Gradle's finalizedBy on tasks only ensures one task runs after another,
but not immediately after. This is problematic for our integration tests
since it allows multiple project's integ test clusters to be
simultaneously. While this has not been a problem thus far (gradle 2.13
happened to keep the finalizedBy tasks close enough that no clusters
were running in parallel), with gradle 3.3 the task graph generation has
changed, and numerous clusters may be running simultaneously, causing
memory pressure, and thus generally slower tests, or even failure if the
system has a limited amount of memory (eg in a vagrant host).
This commit reworks how integ tests are configured. It adds an
`integTestCluster` extension to gradle which is equivalent to the current
`integTest.cluster` and moves the rest test runner task to
`integTestRunner`. The `integTest` task is then just a dummy task,
which depends on the cluster runner task, as well as the cluster stop
task. This means running `integTest` in one project will both run the
rest tests, and shut down the cluster, before running `integTest` in
another project.
This change removes the multiple ways that plugins can be added to the
integ test cluster. It also removes the use of the default
configuration, and instead adds a zip configuration to all plugins. This
will enable using project substitutions with plugins, which must be done
with the default configuration.
This change adds a Fixture class for use by gradle. A Fixture is an
external process that integration tests will use. It can be added as a
dependsOn for integTest, and will automatically be shutdown upon success
or failure, as well as relevant information dumped on failure. There is
also an example fixture in this change.
We currently use the full suite of packaged rest tests for each
distribution. We also used to run rest tests within core integ tests,
but this stopped working when we split out the test-framework, since the
test files are in there.
This change simplifies the code to run packaged rest tests just once,
for the integ-test-zip, and removes the unused rest tests from
test-framework. Distributions rest tests now check that all modules
were loaded.
The current mechanism for adding plugins to the integTest cluster is to
have a FileCollection. This works well for the integTests for a single
plugin, which automatically adds itself to be installed. However, for qa
tests where many plugins may be installed, and from other projects, it
is cumbersome to add configurations, dependencies and dependsOn
statements over and over. This simplifies installing a plugin from
another project by moving this common setup into the cluster
configuration code.
Many other improvements:
* Use spaces in ES path
* Use space in path for plugin file installation
* Use a different cwd than ES home
* Use jps to ensure process being stopped is actually elasticsearch
* Stop ES if pid file already exists
* Delete pid file when successfully killed
Also, refactored the cluster formation code to be a little more organized.
