The system tests currently uses patchwork of shell scripts which doesn't
offer proper error handling.
This commit introduced option to write new tests in pytest framework
that also allows easier manipulation of DNS traffic (using dnspython),
native XML and JSON manipulation and proper error reporting.
named_os_openfile was being called with switch_user set to true
unconditionally leading to log messages about being unable to
switch user identity from named when regenerating the key.
When running on Linux and system capabilities are available, named will
drop the extra capabilities before loading the configuration. This led
to spurious warnings from `seteuid()` because named already dropped
CAP_SETUID and CAP_GETUID capabilities.
The fix removes setting the effective uid/gid when capabilities are
available, and adds a check that we are running under the user we were
requested to run.
Add recursive "test" and "unit" rules, which execute "make check"
in specific directories - "make test" runs the system tests, and
"make unit" runs the unit tests.
The current script used ephemeral port range which clashed with the
ports used by the tools (dig, ...), and the range always started with
the first port and there was 100 ports allocated for each system test.
In this commit, the first port has been randomized, the get_ports.sh
script outputs the variables (the output has to be eval'ed from run.sh)
and there's less waste in the port range.
There are several improvements over the default/previous behaviour of
the test log driver and log compiler:
* The system-test-driver.sh was dropped (it was used incorrectly)
* The run.sh script is now both log compiler and cli script to run
individual tests
* The custom-test-driver was added as extended version of the automake
test-driver with capability to tee the test output to stdout when
`--verbose yes` is passed to it (you can use LOG_DRIVER_FLAGS to
add the option by default)
* Makefile.am has been extended to honor V=1 for the system tests
test-driver (e.g. V=1 adds `--verbose yes` to AM_LOG_DRIVER_FLAGS)
fstrm_capture is not an essential utility, but its corresponding
Makefile token needs to substituted even if it is not found in PATH or
else the "dnstap" system test will consistently fail.
The bin/tests/wire_test helper program is currently not included in any
Makefile.am file. Move its source code to bin/tests/system and build it
along other helper tools when dnstap support is requested as the
"dnstap" system test needs this tool in order to pass.
Make yaml.load_all() use yaml.SafeLoader to address a warning currently
emitted when bin/tests/system/dnstap/ydump.py is run:
ydump.py:28: YAMLLoadWarning: calling yaml.load_all() without Loader=... is deprecated, as the default Loader is unsafe. Please read https://msg.pyyaml.org/load for full details.

The libirs contained own re-implementations of the getaddrinfo,
getnameinfo and gai_strerror + irs_context and irs_dnsconf API that was
unused anywhere in the BIND 9.
Keep just the irs_resonf API that is being extensively used to parse
/etc/resolv.conf by several of BIND 9 tools.
The 'ephemeral' database implementation was used to provide a
lightweight database implemenation that doesn't cache results, and the
only place where it was really use is "samples" because delv is
overriding this to use "rbtdb" instead. Otherwise it was completely
unused.
* The 'ephemeral' cache DB (ecdb) implementation. An ecdb just provides
* temporary storage for ongoing name resolution with the common DB interfaces.
* It actually doesn't cache anything. The implementation expects any stored
* data is released within a short period, and does not care about the
* scalability in terms of the number of nodes.
The three libdns tests directly include ../dst_internal.h which
in turn directly include openssl headers, thus there was a missing
path and build failure on systems where OpenSSL is not in the default
include path.
