It is rarely used and was not consistently handled by different distributions anyway.
This commit also adds a test for specifying CONF_DIR when installing plugins and
starting elasticsearch.
relates to #12712 and #12954closes#5329closes#13715
package installation creates the plugin directory already so when a plugin
is installed it prints the additional line
Plugins directory [/tmp/elasticsearch/plugins] does not exist. Creating...
Plugin cli tools configures logging with whatever is in the logging.yml.
If a file appender is configured for any of the logs this will cause creation
of an empty log file. If a plugin was for example installed as root it will
create empty logs at es.home/logs.
This is problematic when for example plugins are installed as root and es is run
as service. Logs will then be created in /usr/share/elasticsearch/logs
and can later not be removed by for example dpkg -r or -purge.
To avoid this, configure the logger to use an appender that writes to the same
output that plugin cli tool does. This allows other components that are called
from Plugin cli tool to write to the same terminal that plugin cli tool writes to
by using the logging mechanism already in place.
The logging conf is not read at all pb plugin cli tool.
As a side effect, the loging level for components that are called
from the plugin command such as the jar hell check can now be configured
with -Des.logger.level which makes it easier to debug the jar hell check.
Installs javatana in vivid, emulates its on-login actions when starting
elasticsearch and verifies that elasticsearch turns off javatana.
Relates to #13813
Before this commit he tests always run bin/plugin as root which is somewhat
unrealistic and causes trouble (log files owned by root instead of
elasticsearch). After this commit `bin/plugin` runs as root when elasticsearch
is installed via the repository and as elasticsearch otherwise which is much
more realistic.
This also adds extra timeout to starting elasticsearch which is required
when all the plugins are installed. And it fixes up a problem with logging
elasticsearch's log if elasticsearch doesn't start which came up multiple
time while debugging this problem.
Also adds docs recommending running `bin/plugin` as the user that owns the
Elasticsearch files or root if installed with the packages.
Closes#13557
This adds SuSe Linux Enterprise Server 12 to the list of tested VMs.
SLES 12 is using systemd, so that the current RPM works
out of the box.
SLES12 however is already quite old and does not ship with java8, so this
required adding an opensuse repo.
Fix the vagrant tests after azure was split into 3 plugins. The tests
need to list all the plugins and some dependency so we can make sure the
plugin can be installed and uninstalled.
Until now we had a cloud-azure plugin which is providing 3 distinct features:
* discovery on Azure
* snapshot/restore on Aure
* SMB store
This commit splits the plugin by feature so people can use either one or the other or both features.
Doc is updated accordingly.
Right now we execute some debian-isms in the init.d tests. This switches to
trying both the debian and centos ways to stop services from starting
automatically.
The AWS plugin was broken into discovery-ec2 and repository-s3 so we can't
test the old plugin and must test the new ones.
Fixed some wording issues in test names.
This changes the packaging tests to start Elasticsearch with all plugins
installed and checks `_cat/plugins?h=c` against the list of plugins in
the plugins directory. If the list differs, error! So it proves that the
plugins can be installed using bin/plugin as shipped in the rpm and deb
packages.
Closes#13254
There are two other obvious ways to implement the "packages don't start
elasticsearch" checks but when you work through them they aren't as nice
as the implementation of the checks that we use now. This just adds
documentation to that effect.
We don't want either the deb or rpm package to start elasticsearch as soon
as they install nor do we want the package to register elasticsearch to
start on restart. That action is reserved for the administrator. This adds
tests for that.
Closes#13122
To do this we:
1. All the rpm based distros we test support Java 8. We just ask to install
it.
2. There is a ppa that works for the Ubuntus. We just add that for them.
3. Debian Jessie has Java 8 in its backports. We just add that repository.
4. Debian Wheezy doesn't have Java 8 easily accessible so we drop it. We
could add it back with Orache Java 8 at a later date but that will take a
few more backflips and won't support things like vagrant-cachier.
This required a ton of rebuilding of vagrant boxes so it also fixes:
1. apt-get update is run too frequently
2. Lots of weird warning messages are spit out of apt-get
3. Switch from the chef provided based images to those provided by boxcutter.
The chef images has left vagrant atlas!
Closes#13366
This cleans up deb, rpm, systemd, and sysvinit tests:
1. Move skip_not_rpm, skip_not_dpkg, etc to the setup() methods for faster
runtime and cleaner code.
2. Removed lots of needless invocations of `run`
3. Created install_package for use in the systemd and sysvinit tests.
4. Removed lots of needless stderr to stdout redirects.
Closes#13075
Related to #13074
Virtualbox is the default virtualization provier for vagrant but folks
override that from time to time. If they do then the build will fail because
the boxes used by the build don't usually support non-virtualbox providers.
Closes#13217
Now we are using short names for artifactId (see #12879) so we don't need anymore to transform long names `elasticsearch-pluginname` to short names `pluginname` in ant script when we install a plugin.
Modify also convert-plugin-name
Clean up remaining plugins with old format
And fix vagrant tests
1. Move `clean_before_test` to the first test so its more explicit.
2. Move `skip_not_tar_gz` to setup because it was run first in every test.
3. Remove calls to `run` that only check the status. Its simpler to just
execute the command. Its better because std-out will be captured and replayed
on error.
4. Switch from `su` to `sudo` because `su` was breaking `bats`'s error
reporting.
In the bats test ES_CLEAN_BEFORE_TEST was used to clean the environment
before running the tests. Unfortunately the tests don't work unless you
specify it every time. This removes that option and always runs the clean.
This creates a module in qa called vagrant that can be run if you have
vagrant and virtualbox installed and will run the packaging tests in trusty
and centos-7.0. You can ask it to run tests in other linuxes. This is the full
list:
* precise aka Ubuntu 12.04
* trusty aka Ubuntu 14.04
* vivid aka Ubuntun 15.04
* wheezy aka Debian 7, the current debian oldstable distribution
* jessie aka Debian 8, the current debina stable distribution
* centos-6
* centos-7
* fedora-22
* oel-7
There is lots of documentation on how to do this in the TESTING.asciidoc.
