This change updates tests to honor `BootstrapExpect` exclusively when
forming test clusters and removes test only knobs, e.g.
`config.DevDisableBootstrap`.
Background:
Test cluster creation is fragile. Test servers don't follow the
BootstapExpected route like production clusters. Instead they start as
single node clusters and then get rejoin and may risk causing brain
split or other test flakiness.
The test framework expose few knobs to control those (e.g.
`config.DevDisableBootstrap` and `config.Bootstrap`) that control
whether a server should bootstrap the cluster. These flags are
confusing and it's unclear when to use: their usage in multi-node
cluster isn't properly documented. Furthermore, they have some bad
side-effects as they don't control Raft library: If
`config.DevDisableBootstrap` is true, the test server may not
immediately attempt to bootstrap a cluster, but after an election
timeout (~50ms), Raft may force a leadership election and win it (with
only one vote) and cause a split brain.
The knobs are also confusing as Bootstrap is an overloaded term. In
BootstrapExpect, we refer to bootstrapping the cluster only after N
servers are connected. But in tests and the knobs above, it refers to
whether the server is a single node cluster and shouldn't wait for any
other server.
Changes:
This commit makes two changes:
First, it relies on `BootstrapExpected` instead of `Bootstrap` and/or
`DevMode` flags. This change is relatively trivial.
Introduce a `Bootstrapped` flag to track if the cluster is bootstrapped.
This allows us to keep `BootstrapExpected` immutable. Previously, the
flag was a config value but it gets set to 0 after cluster bootstrap
completes.
Copy the updated version of freeport (sdk/freeport), and tweak it for use
in Nomad tests. This means staying below port 10000 to avoid conflicts with
the lib/freeport that is still transitively used by the old version of
consul that we vendor. Also provide implementations to find ephemeral ports
of macOS and Windows environments.
Ports acquired through freeport are supposed to be returned to freeport,
which this change now also introduces. Many tests are modified to include
calls to a cleanup function for Server objects.
This should help quite a bit with some flakey tests, but not all of them.
Our port problems will not go away completely until we upgrade our vendor
version of consul. With Go modules, we'll probably do a 'replace' to swap
out other copies of freeport with the one now in 'nomad/helper/freeport'.
If ACL Request is unauthenticated, we should honor the anonymous token.
This PR makes few changes:
* `GetPolicy` endpoints may return policy if anonymous policy allows it,
or return permission denied otherwise.
* `ListPolicies` returns an empty policy list, or one with anonymous
policy if one exists.
Without this PR, the we return an incomprehensible error.
Before:
```
$ curl http://localhost:4646/v1/acl/policy/doesntexist; echo
acl token lookup failed: index error: UUID must be 36 characters
$ curl http://localhost:4646/v1/acl/policies; echo
acl token lookup failed: index error: UUID must be 36 characters
```
After:
```
$ curl http://localhost:4646/v1/acl/policy/doesntexist; echo
Permission denied
$ curl http://localhost:4646/v1/acl/policies; echo
[]
```
Noticed that ACL endpoints return 500 status code for user errors. This
is confusing and can lead to false monitoring alerts.
Here, I introduce a concept of RPCCoded errors to be returned by RPC
that signal a code in addition to error message. Codes for now match
HTTP codes to ease reasoning.
```
$ nomad acl bootstrap
Error bootstrapping: Unexpected response code: 500 (ACL bootstrap already done (reset index: 9))
$ nomad acl bootstrap
Error bootstrapping: Unexpected response code: 400 (ACL bootstrap already done (reset index: 9))
```
