-Ws on VTest is not working correctly for an unknown reason, the polling
of the NOTIFY_SOCKET seems to timeout, and VTest never receives the
READY message.
This patch disables the reg-tests using -Ws on OS X.
The -W mode implemented in VTest is not reliable anymore, because VTest
waits for the pidfile to be created. But with the new master-worker
mode, this file is created long before haproxy is ready. This can lead
to the test being started too soon, and failing from time to time.
The -Ws option allows to wait for haproxy to deliver a message to VTest
once it is ready.
Every reg-test now runs without any warning, so let's acivate -dW by
default so the new ones will inheritate the option.
This patch reverts 9d511b3c ("REGTESTS: enable -dW on almost all tests
to fail on warnings") and adds -dW in the default HAPROXY_ARGS of
scripts/run-regtests.sh instead.
Now that warnings were almost all removed, let's enable zero-warning
via -dW. All tests were adjusted, but two:
- mcli/mcli_start_progs.vtc:
the programs section currently cannot be silenced
- stats/stats-file.vtc:
the warning comes from the stats file itself on comment lines.
All other ones are now OK.
When vtest starts haproxy process, it loops until the moment, when haproxy
pidfile is created. When pidfile is created, vtest considers that haproxy
process is ready and it starts to perform test commands, in particular, it
connects to CLI. It's not very reliable approach to base the check of the
process readiness on the PID file. After master-worker architecture
refactoring pidfile is created in the early init stage, but master and worker
are not yet finished its initialization routines. So, all mcli tests and some
tests where we sent commands to CLI start to fail regularly.
In vtest at the moment there is no any other approach to check that the
process is really ready. So let's add a delay 0.1s before connecting to CLI in
all mcli tests and in acl_cli_spaces test.
There's a warning being reported in this reg test in the detailed startup
logs because of "log global" and "option httplog" while there's no global
section hence no logger. Let's just drop both options since they're not
relevant to this test.
With the CI occasionally slowing down, we're starting to see again some
spurious failures despite the long 1-second timeouts. This reports false
positives that are disturbing and doesn't provide as much value as this
could. However at this delay it already becomes a pain for developers
to wait for the tests to complete.
This commit adds support for the new environment variable
HAPROXY_TEST_TIMEOUT that will allow anyone to modify the connect,
client and server timeouts. It was set to 5 seconds by default, which
should be plenty for quite some time in the CI. All relevant values
that were 200ms or above were replaced by this one. A few larger
values were left as they are special. One test for the set-timeout
action that used to rely on a fixed 1-sec value was extended to a
fixed 5-sec, as the timeout is normally not reached, but it needs
to be known to compare the old and new values.
A few regtests continue to regularly fail in highly loaded VMs because
they have very short timeouts. Actually the goal of running with short
timeouts was to make sure we do not uselessly wait during tests designed
to trigger them, but these timeouts here are never supposed to fire at
all, so they don't need to be kept in the 15-20ms range. They do not
pose any issue on any regular machine, but VMs are often suffering from
huge time jumps and cannot always produce responses in that short of a
time.
Just like with commit ce6fc25b1 ("REGTEST: increase timeouts on the
seamless-reload test"), let's raise these short timeouts to 1 second.
A few other ones remain set to 150-200ms and do not seem to cause any
issue. Some are actually expected to trigger so let's not touch them
for now.
This reg-test tests the spaces in an ACL file, it tries to add new
entries with spaces from the CLI
This reg-test could backported in all stable branches if the fix for
spaces on the CLI was backported.
