test: use realpath for NODE_TEST_DIR in common.js by gibfahn · Pull Request #10723 · nodejs/node

gibfahn · 2017-01-10T14:36:55Z

If you don't specify NODE_TEST_DIR, common.tmpDir will resolve to the
realpath of node/test.

If you do specify NODE_TEST_DIR (with the environment variable or by
running tools/test.py --test-dir=x), common.tmpDir (which
is resolved from testRoot) uses the symbolic path (doesn't resolve
symlinks). This uses fs.realpathSync() to fix that.

To reproduce the issue:

git clone https://github.com/nodejs/node.git &&cd node && ./configure && make -j8
ln -s node symnode
cd symnode
export NODE_TEST_DIR=$PWD/tmp
tools/test.py parallel/test-process-chdir

So I noticed another possible issue when running tools/test.py --temp-dir $PWD/tmp parallel/test-process-chdir.

Looking at these lines:

tempdir=os.environ.get('NODE_TEST_DIR') oroptions.temp_diriftempdir:
try:
os.makedirs(tempdir)
os.environ['NODE_TEST_DIR'] =tempdirexceptOSErrorasexception:
ifexception.errno!=errno.EEXIST:
print"Could not create the temporary directory", options.temp_dirsys.exit(1)

If tempdir already exists, the os.makedirs(tempdir) fails with errno.EEXIST, which is ignored. However this means that it doesn't ever run the os.environ['NODE_TEST_DIR'] = tempdir line.

Fixed by swapping os.makedirs(tempdir) and os.environ['NODE_TEST_DIR'] = tempdir. This means that NODE_TEST_DIR gets set even if the makedirs fails. If makedir fails because tempdir already existed then we still want NODE_TEST_DIR, if it fails for some other reason tools/test.py will exit, so there shouldn't be a downside to this change.

I would say, move this out of the try...except block.

Makes sense, done.

If you don't specify NODE_TEST_DIR, common.tmpDir will resolve to the realpath of `node/test`. If you do specify NODE_TEST_DIR (with the environment variable or by running or by running tools/test.py --test-dir=x), common.tmpDir (which is resolved from testRoot) uses the symbolic path (doesn't resolve symlinks). This uses fs.realpathSync() to fix that.

If a temp-dir is specified and already exists, the NODE_TEST_DIR environment variable will never be set. This fixes that.

Failure on arm looks like a machine/connection issue so CI run looks good.

Would be good to get these in v4 and v6, as otherwise we get several test failures in our CI.
