Paul Holzinger 92b3cda79b [v5.0] use new c/common pasta2 setup logic to fix dns
By default we just ignored any localhost reolvers, this is problematic
for anyone with more complicated dns setups, i.e. split dns with
systemd-reolved. To address this we now make use of the build in dns
proxy in pasta. As such we need to set the default nameserver ip now.

A second change is the option to exclude certain ips when generating the
host.containers.internal ip. With that we no longer set it to the same
ip as is used in the netns. The fix is not perfect as it could mean on a
system with a single ip we no longer add the entry, however given the
previous entry was incorrect anyway this seems like the better behavior.

Fixes #22044

[NO NEW TESTS NEEDED]

Quick overview of podman system tests. The idea is to use BATS, but with a framework for making it easy to add new tests and to debug failures.

Quick Start

Look at 030-run.bats for a simple but packed example. This introduces the basic set of helper functions:

  • setup (implicit) - resets container storage so there's one and only one (standard) image, and no running containers.

  • parse_table - you can define tables of inputs and expected results, then read those in a while loop. This makes it easy to add new tests. Because bash is not a programming language, the caller of parse_table sometimes needs to massage the returned values; 015-run.bats offers examples of how to deal with the more typical such issues.

  • run_podman - runs command defined in $PODMAN (default: 'podman' but could also be './bin/podman' or 'podman-remote'), with a timeout. Checks its exit status.

  • is - compare actual vs expected output. Emits a useful diagnostic on failure.

  • die - output a properly-formatted message to stderr, and fail test

  • skip_if_rootless - if rootless, skip this test with a helpful message.

  • skip_if_remote - like the above, but skip if testing podman-remote

  • random_string - returns a pseudorandom alphanumeric string

Test files are of the form NNN-name.bats where NNN is a three-digit number. Please preserve this convention, it simplifies viewing the directory and understanding test order. In particular, 00x tests should be reserved for a first-pass fail-fast subset of tests:

bats test/system/00*.bats || exit 1
bats test/system

...the goal being to provide quick feedback on catastrophic failures without having to wait for the entire test suite.

Running tests

To run the tests locally in your sandbox, you can use one of these methods:

  • make;PODMAN=./bin/podman bats ./test/system/070-build.bats # runs just the specified test
  • make;PODMAN=./bin/podman bats ./test/system # runs all
  • make;PODMAN=./bin/podman NETWORK_BACKEND=netavark bats ./test/system # Assert & enable netavark testing

To test as root:

  • $ PODMAN=./bin/podman sudo --preserve-env=PODMAN bats test/system

Analyzing test failures

The top priority for this scheme is to make it easy to diagnose what went wrong. To that end, podman_run always logs all invoked commands, their output and exit codes. In a normal run you will never see this, but BATS will display it on failure. The goal here is to give you everything you need to diagnose without having to rerun tests.

The is comparison function is designed to emit useful diagnostics, in particular, the actual and expected strings. Please do not use the horrible BATS standard of [ x = y ]; that's nearly useless for tracking down failures.

If the above are not enough to help you track down a failure:

Debugging tests

Some functions have dprint statements. To see the output of these, set PODMAN_TEST_DEBUG="funcname" where funcname is the name of the function or perhaps just a substring.

Requirements

  • bats
  • jq
  • skopeo
  • nmap-ncat
  • httpd-tools
  • openssl
  • socat
  • buildah
  • gnupg

Further Details

TBD. For now, look in helpers.bash; each helper function has (what are intended to be) helpful header comments. For even more examples, see and/or run helpers.t; that's a regression test and provides a thorough set of examples of how the helpers work.
