This allows golang tests to be marked as root or !root using build tags.
The matching tests are then run as expected using our test runner.
This also disables test caching which is unfriendly to repeated test
running and is an absurd golang default to add.
Lastly this hooks up the testing verbose flag to tests that accept a
debug variable.
These tests aren't enabled on travis yet because of how it installs
golang.
This catches scenarios where we forgot to prefix the error with return.
One of our contributors occasionally made this typo, and since core go
vet didn't (surprisingly) catch it, we should add a test!
It also adds a simple check for import naming aliases. Expanding this
test to add other cases and check for differently named values might
make sense.
Arch Linux uses the mapping architecture name 'any'. This mapping was
missing from mgmt resulting in an error stating that arch 'any' did not
exist. Adding this mapping allows successful installation of packages
under Arch Linux.
This giant patch makes some much needed improvements to the code base.
* The engine has been rewritten and lives within engine/graph/
* All of the common interfaces and code now live in engine/
* All of the resources are in one package called engine/resources/
* The Res API can use different "traits" from engine/traits/
* The Res API has been simplified to hide many of the old internals
* The Watch & Process loops were previously inverted, but is now fixed
* The likelihood of package cycles has been reduced drastically
* And much, much more...
Unfortunately, some code had to be temporarily removed. The remote code
had to be taken out, as did the prometheus code. We hope to have these
back in new forms as soon as possible.
If we trigger a close, we must not run the LangClose before we've exited
from the loop, because that loop could race and run code which depends
on LangClose not having run first. So run the loop shutdown, then let
the wait group expire, before shutting down the lang.
This is currently unmaintained and the normal mcl language exists which
is preferable to this. As a result, I'm removing this for now to make an
upcoming refactor easier. We can add it back easily if someone has
interest.
The golang race detector complains about some unimportant races, and as
a result, this patch adds some mutexes to prevent these test failures.
We actually lock more than necessary, because a more accurate version
would be more time consuming to implement. Secondarily, it's likely that
in the future we replace this function graph algorithm with something
that is guaranteed to be glitch-free and supports back pressure.
I noticed a very intermittent test failure where interpret would end up
running, but *fail* because a value wasn't present. This should never
happen, because the function engine is designed to only call interpret
when there has been at least one value produced for every node in the
AST. So what is the bug that would produce:
interpret error: could not interpret: func value does not yet exist
About 20 minutes ago while I was getting to bed, it occurred to me where
to look! Out of bed and to the laptop, and after briefly reminding
myself of the code, I think I've found the issue.
What I think was happening, was that an AST node would produce a value,
and send a message on the aggregate channel. This channel is monitored,
and every time it receives a message, it checks to ensure that all the
values now exist before producing a message for interpret to run.
However, this AST node was not the final one to be produced, but before
the message was read by the aggregate channel, the last remaining AST
node ran and set it's "loaded" state to `true`, but *before* its value
was made available for the aggregate channel to read. That channel then
occasionally won the race and tried to access a value before it existed,
thus causing out intermittent bug.
At least I think that's what was going on. Hopefully this patch fixes
this, if not, then there's another bug hiding too! And of course, this
entire function engine could do with some proper analysis from someone
familiar with glitches, back pressure, and FRP parallelism.
One particular note was that I used my brain, not some fancy debugging
tool to find this. Maybe skilled debuggers can fork lift their tools
onto this type of problem, but I haven't those skills!
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This further extends the integration framework to add some simple
primitives for building clusters. More complex primitives and patterns
can be added in the future, but this should serve the general cases.
This adds an initial implementation of an integration test framework for
writing more complicated tests. In particular this also makes some small
additions to the mgmt core so that testing is easier.
I have an improved design for remote execution as a resource. Since I
need to get rid of some technical debt to clean up the resource API, and
this main loop, a good first step is to remote it's invocation. It will
be coming back as a resource as soon as possible!
This adds the ability to specify internal, resource specific edges, with
and without notifications. We use the special words: "Notify", "Before",
"Listen", and "Depend". They must have the first character capitalized.
They also support the "elvis" operator.
This allows you to omit a resource parameter programmatically, and
avoids the need of an `undef` or `nil` in our language, which would
contribute to programming errors, crashes, and overall reduced safety.
This adds a simple API for adding static, polymorphic, pure functions.
This lets you define a list of type signatures and the associated
implementations to overload a particular function name. The internals of
this API then do all of the hard work of matching the available
signatures to what statically type checks, and then calling the
appropriate implementation.
While this seems as if this would only work for function polymorphism
with a finite number of possible types, while this is mostly true, it
also allows you to add the `variant` "wildcard" type into your
signatures which will allow you to match a wider set of signatures.
A canonical use case for this is the len function which can determine
the length of both lists and maps with any contained type. (Either the
type of the list elements, or the types of the map keys and values.)
When using this functionality, you must be careful to ensure that there
is only a single mapping from possible type to signature so that the
"dynamic dispatch" of the function is unique.
It is worth noting that this API won't cover functions which support an
arbitrary number of input arguments. The well-known case of this,
printf, is implemented with the more general function API which is more
complicated.
This patch also adds some necessary library improvements for comparing
types to partial types, and to types containing variants.
Lastly, this fixes a bug in the `NewType` parser which parsed certain
complex function types wrong.
I forgot to handle the special case of a function using this API that
received no inputs. It was waiting for the first input to come in, and
as a result was never producing any output.
Remember that functions like this should *almost* be thought of as
constants of the system. You would expect their output to never change
during the lifetime of a particular program invocation.
