These two tests require debug logging enabled, because they look for log lines.
Also switched to testify assertions because the previous errors were not clear.
The dnsConfig pulled from the atomic.Value is a pointer, so modifying it in place
creates a data race. Use the exported ReloadConfig interface instead.
The LogOutput io.Writer used by TestAgent must allow concurrent reads and writes, and a
bytes.Buffer does not allow this. The bytes.Buffer must be wrapped with a lock to make this safe.
The bulk of this commit is moving the LeaderRoutineManager from the agent/consul package into its own package: lib/gort. It also got a renaming and its Start method now requires a context. Requiring that context required updating a whole bunch of other places in the code.
- return errors in TestAgent.Start so that the retry works correctly
- remove duplicate logging, the error is returned already
- add a missing t.Helper() to retry.Run
- properly set a.Agent to nil so that subsequent retry attempts will actually try to start
This commit reduces the interface to Load() a bit, in preparation for
unexporting NewBuilder and having everything call Load.
The three arguments are reduced to a single argument by moving the other
two into the options struct.
The three return values are reduced to two by moving the RuntimeConfig
and Warnings into a LoadResult struct.
https server.
In #8234 I changed a few tests to use TestAgent.HTTPAddr() to find the
addr used in the test. Due to the way HTTPAddr() was implemented these
tests were passing, but I think the pass was incidental. HTTPAddr() was
not matching any servers, and was instead returning the last server,
which happened to be the one these tests wanted.
This commit fixes the implementation of HTTPAddr to panic if no match
was found. The tests which require an HTTPS server are changed to use
a new firstAddr() to look up the correct address.
This might be better handled by allowing configuration for the InMemSink interval and retail, and disabling
the global. For now this is a smaller change to remove the goroutine leak caused by tests because go-metrics
does not provide any way of shutting down the global goroutine.
With this change, Agent.New() accepts many of the dependencies instead
of creating them in New. Accepting fully constructed dependencies from
a constructor makes the type easier to test, and easier to change.
There are still a number of dependencies created in Start() which can
be addressed in a follow up.
TestAgent.Key was only used by 3 tests. Extracting it from the common helper that is used in hundreds of
tests helps keep the shared part small and more focused.
This required a second change (which I was planning on making anyway), which was to change the behaviour of
DataDir. Now in all cases the TestAgent will use the DataDir, and clean it up once the test is complete.
Replaces #7559
Running tests in parallel, with background goroutines, results in test output not being associated with the correct test. `go test` does not make any guarantees about output from goroutines being attributed to the correct test case.
Attaching log output from background goroutines also cause data races. If the goroutine outlives the test, it will race with the test being marked done. Previously this was noticed as a panic when logging, but with the race detector enabled it is shown as a data race.
The previous solution did not address the problem of correct test attribution because test output could still be hidden when it was associated with a test that did not fail. You would have to look at all of the log output to find the relevant lines. It also made debugging test failures more difficult because each log line was very long.
This commit attempts a new approach. Instead of printing all the logs, only print when a test fails. This should work well when there are a small number of failures, but may not work well when there are many test failures at the same time. In those cases the failures are unlikely a result of a specific test, and the log output is likely less useful.
All of the logs are printed from the test goroutine, so they should be associated with the correct test.
Also removes some test helpers that were not used, or only had a single caller. Packages which expose many functions with similar names can be difficult to use correctly.

The embedded HTTPServer struct is not used by the large HTTPServer
struct. It is used by tests and the agent. This change is a small first
step in the process of removing that field.
The eventual goal is to reduce the scope of HTTPServer making it easier
to test, and split into separate packages.
There are a couple of things in here.
First, just like auto encrypt, any Cluster.AutoConfig RPC will implicitly use the less secure RPC mechanism.
This drastically modifies how the Consul Agent starts up and moves most of the responsibilities (other than signal handling) from the cli command and into the Agent.
Flags is an overloaded term in this context. It generally is used to
refer to command line flags. This struct, however, is a data object
used as input to the construction.
It happens to be partially populated by command line flags, but
otherwise has very little to do with them.
Renaming this struct should make the actual responsibility of this struct
more obvious, and remove the possibility that it is confused with
command line flags.
This change is in preparation for adding additional fields to
BuilderOpts.
This function now only starts the agent.
Using:
git grep -l 'StartTestAgent(t, true,' | \
xargs sed -i -e 's/StartTestAgent(t, true,/StartTestAgent(t,/g'
Previously the log output included the test name twice and a long date
format. The test output is already grouped by test, so adding the test
name did not add any new information. The date and time are only useful
to understand elapsed time, so using a short format should provide
succident detail.
Also fixed a bug in NewTestAgentWithFields where nil was returned
instead of the test agent.
