The
FileSaltStoretests are flaky, particularly the 'should work correctly with multiple instances using same file' test. It turns out, the flakiness is from theFileSaltStore's implementation, not the test itself.When two instances of the service attempt to use the same file, they can experience a race condition when trying to initialize or write to the file. This fixes this by using a proper lockfile mechanism with the
proper-lockfilepackage.
