* jk/ci-only-on-selected-branches:
ci/config: correct instruction for CI preferences
|
|
From e76eec3554 (ci: allow per-branch config for GitHub Actions,
2020-05-07), we started to allow contributors decide which branch
they want to build with GitHub Actions
by checking for a file named "ci/config/allow-ref".
In order to assist those contributors,
we provided a sample in "ci/config/allow-refs.sample",
and instructed them to drop the ".sample",
then commit that file to their repository.
We've misspelt the filename in that change.
Let's fix the spelling.
While we're at it, also instruct our contributors introduce that new
file to Git before commit, in case of they've never told Git before.

Depending on the workflows of individual developers, it can either be
convenient or annoying that our GitHub Actions CI jobs are run on every
branch. As an example of annoying: if you carry many half-finished
work-in-progress branches and rebase them frequently against master,
you'd get tons of failure reports that aren't interesting (not to
mention the wasted CPU).
This commit adds a new job which checks a special branch within the
repository for CI config, and then runs a shell script it finds there to
decide whether to skip the rest of the tests. The default will continue
to run tests for all refs if that branch or script is missing.
There have been a few alternatives discussed:
One option is to carry information in the commit itself about whether it
should be tested, either in the tree itself (changing the workflow YAML
file) or in the commit message (a "[skip ci]" flag or similar). But
these are frustrating and error-prone to use:
- you have to manually apply them to each branch that you want to mark
- it's easy for them to leak into other workflows, like emailing patches
We could likewise try to get some information from the branch name. But
that leads to debates about whether the default should be "off" or "on",
and overriding still ends up somewhat awkward. If we default to "on",
you have to remember to name your branches appropriately to skip CI. And
if "off", you end up having to contort your branch names or duplicate
your pushes with an extra refspec.
By comparison, this commit's solution lets you specify your config once
and forget about it, and all of the data is off in its own ref, where it
can be changed by individual forks without touching the main tree.
There were a few design decisions that came out of on-list discussion.
I'll summarize here:
- we could use GitHub's API to retrieve the config ref, rather than a
real checkout (and then just operate on it via some javascript). We
still have to spin up a VM and contact GitHub over the network from
it either way, so it ends up not being much faster. I opted to go
with shell to keep things similar to our other tools (and really
could implement allow-refs in any language you want). This also makes
it easy to test your script locally, and to modify it within the
context of a normal git.git tree.
- we could keep the well-known refname out of refs/heads/ to avoid
cluttering the branch namespace. But that makes it awkward to
manipulate. By contrast, you can just "git checkout ci-config" to
make changes.
- we could assume the ci-config ref has nothing in it except config
(i.e., a branch unrelated to the rest of git.git). But dealing with
orphan branches is awkward. Instead, we'll do our best to efficiently
check out only the ci/config directory using a shallow partial clone,
which allows your ci-config branch to be just a normal branch, with
your config changes on top.
- we could provide a simpler interface, like a static list of ref
patterns. But we can't get out of spinning up a whole VM anyway, so
we might as well use that feature to make the config as flexible as
possible. If we add more config, we should be able to reuse our
partial-clone to set more outputs.

Arguably, CI builds' most important task is to not only identify
regressions, but to make it as easy as possible to investigate what went
wrong.
In that light, we will want to provide users with a way to inspect the
tests' output as well as the corresponding directories.
This commit adds build steps that are only executed when tests failed,
uploading the relevant information as build artifacts. These artifacts
can then be downloaded by interested parties to diagnose the failures
more efficiently.

Once upon a time we ran 'make --jobs=2 ...' to build Git, its
documentation, or to apply Coccinelle semantic patches. Then commit
eaa62291ff (ci: inherit --jobs via MAKEFLAGS in run-build-and-tests,
2019-01-27) came along, and started using the MAKEFLAGS environment
variable to centralize setting the number of parallel jobs in
'ci/libs.sh'. Alas, it forgot to update 'ci/run-linux32-docker.sh' to
make MAKEFLAGS available inside the Docker container running the 32
bit Linux job, and, consequently, since then that job builds Git
sequentially, and it ignores any Makefile knobs that we might set in
MAKEFLAGS (though we don't set any for the 32 bit Linux job at the
moment).
So update the 'docker run' invocation in 'ci/run-linux32-docker.sh' to
make MAKEFLAGS available inside the Docker container as well. Set
CC=gcc for the 32 bit Linux job, because that's the compiler installed
in the 32 bit Linux Docker image that we use (Travis CI nowadays sets
CC=clang by default, but clang is not installed in this image).

|
|
Python2 reached end of life, and we have been preparing our Python
scripts to work with Python3. 'git p4', the main in-tree user of
Python, has just received a number of compatibility updates. Our
other notable Python script 'contrib/svn-fe/svnrdump_sim.py' is only
used in 't9020-remote-svn.sh', and is apparently already compatible
with both Python2 and 3.
Our CI jobs currently only use Python2. We want to make sure that
these Python scripts do indeed work with Python3, and we also want to
make sure that these scripts keep working with Python2 as well, for
the sake of some older LTS/Enterprise setups.
Therefore, pick two jobs and use Python3 there, while leaving other
jobs to still stick to Python2 for now.

