Goal

Fix AND-1454. After #1782 the nightly E2E run is green on API 28, 31 and 32, but run 33062751723 still fails on API 33, 34 and 35 with two issues in the outgoing ringing tests.

Implementation

Issue 1: the outgoing call UI stays on "Connecting..." while the call is already connected. The run artifacts show the exact sequence. In the join-and-ring flow the SFU JoinCallResponseEvent sets the ringing state to Outgoing directly, but the ring request registers the call in client.state.ringingCall only later. In the failing attempts a call.session_started coordinator event landed in that window, re-ran updateRingingState() with hasRingingCall = false, and downgraded Outgoing back to Idle (logcat: Updating ringing state Outgoing -> Idle). Nothing recomputed the state afterwards and no CallRingEvent is delivered to the caller, so the state stayed Idle and the UI rendered the full screen "Connecting..." (LoadingContent) until the 30s wait for Stream_DeclineCallButton timed out. Passing runs recovered only because some later event happened to re-run updateRingingState() after the ring completed.

Two changes in the core:

  • CallState.updateRingingState() keeps the current Outgoing state instead of falling back to Idle while join-and-ring is in progress and the ringing call is not registered yet.
  • CallJoinCoordinator.joinAndRing() recomputes the ringing state right after markRinging(), so the state recovers deterministically once the ring request succeeds, without depending on a later coordinator event.

Issue 2: instant asserts in assertOutgoingCall race the async control state. On API 34 the outgoing screen was rendered but the microphone toggle still showed the muted state at the instant the check ran. The label, avatar, microphone and camera checks now poll with waitDisplayed, the same pattern AND-1445 applied to the settings menu guards.

The testUserAcceptsTheIncomingVideoCall failure seen on #1776 is a different bucket (leave-when-last-in-call firing during an SFU reconnect) and is tracked in AND-1455.

Further nightly buckets fixed on this branch (found while verifying the fix with nightly runs on the branch):

  • assertUserMicrophone polled the control toggle but checked the participant view icon with an instant isDisplayed(). The hierarchy dumps taken right after the failures already contained the expected icon, so the state arrives and only the instant check misses it. Both checks poll now. This bucket failed testCameraAndMicrophoneConfigurationInLobby (all 3 attempts, API 32) and testUserMicrophone (all 3 attempts on PR Single-flight Call.join to stop concurrent-join race #1764, plus single attempts on several API levels).
  • assertRecordingView could leak a raw StaleObjectException from waitToAppear(...).isDisplayed() and hide the real failure. It uses the stale-safe waitDisplayed now.
  • testReconnectionDuringCallRecording raced its own recording window: the buddy stops the recording 30s after its start request, the composite recorder needs 20-30s to start, and the drop plus reconnect plus asserts consumed the rest on slow emulators. The recording actually survives the reconnect fine (it is server side and the recording participant stays online). The window is now 90s. For comparison, neither the JS nor the Swift SDK has a reconnect-plus-recording scenario or any reconnect-time recording handling, so no SDK change is needed for this one.

For the core change, the Swift SDK confirms the approach: its joinAndRingCall sets the outgoing state explicitly and suppresses competing call state updates while the ring is in flight (skipCallStateUpdates in CallViewModel), which is the same principle as keeping Outgoing authoritative during join-and-ring here. The JS SDK avoids the bug class entirely by using explicit state transitions instead of recomputing from flags.

🎨 UI Changes

Not applicable. No visual changes, the fix removes a state where the outgoing ringing UI never appeared.

Testing

  • New RingingStateJoinAndRingTest reproduces the race on a real CallState with a mocked client: one test asserts that a recompute in the pre-ring window keeps Outgoing, one asserts that the recompute after markRinging() yields Outgoing(acceptedByCallee = false). Both fail without the fix and pass with it.
  • Full :stream-video-android-core unit test suite and apiCheck pass locally, and the E2E androidTest source set compiles.
  • CI verification: dispatch the E2E workflow on this branch with test_class: io.getstream.video.android.tests.RingingTests on API 33, 34 and 35, where the nightly failed.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved outgoing call behavior so the ringing interface remains visible while a join-and-ring call is being established.
    • Ensured ringing state updates correctly after the call request is registered.
    • Improved call controls’ display behavior, including correct camera visibility for audio-only calls.
    • Reduced timing-related issues when displaying outgoing call labels, avatars, and microphone controls.
  • Tests

    • Added regression coverage for join-and-ring state handling and outgoing call controls.

