Aurelien DARRAGON 4cc2714ae2 EXAMPLES: fix race condition in lua mailers script Christopher reported a rare race condition involving 'healthcheckmail.vtc' The regtest would randomly FAIL with this kind of error: S1 === expect ~ "[^:\\[ ]\\[${h1_pid}\\]: Health check for server b... S1 EXPECT MATCH ~ "[^:\[ ]\[581669\]: Health check for server be1/srv1 failed.+check duration: [[:digit:]]+ms.+status: 0/1 DOWN." S1 === recv info ** S1 syslog\|<25>May 11 15:38:46 haproxy[581669]: Server be1/srv1 is DOWN. 0 active and 0 backup servers left. 0 sessions active, 0 requeued, 0 remaining in queue. ** S1 syslog\|<24>May 11 15:38:46 haproxy[581669]: backend be1 has no server available! It turns out that this it due to the recent commit `7963fb5` ("REGTESTS: use lua mailer script for mailers tests") in which we tell the regtest to use the new lua mailers instead of the legacy mailers API. However, in the lua mailers script, due to the event subscriptions being performed from a lua task, it is possible that the subscription may be delayed during startup. Indeed lua tasks relie on the scheduler which runs tasks with no ordering guarantees. Thus early tasks, including server checks which are used in the regtest are competing during startup. As such, we may end up with some events that are generated right before the lua mailers script starts subscribing to events (because the lua task is scheduled but started yet), resulting in events loss from lua point of view. To fix this and to make lua mailers more reliable during startup, we now perform the events subscription from an init function instead of an asynchronous task. (The init function is called synchronously during haproxy post_init, and exclusively runs before the scheduler starts) This should be enough to prevent healthcheckmail.vtc from randomly failing		2023-05-12 09:45:30 +02:00
