Flaky tests

How are you using the lua-language-server?

Other

Which OS are you using?

Linux

What is the issue affecting?

Other

Expected Behaviour

Tests pass all the time.

Actual Behaviour

Tests sometimes fail.

Reproduction steps

1. Run ./make.sh

Additional Notes

I'm updating luals in a linux software repository called nixpkgs. There we also run the tests after we build it, and those fail sometimes, see https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/352961#issuecomment-2452494838

Linux 上で ./make.sh を繰り返し実行し、出力された test/tclient/tests/load-relative-library.lua:54 の失敗を出発点として使います。周辺のテストと script/lclient.lua を通る報告された呼び出し経路を読み、なぜ assertion が断続的に発生するのかを特定します。テストスイートがこの失敗なしに安定して完了すれば完了です。
