The intended purpose of the @pytest.mark.requests decorator was to cause
Python-based parts of the "statschannel" system test to be skipped if
the requests Python module is not available. However, both
tests-json.py and tests-xml.py contain a global "import requests"
statement which triggers ImportError exceptions during test
initialization if the requests module is not available. In other words,
the @pytest.mark.requests decorator serves no useful purpose.
Since all tests in both tests-json.py and tests-xml.py depend on the
requests Python module, employ pytest.importorskip() to ensure the
Python-based parts of the "statschannel" system test are skipped when
the requests module is not available. Remove all occurrences of the
@pytest.mark.requests decorator (and all associated code) to prevent
confusion.
All tests in bin/tests/system/statschannel/tests-json.py require json-c
support to be enabled in BIND 9 at build-time. Instead of applying the
same pytest.mark.skipif() decorator to every test in that file, set the
'pytestmark' global accordingly in order to immediately skip all tests
in tests-json.py if json-c support is not compiled in.
Remove all occurrences of the @pytest.mark.json decorator (and all
associated code) from the "statschannel" system test as the json module
is a part of the Python standard library since Python 2.6 (so checking
whether it is available is redundant) and checking for json-c support in
the tested BIND 9 build is already handled by setting the 'pytestmark'
global accordingly.
Also remove a related excerpt from bin/tests/system/rpzextra/conftest.py
as it is a copy-paste artifact that serves no purpose in the "rpzextra"
system test.
The "statschannel" system test contains two Python helper modules:
- generic.py: test functions directly invoked by both tests-json.py
and test-xml.py,
- helper.py: helper functions invoked by test functions in generic.py.
The above logic for splitting helper functions into Python modules
prevents selective test skipping from working due to unconditional
import statements being present in both helper modules. For example, if
dnspython is not available on the test host, tests-json.py imports
generic.py, which in turn imports helper.py, which in turn attempts to
import various dnspython modules, triggering ImportError exceptions
during test initialization. Various decorators used for some tests
(like @pytest.mark.dnspython) suggest that such a scenario should be
handled gracefully, but that is not the case - modifying the test
collection in conftest.py does not prevent pytest from failing due to
import errors.
Fix by moving helper functions around to achieve a different split:
- generic.py: helper functions only relying on the Python standard
library,
- generic_dnspython.py: helper functions requiring dnspython.
Only two tests in tests-{json,xml}.py need dnspython to work
(test_traffic_json(), test_traffic_xml()). Since all
dnspython-dependent code is now present in generic_dnspython.py, employ
pytest.importorskip() in those two tests to ensure they can be
selectively skipped when dnspython is not available. Adjust other code
to account for the revised Python helper module layout. Remove all
occurrences of the @pytest.mark.dnspython decorator (and all associated
code) from the "statschannel" system test to prevent confusion.
Most Python-based system tests need to know which ports were assigned to
a given test by bin/tests/system/get_ports.sh. This is currently
handled by inspecting the values of various environment variables (set
by bin/tests/system/run.sh) and passing the port numbers to Python
scripts via pytest fixtures. However, this glue code has so far been
copy-pasted into each system test using it, rather than reused.
Since pytest also looks for conftest.py files in parent directories,
move commonly used fixtures to bin/tests/system/conftest.py. Set the
scope of all the moved fixtures to "session" as their return values are
only based on environment variables, so there is no point in recreating
them for every test requesting them. Adjust test code accordingly.
This commit converts the license handling to adhere to the REUSE
specification. It specifically:
1. Adds used licnses to LICENSES/ directory
2. Add "isc" template for adding the copyright boilerplate
3. Changes all source files to include copyright and SPDX license
header, this includes all the C sources, documentation, zone files,
configuration files. There are notes in the doc/dev/copyrights file
on how to add correct headers to the new files.
4. Handle the rest that can't be modified via .reuse/dep5 file. The
binary (or otherwise unmodifiable) files could have license places
next to them in <foo>.license file, but this would lead to cluttered
repository and most of the files handled in the .reuse/dep5 file are
system test files.
pytest was failing because it was testing features that had
not been configured. test to see if those features have been
configured before running the tests.
