Separate FreeBSD Travis build in 2 stages #635

nurupo · 2017-12-12T00:34:50Z

We need to pass different argument to the FreeBSD script for stage 1 and 2 so that it could do different things in each stage. The way you would usually do this is by adding a new variable to env, but we can't do that because in order for two jobs to share cache they must have identical env (among other things like compiler, os, etc.), so I call the scripts directly with an extra argument, as this avoid messing with env.

This change is

nurupo · 2017-12-12T07:45:16Z

The last commit was made purely to see if FreeBSD build succeeds, it should be removed before PR is merged.

nurupo · 2017-12-12T07:46:24Z

It looks like it does work.

nurupo · 2017-12-12T07:48:48Z

Should be ready for review.

sudden6 · 2017-12-12T11:12:38Z

Do you think it makes sense to include a hash with the image like you did in the qTox repo? So that when the build scripts change, the image is automatically rebuilt.

.travis.yml, line 24 at r1 (raw file):

    script:        other/travis/phase $JOB $ENV script        stage1

I think this can be removed, along with the script that does nothing?

No, neither of those can be removed. Without having stage1 as an argument, the phase script wouldn't run the freebsd-install-stage1 script. And the script with exit 0 does something -- it terminates the phase script early, preventing it from running toxcore-script.

I'm talking specifically about the script line. If it's not there it shouldn't call anything right? Or is there something I'm missing?

Don't think it would be as useful as in the qTox case, but I can add it. We don't need to rebuild the image if any of freebsd scripts are changed though, we have to watch only for changes in freebsd-install-stage1, since it's the only script that creates the VM image, other scripts just use it.

nurupo · 2017-12-12T19:24:54Z

Btw, in case you are confused with how the execution flow works

Stage 1
- install
  - env.sh <-- defines common variables and functions for toxcore-script to work
  - env-freebsd.sh <-- defines FreeBSD-specific common variables and functions for toxcore-script to work
  - freebsd-install <-- defines common variables and functions for freebsd-install-stageN scripts
  - freebsd-install-stage1 <-- creates/updates FreeBSD VM image if needed
- script
  - env.sh
  - env-freebsd.sh
  - freebsd-script-stage1 <-- terminates the phase script early so that toxcore-script doesn't run in Stage 1
  - (if not for the freebsd-script-stage1 above, toxcore-script would have ran here)
- after_script
  - env.sh
  - env-freebsd.sh
Stage 2
- install
  - env.sh
  - env-freebsd.sh
  - freebsd-install
  - freebsd-install-stage2 <-- copies toxcore's code inside FreeBSD VM so that toxcore-script could be run
- script
  - env.sh
  - env-freebsd.sh
  - toxcore-script <-- builds toxcore inside FreeBSD
- after_script
  - env.sh
  - env-freebsd.sh

sudden6 · 2017-12-12T20:08:48Z

Is toxcore-script called by this line: https://github.com/nurupo/InsertProjectNameHere/blob/21cad79a9c635a05098d4da33ffd5b4acd50a858/.travis.yml#L68 if you don't do exit 0?

nurupo · 2017-12-12T20:23:59Z

Technically it would be called by https://github.com/nurupo/InsertProjectNameHere/blob/21cad79a9c635a05098d4da33ffd5b4acd50a858/.travis.yml#L24 because the earlier script command overwrites the later ones. If you remove that script command I pointed to, then yes, it would be called by the one you have pointed out.

We don't want to call toxcore-script, i.e. build toxcore, in Stage 1 yet because then it will be no different than what Travis does right now and it will exceed the 50 minute limit. The whole idea is to split VM image creating and toxcore building in 2 parts so that we wouldn't be hitting time limits.

nurupo · 2017-12-12T20:32:48Z

I think if you looked into what other/travis/phase script does, it would make it a bit more clear to you.

Travis calls phase script 3 or 4 times for every job, 1st time for install, second time for script, the third time for after_script and the fourth time for after_failure but only if the build failed. Actually, I'm not sure if it will call after_script if the build fails, it might skip it and go straight to after_failure, but that doesn't really matter since this PR doesn't deal with any of them.

sudden6 · 2017-12-12T20:56:37Z

because the earlier script command overwrites the later ones.

Didn't know that, now it's clear. Thx for the explanation :)

If you remove this script line the one that is defined later in the script will be used and it will call toxcore-script trying to build toxcore.

Rebased on top of @Diadlo's fix_travis_test2 branch (#630) by @robinlinden's request on IRC.

sudden6 · 2017-12-13T09:52:12Z

uh, wtf happens at the windows builds?

nurupo · 2017-12-13T20:23:03Z

Oops, accidentally clicked on the wrong button while the page was still loading and layout was moving, didn't mean to close the PR.

Looks like Windows tests are crashing with stack traces and don't complete fast enough triggering Travis time limit. Did this happen before?

nurupo · 2017-12-13T20:28:34Z

Windows tests are also failing in #630, but on master they succeed.

robinlinden · 2017-12-13T20:30:28Z

That's really weird. They weren't failing when I LGTM'd it: https://travis-ci.org/TokTok/c-toxcore/builds/313983843

nurupo · 2017-12-13T20:31:18Z

Actually, it's not that they succeed on master, the tests also fail there, it's just that the jobs don't exceed 50 minutes on master. The test failure is ignored in Windows builds. Those stacktraces might also be Wine bugs, the Wine on Travis must be ancient.

nurupo · 2017-12-13T20:34:00Z

I don't really understand how Windows jobs that were getting completed in 10 minutes now take over 50. The tests do fail in both cases, so the number of times tests get re-run should be the same. Also, tests get killed after certain amount of time, so there shouldn't be any infinite loop keeping them running. I'm somewhat at loss. It would help if Travis didn't truncate the logs at 4mb.

nurupo · 2017-12-13T20:39:00Z

There is this thing Travis says

This job is running on our Trusty environment, which has been updated on Tuesday, December 12th, 2017. Read all about this on our blog and take note that you can add group: deprecated-2017Q4 in your .travis.yml file to use the previous image version.

but Windows jobs run in their own environment in Docker, which supposedly should be the same, so I don't think this would have affected them.

nurupo · 2017-12-13T20:46:08Z

Interesting, it looks like the job gets terminated at around 15 minutes of runtime because it outputs too much (see below), but even though Travis says that it's terminated, for some reason it keeps showing the job as running until it gets to 50 minutes.

The log length has exceeded the limit of 4 MB (this usually means that the test suite is raising the same exception over and over).

The job has been terminated

So it looks like the reason is not in exceeding 50 minute limit but in outputting too much.

Travis has upadted their VM image and by default the latest is being used. This has caused our Windows builds to fail due to them exceeding Travis's log limit of 4mb. It appears to be due to the new Docker version the new Trusty image has, it somehow changed network behaviour in a way that makes toxcore network module output a lot more of log messages than it used to.

nurupo · 2017-12-13T22:02:07Z

Looks like the issue was cased by a newer Docker version on the updated Travis Trusty image. Newer Docker changed networking behaviour in a way that causes toxcore's network module spamming more log messages than it used to. For now I have just made it use older Trusty image on Travis, but the proper fix would be to somehow limit the output of the tests so that total job log doesn't exceed 4mb.

sudden6 · 2017-12-13T22:25:20Z

Restarted one failing job, because it was a strange apt error.

nurupo · 2017-12-14T00:02:53Z

Yay, Travis passed.

Merged together with #630, #631, and #632 as Travis required all of them before passing and I'm unable to merge anything without Travis passing.
