From ea01d4c2de65f29cf23e2d28786bfc10bd5fd881 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Robertson Date: Fri, 24 Sep 2021 15:27:09 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Update postgresql testing script (#10906) - Use sytest:bionic. Sytest:latest is two years old (do we want CI to push out latest at all?) and comes with Python 3.5, which we explictly no longer support. The script now runs under PostgreSQL 10 as a result. - Advertise script in the docs - Move pg testing script to scripts-dev directory - Write to host as the script's exector, not root A few changes to make it speedier to re-run the tests: - Create blank DB in the container, not the script, so we don't have to `initdb` each time - Use a named volume to persist the tox environment, so we don't have to fetch and install a bunch of packages from PyPI each time Co-authored-by: reivilibre --- .gitignore | 1 + changelog.d/10906.misc | 1 + docker/Dockerfile-pgtests | 24 +++++++++++-- docker/run_pg_tests.sh | 7 ++-- docs/development/contributing_guide.md | 47 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ scripts-dev/test_postgresql.sh | 19 +++++++++++ test_postgresql.sh | 12 ------- 7 files changed, 92 insertions(+), 19 deletions(-) create mode 100644 changelog.d/10906.misc create mode 100755 scripts-dev/test_postgresql.sh delete mode 100755 test_postgresql.sh diff --git a/.gitignore b/.gitignore index 6b9257b5c9..fe137f3370 100644 --- a/.gitignore +++ b/.gitignore @@ -40,6 +40,7 @@ __pycache__/ /.coverage* /.mypy_cache/ /.tox +/.tox-pg-container /build/ /coverage.* /dist/ diff --git a/changelog.d/10906.misc b/changelog.d/10906.misc new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..20a1cbfbd0 --- /dev/null +++ b/changelog.d/10906.misc @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +Update development testing script `test_postgresql.sh` to use a supported Python version and make re-runs quicker. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/docker/Dockerfile-pgtests b/docker/Dockerfile-pgtests index 3bfee845c6..92b804d193 100644 --- a/docker/Dockerfile-pgtests +++ b/docker/Dockerfile-pgtests @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ # Use the Sytest image that comes with a lot of the build dependencies # pre-installed -FROM matrixdotorg/sytest:latest +FROM matrixdotorg/sytest:bionic # The Sytest image doesn't come with python, so install that RUN apt-get update && apt-get -qq install -y python3 python3-dev python3-pip @@ -8,5 +8,23 @@ RUN apt-get update && apt-get -qq install -y python3 python3-dev python3-pip # We need tox to run the tests in run_pg_tests.sh RUN python3 -m pip install tox -ADD run_pg_tests.sh /pg_tests.sh -ENTRYPOINT /pg_tests.sh +# Initialise the db +RUN su -c '/usr/lib/postgresql/10/bin/initdb -D /var/lib/postgresql/data -E "UTF-8" --lc-collate="C.UTF-8" --lc-ctype="C.UTF-8" --username=postgres' postgres + +# Add a user with our UID and GID so that files get created on the host owned +# by us, not root. +ARG UID +ARG GID +RUN groupadd --gid $GID user +RUN useradd --uid $UID --gid $GID --groups sudo --no-create-home user + +# Ensure we can start postgres by sudo-ing as the postgres user. +RUN apt-get update && apt-get -qq install -y sudo +RUN echo "user ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL" >> /etc/sudoers + +ADD run_pg_tests.sh /run_pg_tests.sh +# Use the "exec form" of ENTRYPOINT (https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/#entrypoint) +# so that we can `docker run` this container and pass arguments to pg_tests.sh +ENTRYPOINT ["/run_pg_tests.sh"] + +USER user diff --git a/docker/run_pg_tests.sh b/docker/run_pg_tests.sh index 1fd08cb62b..58e2177d34 100755 --- a/docker/run_pg_tests.sh +++ b/docker/run_pg_tests.sh @@ -10,11 +10,10 @@ set -e # Set PGUSER so Synapse's tests know what user to connect to the database with export PGUSER=postgres -# Initialise & start the database -su -c '/usr/lib/postgresql/9.6/bin/initdb -D /var/lib/postgresql/data -E "UTF-8" --lc-collate="en_US.UTF-8" --lc-ctype="en_US.UTF-8" --username=postgres' postgres -su -c '/usr/lib/postgresql/9.6/bin/pg_ctl -w -D /var/lib/postgresql/data start' postgres +# Start the database +sudo -u postgres /usr/lib/postgresql/10/bin/pg_ctl -w -D /var/lib/postgresql/data start # Run the tests cd /src export TRIAL_FLAGS="-j 4" -tox --workdir=/tmp -e py35-postgres +tox --workdir=./.tox-pg-container -e py36-postgres "$@" diff --git a/docs/development/contributing_guide.md b/docs/development/contributing_guide.md index 97352b0f26..713366368c 100644 --- a/docs/development/contributing_guide.md +++ b/docs/development/contributing_guide.md @@ -170,6 +170,53 @@ To increase the log level for the tests, set `SYNAPSE_TEST_LOG_LEVEL`: SYNAPSE_TEST_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG trial tests ``` +### Running tests under PostgreSQL + +Invoking `trial` as above will use an in-memory SQLite database.
