Though bats tests were recently removed, there remains a few unnecessary
setups needed for those tests in our vagrant files, as well as CI setup.
Additionally, we no longer rely on the vagrant images setting a
JAVA_HOME, instead relying on DistroTestPlugin to pull the appropriate
jdk when testing with no-jdk distributions.
Backport of #46599 and #47640. Add packaging tests for Docker.
* Introduce packaging tests for Docker (#46599)
Closes#37617. Add packaging tests for our Docker images, similar to what
we have for RPMs or Debian packages. This works by running a container and
probing it e.g. via `docker exec`. Test can also be run in Vagrant, by
exporting the Docker images to disk and loading them again in VMs. Docker
is installed via `Vagrantfile` in a selection of boxes.
* Only define Docker pkg tests if Docker is available (#47640)
Closes#47639, and unmutes tests that were muted in b958467.
The Docker packaging tests were being defined irrespective of whether
Docker was actually available in the current environment. Instead,
implement exclude lists so that in environments where Docker is not
available, no Docker packaging tests are defined. For CI hosts, the build
checks `.ci/dockerOnLinuxExclusions`. The Vagrant VMs can defined the
extension property `shouldTestDocker` property to opt-in to packaging
tests.
As part of this, define a seperate utility class for checking Docker,
and call that instead of defining checks in-line in BuildPlugin.groovy
* Work around incorrect lintian version on debian 10
Relates to #48573 and intended as a work around to stop the CI failures
until we fix the image.
* Need to pass --allow-downgrades
This PR makes the necesary adaptations to the tests and adds a power shell script to
invoke the OS tests on GCP instances connected as CI workers.
Also noticed that logs were not being produced by the tests and that theses were not using log4j so fixed that too.
One of the difficulties in working on theses tests was that the tests just stalled with no indication where the problem is.
To ease with the debugging, after process explorer suggested that the tests are running some commands, we now have multiple timeouts: one for the tests ( which will generate a thread dump ) and one for individual commands ( that bails with the command being ran and output and error so far ) to make it easier to see what went wrong.
The tests were blocking because apparently the pipes to the sub-process were not closing, thus the threads were blocking on them and we were blocking indefinitely on the join. I'm not sure why this doesn't happen in vagrant, but we now properly deal with it.
