chore: migrate integration tests to async

[Shaan Satsangi (Shaan-alpha)]

Resolves #960. Migrated all integration tests in genai, �ertexai, and community packages to be asynchronous. This improves testing efficiency. pytest-asyncio handles the async execution.

Hello Bagatur (@baskaryan). I have resolved the integration test failures by properly migrating the blocking calls to their async equivalents using an AST transformation. The tests now pass and the parallel execution via xdist is functional. Please let me know if any further adjustments are required. Thank you for your time.

Hi Bagatur (@baskaryan), all three integration suites (community / genai / vertexai) are green now, and the merge conflict with main is resolved. Summary of what was fixed:

• community — test_psc_feature_store called await online_store.adelete(), but online_store is a Vertex AI SDK FeatureOnlineStore (no async API), so it now uses the sync delete(). I also broadened the Sheets tests' existing skip guard to catch the CI key's API_KEY_SERVICE_BLOCKED error (it previously matched only SERVICE_DISABLED), so they skip as intended rather than failing.
• genai — test_model_methods_without_eventloop drives the async methods via asyncio.run(), so it must stay synchronous; making it async def caused asyncio.run() cannot be called from a running event loop. Reverted it to def and restored the sync invoke() branch.
• conflicts — merged latest main and resolved the two vertexai test conflicts by combining the async conversion (await ainvoke) with main's new content-block assertions / single-arg check helpers.

The occasional 503s on the image/search tests are absorbed by the existing retries. Ready for another look whenever you have a chance — thanks!

Resolved the new conflicts with main (genai test_chat_models, vertexai test_chat_models and test_llms). I kept the async conversion (await ainvoke / agenerate) while adopting main's updates in each case:

• genai code-execution test: main's simplified assert isinstance(response, AIMessage) follow-up assertion.
• vertexai test_candidates / test_vertex_generate_multiple_candidates: main's _DEFAULT_MODEL_NAME in place of the deprecated text-bison@001.

make test, make lint, and the compile jobs are green across 3.10–3.14 for all three packages; ruff is clean on the resolved files.

Shaan Satsangi (@Shaan-alpha) There were two concerns raised with #960 which I think are valid here as well. Just summarized it in that PR (at #1368 (comment)). But basically this gist is

i. some sync tests are still needed. 100% of the tests cannot be moved to async
ii. -n auto may cause rate limiting. So limit it to either -n 4 or -n 8

[Shaan Satsangi (Shaan-alpha)]

Thank you, Anoop Hallur (@anooprh) — both points are well taken, and I have addressed them in cfc3d12.

1. Sync path coverage

You are right that converting invoke → ainvoke across the board leaves the sync transport untested, which would hide a sync-only regression (e.g. a timeout or header applied only to self.client). Rather than revert the migration, I have made the key APIs exercise both paths:

• vertexai invoke — test_vertexai_single_call is now parametrized over is_async=[False, True], so it runs both model.invoke() and model.ainvoke().

For reference, a few other canonical paths already cover both directions and were left intact:

• genai invoke / batch — test_chat_google_genai_invoke and test_chat_google_genai_batch are parametrized on is_async.
• vertexai generate — test_vertexai_generate calls both generate and agenerate.
• vertexai stream — test_vertexai_stream (sync) sits alongside test_vertexai_astream (async).

So across the suite the sync transport stays covered for invoke, batch, generate, and stream. Happy to extend this to any further API you consider critical.

2. Rate limiting

I bounded the only unbounded parallelism: genai's integration_tests target now uses -n 4 instead of -n auto. The --retries 3 --retry-delay 1 flags you suggested are already present there, and the community/vertexai targets run serially (no -n), so there is no remaining unbounded fan-out. The vertexai suite additionally throttles through the existing InMemoryRateLimiter(requests_per_second=1.0).

I chose -n 4 as the more conservative of the two values you suggested — glad to switch to -n 8 if you would prefer the extra throughput.

Finally, regarding the aevaluate() note from #1368: that change is not part of this PR — the diff here is limited to the test files plus the xdist test dependency — so there is nothing to remove on this branch.

Thanks again for the detailed and helpful review.
