With our new tox/pip/virtualenv -based environment, we no longer need
the bin/tahoe script, so the tests that examine it needed to change.
In particular, we no longer need to be running tests from the root of a
source tree. Instead, what we care about is that the subprocess 'tahoe'
is importing code from the same place that the unit test .py files live.
Instead of constructing a sys.argv for 'twistd' that reads the node's
.tac file, we construct arguments that tell twistd to use a special
in-memory-only plugin that creates the desired node instance directly.
We still use the name of the .tac file to decide which kind of instance
to make (Client, IntroducerNode, KeyGenerator, StatsGatherer), but never
actually read the contents of the .tac file. Later improvements could
change this to look inside the tahoe.cfg for a nodetype= directive, etc.
This also makes it easy to have "tahoe start BASEDIR" pass the rest of
its arguments on to twistd, so e.g. "tahoe start BASEDIR --nodaemon
--profile=prof.out" does what you'd expect "twistd --nodaemon
--profile=prof.out" to do. "tahoe run BASEDIR" is thus simply aliased to
"tahoe start BASEDIR --nodaemon". This removes the need to special-case
--profile and --syslog.
I also removed some of the default logging behavior:
before:
'tahoe start' = 'twistd --logfile BASEDIR logs/twistd.log'
'tahoe start --profile' adds '--profile=profiling_results.prof --savestats'
'tahoe run' = 'twistd --nodaemon --logfile BASEDIR/logs/tahoesvc.log'
after:
'tahoe start' = 'twistd --logfile BASEDIR logs/twistd.log'
unless --logfile, --nodaemon, or --syslog are passed
'tahoe start --profile' invalid, use 'tahoe start --profile=OUTPUT'
'tahoe run' = 'twistd --nodaemon'
so log messages go to stdout
This finally enables 'tahoe run' to work with all node types, including
the key-generator and stats-gatherer.
It gets 'tahoe start' one step closer to accepting --reactor= . To
actually accomplish this will require this file, the enclosing
__init_.py files, and everything they import to avoid importing the
reactor. (if anything imports twisted.internet.reactor before
startstop_node.start() gets to run, then --reactor= comes too late).
That will take a lot of work, and requires lazy-loading of many core
libraries (foolscap.logging in particular), and removing a lot of code
from src/allmydata/__init__.py .
The new rules for "bin/tahoe ARG1.. SUBCOMMAND ARG2.." arg:
* --node-directory is only accepted in ARG1, not ARG2
* create-*/start/stop/restart accept --basedir in ARG2, or an explicit
basedir argument
* only one of --node-directory/--basedir/explicit-basedir is accepted
* --quiet/--version is only accepted in ARG1, not ARG2
Closes#166
Previously, Introducers always used a swissnum of "introducer", so
anyone who could learn the (public) tubid of the introducer would be
able to connect to and use it. This changes new Introducers to use the
same randomly-generated swissnum as clients and storage servers do, so
that you absolutely must learn the introducer.furl from someone who
knows it already before you can connect.
This change also moves the location of the file that stores
introducer.furl from BASEDIR/introducer.furl to
BASEDIR/private/introducer.furl, since that's where we keep the private
things. The first time an introducer is started with the new code, it
will move any existing BASEDIR/introducer.furl into the new place.
Note that this will not change the FURL of existing introducers: it will
only affect newly created ones. When you change an introducer's FURL,
you must also update all of the nodes (clients and storage servers)
which connect to it, so upgrading it to an unguessable one isn't
something we should do automatically.
This probably only works on Linux. It uses sudo to mount and unmount the tmpfs,
which may prompt for a password. refs #20

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.
Check for the existence of any of them and if any are found raise exception which will abort the startup of the node.
This is a backwards-incompatible change for anyone who is still using old-style configuration files.
fixes#1385
I'm skeptical that the test was proceeding correctly but ran out of time. It seems more likely that it had gotten hung. But if we raise the timeout to an even more extravagant number then we can be even more certain that the test was never going to finish.
I personally used "tahoe start/restart -m ../MY-TESTNET/node*" all the time,
to spin up or update a local testgrid while iterating over new code. However,
with the recent switch from "subprocess.Popen(/bin/twistd)" to "import and
call twistd.run()" in scripts/startstop_node.py (yay fewer processes!),
"start -m" broke, and fixing it requires os.fork, which is unavailable on
windows (boo windows!). And I was probably the only one using -m. So in the
interests of uniformity among platforms and simpler code (yay negative code
days!), we're just removing -m from everything. I will start using a little
shell script or something to simulate the removed functionality.
This patch also cleans up CLI-function calling a bit: get the basedir from
the config dict (instead of sometimes from a separate argument), and always
return a numeric exit code.
Specifically, test_runner.CreateNode.test_client failed, because the
os.fork-is-present test decided that --multiple should not be allowed on
windows, even though --multiple works just fine for 'tahoe create-client'.
The only restriction on --multiple is for 'tahoe start' and 'tahoe restart'.
This needs a different approach, probably by cleaning up BasedirMixin. We
should only be withholding --multiple on windows for "start" and
"restart". (we should continue withholding --multiple on all platforms for
"run").
This reverts (git) commit f3adb037ae:
"startstop_node.py: fix "tahoe start -m" by forking before non-final targets"
* don't advertise -m flag on tahoe start/restart/run unless os.fork is
available (i.e. windows)
* test_runner.py: add test to exercise "start/stop/restart -m"
