custodian.git - A distributed protocol tester.

Age	Commit message (Collapse)	Author
2015-12-18	Removed references and support for beanstalkd.	Steve Kemp
	The beanstalkd queue used to be used in the past, and we later added support for Redis via a simple abstraction layer. But now we've no longer tested and used beanstalkd for over a year, and the client-libraries are no longer available as native Debian packages. With that in mind we've excised the code, although left the abstraction-class in-place.
2015-11-16	Ensure we strip leading/trailing space from alerts.	Steve Kemp
	This allows our configuration file `/etc/custodian/custodian.cfg` to contain something like this, without errors; alerter = file , redis
2015-04-30	If a test is skipped we don't need to sleep.	Steve Kemp
	If a test fails then we sleep for a small amount of time, two seconds by default, before repeating it. This delay is not required for tests that explicitly disable themselves.
2015-04-28	Revert the last commit - syslog gives us timestamps	Steve Kemp

2015-04-28	Show the date/time as well as logged messages.	Steve Kemp

2015-04-28	Removed temporary debugging puts	Steve Kemp

2015-04-24	Use the expanded version of our return-codes.	Steve Kemp
	Rather than showing "2, 4, etc" we use the expansion routine to show TEST_FAILED, TEST_PASSED, etc. This reads more neatly.
2015-04-16	Work with the new return-type from tests.	Steve Kemp
	Now tests will no longe return "true" or "false", instead they will return "TEST_FAILED" or "TEST_PASSED". There is a third return-value of "TEST_SKIPPED" which essentially ignores a test.
2015-03-10	Log the failure-reason on the temporary-fails.	Steve Kemp

2015-03-09	Removed trailing whitespace from the code	Steve Kemp

2015-03-09	Remove spaces inside blocks.	Steve Kemp

2015-03-09	Whitespace fixups.	Steve Kemp
	These were all identified and suggested by rubocop.
2015-03-09	Removed spaces inside parenthesis.	Steve Kemp

2015-03-09	Prefer single-quotes when you don't need interpolation.	Steve Kemp
	So "foo" is less good than 'foo'.
2015-03-09	Avoid redudent returns.	Steve Kemp
	The last expression of a method is the return value. So: def foo; false ; end Is the same as: def foo; return false; end
2015-03-09	Don't use parenthesis aroudn conditions in an if.	Steve Kemp

2015-03-09	Do not use parentheses for method calls with no arguments.	Steve Kemp
	This is neater. Flagged by rubocop
2015-03-09	Avoid redundent ".to_s" methods.	Steve Kemp
	These are not required if the argument is string already, or has a _to_s method which will be automatically invoked by magic.
2015-03-04	Updated comments and code-order. No functional change.	Steve Kemp

2015-03-04	Don't use a logger.	Steve Kemp
	Instead we run quietly if nothing was output, and run verbosely if we see "--verbose".
2015-02-18	Updated comments for better accuracy.	Steve Kemp

2015-02-18	Removed diagnostic printing.	Steve Kemp

2015-02-17	Now we work with multiple implementations.	Steve Kemp

2015-02-17	Changed the way that we process a single job.	Steve Kemp
	We now work on the assumption that a single "job", pulled from the queue, might contain multiple "test" objects. These are the instances of the protocol-testers which we actually execute. This is part of #9558.
2015-02-05	More simplification - don't pass state around.	Steve Kemp
	Rather than passing our settings-object around, as well as specific settings that are read from it, just pass the object. The worker can read the settings directly if/when it needs to.
2015-01-21	Read the queue-type from the settings-object.	Steve Kemp
	This replaces redis as a hard-wired default.
2015-01-19	Updated to use our queue-abstraction.	Steve Kemp
	This means we can queue/dequeue to either Redis or Beanstalkd.
2013-08-01	Updated the cool-off period to work after every failed test, bar the	Patrick J Cherry
	last one.
2013-05-15	Use log_message() not puts().	Steve Kemp

2013-05-14	We only sleep between tests if we saw a failure.	Steve Kemp

2013-05-14	Ensure repeat_count and sleep values are integers.	Steve Kemp

2013-05-14	Allow retry-behaviour to be tweaked.	Steve Kemp
	We can now sleep between retesting, and we configure the number of repeats via the configuration file.
2013-05-14	Comment update.	Steve Kemp

2013-04-23	The name of the beanstalkd tube is passed into the constructor now.	Steve Kemp

2013-01-24	Updated to log duration of test-runs with our alerters, if they	Steve Kemp
	implement a "duration" method.
2012-12-12	The dequeuing process passes the settings to the wroker.	Steve Kemp

2012-11-30	Hard-wire repeat for the moment. It'll come from the configuration	Steve Kemp
	file shortly.
2012-11-26	Updated so that each alert-type has its dedicated alert-target.	Steve Kemp

2012-11-26	Allow multiple alerters.	Steve Kemp

2012-11-26	Explicitly watch a "tube" - a named queue - to avoid stomping on	Steve Kemp
	anything else running under beanstalkd.
2012-11-24	Renamed 'custodian/protocoltest.rb' -> 'custodian/protocoltests.rb' to ↵	Steve Kemp
	match what we did with the alerts.
2012-11-24	Set the alerter-target, if we can find one.	Steve Kemp

2012-11-24	Use the factory-method to instantiate an alerting method.	Steve Kemp

2012-11-24	Move the protocol-test includes into a single file to avoid duplication.	Steve Kemp

2012-11-24	Simplify test-execution logic, and count the test-runs from 1 rather than ↵	Steve Kemp
	zero.
2012-11-24	Invert the success/failure of tests if appropriate.	Steve Kemp

2012-11-23	Updated the alerter to be in the Custodian name-space, and the worker	Steve Kemp
	to invoke it from that. Currently alerts are disabled. TODO: Fix this.
2012-11-22	Removed json library - we don't need/use it.	Steve Kemp

2012-11-22	Updated to use the new string-body from jobs, and the new factory to ↵	Steve Kemp
	generate tests.
2012-11-22	Moved the worker into the custodian namespace.	Steve Kemp
