original commit message follows:
- - -
The underlying issue causing https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/2037
is that the final measurement of a web_connectivity run is not
submitted because the context expires while we're submitting it
in most cases.
In turn, this happens because a web_connectivity measurement is not
interrupted midway, since it's not interruptible. This choice is sound
in that we want to finish an in progress measurement. And this is
also why the max_runtime is never 100% accurate.
Yet, once the context is expired, the subsequent submission fails.
Fix the issue by using three contexts. The root context is the one that
the user controls. The measurement context is the one tied to the max
runtime. The submit context is tied to the max runtime plus extra slack
time to ensure we submit the measurement.
With this diff applied, I run the mobile app a couple of times and did
not notice any unsubmitted measurements. Still, more testing is also
probably required to further ensure we've properly fixed.
I'm committing this diff in the release/3.14 branch but we WILL also
need to forward port it into the master branch.
While there, since pkg/oonimkall is a large package, let us create
a doc.go file for keeping the docs.
Conflicts:
pkg/oonimkall/task.go
The oonimkall package is only public for technical reasons. We
cannot use `go mobile` on a private package. We consider oonimkall
our private interface to our mobile apps, thus we reserve the
right to change its API without bumping the major number.
We'll bump the major number in case of breaking changes in the
cmd/ooniprobe CLI interface, or in case of other major improvements
that significantly modify cmd/ooniprobe.
* [forwardport] fix(oonimkall): make logger used by tasks unit testable (#623)

* [forwardport] feat(oonimkall): improve taskEmitter testability (#624)
This diff forward ports 3e0f01a389c1f4cdd7878ec151aff91870a0bdff.
1. rename eventemitter{,_test}.go => taskemitter{,_test}.go because
the new name is more proper after we merged the internal/task package
inside of the oonimkall package;
2. rename runner.go's `run` function to `runTask`;
3. modify `runTask` to use the new `taskEmitterUsingChan` abstraction
on which we will spend more works in a later point of this list;
4. introduce `runTaskWithEmitter` factory that is called by `runTask`
and allows us to more easily write unit tests;
5. acknowledge that `runner` was not using its `out` field;
6. use the new `taskEmitterWrapper` in `newRunner`;
7. acknowledge that `runnerCallbacks` could use a generic
`taskEmitter` as field type rather than a specific type;
8. rewrite tests to use `runTaskWithEmitter` which leads to
simpler code that does not require a goroutine;
9. acknowledge that the code has been ignoring the `DisabledEvents`
settings for quite some time, so stop supporting it;
10. refactor the `taskEmitter` implementation to be like:
1. we still have the `taskEmitter` interface;
2. `taskEmitterUsingChan` wraps the channel and allows for
emitting events using the channel;
3. `taskEmitterUsingChan` owns an `eof` channel that is
closed by `Close` (which is idempotent) and signals we
should be stop emitting;
4. make sure `runTask` creates a `taskEmitterUsingChan`
and calls its `Close` method when done;
5. completely remove the code for disabling events
since the code was actually ignoring the stting;
6. add a `taskEmitterWrapper` that adds common functions
for emitting events to _any_ `taskWrapper`;
7. write unit tests for `taskEmitterUsingChan` and
for `taskEmitterWrapper`;
11. acknowledge that the abstraction we need for testing is
actually a thread-safe thing that collects events into a
vector containing events and refactor all tests accordingly.

* [forwardport] refactor(oonimkall): make the runner unit-testable (#625)

