LucasEby opened a new issue, #24870: URL: https://github.com/apache/pulsar/issues/24870
### Search before reporting - [x] I searched in the [issues](https://github.com/apache/pulsar/issues) and found nothing similar. ### Read release policy - [x] I understand that [unsupported versions](https://pulsar.apache.org/contribute/release-policy/#supported-versions) don't get bug fixes. I will attempt to reproduce the issue on a supported version of Pulsar client and Pulsar broker. ### User environment Broker version: 4.2.0-SNAPSHOT Broker Operating system and hardware type: Linux x86_64 GNU/Linux Broker Java version: 17.0.16 ### Issue Description The below test performed an assertion that incorrectly assumed the order of the [HashSet](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/HashSet.html) data that was utilized in the formation of one of the arrays. No guarantees are made to the iteration order of the set or that this order will remain constant over time. As a result, the ordering can change due to different environments producing the contents in different orders despite the logical contents being the same. - `org.apache.pulsar.common.policies.data.PoliciesDataTest.propertyAdmin` I discovered the problem with the [NonDex](https://github.com/TestingResearchIllinois/NonDex) tool. NonDex systematically detects incorrect tests that rely on non-deterministic behaviors in Java APIs—like assuming order of name/value pairs in json files — by exploring all specification-allowed outcomes. It does this by instrumenting undetermined APIs and randomizing the returned order/behavior within what the spec allows. Failures it exposes reliably indicate flawed assumptions in order that were never promised and should be fixed. ### Error messages ```text [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------- [INFO] T E S T S [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------- [INFO] Running org.apache.pulsar.common.policies.data.PoliciesDataTest [ERROR] Tests run: 2, Failures: 1, Errors: 0, Skipped: 1, Time elapsed: 2.909 s <<< FAILURE! -- in org.apache.pulsar.common.policies.data.PoliciesDataTest [ERROR] org.apache.pulsar.common.policies.data.PoliciesDataTest.propertyAdmin -- Time elapsed: 0.005 s <<< FAILURE! java.lang.AssertionError: Lists differ at element [0]: role1 != role2 expected [role1] but found [role2] at org.testng.Assert.fail(Assert.java:110) at org.testng.Assert.failNotEquals(Assert.java:1577) at org.testng.Assert.assertEqualsImpl(Assert.java:149) at org.testng.Assert.assertEquals(Assert.java:1643) at org.testng.Assert.assertEquals(Assert.java:1605) at org.apache.pulsar.common.policies.data.PoliciesDataTest.propertyAdmin(PoliciesDataTest.java:74) at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:77) at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.base/java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:569) at org.testng.internal.invokers.MethodInvocationHelper.invokeMethod(MethodInvocationHelper.java:139) at org.testng.internal.invokers.InvokeMethodRunnable.runOne(InvokeMethodRunnable.java:47) at org.testng.internal.invokers.InvokeMethodRunnable.call(InvokeMethodRunnable.java:76) at org.testng.internal.invokers.InvokeMethodRunnable.call(InvokeMethodRunnable.java:11) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:264) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1136) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:635) at java.base/java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:840) [INFO] [INFO] Results: [INFO] [ERROR] Failures: [ERROR] org.apache.pulsar.common.policies.data.PoliciesDataTest.propertyAdmin [INFO] Run 1: PASS [ERROR] Run 2: PoliciesDataTest.propertyAdmin:74 Lists differ at element [0]: role1 != role2 expected [role1] but found [role2] [INFO] [INFO] [ERROR] Tests run: 1, Failures: 1, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0 ``` ### Reproducing the issue You can replicate the problem with the [NonDex](https://github.com/TestingResearchIllinois/NonDex) tool command: ``` mvn -pl pulsar-common -Dtest=org.apache.pulsar.common.policies.data.PoliciesDataTest#propertyAdmin -DnondexSeed=1554838 edu.illinois:nondex-maven-plugin:2.2.1:nondex ``` ### Additional information _No response_ ### Are you willing to submit a PR? - [x] I'm willing to submit a PR! -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
