Pull request overview
This PR improves Hyperlight’s test ergonomics and CI runtime by removing several #[ignore] tests (making them concurrency-safe), eliminating the GUEST={c,rust} env-var split, and introducing explicit “run with Rust/C/both guests” test helpers so integration tests only need a single run.
Changes:
- Replace
GUEST-based guest selection with explicit helpers (with_rust_*,with_c_*,with_all_*) and update host/integration tests accordingly. - Make previously-isolated tests safe to run in parallel (e.g., tracing interest caching workaround, shared-mem drop test, reduced sandbox stress test size).
- Improve test assertions/output (remove debug prints, add more informative assertion contexts) and adjust guest/test expectations (e.g.,
ExecuteOnHeapmessage).

…ent-safe Reduces thread count (20->10) and sandboxes per thread (50->20) so the test can run alongside other tests without exhausting system resources. Removes #[ignore] and the corresponding test-isolated entry in the Justfile. Signed-off-by: Ludvig Liljenberg <4257730+ludfjig@users.noreply.github.com>

Use Interest::sometimes() in TracingSubscriber to prevent the global interest cache from permanently caching Interest::never() when another thread's no-op subscriber registers callsites first. Add a warmup call + rebuild_interest_cache() to ensure callsites are properly registered before the real test run. Also removes the now-unused build_metadata_testing module and TestLogger dependency.

Replace the GUEST environment variable approach with explicit helper functions (with_rust_sandbox, with_c_sandbox, with_all_sandboxes, etc.) that make test intent clearer and remove runtime environment coupling. Each test now explicitly declares which guest(s) it needs. Tests that work with both guests use with_all_sandboxes to run against both Rust and C guests in a single test invocation, removing the need for separate test-integration runs per guest language.

Move the test from integration tests into the layout module where it belongs, and rewrite it to test SandboxMemoryLayout::get_memory_size directly instead of going through UninitializedSandbox::new. Signed-off-by: Ludvig Liljenberg <4257730+ludfjig@users.noreply.github.com>
…tests
Adds descriptive error messages to pattern-matching assertions so test failures show the actual value. Removes println!("{:?}", res) calls that were only useful for manual debugging.

Reduces
build-testCI step from around 20min to 10min!Makes several previously-isolated tests concurrent-safe so they no longer need
#[ignore]and separate CI runs:test_drop: use unique mapping size instead of address-based checkscreate_1000_sandboxes: reduce to 200 sandboxes, rename accordinglyexecute_on_heap: remove#[ignore], test both feature paths inlinetest_trace_trace: fixInterestcaching race withInterest::sometimes()and callsite warmupReplaces the
GUEST={c,rust}env var with explicit helpers (with_rust_sandbox,with_c_sandbox,with_all_sandboxes), so each test declares which guest(s) it needs andtest-integrationonly runs once. This reduces CI time by alot, since we're not accidentally running some tests twice (wit-tests, etc)Also improves
assert!(matches!())calls with error context and removes debugprintln!.Removes need for speciying GUEST={c,rust} when running integratiton tests. This will deduplicate a bunch of tests injust testand therefore CI, since we are currently accidentally running a bunch of tests that don't rely on c/rust guests twice for no reason.Certain tests still require #[ignore] (logging tests) but hopefully these can be removed soon as well. Please review PR commit-by-commit.
Todo in future PR: remove more duplicate tests when running tracing tests (runs all tests AGAIN, which is not needed)