This diff forward ports 35dd0e3788b8fa99c541452bbb5e0ae4871239e1.
Forward porting note: compared to 35dd0e3788b8fa99c541452bbb5e0ae4871239e1,
the diff I'm committing here is slightly different. In `master` we do not
have the case where a measurement fails and a measurement is returned, thus
I needed to adapt the test to become like this:
```diff

* [forwardport] refactor(oonimkall): merge files, use proper names, zap unneeded integration tests (#627)
This diff forward ports f894427d24edc9a03fc78306d0093e7b51c46c25.
Forward porting note: this diff is slightly different from the original
mentioned above because it carries forward changes mentioned in the
previous diff caused by a different way of handling a failed measurement
in the master branch compared to the release/3.11 branch.
Move everything that looked like "task's model" inside of the
taskmodel.go file, for consistency.
Make sure it's clear some variables are event types.
Rename the concrete `runner` as `runnerForTask`.
Also, remove now-unnecessary (and flaky!) integration tests
for the `runnerForTask` type.
While there, notice there were wrong URLs that were generated
during the probe-engine => probe-cli move and fix them.

* [forwardport] refactor(oonimkall): we can simplify StartTask tests (#628)
This diff forward ports dcf2986c2032d8185d58d24130a7f2c2d61ef2fb.
* refactor(oonimkall): we can simplify StartTask tests
We have enough checks for runnerForTask. So we do not need to
duplicate them when checking for StartTask.
While there, refactor how we start tasks to remove the need for
extra runner functions.
This is the objective I wanted to achieve for oonimkall:
1. less duplicate tests, and
2. more unit tests (which are less flaky)
At this point, we're basically done (pending forwardporting to
master) with https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1903.
* fix(oonimkall): TestStartTaskGood shouldn't cancel the test
This creates a race condition where the test may fail if we cannot
complete the whole "Example" test in less than one second.
This should explain the build failures I've seen so far and why
I didn't see those failures when running locally.
1. add eof channel to event emitter and use this channel as signal
that we shouldn't be sending anymore instead of using a pattern where
we use a timer to decide sending has timed out (because we're using
a buffered channel, it is still possible for some evetns to end up
in the channel if there is space, but this is not a concern, because
the events will be deleted when the channel itself is gone);
2. refactor all tests where we assumed the output channel was closed
to actually use a parallel "eof" channel and use it as signal we
should not be sending anymore (not strictly required but still the
right thing to do in terms of using consistent patterns);
3. modify how we construct a runner so that it passes to the
event emitter an "eof" channel and closes this channel when the
main goroutine running the task is terminating;
4. modify the task to signal events such as "task goroutine started"
and "task goroutine stopped" using channels, which helps to write
much more correct tests;
5. take advantage of the previous change to improve the test that
ensures we're not blocking for a small number of events and also
improve the name of such a test to reflect what it's testing.
The related issue in term of fixing the channel usage pattern is
https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1438.
Regarding improving testability, instead, the correct reference
issue is https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1903.
There are possibly more changes to apply here to improve this package
and its testability, but let's land this diff first and then see
how much time is left for further improvements.
I've run unit and integration tests with `-race` locally.
This diff will need to be backported to `release/3.11`.
This diff forward ports 90bf0629b957c912a5a6f3bb6c98ad3abb5a2ff6 to `master`.
If we close the channel to signal the end of a task we may panic
when some background goroutine tries to post on the channel.
This bug is rare but may happen.
See for example https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1438.
How can we improve?
First, let us add a timeout when sending to the channel. Given that
the channel is buffered and we have a generous timeout (1/4 of a
second), it's unlikely we will really block. But, in the event in
which a late message appears, we'll eventually _unblock_ when
sending with a timeout. So, now we don't have to worry anymore
about leaking forever a goroutine.
Then, let us change the protocol with which we signal that a task
is done. We used to close the channel. Now, instead we just
synchronously post a nil on the channel when done.
In turn, we interpret this nil to mean that the task is done when
we receive messages.
The _main_ different with respect to before is that now we are
asking the consumer of our API to drain the channel. Because
before we had a blocking channel, it seems to me we were already
requiring the consumer of the API to do that. Which means, I think
in practical terms it did not change much.
Finally, acknowledge that we don't need a specific state variable
to tell us we're done and simplify a little bit the API by
just making isRunning private and using the "we're done" signal
to determine whether we've stopped running the task.
All these changes should be enough to close https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1438.
* refactor(atomicx): move outside the engine package
After merging probe-engine into probe-cli, my impression is that we have
too much unnecessary nesting of packages in this repository.
The idea of this commit and of a bunch of following commits will instead
be to reduce the nesting and simplify the structure.
While there, improve the documentation.
* fix: always use the atomicx package
For consistency, never use sync/atomic and always use ./internal/atomicx
so we can just grep and make sure we're not risking to crash if we make
a subtle mistake on a 32 bit platform.
While there, mention in the contributing guidelines that we want to
always prefer the ./internal/atomicx package over sync/atomic.
* fix(atomicx): remove unnecessary constructor
We don't need a constructor here. The default constructed `&Int64{}`
instance is already usable and the constructor does not add anything to
what we are doing, rather it just creates extra confusion.
* cleanup(atomicx): we are not using Float64
Because atomicx.Float64 is unused, we can safely zap it.
* cleanup(atomicx): simplify impl and improve tests
We can simplify the implementation by using defer and by letting
the Load() method call Add(0).
We can improve tests by making many goroutines updated the
atomic int64 value concurrently.
* refactor(fsx): can live in the ./internal pkg
Let us reduce the amount of nesting. While there, ensure that the
package only exports the bare minimum, and improve the documentation
of the tests, to ease reading the code.
* refactor: move runtimex to ./internal
* refactor: move shellx into the ./internal package
While there, remove unnecessary dependency between packages.
While there, specify in the contributing guidelines that
one should use x/sys/execabs instead of os/exec.
* refactor: move ooapi into the ./internal pkg
* refactor(humanize): move to ./internal and better docs
* refactor: move platform to ./internal
* refactor(randx): move to ./internal
* refactor(multierror): move into the ./internal pkg
* refactor(kvstore): all kvstores in ./internal
Rather than having part of the kvstore inside ./internal/engine/kvstore
and part in ./internal/engine/kvstore.go, let us put every piece of code
that is kvstore related into the ./internal/kvstore package.
* fix(kvstore): always return ErrNoSuchKey on Get() error
It should help to use the kvstore everywhere removing all the
copies that are lingering around the tree.
* sessionresolver: make KVStore mandatory
Simplifies implementation. While there, use the ./internal/kvstore
package rather than having our private implementation.
* fix(ooapi): use the ./internal/kvstore package
* fix(platform): better documentation
* refactor: start building an Android package
Part of https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1335.
This seems also a good moment to move some packages out of the
engine, e.g., oonimkall. This package, for example, is a consumer
of the engine, so it makes sense it's not _inside_ it.
* fix: committed some stuff I didn't need to commit
* fix: oonimkall needs to be public to build
The side effect is that we will probably need to bump the major
version number every time we change one of these APIs.
(We can also of course choose to violate the basic guidelines of Go
software, but I believe this is bad form.)
I have no problem in bumping the major quite frequently and in
any case this monorepo solution is convinving me more than continuing
to keep a split between engine and cli. The need to embed assets to
make the probe more reliable trumps the negative effects of having to
~frequently bump major because we expose a public API.
* fix: let's not forget about libooniffi
Honestly, I don't know what to do with this library. I added it
to provide a drop in replacement for MK but I have no idea whether
it's used and useful. I would not feel comfortable exposing it,
unlike oonimkall, since we're not using it.
It may be that the right thing to do here is just to delete the
package and reduce the amount of code we're maintaining?
* woops, we're still missing the publish android script
* fix(publish-android.bash): add proper API key
* ouch fix another place where the name changed
