configure and reject a num-shards below 1.

summary.sh was written from a pre-rename copy and still pointed at
rapidsai/cudf, where run.sh already uses NVIDIA/cudf. Since the script is
best effort and always exits 0, that would have gone quiet rather than red
if the redirect ever stopped resolving.

Shard 1 of run 32294121723 failed on test_stack_multiple_out_of_bounds[False]
and test_to_datetime_iso8601_fails[True-2012-01-01-%Y-%m-%d %H].

Both are nondeterministic rather than deterministic incompatibilities: the
[True] parametrization and the sibling unstack tests run in the other shard
and pass, and the to_datetime case passed in the previous run of this same
shard. Skip them under the existing test-order-dependent reason.

Restrict sharding-only skips to sharded runs.

These entries are added to NODEIDS_TO_SKIP, but Line 5566 applies that map for every run. Therefore tests marked as failing “in pandas-tests sharded CI” are also skipped when --num-shards=1.

Move these entries to a separate sharding-only map and apply that map only when num_shards > 1. Otherwise, local and full-suite runs lose test coverage.

In theory I think we could set N: 8 in the top-level env, then use a bash step that generates seq 0 N-1 for the shard_id. I don't know if that's worth the extra effort though, so I'll defer to you if you want to try that.

Went ahead and did this in 8fa52ae — a pandas-tests-shards job now emits both the matrix and the num-shards argument from a single NUM_SHARDS, so the count only lives in one place.

I'm glad we're at least reusing merge-results.py. It would be nice to also avoid needing merge-nightly.sh as a separate script from summary.sh, or to use merge-nightly.sh directly here if there is any additional common code, but if we have already maxed out how much we can share that is fine.

Shared it in 8fa52ae — the download-and-merge moved to shard-results.sh, leaving only the missing-shard policy (best-effort vs strict) in the two callers.

Derive the shard count from one place. A pandas-tests-shards job emits both
the matrix and the num-shards argument from a single NUM_SHARDS value, so the
matrix and the scripts can no longer disagree.

Share the download-and-merge step between summary.sh and merge-nightly.sh.
The two only ever differed in how they react to a missing shard, so that stays
with the callers and the rest moves to shard-results.sh.

Keep the sharding-only skips out of unsharded runs. The 268 entries added for
sharded CI were going into NODEIDS_TO_SKIP, which applies everywhere, so the
nightly baseline and local runs lost the coverage too. They move to
NODEIDS_TO_SKIP_WHEN_SHARDED, applied only when num_shards > 1.

Report the other shards' tests as deselected instead of dropping them during
collection, so reporting plugins account for them.

Comment thread .github/workflows/pandas-tests.yaml Outdated
pre-commit-ci Bot and others added 2 commits August 25, 2026 19:58
custom-job.yaml declares no secrets in its workflow_call and reads the
secrets context in exactly one place, guarded by the optional
alternative-gh-token-secret-name input. None of these jobs pass that input,
so the Run script step's GH_TOKEN falls back to github.token, which is
available either way. AWS auth is OIDC through vars.AWS_ROLE_ARN and
id-token: write rather than a secret, and the shared-actions steps are
composite actions, which cannot read the secrets context at all.

That makes the inheritance unused here, so it and its zizmor suppression go.
Limited to the jobs this PR already touches; the other 29 callers in pr.yaml
are left alone.

Both workflow files independently redefine the identical pandas-tests-shards job with a hardcoded NUM_SHARDS: 2. This duplicates, across files, the exact single-source-of-truth problem the earlier review comment on pandas-tests.yaml fixed within one file: a future shard-count change now requires editing both files in lockstep, and if only one file is updated, the nightly and PR runs will silently shard differently.

  • .github/workflows/pandas-tests.yaml#L24-L41: derive NUM_SHARDS from a single shared source (for example a repository/organization vars.NUM_SHARDS, or a small reusable/composite workflow that both callers invoke) instead of a locally hardcoded value.
  • .github/workflows/pr.yaml#L938-L955: use the same shared source as pandas-tests.yaml for NUM_SHARDS instead of redefining an identical job with its own hardcoded value.

The inputs context in GitHub Actions is strictly limited to workflows triggered by the workflow_dispatch event (manually) or the workflow_call event (reusable workflows) [1][2][3]. It is not available for the push trigger [4][5]. Key points regarding the availability and behavior of the inputs context: 1. Trigger Availability: The inputs context is only populated when a workflow is triggered by workflow_dispatch or workflow_call [1][2]. If you attempt to reference the inputs context in a workflow triggered by a push event, the values will be undefined (or empty), as the inputs configuration block is not supported for push triggers [4][5]. 2. Handling Multiple Triggers: If a single workflow file defines both workflow_dispatch and other triggers (like push), the inputs context will only contain values when the workflow is manually triggered [3][5]. For non-manual triggers, attempting to access ${{ inputs.<input_name> }} will result in an empty or undefined value [4][5]. 3. Expression Context: Because the inputs context is undefined for push triggers, using expressions like ${{ inputs.my_input }} in those runs will not yield the expected results [5]. Workflow authors typically handle this by using conditional logic based on the event name (e.g., if: ${{ github.event_name == 'push' || inputs.my_input }}) or by separating concerns into different workflows where one acts as a reusable workflow (workflow_call) that is invoked by other workflows [4][5]. 4. Compatibility: While the inputs context is the preferred way to access inputs, values passed via workflow_dispatch are also available in the github.event.inputs context for backward compatibility [6][7][3]. Note that github.event.inputs converts all values to strings, whereas the inputs context preserves types like booleans [6][7].

Use a defined input source for branch, date, and sha.

This workflow runs only on push, so the inputs context is unavailable. These expressions can resolve to empty values before custom-job.yaml receives them. Use push-event values or declare a supported input trigger. actionlint reports the same issue in the existing jobs.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Handle an empty nightly run list before download.

If gh run list returns no runs, the jq expression returns null. Line 60 treats null as a valid run ID. The script then downloads run null and reports a misleading download failure.

Proposed fix
-        --jq 'sort_by(.createdAt) | reverse | .[0] | .databaseId' || true
+        --jq 'sort_by(.createdAt) | reverse | .[0].databaseId // empty' || true

As per path instructions, CI/build scripts must have proper error handling and meaningful error messages.
