Thanks! I haven't reviewed this yet, but this is erroring in our CI build, for test
|
Unfortunately I can't reproduce locally. Is it possible to trigger PR builds automatically for contributors? Otherwise the feedback loop is too long. |
Re: CI: yeah, I realize it's kind of painful. We'll need to think through how to make this experience better for ya'll. |
I found and fixed the problem. It wasn't showing locally because the test was using cache dir ~/.pkl/cache. The fix makes breaking changes to spi.v1, which probably isn't a good idea. Let me know if you'd like me to do spi.v2 instead. |

This looks really, really good... As to the API change; I believe the incompatible changes you're making are all additional fields in constructors and such (did I miss it?). Maybe it can stay v1
if you add additional constructors that retain the old behaviour and just fill in reasonable defaults for the HttpClient in those cases.
Thoughts, @bioball?

Fixed in a later commit. I've noticed that several CLI tests use default settings and hence use ~/.pkl/cacerts and ~/.pkl/cache, which makes them non-deterministic.

It's java.lang.AutoCloseable

I didn't change CliBaseOptions
to implement AutoCloseable
. Usually, an options object shouldn't need to be closed. Adding CliBaseOptions.httpClient
felt a bit smelly, but it seemed like a price worth paying for being able to share HttpClient
resources between commands. I couldn't find another way to achieve this without a major redesign.
I documented calling CliBaseOptions.httpClient.close()
for the edge cases where it might matter. That's also why I made httpClient
public.
Let me know if you want me to change CliBaseOptions
to implement AutoCloseable
. Kotlin doesn't have try-with-resources, but it does have a Closeable.use
extension method.

I don't think CliBaseOptions
implementing AutoCloseable
is the right call.
We have a couple places where our builders accept Closeable
, but we also try to avoid it whenever we can.
Probably makes more sense to either accept the options on HttpClient.Builder
directly, or accept HttpClient.Builder
as an option as a whole.

I considered passing HttpClient
to CliCommand

is no longer meaningful. (It's HttpClient
that needs to be configured with the certificates.)

Sorry, so, one suggestion is to add the builder methods on HttpClient.Builder
to EvaluatorBuilder

public EvaluatorBuilder addCertificates(Path file) { /* etc */ }
public EvaluatorBuilder addCertificates(URI file) { /* etc */ }
Another option is to accept an HttpClient.Builder

class EvaluatorBuilder {
public HttpClient.Builder setHttpClientBuilder(HttpClient.Builder builder) { /* etc */ }

Currently we have EvaluatorBuilder.setHttpClient()
. Your proposals might make EvaluatorBuilder
more convenient to use if the default HTTP client isn't good enough. But I don't see how any of this relates to the CliBaseOptions.httpClient
discussion, and it's not clear to me if and what change you want there.

I'm proposing that both here, and in evaluator builder, we provide knobs for addCertificates
, and possibly any other options on HttpClient.Builder
.
After playing around with this locally, though, I don't feel strongly about this, and am okay with how you are doing it.

:
If the request does not specify a timeout, the client's
request timeout is used. If the request does not specify
a preferred HTTP version, HTTP/2 is used. The request's
User-Agent header is set to the client's User-Agent

I pondered on this for a while because I had to make the same decision a few lines above. I came to the conclusion that the use of uri
here is a bug. It means that ModuleCache.modulesByResolvedUri
will cache the module under its unresolved URI, which is exactly what ModuleCache.modulesByOriginalUri
does. So modulesByResolvedUri
no longer serves any purpose.

"resolve" here means resolving the in-language URI to the actual URI used for fetching a module's contents.
For example, an in-language URI might be projectpackage://pkg.pkl-lang.com/foo@1.0.0#/foo.kl
, whereas the resolved URI might be file:///path/to/foo.pkl
. It's useful here because the same actual file can be imported using two different URIs in language, but actually are both the same file and we don't need to load it twice.
It means that ModuleCache.modulesByResolvedUri will cache the module under its unresolved URI, which is exactly what ModuleCache.modulesByOriginalUri does. So modulesByResolvedUri no longer serves any purpose

and modulesByOriginalUri
(e.g. file:
modules). It's expected for things like this.

