This is part of the transition to using framework/log instead
of the Logf inside the framework package. This will help with
import size/cycles when importing the framework or subpackages.
- moves these helper functions into e2e/framework/auth
- removes logging from helper functions
- in some cases explicitly returns errors that were implicitly
ignored/logged. In the situations where they should be ignored,
we explicitly check that the condition is met before ignoring it.
- fixes references of these methods to use the right package and
return values
iSCSI target (=the server) is implemented in Linux kernel. The "iSCSI
server" pod is not a real server, it just configures the kernel on the
host. In order to run iSCSI tests in parallel, we need to be able to
run multiple such pods on a single node, serving different LUNs to
different tests.
The "server pod" must run with HostNetwork=true to achieve that.
Each pod then creates its own IQN with namespace name, so it can't
collide with other server pods running in another namespaces on the same
node.
Need to add bracket in the tag for sig-windows. Also fix an issue: for
current testing structure, it first init driver and then set up the
framework. So when initialize the driver, it does not know what OS is
and we can not set up the capabilities correctly. Instead we have to add
all the capabilities and supported fs types including both linux and
windows. Later in the code, we will check the Node OS and decide how to
run the test.
CreateDriver (now called SetupTest) is a potentially expensive
operation, depending on the driver. Creating and tearing down a
framework instance also takes time (measured at 6 seconds on a fast
machine) and produces quite a bit of log output.
Both can be avoided for tests that skip based on static
information (like for instance the current OS, vendor, driver and test
pattern) by making the test suite responsible for creating framework
and driver.
The lifecycle of the TestConfig instance was confusing because it was
stored inside the DriverInfo, a struct which conceptually is static,
while the TestConfig is dynamic. It is cleaner to separate the two,
even if that means that an additional pointer must be passed into some
functions. Now CreateDriver is responsible for initializing the
PerTestConfig that is to be used by the test.
To make this approach simpler to implement (= less functions which
need the pointer) and the tests easier to read, the entire setup and
test definition is now contained in a single function. This is how it
is normally done in Ginkgo. This is easier to read because one can see
at a glance where variables are set, instead of having to trace values
though two additional structs (TestResource and TestInput).
Because we are changing the API already, also other changes are made:
- some function prototypes get simplified
- the naming of functions is changed to match their purpose
(tests aren't executed by the test suite, they only get defined
for later execution)
- unused methods get removed (TestSuite.skipUnsupportedTest is redundant)
This increases type safety and makes the code easier to read because
it becomes obvious that the "test resource" passed to some functions
must be the result of a previous CreateVolume.
This makes it possible to remove:
- functions that never did anything (the DeleteVolume methods in
drivers that never create a volume)
- type casts (in the DeleteVolume implementation)
- the unused DeleteVolume parameters
- the stand-alone DeleteVolume function (which would be just a non-nil
check)
GetPersistentVolumeSource and GetVolumeSource could also become
methods on more specific interfaces - they don't actually use anything
from TestDriver instance which provides them.
The main motivation however is to reduce the number of methods which
might need an explicit test config parameter.
