Flaky test: TestImagePullNonExisting

Author: GordonTheTurtleCreated Sep 14, 2026Updated Sep 17, 2026

Description

TestImagePullNonExisting/library/asdfasdf failed in CI on the master branch within the last 72 hours, then passed on an independent branch's run of the same test shortly after — consistent with CI flakiness rather than a code regression on master.

Run Branch Job Result

The test asserts that pulling a non-existent image returns the expected error; a likely cause is a transient registry/network hiccup (timeout or unexpected error string) rather than a logic bug, but worth investigating for a more robust assertion/retry.