I think the best I can do is to use SSLContext.getDefault()

Also: what was the thinking around introducing org.pkl.core.http.HttpClient?
At first I was using java.net.http.HttpClient
directly. But baking this interface into Pkl APIs didn't feel right. Having our own abstraction has clear benefits:
- It puts us in control: We can remove what is irrelevant to Pkl, and add or change what is beneficial.
- A smaller interface is easier to implement and doesn't require throwing
UnsupportedOperationException
for all the methods that a particular implementation may not be able or willing to support. We already have 4 implementations, and chances are there will be more. - For the same reason, it will be easier to support alternative implementations (Apache, Netty, etc.) if the need arises. While
java.net.http.HttpClient
is a clear step up fromHttpURLConnection
, it will always remain less capable than third-party libraries. For example, Netty supports a safer TLS implementation.
But, it also puts the burden on us to expose all the settings someone might want, that are already in java.net.http.HttpClient.Builder.
Also, maybe users already have their own java.net.HttpClient that they want to use and share with the rest of their application?
We could easily support this with something like an HttpClient from(java.net.http.HttpClient)
factory method.
I didn't want to go so far as to have our own HttpRequest(Builder)
, HttpResponse(Builder)
, etc. Having "just" our own HttpClient(Builder)
felt like the sweet spot.

I think I'd prefer to not change this.
If we add this, we'll need to introduce v2
. And, for the executor use-case, you likely want Pkl to trust the same certs that the JVM already trusts anyways. It doesn't seem compelling enough to add a new knob here just yet.
I think let's have ExecutorSpiImpl
use an http client that uses the default SSLContext

@translatenix: ack; I'll get back to you by end of day tomorrow. Thanks again for your work here, and bear with us as we work through all the PRs (including our own). |
I've now implemented spi.v2 to support certificate files (and This is ready to be merged from my side. |
Moving to java.net.http.HttpClient brings many benefits, including HTTP/2 support and the ability to make asynchronous requests. Major additions and changes: - Introduce a lightweight org.pkl.core.http.HttpClient API. This keeps some flexibility and allows to enforce behavior such as setting the User-Agent header. - Provide an implementation that delegates to java.net.http.HttpClient. - Use HttpClient for all HTTP(s) requests across the codebase. This required adding an HttpClient parameter to constructors and factory methods of multiple classes, some of which are public APIs. - Manage CA certificates per HTTP client instead of per JVM. This makes it unnecessary to set JVM-wide system/security properties and default SSLSocketFactory's. Each HTTP client maintains its own connection pool and SSLContext. For efficiency reasons, I've tried to reuse clients whenever feasible. To avoid memory leaks, clients are not stored in static fields. HTTP clients are expensive to create. For this reason, EvaluatorBuilder defaults to a "lazy" client that creates the underlying java.net.http.HttpClient on the first send (which may never happen).
- fix test that was using cache dir ~/.pkl/cache - verify in one existing test that cache is populated
- throw HttpClientInitException with user-friendly error message - handle both eagerly and lazily initialized clients
- use uri instead of response.uri()/redirected when constructing ResolvedModuleKey - add docs for HttpClient implementations
- default to SSLContext.getDefault() instead of built-in certificates in HttpClient - simplify Kotlin code using `with()` - add missing semicolon in documented User-Agent header - shorten comment (topic was discussed in PR, stops silly ktfmt formatting) - move built-in certificate file to new pkl-certs subproject - use java.net.URI instead of java.net.URL for certificate files (safer) - only allow jar: and file: certificate URIs
This allows to support certificate files without introducing breaking changes. - undo breaking changes to spi.v1 - play it safe and keep spi.v2 totally independent of spi.v1 (no `ExecutorSpiOptions2 extends ExecutorSpiOptions` etc.) - run executor tests against both SPI versions - switch to `getPlatformClassLoader()` as indicated in "once we move to JDK9+" comments

It’s the same instance that’s shared, which is especially relevant for HttpClient and not generally the case for other protected members.

There's already a CliBaseOptions.caCertificates

Adding convenience methods to EvaluatorBuilder
is possible, but let's defer this. I could do this in #197 , which already adds a couple of convenience methods to EvaluatorBuilder
.

It's because the underlying JDK client only offers weak guarantees, and at least connections will eventually expire even if close()

method.) But I'll remove this nevertheless.

