It is more trouble than it is worth. The setup is of a loopback device
is very quick, so it's better to always create it when needed and
immediately drop afterwards.
Before, we'd copy the test tree into nspawn-root, and run the tests from there.
This is OK, and doesn't actually take much extra time. But it uses quite a lot
of extra disk space. So let's make things a bit more efficient by running
directly from the image file.
We still run the unprivileged nspawn tests from a copy. Once the kernel
implements fs shift, we can do away with that too.
Before, we'd create a separate image for each test, in
/var/tmp/systemd-test.XXXXX/rootdisk.img. Most of the images
where very similar, except that each one had some unit files installed
specifically for the test. The installation of those custom unit files
was removed in previous commits (all the unit files are always installed).
The new approach is to only create as few distinct images as possible.
We have:
default.img: the "normal" image suitable for almost all the tests
basic.img: the same as default image but doesn't mask any services
cryptsetup.img: p2 is used for encrypted /var
badid.img: /etc/machine-id is overwritten with stuff
selinux.img: with selinux added for fun and fun
and a few others:
ls -l build/test/*img
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 Mar 21 21:23 build/test/badid.img -> /var/tmp/systemd-test.PJFFeo/badid.img
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 Mar 21 21:17 build/test/basic.img -> /var/tmp/systemd-test.na0xOI/basic.img
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 43 Mar 21 21:18 build/test/cryptsetup.img -> /var/tmp/systemd-test.Tzjv06/cryptsetup.img
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 40 Mar 21 21:19 build/test/default.img -> /var/tmp/systemd-test.EscAsS/default.img
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 Mar 21 21:22 build/test/nspawn.img -> /var/tmp/systemd-test.HSebKo/nspawn.img
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 40 Mar 21 21:20 build/test/selinux.img -> /var/tmp/systemd-test.daBjbx/selinux.img
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 Mar 21 21:21 build/test/test08.img -> /var/tmp/systemd-test.OgnN8Z/test08.img
I considered trying to use the same image everywhere. It would probably be
possible, but it would be very brittle. By using separate images where it is
necessary we keep various orthogonal modifications independent.
The way that images are cached is complicated by the fact that we still
want to keep them in /var/tmp. Thus, an image is created on first use and
linked to from build/test/ so it can be found by other tests.
Tests cannot be run in parallel. I think that is an acceptable limitation.
Creation of the images was probably taking more resources then the actual
tests, so we should be better off anyway.
I picked the list of zone files to install by grepping through the code. This
is is a bit brittle, but installing all of them takes a while, and more
importantly, writes a lot of lines to the log.
As in 2a5fcfae02
and in 3e67e5c992
using /usr/bin/env allows bash to be looked up in PATH
rather than being hard-coded.
As with the previous changes the same arguments apply
- distributions have scripts to rewrite shebangs on installation and
they know what locations to rely on.
- For tests/compilation we should rather rely on the user to have setup
there PATH correctly.
In particular this makes testing from git easier on NixOS where do not provide
/bin/bash to improve compose-ability.
This temporarily blacklists some tests when run under Ubuntu CI.
This is the upstream side of the Debian 'upstream' test MR:
https://salsa.debian.org/systemd-team/systemd/merge_requests/52
The tests blacklisted here should only be temporarily blacklisted
until they can be fixed; the intention is that these blacklist files
will be added and removed over time while debugging/fixing flaky
and/or regressed tests, without causing test failure noise for other
PRs.
Almost all tests were manually mounting/unmounting $TESTDIR/root
from the loopback image; this moves all that into test-functions
so the test setup functions are simplier.
Also add test_setup_cleanup() function, to cleanup what is mounted
by create_empty_image_rootdir()
The `set -e` option is incompatible with a subshell/compound command,
which is followed by || <EXPR>. In such case, the -e option is ignored
in all affected subshells/functions (see man bash(1) for command `set`).
We had all kinds of indentation: 2 sp, 3 sp, 4 sp, 8 sp, and mixed.
4 sp was the most common, in particular the majority of scripts under test/
used that. Let's standarize on 4 sp, because many commandlines are long and
there's a lot of nesting, and with 8sp indentation less stuff fits. 4 sp
also seems to be the default indentation, so this will make it less likely
that people will mess up if they don't load the editor config. (I think people
often use vi, and vi has no support to load project-wide configuration
automatically. We distribute a .vimrc file, but it is not loaded by default,
and even the instructions in it seem to discourage its use for security
reasons.)
Also remove the few vim config lines that were left. We should either have them
on all files, or none.
Also remove some strange stuff like '#!/bin/env bash', yikes.