A recent update in the Linux VM images used by Azure Pipelines surfaced

This problem was already reported to the `rubygems` project via

Our 'osx-gcc' build job on Travis CI relied on GCC 8 being installed
(but not linked) in the image we use [1]. Alas, since the last update
of this image a few days ago this is not the case anymore, and now it
contains GCC 9 (installed and linked) instead of GCC 8. The results
are failed 'osx-gcc' jobs, because they can't find the 'gcc-8' command
[2].
Let's move on to use GCC 9, with hopefully better error reporting and
improved -Wfoo flags and what not. On Travis CI this has the benefit
that we can spare a few seconds while installing dependencies, because
it already comes pre-installed, at least for now. The Azure Pipelines
OSX image doesn't include GCC, so we have to install it ourselves
anyway, and then we might as well install the newer version.
In a vain attempt I tried to future-proof this a bit:
- Install 'gcc@9' specifically, so we'll still get what we want even
after GCC 10 comes out, and the "plain" 'gcc' package starts to
refer to 'gcc@10'.
- Run both 'brew install gcc@9' and 'brew link gcc@9'. If 'gcc@9'
is already installed and linked, then both commands are noop and
exit with success. But as we saw in the past, sometimes the image
contains the expected GCC package installed but not linked, so
maybe it will happen again in the future as well. In that case
'brew install' is still a noop, and instructs the user to run
'brew link' instead, so that's what we'll do. And if 'gcc@9' is
not installed, then 'brew install' will install it, and the
subsequent 'brew link' becomes a noop.
An additional benefit of this patch is that from now on we won't
unnecessarily install GCC and its dependencies in the 'osx-clang' jobs
on Azure Pipelines.

The GIT_TEST_CLONE_2GB environment variable is only ever checked with
'test -z' in 't5608-clone-2gb.sh', so any non-empty value is
interpreted as "yes, run these expensive tests", even
'GIT_TEST_CLONE_2GB=NoThanks'.
Similar GIT_TEST_* environment variables have already been turned into
bools in 3b072c577b (tests: replace test_tristate with "git
env--helper", 2019-06-21), so let's turn GIT_TEST_CLONE_2GB into a

The OSX CI build procedure updates the homebrew-cask repository
before attempting to install perforce again, after seeing an
installation failure. This involves a "git pull" that by default
computes and outputs diffstat, which would only grow as the time
goes by and the repository cast in stone in the CI build image
becomes more and more stale relative to the upstream repository in
the outside world.
Suppress the diffstat to both save cycles to generate it, and strain
on the eyeballs to skip it.

CI build fix.
* sg/ci-osx-gcc8-fix:
ci: fix GCC install in the Travis CI GCC OSX job
|
|
A few days ago Travis CI updated their existing OSX images, including
the Homebrew database in the xcode10.1 OSX image that we use. Since
then installing dependencies in the 'osx-gcc' job fails when it tries
to link gcc@8:
+ brew link gcc@8
Error: No such keg: /usr/local/Cellar/gcc@8
GCC8 is still installed but not linked to '/usr/local' in the updated
image, as it was before this update, but now we have to link it by
running 'brew link gcc'. So let's do that then, and fall back to
linking gcc@8 if it doesn't, just to be sure.
Our builds on Azure Pipelines are unaffected by this issue. The OSX
image over there doesn't contain the gcc@8 package, so we have to
'brew install' it, which already takes care of linking it to
'/usr/local'. After that the 'brew link gcc' command added by this
patch fails, but the ||-chained fallback 'brew link gcc@8' command
succeeds with an "already linked" warning.

