test: do not write fixture in test-require-symlink by Trott · Pull Request #15067 · nodejs/node

Trott · 2017-08-28T23:32:54Z

test-require-symlink modifies the fixture directory by adding a symlink.
Copy the fixture to the test tmpdir instead of modifying the fixture
directory.

Typo: fixtureSource

This could be dirName or tmpDirTarget.

Wouldn't you rather execSync('cp -Rf Src Trg') / for windows execSync('xcopy /E /Y Src Trg')?

I prefer the more verbose way here because:
there's no difference between Windows and POSIX test code that way
it does not depend on even the most mundane external dependency.
execSync always feels like a code smell to me, although it's almost certainly not going to cause problems here.
I admit my reasons are not super-compelling but I'm also not sure the counter-arguments are super-compelling either. I'll certainly change it if this is a blocking objection. :-)

I'm not too thrilled about this (I know it was like this before). I rather have an emperical test:
constsymLinkTest=path.join(common.tmpDir,'symLinkTest .js');try{fs.symlinkSync(__filename,symLinkTest);}catch(e){assert.strictEqual(e.code,'EPERM');common.skip('insufficient privileges');}

Sure, done! (I changed the assert to an if ... throw.)

Does this need to be tested upfront as opposed to wrapping the actual symlink calls in the test in a try-catch block?

Hmmm...maybe even better: It looks like there's a common.canCreateSymlink() used in two files. I can use it here.

richardlau · 2017-09-08T17:07:54Z

This can now be fs.copyFileSync().

@refack Is this OK by you as is, or do you object? If you want changes, can you clarify what changes you'd like to see?

Hmmm...passing for me locally. But obviously not in CI.... will take a look...

Trott · 2017-09-15T22:15:04Z

Odd. When I log in to a CI machine where it's failing and run the test from the CLI there, it works fine.

su iojs?

Trott · 2017-09-15T22:19:11Z

@refack Tried both sudo -u iojs a and su - iojs and in both cases, the test still ran fine. 🤔

Trott · 2017-09-15T22:50:56Z

I added some logging of the error in CI and it seems like linkscript.js can't find ../../common.js but only when it is run from CI.

Ah! Looks like symlinking with a full path messes things up because of a symlink higher up in the path. The tmp directories in test are symlinked to /data/iojs/node-tmp and this is no doubt a common pattern in CI (as evidenced by across-the-board failure).

I'll fix the test to use relative paths for symlinking all within the tmp dir.

Trott · 2017-09-15T23:25:50Z

OK, hopefully that fixes it...

Trott · 2017-09-15T23:37:53Z

Cleaned up the test but missed cleaning up the fixture which still refers to the full path of the tmp directory...

test-require-symlink modifies the fixture directory by adding a symlink. Copy the fixture to the test tmpdir instead of modifying the fixture directory. This also uses a more empirical test for checking for the ability to make symlinks on Windows.

Trott · 2017-09-16T03:14:24Z

OK, results look much better that time, but a few infra-related issues, some of which are now fixed, so one more time...

@Trott the CI seems fine (the linter is failing often... I do not know why but maybe a eslint update might help - or does someone know where the errors might come from?). Is this ready to land?
