Python's platform.system() outputs 'Linux', and to use it is tempting. Sadly, that's wrong, because it reflects the host's idea of the target system, not the execution context's, so replace it with straight 'linux' if the distro is known, or, failing that, the output of uname -s.
Even with --interactive=[true|auto], there's no point in trying to read /etc/os-release interactively, so don't do that. Most notably, this commit keeps the property method from spilling /etc/os-release's content over the terminal.
This commit introduces two new types, Input and InputMode. They replace the more error-prone special strings cmd_input could be used with. InputMode is an Enum, and Input can be either IntputMode, a string or None.
Whether or not the CallContext.interactive property should be True or False, and hence, a call should be processed interactively, depends on multiple factors, constituting matrix of options with multiple preferences.
--interactive is the application default and can be true, false,
or auto
- A call can be explicitly invoked as interactive, non-interactive
or auto via the cmd_input parameter to ExecContext.run()
This commit adds more "mode:" options to make the latter more explicit. It takes preference over the global --interactive parameter: Global --interactive is only given a chance to decide if cmd_input is None (default) or mode:opt-interactive.
This commit also fixes a bug: --interactive is ignored because the interactive argument passed to ExecContext's constructor is ignored later on in calls to the wrapped _run() and _sudo() methods.
Since commit 02697af5, ExecContext.run() returns bytes for stdout and stderr and fixes that in calling code. The thing it did not fix was the code calling run_cmd(), which also made return bytes. This commit catches up on that.
Distro's sudo() and run() wrappers are not flagged async. It still works, because throughout jw-pkg all callers expect a coroutine return value, but flagging them as async makes the return value obvious.
Move the code of SSHClientInternal and SSCClientCmd into lib.ec.ssh, as "Paramiko" and "Exec", respectively. This makes the class layout a little more modular, and along the way fixes a bug where SSHClientInternal could be instantiated but was unusable (if the Paramiko is not installed).
ExecContext's .sudo() omits many of run()'s parameters, and this commit adds them. To avoid redundancy around repeating and massaging the long parameter list of both functions and their return values, it also adds some deeper changes:
- Make run(), _run(), sudo() and _sudo() always return instances of
Result. Before it was allowed to return a triplet of stdout,
stderr, and exit status.
- Have ExecContext stay out of the business of decoding the result
entirely. Result provides a convenience method .decode()
operating on stdout and stderr and leaves the decision to the
caller.
This entails miniscule adaptations in calling code, namely in
App.os_release, util.get_profile_env() and CmdListRepos._run().
- Wrap the _run() and _sudo() callbacks in a context manager object
of type CallContext to avoid code duplication.
- Consistently name the first argument to run(), _run(), sudo() and
_sudo() "cmd", not "args". The latter suggests that the caller is
omitting the executable, which is not the case.
Don't open and parse /etc/os-release with Python built-in functions. Spawn "cat /etc/os-release" as a subprocess and capture the output for parsing instead. The obvious advantage is that this also works with a remote shell.
Use the AsyncRunner class introduced in the previous commit to add a call_async() method, allowing to run async functions from sync functions by spawning an extra event loop.
Add class AsyncRunner. This is a wrapper around the ceremony needed to spawn an extra event loop in a synchronous function which wants to call an async function.
Guido van Rossum considers it bad design that such a function exists in the first place. While that may be true in the long run also for jw-pkg, at this point I'm unwilling to flag every lazyly initialized App property as async. It's not clear, yet, which will be async and which not, and I dread the churn. So I will accept this as a minimally invasive helper for now. When the API has stabilized, a design without it may be better.
Remove the key_filename parameter from the call to Paramiko's connect(). It's user-dependent, and the current DevOps implementation relies on having a SSH_AUTH_SOCK in the environment, anyway.
Take a positional uri argument to the constructor of ExecContext, forcing SSHClient to follow suit. The latter was instantiated with a hostname as only argument up to now, which still works as a special case of an uri.
Align the prototype of SSHClient.run_cmd() to ExecContext.run(). This is a push towards making the SSHClient code an ExceContext, too. Some arguments still log a warning or outright raise NotImplementedError.
CmdInfo._expand_macros() raises a custom exception during exception handling. Replace that by logging some details and raising the original exception to keep the stack trace readable.
In a push to eventually merge the classes, somewhat align the command-line API of CmdRequiredOsPkg to the one of BaseCmdPkgRelations by using dependency flavours as mandatory, first argument.
To support the pkg-install-testbuild-deps target, a selector is needed listing all prerequisites to be installed except the project under test. --hide-self should be useful for that.
Add a function pkg_relations_list(), doing pretty much the same as pkg_relations(), but taking individual arguments instead of an argparse.Namespace args argument, in order to provide the functionality to derived classes.
In commands taking lists of packages, namely install, delete and pkg_files, don't bother asking the backend. Uniformly log a warning and return successfully.
Add support for --syntax to BaseCmdPkgRelations.pkg_relations(), and default to 'semver', i.e. the current state of affairs. If that's changed to 'debian', relations declared in project.conf as
should include all packages required by flavour devel, because during the release process, -devel and -run packages are both installed, and installing the -devel package is only possible if its dependencies are installed.