For just adding more options, let's make this part of the v1 SPI, but just as an additional class that extends ExecutorSpiOptions
. This simplifies the SPI stuff quite a bit.
I've prepared a diff that demonstrates the changes that I'm talking about here (not fully tested):

I don’t think this works. Classes in the spi package are loaded by the class loader that loads pkl-executor classes (see PklDistributionClassloader.loadClass). If you have an old pkl-executor that only has v1.ExecutorSpiOptions, and a newer pkl-core that tries to instantiate v1.ExecutorSpiOptions2, you’ll get a NoClassDefFoundError.
SPI versioning is tricky business. I think it’s best to keep everything strictly separated even if it means some code duplication. I tried making v2.ExecutorSpiOptions2 extend v1.ExecutorSpiOptions, which I think should work, but it didn’t help all that much, and I didn’t feel it was worth the risk and version entanglement.
Note that going from 2 to 3 versions will be easier than going from 1 to 2 because I more or less added the infrastructure needed to support n versions. The code duplication is somewhat ugly, but the duplicated code is pretty dumb.

We need to detail this somewhere, but--PackageResolver isn't a public API.
Currently it is, by definition:
EvaluatorBuilder
is a public API. It has a public methodsetProjectDependencies(org.pkl.core.project.DeclaredDependencies)
->org.pkl.core.project
is a public API.org.pkl.core.project.ProjectDependenciesResolver
has a public constructor that takesorg.pkl.core.packages.PackageResolver
->org.pkl.core.packages
is a public API.PackageResolver.getDependencyMetadataAndComputeChecksum
returnsorg.pkl.core.util.Pair
->org.pkl.core.util
is a public API.
Formalizing the public API by adding support for JPMS (#42) will be a good exercise. It will also likely require breaking API changes. It's something I'd be interested to work on.

Right; you won't be able to use a newer Pkl version with this approach. But, it's backwards compatible with older Pkl distributions. But, we actually have this problem regardless with your approach too?

The way I know this from other projects is that either side should be able to update without breaking the other to avoid a lock-in. If there’s a case that doesn’t work, I’m happy to fix it (and add test coverage) after the build has been stabilized.

I know this is higher friction for you, but, I'd prefer to not merge something into main that isn't releasable. If it feels like too much churn for you, I can prepare a version of your PR that excludes the SPI changes (and same with #227)
- fix pkl-certs description - build executor `HttpClient`s lazily - polish docs
I've addressed everything I could in my latest commit (as per my comments). Once you're ready to merge, please squash before merging (or ask me to squash). |
We will definitely squash when merging |
- Remove spi.v2 and switch to the implementation strategy proposed in the review: spi.v1.ExecutorSpiOptions2 now extends spi.v1.ExecutorSpiOptions1. - Add ExecutorOptions2 to avoid breaking changes in the pkl-executor API. - Tweak PklDistributionClassLoader to support using an older pkl-executor with a newer Pkl distribution if the Pkl distribution contains pkl-executor SPI classes. To de-risk this commit, distributions aren't changed to contain these classes. - Improve EmbeddedExecutorTest to run most tests against all combinations of older/newer pkl-executor and older/newer Pkl distribution. Testing of older pkl-executor and newer Pkl distribution can be enabled when a distribution containing SPI classes becomes available.
Instead of backing out all SPI changes, I switched to your suggested implementation approach. If you prefer to back out all SPI changes, I'll take you up on your offer to take over from here. |

It's supposed to be deterministic and is only used when running tests with IntelliJ's built-in test runner. The main problem with copying is that it requires gw prepTest
after every gw clean somethingThatDoesntRunPrepTest

Would be best to move to IntelliJ's Gradle test runner once developing on Windows is possible.

@translatenix: are you planning on addressing the nits here? If so, I'll wait for them before merging. Otherwise, we can go ahead and merge, and we will submit a follow-up cleanup PR. |
Cleanup PR here: #295 |
Moving to java.net.http.HttpClient brings many benefits, including HTTP/2 support and the ability to make asynchronous requests.
Major additions and changes:
Each HTTP client maintains its own connection pool and SSLContext. For efficiency reasons, I've tried to reuse clients whenever feasible. To avoid memory leaks, clients are not stored in static fields.
HTTP clients are expensive to create. For this reason, EvaluatorBuilder defaults to a "lazy" client that creates the underlying java.net.http.HttpClient on the first send (which may never happen).
Fixes #157.
Note: This PR allows to fix the "flaky PackageServer tests" problem in a principled way. Because all HTTP requests are now routed through HttpClient, PackageServer can bind to a dynamic port, and HttpClient can rewrite requests to use that port in test mode. I've tested this approach on a local branch, and it's the first time I can get "gw clean build" to pass without "connection refused" errors.
