- Update protobuf to v23.4, to fix the cstdint error on Arch Linux, and
make some related changes:
- Silence additional compiler warnings for the new protobuf
- Update absl to 20230125.3, to support the protobuf update, and make
some related changes:
- Silence additional compiler warnings for the new protobuf
- Replace GOOGLE_CHECK_OK with ABSL_CHECK_OK
- Replace GUARDED_BY with ABSL_GUARDED_BY
- Update other instances of cstdint missing in our own code
- Always pull the latest docker images, to avoid stale results when your
workstation has pulled an older image at the same label
All HTTP-based tests now use an embedded test server instead of
httpbin.org, which makes them much faster and more reliable.
These more reliable tests also exposed some issues that began recently
with PR #1201. HttpFile's Flush() semantics were different than those
documented for files in general. Flush() used to close the file for
uploading, so that no further writes were allowed, but the documentation
stated that it would only flush data to its destination. PR #1201
brought HttpFile's Flush() in line with the docs, but gave us no way to
terminate a chunked upload.
This adds a new method to File called CloseForWriting(), which
terminates a chunked upload for HttpFile. The only other implementation
that does anything is UdpFile, which uses the socket library function
shutdown() to terminate writes while allowing reads.
This also tweaks HttpFile::CloseWithStatus() so that it will not
generate an error if the file is closed before the HTTP response is
written to the download cache.
This modifies the test HttpFileTest.MultipleWrites so that the file is
Flushed after each chunk. This adds test coverage for the changes
introduced in PR #1201.
Fixes#1224 (missing test coverage for HttpFile::Flush)
There are a lot of changes in this first phase, because there was a
lot of infrastructure required to get some meaningful amount of
porting done. Future PRs should be simpler.
<b>Summary of changes:</b><details>
- Remove old deps:
- boringssl (replaced with mbedtls, lighter, easier to build)
- gflags (replaced with absl::flags)
- Chromium build tools
- New deps to replace parts of Chromium base:
- abseil-cpp
- glog
- nlohmann::json (for tests only)
- Submodules, updates, and CMake build rules for third-party
libraries:
- curl
- gmock/gtest
- Ported internal libraries and their tests by removing Chromium deps
and adding CMake build rules:
- file (now using C++17 filesystem APIs)
- license_notice
- status
- version
- Test improvements
- Removed file tests that can never be re-enabled
- Re-enabled all other disabled file tests
- Debug JSON values when HTTP tests fail
- Fixed chunked-encoding issues in HTTP tests
- Updated and refactored Dockerfiles testing
- All docker files working, with OS versions updated to meet the
new tool requirements
- Local docker builds no longer write files to your working
directory as root
- Local docker builds can now be run in parallel without clobbering
each others' build outputs
- DEBUG=1 can drop you into an interactive shell when a docker
build fails
- Updated and heavily refactored workflows and Dockerfiles
- All docker files now tested in parallel on GitHub, speeding up CI
- All common workflow components broken out and using workflow_call
instead of custom actions
- Self-hosted runners now optional, to make testing easier on forks
- CMake porting works-in-process can now be fully tested on GitHub
- Building ported libraries and passing ported tests on all three
platforms!
- CI hacks for macOS removed, now testing on macos-latest!
- Python2 no longer required! (Only Python3)
- Using strict build flags, treating all warnings as errors.