This is like a Möbius strip of code due to the fact that low-level components (serf/memberlist) are connected to high-level components (the catalog and mesh-gateways) in a twisty maze of references which make it hard to dive into. With that in mind here's a high level summary of what you'll find in the patch:
There are several distinct chunks of code that are affected:
* new flags and config options for the server
* retry join WAN is slightly different
* retry join code is shared to discover primary mesh gateways from secondary datacenters
* because retry join logic runs in the *agent* and the results of that
operation for primary mesh gateways are needed in the *server* there are
some methods like `RefreshPrimaryGatewayFallbackAddresses` that must occur
at multiple layers of abstraction just to pass the data down to the right
layer.
* new cache type `FederationStateListMeshGatewaysName` for use in `proxycfg/xds` layers
* the function signature for RPC dialing picked up a new required field (the
node name of the destination)
* several new RPCs for manipulating a FederationState object:
`FederationState:{Apply,Get,List,ListMeshGateways}`
* 3 read-only internal APIs for debugging use to invoke those RPCs from curl
* raft and fsm changes to persist these FederationStates
* replication for FederationStates as they are canonically stored in the
Primary and replicated to the Secondaries.
* a special derivative of anti-entropy that runs in secondaries to snapshot
their local mesh gateway `CheckServiceNodes` and sync them into their upstream
FederationState in the primary (this works in conjunction with the
replication to distribute addresses for all mesh gateways in all DCs to all
other DCs)
* a "gateway locator" convenience object to make use of this data to choose
the addresses of gateways to use for any given RPC or gossip operation to a
remote DC. This gets data from the "retry join" logic in the agent and also
directly calls into the FSM.
* RPC (`:8300`) on the server sniffs the first byte of a new connection to
determine if it's actually doing native TLS. If so it checks the ALPN header
for protocol determination (just like how the existing system uses the
type-byte marker).
* 2 new kinds of protocols are exclusively decoded via this native TLS
mechanism: one for ferrying "packet" operations (udp-like) from the gossip
layer and one for "stream" operations (tcp-like). The packet operations
re-use sockets (using length-prefixing) to cut down on TLS re-negotiation
overhead.
* the server instances specially wrap the `memberlist.NetTransport` when running
with gateway federation enabled (in a `wanfed.Transport`). The general gist is
that if it tries to dial a node in the SAME datacenter (deduced by looking
at the suffix of the node name) there is no change. If dialing a DIFFERENT
datacenter it is wrapped up in a TLS+ALPN blob and sent through some mesh
gateways to eventually end up in a server's :8300 port.
* a new flag when launching a mesh gateway via `consul connect envoy` to
indicate that the servers are to be exposed. This sets a special service
meta when registering the gateway into the catalog.
* `proxycfg/xds` notice this metadata blob to activate additional watches for
the FederationState objects as well as the location of all of the consul
servers in that datacenter.
* `xds:` if the extra metadata is in place additional clusters are defined in a
DC to bulk sink all traffic to another DC's gateways. For the current
datacenter we listen on a wildcard name (`server.<dc>.consul`) that load
balances all servers as well as one mini-cluster per node
(`<node>.server.<dc>.consul`)
* the `consul tls cert create` command got a new flag (`-node`) to help create
an additional SAN in certs that can be used with this flavor of federation.
Ensure we close the Sentinel Evaluator so as not to leak go routines
Fix a bunch of test logging so that various warnings when starting a test agent go to the ltest logger and not straight to stdout.
Various canned ent meta types always return a valid pointer (no more nils). This allows us to blindly deref + assign in various places.
Update ACL index tracking to ensure oss -> ent upgrades will work as expected.
Update ent meta parsing to include function to disallow wildcarding.
* Implement endpoint to query whether the given token is authorized for a set of operations
* Updates to allow for remote ACL authorization via RPC
This is only used when making an authorization request to a different datacenter.
* Add support for parameterizing the ACL config used with a TestAgent
Using tokens that are UUIDs will get rid of some warnings
* Refactor to allow setting all tokens and change the template to ignore unset values.
This should cut down on test flakiness.
Problems handled:
- If you had enough parallel test cases running, the former circular
approach to handling the port block could hand out the same port to
multiple cases before they each had a chance to bind them, leading to
one of the two tests to fail.
- The freeport library would allocate out of the ephemeral port range.
This has been corrected for Linux (which should cover CI).
- The library now waits until a formerly-in-use port is verified to be
free before putting it back into circulation.
The embedded `Server` field on a `DNSServer` is only set inside of the
`ListenAndServe` method. If that method fails for reasons like the
address being in use and is not bindable, then the `Server` field will
not be set and the overall `Agent.Start()` will fail.
This will trigger the inner loop of `TestAgent.Start()` to invoke
`ShutdownEndpoints` which will attempt to pretty print the DNS servers
using fields on that inner `Server` field. Because it was never set,
this causes a nil pointer dereference and crashes the test.