The Azure Pipelines builds are failing for macOS due to a change in the
location of the perforce cask. The command outputs the following error:
+ brew install caskroom/cask/perforce
Error: caskroom/cask was moved. Tap homebrew/cask-cask instead.
So let's try to call `brew cask install perforce` first (which is what
that error message suggests, in a most round-about way).
Prior to 672f51cb we used to install the 'perforce' package with 'brew
install perforce' (note: no 'cask' in there). The justification for
672f51cb was that the command 'brew install perforce' simply stopped
working, after Homebrew folks decided that it's better to move the
'perforce' package to a "cask". Their justification for this move was
that 'brew install perforce' "can fail due to a checksum mismatch ...",
and casks can be installed without checksum verification. And indeed,
both 'brew cask install perforce' and 'brew install
caskroom/cask/perforce' printed something along the lines of:
==> No checksum defined for Cask perforce, skipping verification
It is unclear why 672f51cb used 'brew install caskroom/cask/perforce'
instead of 'brew cask install perforce'. It appears (by running both
commands on old Travis CI macOS images) that both commands worked all
the same already back then.
In any case, as the error message at the top of this commit message
shows, 'brew install caskroom/cask/perforce' has stopped working
recently, but 'brew cask install perforce' still does, so let's use
that.
CI servers are typically fresh virtual machines, but not always. To
accommodate for that, let's try harder if `brew cask install perforce`
fails, by specifically pulling the latest `master` of the
`homebrew-cask` repository.
This will still fail, of course, when `homebrew-cask` falls behind
Perforce's release schedule. But once it is updated, we can now simply
re-run the failed jobs and they will pick up that update.
As for updating `homebrew-cask`: the beginnings of automating this in
https://dev.azure.com/gitgitgadget/git/_build?definitionId=11&_a=summary
will be finished once the next Perforce upgrade comes around.

Travis CI offers shell access to its virtual machine environment
running the build jobs, called "debug mode" [1]. After restarting a
build job in debug mode and logging in, the first thing I usually do
is to install dependencies, i.e. run './ci/install-dependencies.sh'.
This works just fine when I restarted a failed build job in debug
mode. However, after restarting a successful build job in debug mode
our CI scripts get all clever, and exit without doing anything useful,
claiming that "This commit's tree has already been built and tested
successfully" [2]. Our CI scripts are right, and we do want to skip
building and testing already known good trees in "regular" CI builds.
In debug mode, however, this is a nuisiance, because one has to delete
the cache (or at least the 'good-trees' file in the cache) to proceed.
Let's update our CI scripts, in particular the common 'ci/lib.sh', to
not skip previously successfully built and tested trees in debug mode,
so all those scripts will do what there were supposed to do even when
a successful build job was restarted in debug mode.

Our documentation toolchain has traditionally been built around DocBook
4.5. This version of DocBook is the last DTD-based version of DocBook.
In 2009, DocBook 5 was introduced using namespaces and its syntax is
expressed in RELAX NG, which is more expressive and allows a wider
variety of syntax forms.
Asciidoctor, one of the alternatives for building our documentation,
moved support for DocBook 4.5 out of core in its recent 2.0 release and
now only supports DocBook 5 in the main release. The DocBoook 4.5
converter is still available as a separate component, but this is not
available in most distro packages. This would not be a problem but for
the fact that we use xmlto, which is still stuck in the DocBook 4.5 era.
xmlto performs DTD validation as part of the build process. This is not
problematic for DocBook 4.5, which has a valid DTD, but it clearly
cannot work for DocBook 5, since no DTD can adequately express its full
syntax. In addition, even if xmlto did support RELAX NG validation,
that wouldn't be sufficient because it uses the libxml2-based xmllint to
do so, which has known problems with validating interleaves in RELAX NG.
Fortunately, there's an easy way forward: ask Asciidoctor to use its
DocBook 5 backend and tell xmlto to skip validation. Asciidoctor has
supported DocBook 5 since v0.1.4 in 2013 and xmlto has supported
skipping validation for probably longer than that.
We also need to teach xmlto how to use the namespaced DocBook XSLT
stylesheets instead of the non-namespaced ones it usually uses.
Normally these stylesheets are interchangeable, but the non-namespaced
ones have a bug that causes them not to strip whitespace automatically
from certain elements when namespaces are in use. This results in
additional whitespace at the beginning of list elements, which is
jarring and unsightly.
We can do this by passing a custom stylesheet with the -x option that
simply imports the namespaced stylesheets via a URL. Any system with
support for XML catalogs will automatically look this URL up and
reference a local copy instead without us having to know where this
local copy is located. We know that anyone using xmlto will already
have catalogs set up properly since the DocBook 4.5 DTD used during
validation is also looked up via catalogs. All major Linux
distributions distribute the necessary stylesheets and have built-in
catalog support, and Homebrew does as well, albeit with a requirement to
set an environment variable to enable catalog support.
On the off chance that someone lacks support for catalogs, it is
possible for xmlto (via xmllint) to download the stylesheets from the
URLs in question, although this will likely perform poorly enough to
attract attention. People still have the option of using the prebuilt
documentation that we ship, so happily this should not be an impediment.
Finally, we need to filter out some messages from other stylesheets that
occur when invoking dblatex in the CI job. This tool strips namespaces
much like the unnamespaced DocBook stylesheets and prints similar
messages. If we permit these messages to be printed to standard error,
our documentation CI job will fail because we check standard error for
unexpected output. Due to dblatex's reliance on Python 2, we may need
to revisit its use in the future, in which case this problem may go
away, but this can be delayed until a future patch.
The final message we filter is due to libxslt on modern Debian and
Ubuntu. The patch which they use to implement reproducible ID
generation also prints messages about the ID generation. While this
doesn't affect our current CI images since they use Ubuntu 16.04 which
lacks this patch, if we upgrade to Ubuntu 18.04 or a modern Debian,
these messages will appear and, like the above messages, cause a CI
failure.

