This measured how long the Helper took to do a filecheck before asking
for ciphertext. The "Contacting Helper" report includes both
existence_check and the client-helper RTT.
For non-overlapping uploads, it was being returned correctly. But when
multiple upload requests overlapped, and the file was not already in the
grid, the filecheck would only run once, and its existence_check time
would be reported for all uploaders (even if they didn't have to wait
for that time). Cleaning that up proved too difficult: the only correct
place to report this time is from the initial remote_upload_chk() call,
but the return value of that is too constrained to accomodate it in the
needs-upload case.
So I'm removing it altogether. Eventually I plan to add a proper
events/times field and record more data, including this check, in a form
that can be drawn on a nice zoomable timeline view.
Old clients talking to a new Helper (which doesn't supply the value)
will tolerate the loss (they'll just display an empty field on the web
view).
Unlike set.union(), which returns a new set, DictOfSets.union() modified
the DictOfSets in-place. The name collision bit me when I changed some
code from using DictOfSets to a normal set, and expected that
set.union() would modify the set in-place. Since there was only one user
of DictOfSets.union, I figured it was safer to just get rid of it.
If a server did not respond to the pre-repair filecheck, but did respond
to the repair, that server was not correctly added to the
RepairResults.data["servers-responding"] list. (This resulted from a
buggy usage of DictOfSets.union() in filenode.py).
In addition, servers to which filecheck queries were sent, but did not
respond, were incorrectly added to the servers-responding list
anyawys. (This resulted from code in the checker.py not paying attention
to the 'responded' flag).
The first bug was neatly masked by the second: it's pretty rare to have
a server suddenly start responding in the one-second window between a
filecheck and a subsequent repair, and if the server was around for the
filecheck, you'd never notice the problem. I only spotted the smelly
code while I was changing it for IServer cleanup purposes.
I added coverage to test_repairer.py for this. Trying to get that test
to fail before fixing the first bug is what led me to discover the
second bug. I also had to update test_corrupt_file_verno, since it was
incorrectly asserting that 10 servers responded, when in fact one of
them throws an error (but the second bug was causing it to be reported
anyways).
Previously, test_runner sometimes fails because the _node_has_started()
poller fires after the portnum file has been opened, but before it has
actually been filled, allowing the test process to observe an empty file,
which flunks the test.
This adds a new fileutil.write_atomically() function (using the usual
write-to-.tmp-then-rename approach), and uses it for both node.url and
client.port . These files are written a bit before the node is really up and
running, but they're late enough for test_runner's purposes, which is to know
when it's safe to read client.port and use 'tahoe restart' (and therefore
SIGINT) to restart the node.
The current node/client code doesn't offer any better "are you really done
with startup" indicator.. the ideal approach would be to either watch the
logfile, or connect to its flogport, but both are a hassle. Changing the node
to write out a new "all done" file would be intrusive for regular
operations.
t=info contains randomly-generated ophandles, and t=rename-form contains the
name of the child being renamed, so neither is eligible for a
short-circuiting ETag. Enhanced test_web to exercise this. Had to improve
FakeCHKFileNode slightly to let it participate. Refs #443.
When client does a conditional GET/HEAD with If-none-match:, if the condition
fails (ie, the client's ETag matches the file's) then we can short-circuit
the whole process and immediately return an empty body.
Like immutable files, the ETag is based on the storage index. However, since
a directory is a special interpretation of a file, it is distinguished from
the file by prepending "DIR:" onto the start of the ETag, and adding
-representation on the end (where -representation is the ?t= argument, json,
info, etc).
It also checks the return of setETag and avoids generating a representation
if the client already has it.
It turns out that TarFile.addfile() doesn't provide a reasonable default
timestamp, resulting in files dated to 1970 (they're probably wearing
bell-bottoms and listening to disco too). Then, when the bdist_egg command
tries to create a *zip*file with those files, it explodes because zipfiles
cannot handle timestamps before 1980 (it prefers boomboxes and jackets with
straps on the shoulders, thank you very much).
This puts a modern time.time() on the members of the tarfile, allowing future
cryptocoderarchaeologists the opportunity to make fun of fashion trends from
the user's chosen era, rather than an artificially older one.
refs #1342
This is from the darcs patch for #1342, which failed to apply on my darcs
tree, so I'm landing it from git. I'm landing the rename-files part
separately from the modify-those-files part to avoid VC complications.
test_web.py: use shouldFail2(), safer than old shouldFail()
directory.py: forbid slashes in from_name=, return BAD_REQUEST instead of
GONE when trying to move into a non-directory
The move webapi function now takes a target_type argument which lets it
know whether the target is a subdirectory name or URI. This is an
improvement over the old system in which the move handler tried to guess
whether the target was a name or a URI. Also fixed a little docs
copypaste problem and tweaked some line wrapping.
This adds "move file" capability to the web UI's directory display. The
support and test framework is heavily based on the similar "rename file"
feature. Unit tests and documentation are included. Multiple in-progress
versions of this patch may be found in ticket 1579. This version
includes arbitrary URI target support and is compatible with the change
from tahoe_css to tahoe.css.
'serverid' is the pubkey (for V2 clients), falling back to the tubid (for V1
clients). This also required cleaning up the way the index is created for the
old V1 introducer.
This significantly cleans up the IntroducerServer web-status renderers.
Instead of poking around in the introducer's internals, now the web-status
renderers get clean AnnouncementDescriptor and SubscriberDescriptor
objects. They are still somewhat foolscap-centric, but will provide a clean
abstraction boundary for future improvements.
The specific #1721 bug was that old (V1) subscribers were handled by
wrapping their RemoteReference in a special WrapV1SubscriberInV2Interface
object, but the web-status display was trying to peek inside the object to
learn what host+port it was associated with, and the wrapper did not proxy
those extra attributes.
A test was added to test_introducer to make sure the introweb page renders
properly and at least contains the nicknames of both the V1 and V2 clients.
This was a premature feature addition to the mock filenode, and gets in the
way of the IServer refactoring I'm trying to do. Best to remove it now and
re-introduce it in a better form later when it's actually needed.
