fix(sample): mitigate flakiness in subscriber_test (#304)

Takashi Matsuo · web-flow · commit 18418f1bead2 · 2021-03-01T19:05:08.000-08:00
* fix(sample): mitigate flakiness in subscriber_test fixes #289 fixes #288 I think there were few problems with the tests. 1. google.api_core.exceptions.Unknown is not retried. 2. number of messages published in test_receive_synchronously_with_lease was 5, but the sample code is fetching 3 messages in bulk. 3. assertion in test_receive_synchronously_with_lease was too strict. 4. failure in subscriber_test was incorrectly considered a failure in teardown of quickstart_test. I hope these changes will mitigate the flakiness. * lint * also retry NotFound for dlq subscription * lint * ignore NotFound on deletion * lint
