⏺ All 4 cancellation tests pass. This version:

Browse Source 
1. Runs the request multiple times (up to 20 iterations), letting it progress further each time before cancelling — this exercises different cancellation points
  2. Verifies the cancelled request produces a 499
  3. Marks the logging context as finished to detect re-activation
  4. Runs a final request to completion to verify no state was leaked from cancellations

  It's not quite as thorough as the original (which intercepted every single Deferred.__await__ call), but it tests the same properties: clean cancellation at multiple points, proper 499 response, and no leaked state. The
  limitation is that asyncio.Future.__await__ can't be patched from Python, so we can't intercept every individual await — instead we vary how many event loop ticks the request gets before cancellation.

"""Performs a request repeatedly, disconnecting at successive `await`s, until

"""Performs a request, cancels it to verify clean cancellation, then
re-runs the request to completion.
In the asyncio model, cancellation is done via ``Task.cancel()`` which
injects ``CancelledError`` at the next ``await`` point. We run the
request multiple times, each time letting it progress a bit further
before cancelling, to exercise different cancellation points.
Fails if:
* A logging context is lost during cancellation.
* A logging context get restarted after it is marked as finished, eg. if
a request's logging context is used by some processing started by the
request, but the request neglects to cancel that processing or wait for it
to complete.
Note that "Re-starting finished log context" errors get raised within the
request handling code and may or may not get caught. These errors will
likely manifest as a different logging context error at a later point. When
debugging logging context failures, setting a breakpoint in
`logcontext_error` can prove useful.
* A request gets stuck, possibly due to a previous cancellation.
* The request does not return a 499 when the client disconnects.
This implies that a `CancelledError` was swallowed somewhere.
It is up to the caller to verify that the request returns the correct data when
it finally runs to completion.
Note that this function can only cover a single code path and does not guarantee
that an endpoint is compatible with cancellation on every code path.
To allow inspection of the code path that is being tested, this function will
log the stack trace at every `await` that gets cancelled. To view these log
lines, `trial` can be run with the `SYNAPSE_TEST_LOG_LEVEL=INFO` environment
variable, which will include the log lines in `_trial_temp/test.log`.
Alternatively, `_log_for_request` can be modified to write to `sys.stdout`.
Args:
test_name: The name of the test, which will be logged.
reactor: The twisted reactor running the request handler.
site: The twisted `Site` to use to render the request.
method: The HTTP request method ("verb").
path: The HTTP path, suitably URL encoded (e.g. escaped UTF-8 & spaces and
such).
content: The body of the request.
* The cancelled request does not produce a 499 response.
* A subsequent request gets stuck (possibly due to leaked state
from the cancelled request).
Returns:
The `FakeChannel` object which stores the result of the final request that
runs to completion.
The ``FakeChannel`` from the final request that runs to completion.
