I think this matches the spirit of "indirect" well: the unit
*might* be active, even though it is not "installed" in the
sense of symlinks created based on the [Install] section.
The changes to test-install-root touch the same lines as in the previous
commit; the change in each case is from
assert_se(unit_file_get_state(...) >= 0 && state == UNIT_FILE_ENABLED)
to
assert_se(unit_file_get_state(...) >= 0 && state == UNIT_FILE_DISABLED)
to
assert_se(unit_file_get_state(...) >= 0 && state == UNIT_FILE_INDIRECT)
in the last two commits.
When a unit has a symlink that makes an alias in the filesystem,
but that name is not specified in [Install], it is confusing
is the unit is shown as "enabled". Look only for names specified
in Alias=.
Fixes#6338.
v2:
- Fix indentation.
- Fix checking for normal enablement, when the symlink name is the same as the
unit name. This case wasn't handled properly in v1.
v3:
- Rework the patch to also handle templates properly:
A template templ@.service with DefaultInstance=foo will be considered
enabled only when templ@foo.service symlink is found. Symlinks with
other instance names do not count, which matches the logic for aliases
to normal units. Tests are updated.
If a unit foobar@.service stored below /usr is instantiated via a
symlink foobar@quux.service also below /usr, then we should consider the
instance statically enabled, while the template itself should continue
to be considered enabled/disabled/static depending on its [Install]
section.
In order to implement this we'll now look for enablement symlinks in all
unit search paths, not just in the config and runtime dirs.
Fixes: #5136
When a unit file is invalid, we'd return an error without any details:
$ systemctl --root=/ enable testing@instance.service
Failed to enable: Invalid argument.
Fix things to at least print the offending file name:
$ systemctl enable testing@instance.service
Failed to enable unit: File testing@instance.service: Invalid argument
$ systemctl --root=/ enable testing@instance.service
Failed to enable unit, file testing@instance.service: Invalid argument.
A real fix would be to pass back a proper error message from conf-parser.
But this would require major surgery, since conf-parser functions now
simply print log errors, but we would need to return them over the bus.
So let's just print the file name, to indicate where the error is.
(Incomplete) fix for #4210.
User expectations are broken when "systemctl enable /some/path/service.service"
behaves differently to "systemctl link ..." followed by "systemctl enable".
From user's POV, "enable" with the full path just combines the two steps into
one.
Fixes#3010.
This tests to make sure that preset patterns are checked in the order
they were declared. Both "prefix-1.service" and "prefix-2.service" match
against two rules: their exact name (which enables the service) and
"prefix-*.service" (which disables the service). Because of the
ordering, only "prefix-1.service" should be enabled.
If the error code ever leaks (we print the strerror error instead of providing
our own), the message for ESHUTDOWN is "Cannot send after transport endpoint
shutdown", which can be misleading. In particular it suggest that some
mishandling of the dbus connection occured. Let's change that to ERFKILL which
has the advantage that a) it sounds implausible as actual error, b) has the
connotation of disabling something manually.
This allows dropping all user configuration and reverting back to the vendor
default of a unit file. It basically undoes what "systemctl edit", "systemctl
set-property" and "systemctl mask" do.
Some distributions use alias unit files via symlinks in /usr to cover
for legacy service names. With this change we'll allow "systemctl
enable" on such aliases.
Previously, our rule was that symlinks are user configuration that
"systemctl enable" + "systemctl disable" creates and removes, while unit
files is where the instructions to do so are store. As a result of the
rule we'd never read install information through symlinks, since that
would mix enablement state with installation instructions.
Now, the new rule is that only symlinks inside of /etc are
configuration. Unit files, and symlinks in /usr are now valid for
installation instructions.
This patch is quite a rework of the whole install logic, and makes the
following addional changes:
- Adds a complete test "test-instal-root" that tests the install logic
pretty comprehensively.
- Never uses canonicalize_file_name(), because that's incompatible with
operation relative to a specific root directory.
- unit_file_get_state() is reworked to return a proper error, and
returns the state in a call-by-ref parameter. This cleans up confusion
between the enum type and errno-like errors.
- The new logic puts a limit on how long to follow unit file symlinks:
it will do so only for 64 steps at max.
- The InstallContext object's fields are renamed to will_process and
has_processed (will_install and has_installed) since they are also
used for deinstallation and all kinds of other operations.
- The root directory is always verified before use.
- install.c is reordered to place the exported functions together.
- Stricter rules are followed when traversing symlinks: the unit suffix
must say identical, and it's not allowed to link between regular units
and templated units.
- Various modernizations
- The "invalid" unit file state has been renamed to "bad", in order to
avoid confusion between UNIT_FILE_INVALID and
_UNIT_FILE_STATE_INVALID. Given that the state should normally not be
seen and is not documented this should not be a problematic change.
The new name is now documented however.
Fixes#1375, #1718, #1706
