Add Fedora 21 Beaker node #10

dfarrell07 · 2015-01-16T21:08:46Z

Fedora 21 is a critical OS to test against, just below CentOS 7. Unfortunately, the Chef folks haven't released a Vagrant base box for it yet. I raised an issue to get the process started, but I have a good bit of learning to do before I could do much to contribute to the creation effort. This TODO might take a while to complete.

A short-term, fairly undesirable fix is to use one of the very-unofficial Fedora 21 boxes on Vagrantcloud. I'm not thrilled about this for all the reasons, but it's better than not testing Fedora 21 at all.

dfarrell07 · 2015-01-16T21:32:32Z

Trying to use the F21 box linked above, I'm seeing the following error:

Exited: 1

With this config file:

    hypervisor: vagrant

CONFIG:

  type: foss

dfarrell07 · 2015-01-19T18:05:09Z

Narrowed down the scope of the error described above.

The Beaker config above produced the following Vagrantfile:

Vagrant.configure("2") do |c|
  c.vm.define 'fedora-21' do |v|
    v.vm.hostname = 'fedora-21'
    v.vm.box = 'TFDuesing/Fedora-21'
    v.vm.box_url = 'https://vagrantcloud.com/TFDuesing/boxes/Fedora-21'
    v.vm.box_check_update = 'true'
    v.vm.network :private_network, ip: "10.255.118.215", :netmask => "255.255.0.0", :mac => "0800278DA5F2"
    v.vm.provider :virtualbox do |vb|
      vb.customize ['modifyvm', :id, '--memory', '1024']
    end
  end
end

Which I copied into a new directory, then vagrant up'd.

A sudo yum install -y puppet in the resulting box works as expected. However, parsing through the output produce by Beaker, I noticed that it doesn't install Puppet from the default repos. Instead, it uses rpm -q --quiet puppetlabs-release || rpm -ivh http://yum.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs-release-el-7.noarch.rpm and then yum install -y puppet.

Repeating those two commands on a fresh box produced from the Vagrantfile above was enough to reproduce the error:

Error: Package: 1:ruby-shadow-2.2.0-2.el7.x86_64 (puppetlabs-deps)
           Requires: libruby.so.2.0()(64bit)
 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

dfarrell07 · 2015-01-19T18:15:47Z

Even cleaner, I can reproduce the error with the following.

Add the chef/fedora-21 Vagrant box described here.

wget http://opscode-vm-bento.s3.amazonaws.com/vagrant/virtualbox/opscode_fedora-21_chef-provisionerless.box
vagrant box add chef/fedora-21 opscode_fedora-21_chef-provisionerless.box

Create a working directory and this Vagrantfile

VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION = "2"

Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config|
  config.vm.box = "chef/fedora-21"
  config.vm.provision "shell", inline: "rpm -ivh http://yum.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs-release-el-7.noarch.rpm"
  config.vm.provision "shell", inline: "yum install -y puppet"
end

vagrant up

dfarrell07 · 2015-01-19T18:22:26Z

Reading the relevant Puppet docs, it seems plausible that this error is caused by Beaker attempting to use the CentOS/RHEL 7 Puppet repo, instead of the Fedora one. Note that there isn't a Fedora 21 RPM at the URL bumped from F20.

http://yum.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs-release-fedora-21.noarch.rpm

Not Found

The requested URL /puppetlabs-release-fedora-21.noarch.rpm was not found on this server.

dfarrell07 · 2015-01-19T18:28:24Z

Using bundle exec rake fedora to run against F20, I see Beaker issuing the same RPM command described above for F21.

fedora-20 13:25:21$ rpm -q --quiet puppetlabs-release || rpm -ivh http://yum.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs-release-el-7.noarch.rpm

For whatever reason, this doesn't cause yum install -y puppet to fail.

dfarrell07 · 2015-01-19T18:46:06Z

This Beaker node file

Note that the 404 is expected, but it's good confirmation to see that the URL is determined by the platform line in the Beaker node description.

dfarrell07 · 2015-01-19T18:55:48Z

Changing the platform line to point at F20, and therefore a working RPM URL, gets things mostly working for F21. I'm seeing one Beaker test failure (at least they are running).

Failures:

  1) opendaylight class default parameters Service "opendaylight" should be enabled
     On host ``
     Failure/Error: it { is_expected.to be_enabled }

dfarrell07 · 2015-01-19T19:56:01Z

The issue is that as of Fedora 21, systemctl --plain list-dependencies outputs a green or red (stdout, stderr) unicode circle (9679) and a space before the service name. The grep command executed by serverspec matches against the beginning of the line, which was fine for F20 without the prepended unicode but fails for F21, even if the service is enabled.

[vagrant@localhost ~]$ systemctl --plain list-dependencies runlevel3.target | grep 'opendaylight.service$'

Went over to the serverspec repo with the intention of filing a bug to move them to the is-enabled systemd interface. However, it seems that the new-ish versions of serverspec have already made the switch.

Looking at the commit that cut the 1.16.0 release, which is the one Bundler is giving me, I see the relevant (erroneous) lines.

[~/serverspec]$ git checkout -b systemd_f21 5a38362 
[~/serverspec]$ grep -rniI "list-d" *

spec/nixos/service_spec.rb:16:  its(:command) { should eq "systemctl --plain list-dependencies multi-user.target | grep 'sshd.service$'" }

spec/redhat7/service_spec.rb:16:  its(:command) { should eq "systemctl --plain list-dependencies runlevel4.target | grep '^sshd.service$'" }

Looking at the latest version, they are gone.

Now I'm in a bit of a dependency hell.

I need a newer version of serverspec to get the systemd fix to make F21 work. However, when I try to request a newer version from Bunlder (Gemfile below) it helpfully informs me of the following conflict:

dfarrell07 · 2015-01-19T22:59:56Z

Found a pull request to update the version of rspec used by rspec-puppet. If this gets merged, my issues should be solved. I posted there to let them know about the issues with Beaker testing against F21 that dep issue is causing.

dfarrell07 · 2015-01-19T23:23:04Z

Someone forked rspec-puppet and only updated the version of rspec required. Updating my Gemfile to point at that fork, deleting Gemfile.lock and re-running bundle install gave me a version of serverspec with the F21 systemd fix I need.
