Previously, there were two different ways to detect feature support.
Either through an environment variable set by configure in conf.sh, or
using the feature-test utility.
It is more simple and consistent to have only one way of detecting the
feature support. Using the feature-test utility seems superior the the
environment variables set by configure.
The system test should never attempt to start or stop any other server
than those that belong to that system test. Therefore, it is not
necessary to specify the system test name in function calls.
Additionally, this makes it possible to run the test inside a
differently named directory, as its name is automatically detected with
the $SYSTESTDIR variable. This enables running the system tests inside a
temporary directory.
Direct use of stop.pl was replaced with a more systematic approach to
use stop_servers helper function.
This commit converts the license handling to adhere to the REUSE
specification. It specifically:
1. Adds used licnses to LICENSES/ directory
2. Add "isc" template for adding the copyright boilerplate
3. Changes all source files to include copyright and SPDX license
header, this includes all the C sources, documentation, zone files,
configuration files. There are notes in the doc/dev/copyrights file
on how to add correct headers to the new files.
4. Handle the rest that can't be modified via .reuse/dep5 file. The
binary (or otherwise unmodifiable) files could have license places
next to them in <foo>.license file, but this would lead to cluttered
repository and most of the files handled in the .reuse/dep5 file are
system test files.
Replace most "master/slave" terminology in tests with the preferred
"primary/secondary", with the following exceptions:
- When testing the old syntax
- When master is used in master file and master file format terms
- When master is used in hostmaster or postmaster terms
- When master used in legacy domain names (for example in dig.batch)
- When there is no replacement (for example default-masters)
The timeout originally picked for "rndc status" invocations (2 seconds)
in the test attempting to reproduce a deadlock caused by running
multiple "rndc addzone", "rndc modzone", and "rndc delzone" commands
concurrently causes intermittent failures of the "addzone" system test
in GitLab CI. Increase the timeout to 10 seconds to make such failures
less probable. Adjust code comments accordingly.
PyLint 2.8.2 reports the following suggestions for two Python scripts
used in the system test suite:
************* Module tests_rndc_deadlock
bin/tests/system/addzone/tests_rndc_deadlock.py:71:4: R1732: Consider using 'with' for resource-allocating operations (consider-using-with)
************* Module tests-shutdown
bin/tests/system/shutdown/tests-shutdown.py:68:4: R1732: Consider using 'with' for resource-allocating operations (consider-using-with)
bin/tests/system/shutdown/tests-shutdown.py:154:8: R1732: Consider using 'with' for resource-allocating operations (consider-using-with)
Implement the above suggestions by using
concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor() and subprocess.Popen() as
context managers.
The test spawns 4 parallel workers that keep adding, modifying and
deleting zones, the main thread repeatedly checks wheter rndc
status responds within a reasonable period.
While environment and timing issues may affect the test, in most
test cases the deadlock that was taking place before the fix used to
trigger in less than 7 seconds in a machine with at least 2 cores.
The $SYSTEMTESTTOP shell variable if often set to .. in various shell
scripts inside bin/tests/system/, but most of the time it is only
used one line later, while sourcing conf.sh. This hardly improves
code readability.
$SYSTEMTESTTOP is also used for the purpose of referencing
scripts/files living in bin/tests/system/, but given that the
variable is always set to a short, relative path, we can drop it and
replace all of its occurrences with the relative path without adversely
affecting code readability.
this changes most visble uses of master/slave terminology in tests.sh
and most uses of 'type master' or 'type slave' in named.conf files.
files in the checkconf test were not updated in order to confirm that
the old syntax still works. rpzrecurse was also left mostly unchanged
to avoid interference with DNSRPS.
as "type primary" is preferred over "type master" now, it makes
sense to make "primaries" available as a synonym too.
added a correctness check to ensure "primaries" and "masters"
cannot both be used in the same zone.
Test zones with various escape sequences and filesystem seperator
characters.
* escaped double quote (\")
* escaped escape (\\)
* escaped decimal byte value (\032)
* slash seperator (/)
The rewrite of BIND 9 build system is a large work and cannot be reasonable
split into separate merge requests. Addition of the automake has a positive
effect on the readability and maintainability of the build system as it is more
declarative, it allows conditional and we are able to drop all of the custom
make code that BIND 9 developed over the years to overcome the deficiencies of
autoconf + custom Makefile.in files.
This squashed commit contains following changes:
- conversion (or rather fresh rewrite) of all Makefile.in files to Makefile.am
by using automake
- the libtool is now properly integrated with automake (the way we used it
was rather hackish as the only official way how to use libtool is via
automake
- the dynamic module loading was rewritten from a custom patchwork to libtool's
libltdl (which includes the patchwork to support module loading on different
systems internally)
- conversion of the unit test executor from kyua to automake parallel driver
- conversion of the system test executor from custom make/shell to automake
parallel driver
- The GSSAPI has been refactored, the custom SPNEGO on the basis that
all major KRB5/GSSAPI (mit-krb5, heimdal and Windows) implementations
support SPNEGO mechanism.
- The various defunct tests from bin/tests have been removed:
bin/tests/optional and bin/tests/pkcs11
- The text files generated from the MD files have been removed, the
MarkDown has been designed to be readable by both humans and computers
- The xsl header is now generated by a simple sed command instead of
perl helper
- The <irs/platform.h> header has been removed
- cleanups of configure.ac script to make it more simpler, addition of multiple
macros (there's still work to be done though)
- the tarball can now be prepared with `make dist`
- the system tests are partially able to run in oot build
Here's a list of unfinished work that needs to be completed in subsequent merge
requests:
- `make distcheck` doesn't yet work (because of system tests oot run is not yet
finished)
- documentation is not yet built, there's a different merge request with docbook
to sphinx-build rst conversion that needs to be rebased and adapted on top of
the automake
- msvc build is non functional yet and we need to decide whether we will just
cross-compile bind9 using mingw-w64 or fix the msvc build
- contributed dlz modules are not included neither in the autoconf nor automake
The first step in all existing setup.sh scripts is to call clean.sh. To
reduce code duplication and ensure all system tests added in the future
behave consistently with existing ones, invoke clean.sh from run.sh
before calling setup.sh.
With the netmgr in use, named may start answering queries before zones
are loaded. This can cause transient failures in system tests after
servers are restarted or reconfigured. This commit adds retry loops
and sleep statements where needed to address this problem.
Also incidentally silenced a clang warning.
Temporary files created by a given system test should be removed by its
clean.sh script, not its setup.sh script. Remove redundant "rm"
invocations from setup.sh scripts. Move required "rm" invocations from
setup.sh scripts to their corresponding clean.sh scripts.
- all tests with "recursion yes" now also specify "dnssec-validation yes",
and all tests with "recursion no" also specify "dnssec-validation no".
this must be maintained in all new tests, or else validation will fail
when we use local root zones for testing.
- clean.sh has been modified where necessary to remove managed-keys.bind
and viewname.mkeys files.
- removed a few remaing places where output wasn't being passed
through echo_i or cat_i
- added a "digcomp" function to conf.sh.in to send digcomp.pl output
through cat_i and return the correct exit value
- set SYSTESTDIR when calling echo_i from nsX directories, so that
the test name will always be printed correctly
- fixed a test name typo in conf.sh.in
- add CHANGES note
- update copyrights and license headers
- add -j to the make commands in .gitlab-ci.yml to take
advantage of parallelization in the gitlab CI process
4610. [func] The "new-zones-directory" option specifies the
location of NZF or NZD files for storing
configuration of zones added by "rndc addzone".
