Summary

  • Significantly expanded JET test coverage for LinearSolve.jl to test every available solver type
  • Organized tests into logical groups with clear testsets for better readability and maintenance
  • Used @test_skip for tests that currently fail JET optimization checks, making them visible without blocking CI

Changes

  • Complete solver coverage: Added JET tests for all dense factorizations, sparse factorizations, Krylov methods, and extension-based solvers
  • Proper test organization: Tests are now grouped by solver category (Dense, Sparse, Krylov, Extensions)
  • Appropriate test problems: Created specific test problems (symmetric, SPD, sparse) for solvers that require them
  • Graceful failure handling: Tests that fail are marked with @test_skip instead of being commented out
  • Platform-specific handling: Added conditional checks for platform-specific solvers (MKL, Apple Accelerate)

Test Results

Currently passing JET tests:

  • 7 dense factorizations (LU, GenericLU, Diagonal, SimpleLU, NormalCholesky, NormalBunchKaufman, init)
  • 1 extension factorization (RFLU)

Tests marked as skipped (due to current JET failures):

  • Various dense factorizations (QR, Cholesky, LDLt, SVD, BunchKaufman, Generic)
  • Sparse factorizations (UMFPACK, KLU, CHOLMOD, Sparspak)
  • Krylov methods (GMRES, CG, MINRES, BICGSTAB, LSMR, CRAIGMR, MINARES, SimpleGMRES)
  • Default solver selection

These skipped tests are now visible in the test output, making it easier to track and improve type stability across the codebase.

Test plan

  • Verify all tests run correctly locally
  • CI should pass with the new tests
  • Future work can address the skipped tests to improve type stability

This commit significantly expands the JET test coverage for LinearSolve.jl to test every available solver type. The improvements include:

- **Complete solver coverage**: Added JET tests for all dense factorizations, sparse factorizations, Krylov methods, and extension-based solvers
- **Proper test organization**: Organized tests into logical groups with clear testsets for better readability and maintenance
- **Appropriate test problems**: Created specific test problems (symmetric, SPD, sparse) for solvers that require them
- **Graceful failure handling**: Used @test_skip for tests that currently fail JET optimization checks, making them visible without blocking CI
- **Platform-specific handling**: Added conditional checks for platform-specific solvers (MKL, Apple Accelerate)

The tests now provide comprehensive coverage while properly handling expected failures, making it easier to track and improve type stability across the codebase.

The previous approach using @test_skip didn't work correctly because JET.@test_opt doesn't return a Boolean value when it fails. Instead, it throws a test failure which cannot be caught with @test_skip.

This commit simplifies the test file by:
- Only running JET tests that currently pass
- Documenting all failing tests with TODO comments explaining the type stability issues
- Providing the full test suite as commented code for future fixes

This ensures CI passes while still providing visibility into which solvers need type stability improvements.
This commit updates the JET tests to properly mark failing tests as broken using @test_broken. This approach:

- Makes failing tests visible in test output as 'broken' rather than hiding them
- Allows CI to pass while documenting which solvers need type stability improvements
- Will automatically alert us when broken tests start passing (unexpected pass)

The @test_broken syntax requires wrapping JET.@test_opt in parentheses with ; false to create a boolean expression that can be marked as broken.
The previous attempt to use @test_broken didn't work because JET.@test_opt doesn't return a boolean value - it either passes or throws a test failure.

This commit simplifies the approach by:
- Only running JET tests that currently pass
- Documenting all failing tests as comments with detailed explanations
- Including the specific type stability issues for each disabled test

This ensures CI passes while maintaining visibility of which solvers need type stability improvements. The commented tests serve as documentation and can be easily re-enabled once the underlying issues are fixed.
- CholeskyFactorization now passes JET tests
- SVDFactorization now passes JET tests
- MKLLUFactorization now passes JET tests
- KrylovJL_CG, KrylovJL_BICGSTAB, KrylovJL_LSMR, KrylovJL_CRAIGMR now pass
- SimpleGMRES now passes JET tests
- Skip extension solvers that require packages not loaded in test environment

These solvers were marked as broken but actually pass on Julia 1.11.6,
causing 'Unexpected Pass' errors in CI. Updated to properly categorize
passing vs failing tests.