Once upon a time GIT_TEST_HTTPD was a tristate variable and we
exported 'GIT_TEST_HTTPD=YesPlease' in our CI scripts to make sure
that we run the httpd tests in the Linux Clang and GCC build jobs, or
error out if they can't be run for any reason [1].
Then 3b072c577b (tests: replace test_tristate with "git env--helper",
2019-06-21) came along, turned GIT_TEST_HTTPD into a bool, but forgot
to update our CI scripts accordingly. So, since GIT_TEST_HTTPD is set
explicitly, but its value is not one of the standardized true values,
our CI jobs have been simply skipping the httpd tests in the last
couple of weeks.
Set 'GIT_TEST_HTTPD=true' to restore running httpd tests in our CI
jobs.

Add a job to build with a tad older GCC to make sure we are still
buildable.
* sg/travis-gcc-4.8:
travis-ci: build with GCC 4.8 as well

Many GIT_TEST_* environment variables control various aspects of
how our tests are run, but a few followed "non-empty is true, empty
or unset is false" while others followed the usual "there are a few
ways to spell true, like yes, on, etc., and also ways to spell
false, like no, off, etc." convention.
* ab/test-env:
env--helper: mark a file-local symbol as static
tests: make GIT_TEST_FAIL_PREREQS a boolean
tests: replace test_tristate with "git env--helper"
tests README: re-flow a previously changed paragraph
tests: make GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON a boolean
t6040 test: stop using global "script" variable
config.c: refactor die_bad_number() to not call gettext() early
env--helper: new undocumented builtin wrapping git_env_*()
config tests: simplify include cycle test

C99 'for' loop initial declaration, i.e. 'for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)',
is not allowed in Git's codebase yet, to maintain compatibility with
some older compilers.
Our Travis CI builds used to catch 'for' loop initial declarations,
because the GETTEXT_POISON job has always built Git with the default
'cc', which in Travis CI's previous default Linux image (based on
Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty) is GCC 4.8, and that GCC version errors out on
this construct (not only with DEVELOPER=1, but with our default CFLAGS
as well). Alas, that's not the case anymore, becase after 14.04's EOL
Travis CI's current default Linux image is based on Ubuntu 16.04
Xenial [1] and its default 'cc' is now GCC 5.4, which, just like all
later GCC and Clang versions, simply accepts this construct, even if
we don't explicitly specify '-std=c99'.
Ideally we would adjust our CFLAGS used with DEVELOPER=1 to catch this
undesired construct already when contributors build Git on their own
machines. Unfortunately, however, there seems to be no compiler
option that would catch only this particular construct without choking
on many other things, e.g. while a later compiler with '-std=c90'
and/or '-ansi' does catch this construct, it can't build Git because
of several screenfulls of other errors.
Add the 'linux-gcc-4.8' job to Travis CI, in order to build Git with
GCC 4.8, and thus to timely catch any 'for' loop initial declarations.
To catch those it's sufficient to only build Git with GCC 4.8, so
don't run the test suite in this job, because 'make test' takes rather
long [2], and it's already run five times in other jobs, so we
wouldn't get our time's worth.
[1] The Azure Pipelines builds have been using Ubuntu 16.04 images
from the start, so I belive they never caught 'for' loop initial
declarations.
[2] On Travis CI 'make test' alone would take about 9 minutes in this
new job (without running httpd, Subversion, and P4 tests). For
comparison, starting the job and building Git with GCC 4.8 takes
only about 2 minutes.

A comment in 'ci/lib.sh' claims that the "OS X build installs the
latest available versions" of P4 and Git-LFS, but since f2f47150
("ci: don't update Homebrew", 2019-07-03) that's no longer the case,
as it will install the versions which were recorded in the image's
Homebrew database when the image was created.
Update this comment accordingly.

Lately Homebrew learned to automagically clean up information about
outdated packages during other 'brew' commands, which might be useful
for the avarage user, but is a waste of time in CI build jobs, because
the next build jobs will start from the exact same image containing
the same outdated packages anyway.
Export HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_CLEANUP=1 to disable this auto cleanup feature,
shaving off about 20-30s from the time needed to install dependencies
in our macOS build jobs on Travis CI.
