The old system with vendor/ and git submodules worked great,
unfortunately FUD around git submodules seemed to scare people away and
golang moved to a go.mod system that adds a new lock file format instead
of using the built-in git version. It's now almost impossible to use
modern golang without this, so we've switched.
So much for the golang compatibility promise-- turns out it doesn't
apply to the useful parts that I actually care about like this.
Thanks to frebib for his incredibly valuable contributions to this
patch. This snide commit message is mine alone.
This patch also mixes in some changes due to legacy golang as we've also
bumped the minimum version to 1.16 in the docs and tests.
Lastly, we had to disable some tests and fix up a few other misc things
to get this passing. We've definitely hot bugs in the go.mod system, and
our Makefile tries to workaround those.
It would be great to fix some rare races or debug what's wrong in CI,
but for now let's get rid of these fails so that we can get better data
for when we break something more serious. We'll need to revisit all of
this for sure.
Seems Github actions breaks or unsets this, leading to the errors:
tput: No value for $TERM and no -T specified
seq: missing operand
Try 'seq --help' for more information.
Hopefully this makes things a bit more robust.
The original string interpolation was based on hil which didn't allow
proper escaping, since they used a different escape pattern. Secondly,
the golang Unquote function didn't deal with the variable substitution,
which meant it had to be performed in a second step.
Most importantly, because we did this partial job in Unquote (the fact
that is strips the leading and trailing quotes tricked me into thinking
I was done with interpolation!) it was impossible to remedy the
remaining parts in a second pass with hil. Both operations needs to be
done in a single step. This is logical when you aren't tunnel visioned.
This patch replaces both of these so that string interpolation works
properly. This removes the ability to allow inline function calls in a
string, however this was an incidental feature, and it's not clear that
having it is a good idea. It also requires you wrap the var name with
curly braces. (They are not optional.)
This comes with a load of tests, but I think I got some of it wrong,
since I'm quite new at ragel. If you find something, please say so =D In
any case, this is much better than the original hil implementation, and
easy for a new contributor to patch to make the necessary fixes.
in_ci checks for environment variables set by a selection of CI systems
and returns true if the test appears to be running in CI. Additionally
it can test for specific CI systems, and returns true if the CI system
is listed.
Deduplicate existing environment checks for Travis and Jenkins.

Since we focus on safety, it would be nice to reduce the chance of any
runtime errors if we made a typo for a resource parameter. With this
patch, each resource can export constants into the global namespace so
that typos would cause a compile error.
Of course in the future if we had a more advanced type system, then we
could support precise types for each individual resource param, but in
an attempt to keep things simple, we'll leave that for another day. It
would add complexity too if we ever wanted to store a parameter
externally.
Lastly, we might consider adding "special case" parsing so that directly
specified fields would parse intelligently. For example, we could allow:
file "/tmp/hello" {
state => exists, # magic sugar!
}
This isn't supported for now, but if it works after all the other parser
changes have been made, it might be something to consider.
This ensures that docstring comments are wrapped to 80 chars. ffrank
seemed to be making this mistake far too often, and it's a silly thing
to look for manually. As it turns out, I've made it too, as have many
others. Now we have a test that checks for most cases. There are still a
few stray cases that aren't checked automatically, but this can be
improved upon if someone is motivated to do so.
Before anyone complains about the 80 character limit: this only checks
docstring comments, not source code length or inline source code
comments. There's no excuse for having docstrings that are badly
reflowed or over 80 chars, particularly if you have an automated test.
This might be slightly controversial, in that you must specify the state
if a file would need to be created to perform the action. We no longer
implicitly assume that just specifying content is enough. As it turns
out, I believe this is safer and more correct. The code to implement
this turns out to be much more logical and simplified, and does this
removes an ambiguous corner case from the reversed resource code.
Some discussion in: https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/issues/540
This patch also does a bit of related cleanup.
This adds the first reversible resource (file) and the necessary engine
API hooks to make it all work. This allows a special "reversed" resource
to be added to the subsequent graph in the stream when an earlier
version "disappears". This disappearance can happen if it was previously
in an if statement that then becomes false.
It might be wise to combine the use of this meta parameter with the use
of the `realize` meta parameter to ensure that your reversed resource
actually runs at least once, if there's a chance that it might be gone
for a while.
This patch also adds a new test harness for testing resources. It
doesn't test the "live" aspect of resources, as it doesn't run Watch,
but it was designed to ensure CheckApply works as intended, and it runs
very quickly with a simplified timeline of happenings.
This simple check should prevent some silly mistakes and make the logic
easier for other parts of the code that won't have to worry about this
pattern.
This adds a giant missing piece of the language: proper function values!
It is lovely to now understand why early programming language designers
didn't implement these, but a joy to now reap the benefits of them. In
adding these, many other changes had to be made to get them to "fit"
correctly. This improved the code and fixed a number of bugs.
Unfortunately this touched many areas of the code, and since I was
learning how to do all of this for the first time, I've squashed most of
my work into a single commit. Some more information:
* This adds over 70 new tests to verify the new functionality.
* Functions, global variables, and classes can all be implemented
natively in mcl and built into core packages.
* A new compiler step called "Ordering" was added. It is called by the
SetScope step, and determines statement ordering and shadowing
precedence formally. It helped remove at least one bug and provided the
additional analysis required to properly capture variables when
implementing function generators and closures.
* The type unification code was improved to handle the new cases.
* Light copying of Node's allowed our function graphs to be more optimal
and share common vertices and edges. For example, if two different
closures capture a variable $x, they'll both use the same copy when
running the function, since the compiler can prove if they're identical.
* Some areas still need improvements, but this is ready for mainstream
testing and use!
It was a bit awkward using `mgmt run lang --lang <input>` so instead, we
now drop the --lang, and read the positional argv for the input.
This also does the same for the --yaml frontend.
This is a giant cleanup of the etcd code. The earlier version was
written when I was less experienced with golang.
This is still not perfect, and does contain some races, but at least
it's a decent base to start from. The automatic elastic clustering
should be considered an experimental feature. If you need a more
battle-tested cluster, then you should manage etcd manually and point
mgmt at your existing cluster.
Simplify working with errors across our code base. Instead of constantly
importing the necessary error helpers, assemble them all into one
package and import and use that as needed.