In the join-and-ring flow the SFU join response sets the ringing state to
Outgoing directly, but the ring request registers the call in
client.state.ringingCall only later. A coordinator event landing in that
window (for example call.session_started) recomputed the ringing state with
hasRingingCall = false and downgraded Outgoing back to Idle. Nothing
recomputed the state afterwards, so the caller stayed on the full screen
"Connecting..." UI until the E2E test timed out (nightly failures on
API 33, 34 and 35).

- Keep the current Outgoing state in updateRingingState while join-and-ring
  is in progress and the ringing call is not registered yet.
- Recompute the ringing state right after markRinging() in joinAndRing, so
  the state recovers even when no later coordinator event arrives.
- Poll the assertOutgoingCall controls with waitDisplayed instead of instant
  isDisplayed calls, because the microphone toggle can still show the muted
  state at the instant the outgoing screen renders.

updateRingingState keeps Outgoing while join-and-ring is active. joinAndRing recomputes the state after ringing registration. Tests configure event collection and detect uncaught coroutine exceptions.

Outgoing call assertions

Layer / File(s) Summary
Wait for outgoing call controls
demo-app/src/androidTestE2etestingDebug/kotlin/io/getstream/video/android/robots/UserRobotCallAsserts.kt
assertOutgoingCall waits for the label, avatar, microphone toggle, and applicable camera toggle. Audio-only calls require both camera toggles to be absent.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 4f8ef

The PR fixes the outgoing join-and-ring UI race and makes related assertions wait for asynchronous state updates. A bounded recovery risk remains because failed or cancelled join-and-ring attempts may leave progress state set, which could affect later call-state updates; the change is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up cleanup.

Poem

A rabbit kept the ringing state,
And checked each control before it came.
The camera stayed away for sound,
While tests watched errors underground.
Join-and-ring now follows its path.

- RingingStateJoinAndRingTest now extends TestBase and runs with Robolectric.
  The CallState under test collects call.events, and on the relaxed mock this
  threw KotlinNothingValueException into the global uncaught handler. The test
  framework attributed that exception to the next runTest in the same JVM,
  which failed SpeakerManagerTest on CI. The events flow is now a real
  MutableSharedFlow, and the CallState scope has an exception handler that
  fails this test instead of leaking.
- assertOutgoingCall checks that both camera toggle states are absent for
  audio-only calls.

- Remove the unused createdBySelf variable in updateRingingState.
- Merge the nested if statements in CallJoinCoordinator (isPermanentError
  and the SFU connect failure recovery check).
- Use DispatcherProvider.Default instead of a hardcoded Dispatchers.Default
  in observeTelecomHold, and rename the unused lambda parameter to _.

The remaining findings (cognitive complexity of updateRingingState and the
chained if statements in it) are pre-existing structure of the ringing state
machine and are left for a separate refactor.
The SonarCloud cleanup touched two lines in observeTelecomHold, and those
were the only uncovered new lines in the PR (new-code coverage dropped to
72.7% against the 80% gate). The path had no coverage at all, so add a real
behavior test: when Android Telecom puts an active call on hold, the SDK
leaves the call with SdkCause.CALL_ON_HOLD.

The observer runs on DispatcherProvider.Default, which stays a real
dispatcher in unit tests (DispatcherRule overrides only Main and IO), so the
verification uses a timeout.
On API 31 and 32 the nightly run showed assertUserMicrophone failing while
the hierarchy dump taken right after the failure already contained both the
enabled toggle and the enabled participant icon. The participant view icon
updates slightly after the control toggle, and the assert checked it with an
instant isDisplayed() right after the toggle appeared. Poll both checks with
waitDisplayed, the same pattern assertOutgoingCall uses.
The develop nightly on API 34 leaked a raw StaleObjectException from
assertRecordingView: waitToAppear absorbs staleness while waiting, but the
returned node can go stale before isDisplayed() reads visibleCenter. Use the
stale-safe waitDisplayed with the same 30s window, so the real failure is
reported instead of the stale read.
…nect

testReconnectionDuringCallRecording kept exhausting all 3 attempts on the
nightly with 'expected Recording but was Reconnecting..'. The recording is
server side and survives the user's reconnect fine; it was the test racing
its own budget. The buddy participant stops the recording 30 seconds after
its start request, the composite recorder alone needs 20-30s to start, and
the drop plus reconnect plus the polling asserts consumed the rest on slow
CI emulators, so the assert ran after the recording legitimately ended.
Raise the window to 90 seconds. The plain recording test already uses 60
without a reconnect in the middle.
