ci: add Windows service start/stop test to CI workflow

[Copilot]

• Fix net start/stop OpenDJ → net start/stop "OpenDJ Server" (correct service name from pom.xml <name>OpenDJ Server</name>)
• Fix PowerShell wait loop: remove powershell -Command "..." wrapper since shell is already pwsh (prevents $i/$c being expanded to empty by the outer shell)

Original prompt

In the file .github/workflows/build.yml, the "Test on Windows" step currently tests OpenDJ as a regular process (using start-ds.bat/stop-ds.bat), but does not test the Windows service functionality.

Task: Add a Windows service registration, start, and stop test to the "Test on Windows" step.

After the existing Windows tests (after the final opendj-server-legacy\target\package\opendj\bat\stop-ds.bat), add the following test steps:

1. Enable OpenDJ as a Windows service using:

   opendj-server-legacy\target\package\opendj\bat\windows-service.bat --enableService
   

2. Start the service using:

   net start OpenDJ
   

3. Wait for the service to be ready — add a short delay/polling loop to wait for the LDAPS port to become available. For example using PowerShell:

   powershell -Command "Start-Sleep -Seconds 30"
   

4. Verify the service is running by performing an LDAP search:

   opendj-server-legacy\target\package\opendj\bat\status.bat --bindDN "cn=Directory Manager" --bindPassword password
   

5. Stop the service using:

   net stop OpenDJ
   

6. Disable the Windows service using:

   opendj-server-legacy\target\package\opendj\bat\windows-service.bat --disableService
   

Important notes:

• The windows-service.bat utility is located at opendj-server-legacy/resource/bin/windows-service.bat and invokes org.opends.server.tools.ConfigureWindowsService class.
• The service name used by OpenDJ is typically OpenDJ (the ConfigureWindowsService class determines the service name).
• The new service test block should be placed right before the existing "Upload artifacts" step, after the last stop-ds.bat command in the "Test on Windows" step.
• This should be a continuation of the existing "Test on Windows" step (same run: block), not a separate step.
• Keep the existing tests intact — do not modify or remove any existing commands.

Here is the current end of the "Test on Windows" step for reference:

    - name: Test on Windows
      if: runner.os == 'Windows'
      run:   |
        set OPENDJ_JAVA_ARGS="-server -Xmx512m"
        opendj-server-legacy\target\package\opendj\setup.bat -h localhost -p 1389 --ldapsPort 1636 --adminConnectorPort 4444 --enableStartTLS --generateSelfSignedCertificate --rootUserDN "cn=Directory Manager" --rootUserPassword password --baseDN dc=example,dc=com --sampleData 5000 --cli --acceptLicense --no-prompt
        ... (existing test commands) ...
        opendj-server-legacy\target\package\opendj\bat\stop-ds.bat

After the last stop-ds.bat, append the Windows service test commands.

The following is the prior conversation context from the user's chat exploration (may be truncated):

User: для Test on Windows добавь тест запуска и остановки как сервиса

Assistant:

I'll look at the current Windows test section and the Unix test patterns to understand what's needed, then create a PR to add Windows service start/stop testing.

Let me first check if there are any existing Windows service-related scripts or documentation in the repository.

Assistant: Теперь я вижу, что OpenDJ предоставляет утилиту windows-service.bat для регистрации/отмены как Windows-сервиса, а также команды net start/net stop для управления сервисом. Давайте создадим PR с добавлением теста запуска/остановки как Windows-сервиса.

Assistant: I've submitted a request to the Copilot coding agent to create a pull request in OpenIdentityPlatform/OpenDJ that adds Windows service start/stop testing to the "Test on Windows" step in the CI workflow.

The PR will add the following commands at the end of the existing "Test on Windows" step (after the final stop-ds.bat):

1. windows-service.bat --enableService — register OpenDJ as a Windows service
2. net start OpenDJ — start the service
3. Start-Sleep -Seconds 30 — wait for the service to be ready
4. status.bat — verify the server is running via the service
5. net stop OpenDJ — stop the service
6. windows-service.bat --disableService — unregister the service

The Copilot coding agent is working on this now. You'll receive a notification when the pull request is ready for review. You can track progress in the repository's Pull Requests tab.

This pull request was created from Copilot chat.

Pull request overview

Adds coverage in the Windows CI job to validate OpenDJ can be registered, started, and stopped as a Windows Service (not just run as a foreground process).

Changes:

• Register OpenDJ as a Windows service at the end of the existing Windows test run.
• Start the service, wait for LDAPS port readiness, and re-run an LDAP query for verification.
• Stop and unregister the service after validation.
