condition-based-waiting

To fix flaky tests caused by race conditions, replace arbitrary timeouts with condition polling to wait for actual states or data changes. This ensures tests pass reliably by verifying conditions are met rather than guessing durations.

Condition polling in asynchronous operations continuously checks for a specific state, event, or data change instead of pausing execution for a fixed duration. It provides robust coordination by reacting to actual system readiness.

You wait for an API response in tests by using generic polling functions to check for the actual presence of the response data. This event-based waiting approach eliminates timing dependencies and intermittent failures.

Yes, condition-based waiting works with event-based asynchronous architectures by preferring event-based waiting when available. It provides domain-specific helpers to robustly coordinate operations across different asynchronous patterns.

You should replace arbitrary timeouts with condition polling when tests exhibit intermittent pass/fail behavior, timing dependencies, or race conditions. It ensures code waits for actual conditions to be met robustly.
