Data the peer already sent stays unread in the stream and keeps occupying the connection level receive window of the quic session. When the local app aborts a download, that data is never consumed, so the credit is only returned when the read side of the stream is cancelled. Without the cancellation the window drains. The initial stream window is 512 KB and the initial connection window is 768 KB, so a few aborted downloads are enough to exhaust it. Once that happens the peer cannot send data on any stream of the session: new requests still reach the server, the server still acknowledges, there is no idle timeout and no error in the log, and the client waits forever for a response. Only a new session clears it. The test aborts three downloads of a body that is much larger than the flow control window, and then checks that the tunnel still forwards. The client reads very slowly, so the data piles up in the connection that carries it. Verified against go-gost/x#135: with the fix reverted the test fails with a timeout on the request that follows the aborted downloads, which is the reported symptom.
End-to-End Tests
Integration tests that spin up real gost instances inside Docker containers and verify protocol behavior over the network.
Prerequisites
- Docker (running daemon)
- Go toolchain (for compiling the gost binary under test)
Running
From the repository root:
# Run all e2e tests
go test ./tests/e2e/ -v -timeout 10m
# Run a specific test suite
go test ./tests/e2e/ -v -run TestShadowsocksSuite -timeout 5m
go test ./tests/e2e/ -v -run TestParallelSelectorSuite -timeout 5m
# Use a pre-built gost binary (skips compilation)
go test ./tests/e2e/ -v -gost-bin /path/to/gost

How it works
- TestMain (
main_test.go) compiles the gost binary from../../cmd/gost(unless-gost-binis provided) and creates a shared Docker network for all containers. - Each test suite starts echo server containers (TCP/UDP), then launches separate gost containers for server and client roles.
- Client configs use Go template syntax (
{{.ServerAddr}}) so the server address is injected at runtime. - Tests verify end-to-end connectivity by sending traffic through the gost proxy chain and checking that the echo server responds correctly.
Tips
- Increase
-timeoutfor CI or slow networks. Container image builds on first run take extra time. - Use
-gost-binto avoid recompiling when iterating on tests locally. - Add
-vto see container log output on failure. - RunGostContainer will wait for exposedPorts automatically, but it's not reliable for udp ports. So, you should check the readiness of udp ports inside cases.
