This change revives some compiler tests that are still lingering around
from the old architecture, before our latest round of ship burning.
It also fixes up some bugs uncovered during this:
* Don't claim that a symbol's kind is incorrect in the binder error
message when it wasn't found. Instead, say that it was missing.
* Do not attempt to compile if an error was issued during workspace
resolution and/or loading of the Mufile. This leads to trying to
load an empty path and badness quickly ensues (crash).
* Issue an error if the Mufile wasn't found (this got lost apparently).
* Rename the ErrorMissingPackageName message to ErrorInvalidPackageName,
since missing names are now caught by our new fancy decoder that
understands required versus optional fields. We still need to guard
against illegal characters in the name, including the empty string "".
* During decoding, reject !src.IsValid elements. This represents the
zero value and should be treated equivalently to a missing field.
* Do not permit empty strings "" as Names or QNames. The old logic
accidentally permitted them because regexp.FindString("") == "", no
matter the regex!
* Move the TestDiagSink abstraction to a new pkg/util/testutil package,
allowing us to share this common code across multiple package tests.
* Fix up a few messages that needed tidying or to use Infof vs. Info.
The binder tests -- deleted in this -- are about to come back, however,
I am splitting up the changes, since this represents a passing fixed point.

Mu
Mu is a framework and toolset for creating reusable stacks of services.
If you are learning about Mu for the first time, please see the overview document.
Architecture
Building and Testing
To build Mu, first clone it into a standard Go workspace:
$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/marapongo
$ git clone git@github.com:marapongo/mu $GOPATH/src/github.com/marapongo/mu
A good default value for GOPATH is ~/go.
Mu needs to know where to look for its runtime, library, etc. By default, it will look in /usr/local/mu, however you
can override this with the MUPATH variable. Normally it's easiest just to create a symlink:
$ ln -s $GOPATH/src/github.com/marapongo/mu /usr/local/mu
There is one additional build-time dependency, golint, which can be installed using:
$ go get -u github.com/golang/lint/golint
And placed on your path by:
$ export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin
At this point you should be able to build and run tests from the root directory:
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/marapongo/mu
$ make
This installs the mu binary into $GOPATH/bin, which may now be run provided make exited successfully.
Debugging
The Mu tools have extensive logging built in. In fact, we encourage liberal logging in new code, and addding new logging when debugging problems. This helps to ensure future debugging endeavors benefit from your sleuthing.
All logging is done using Google's Glog library. It is relatively barebones, and adds basic leveled logging, stack dumping, and other capabilities beyond what Go's built-in logging routines offer.
The Mu command line has two flags that control this logging and that can come in handy when debugging problems. The
--logtostderr flag spews directly to stderr, rather than the default of logging to files in your temp directory. And
the --verbose=n flag (-v=n for short) sets the logging level to n. Anything greater than 3 is reserved for
debug-level logging, greater than 5 is going to be quite verbose, and anything beyond 7 is extremely noisy.
For example, the command
$ mu compile blueprint.yaml --logtostderr -v=5
is a pretty standard starting point during debugging that will show a fairly comprehensive trace log of a compilation.
