We used to rely on a call to "sed" to modify the DEBUG option in the
makefile when running under Coverity because it splits words around
spaces and does not allow to pass multi-word build options. As reported
by Tim in issue #1592, this broke with commit 8de7f2822 ("BUILD: makefile:
enable both DEBUG_STRICT and DEBUG_MEMORY_POOLS by default") when the
default DEBUG options changed.
Let's change this to pass all DEBUG options one at a time instead and
get rid of this sed.
This enables DEBUG_MEMORY_POOLS and DEBUG_POOL_INTEGRITY so that by
default the tests run under stricter checks, which are likely to
catch more bugs. Note that these ones are permanently used in prod
on haproxy.org.
step condition "if: ${{ !failure() }}" was added in 2ef4c7c843
during my experiments. As Tim Düsterhus mentioned, that condition is default and may be omitted.
let us switch to codespell github actions instead of invocation from cmdline.
also, "ifset,thrid,strack,ba,chck,hel,unx,mor" added to whitelist, those are
variable names and special terms widely used in HAProxy
this is mostly cleanup, issue is minor. If build failed, VTest execution
tried to be performed as well as VTest result show. This change ignores
those steps if build failed.
Sometimes figuring what differs between platforms is useful to fix
build issues, to decide what ifdef to add for example. Let's always
call $CC -dM -E- before starting make.
Using 'sudo' required quite a few workarounds in various places. Setting an
explicit 'ulimit -n' removes the requirement for 'sudo', resulting in a cleaner
workflow configuration.
The issue with VTest not building properly in gcc is fixed since commit
vtest/VTest@0730540c43. Revert the patch to keep
the CI configuration simple.
This reverts commit e61f53eb44.
Both the source file and the dummy library are now at the same place.
Maybe the build howto could be moved there as well to make things even
cleaner.
The Makefile, MAINTAINERS, doc, and vtest matrix were updated.

The Makefile, MAINTAINERS, doc, github build matrix, coverity checks

Now it's much cleaner, both 51d.c and the dummy library live together and
are easier to spot and maintain. The build howto probably ought to be moved
there as well. Makefile, docs and MAINTAINERS were updated, as well as
the github CI's build matrix, travis CI's, and coverity checks.
The few hpack development tools are now integrated into the main
makefile, which allows to remove the original one which was causing
lots of build warnings. A README was added to explain how to build
instead.
The following directories were moved from contrib/ to dev/ to make their
use case a bit clearer. In short, only developers are expected to ever
go there. The makefile was updated to build and clean from these ones.
base64/ flags/ hpack/ plug_qdisc/ poll/ tcploop/ trace/
Now poll is its own project and doesn't share the "flags" Makefile
any more. One of the issues was that it was making references to the
haproxy include path which is not needed here.
In an attempt to fix the use of DEBUG_STRICT commit
7f0f4786d1 unfortunately broke the Coverity
builds completely.
It turns out that Coverity does not properly handle quoting within
`COVERITY_SCAN_BUILD_COMMAND`, instead breaking up single arguments at
whitespace, thus passing `-DDEBUG_USE_ABORT=1` to `make` as-is.
Fix this issue by hijacking the Makefile within the Coverity workflow. We
simply replace the default value of the `DEBUG` option with whatever values we
need. The build command now only includes the TARGET and USE_* flags, each of
which works without any spaces.
As of January, 11th the macOS builds fail due to regression introduced in
VTest. This patch pins VTest to the newest good commit.
This patch should be reverted once VTest's 'master' is stable again.
see vtest/VTest#26
This adds "referer,ot,uint,iif,fo,keep-alives" to the ignore list:
- "referer" is the well-known HTTP header field name (with its
spelling error)
- "ot" appears a lot in the opentracing contrib.
- "iff" often stands for "if and only if"
- "fo" appears as a test string in tests/ist.c (could possibly be
changed)
- "keep-alives" appears as a noon in "...enable TCP keep-alives".
This patch cleans up the Windows CI to look more similar to the refactored
Linux CI on GitHub Actions.
It switches the environment set-up from some manual cygwin setup via choco to
the msys2/setup-msys2@v2 action which just works and allows later steps to look
like any others without need to manually specify the shell.
This new setup is much faster than before where a single Windows build required
more than 10 minutes with more than 5 minutes just spent setting up the
environment and more than 6 minutes compiling HAProxy.
With this patch the setting of of the environment is done in less than a minute
and HAProxy is compiled in less than 2 minutes.
The only drawback is that Lua does not appear to be readily available. I expect
this to be acceptable and that the benefits far outweight this small drawback.
This is a preparation to later run some matrix entries on schedule only.
Within the matrix.py script it can now be detected whether the workflow is
running on schedule by using:
if build_type == "schedule":
matrix.append(...)
This PR aims to make the workflow more consistent, by reusing the same wording
for the step names and the same commands to make it look like the vtest
workflow as much as possible.
It was renamed to compliance.yml to match the human readable name better. This
also allows to extend the workflow with other compliance tools later on, nicely
grouping those jobs together in a single file.
No functional changes have been made.
Travis is becoming overall increasingly unreliable lately. We've already
seen that the timing sensitive tests regularly fail and thus they were
disabled.
Additionally they recently announced a new pricing model that caps the number
of minutes for Open Source projects:

GitHub Actions VMs are working well, possibly allowing to use custom runners
for special tasks in the future.
In addition to this better performance its workflow configuration language
is more expressive compared to the Travis CI one. Specifically the build
matrix does not need to be specified in YAML. Instead it can be generated
ad-hoc using a script. This allows us to cleanly define the various build
configurations without having an unreadable 80 line mess where the flags
are inconsistently activated. As an example in the current Travis CI
configuration the prometheus exporter is tested together with LibreSSL 2.9.2
for whatever reason.
In addition to all the previous points the UI of Travis is not that nice.
On GitHub you are just seeing that "Travis failed" without any details which
exact job failed. This requires you to visit the slow Travis page and look
up the details there. GitHub Actions creates a single entry for each
configuration that is tested, allowing you to see the details without needing
to leave GitHub.
This new GitHub Actions workflow aims to reproduce the configurations tested
in Travis. It comes close, but is not completely there, yet. Consider this
patch a proof of concept that will evolve in the future, ideally with Ilya's
expertise.
The current configurations are as follows. Each one is tested with both gcc
and clang.
- All features disabled (no USE flags)
- All features enabled (all USE flags)
- Standalone test of each of the supported compression libraries:
- USE_ZLIB=1
- USE_SLZ=1
- Standalone test of various SSL libraries:
- stock (the SSL installed by default on the VM)
- OpenSSL 1.0.2u
- LibreSSL 2.9.2, 3.0.2, 3.1.1
- All features enabled with ASAN (clang only)
Future additions of new tests should take care to not test unrelated stuff.
Instead a distinct configuration should be added.
Additionally there is a Mac OS test with clang and all features disabled.
Known issues:
- Apparently the git commit is not properly detected during build. The HEAD
currently shows as 2.4-dev0.
