Subject: [PATCH] [RFC] travis-ci: remove bogus 'pyenv' in the Linux jobs
Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2020 18:12:25 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200721161225.6769-1-szeder.dev@gmail.com> (raw)
In our test suite, when 'git p4' invokes a Git command as a
subprocesses, then it should run the 'git' binary we are testing.
Unfortunately, this is not the case in the 'linux-clang' and
'linux-gcc' jobs on Travis CI, where 'git p4' runs the system
'/usr/bin/git' instead.
Travis CI's default Linux image includes 'pyenv', and all Python
invocations that involve PATH lookup go through 'pyenv', e.g. our
'PYTHON_PATH=$(which python3)' sets '/opt/pyenv/shims/python3' as
PYTHON_PATH, which in turn will invoke '/usr/bin/python3'. Alas, the
'pyenv' version included in this image is buggy, and prepends the
directory containing the Python binary to PATH even if that is a
system directory already in PATH near the end. Consequently, 'git p4'
in those jobs ends up with its PATH starting with '/usr/bin', and then
runs '/usr/bin/git'.
So remove 'pyenv' in Travis CI's Linux jobs to prevet it from
interfering with our 'git p4' tests.

Notes:
This issue triggered test failures in all 'git p4' test scripts in the
recent GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_HASH=sha256 test runs, because the system Git
doesn't understand the 'objectformat' extension, e.g.:
https://travis-ci.org/github/git/git/jobs/710159470#L3267
This is not an issue in Travis CI's macOS jobs or on Azure Pipelines,
because they don't use 'pyenv'.
However, perhaps removing 'pyenv' is not the best solution here.
We set PYTHON_PATH in 'ci/lib.sh', which is sourced at the beginning
of (almost) all of our CI scripts. Consequently, in these jobs we
first run 'ci/install-dependencies.sh', which sources 'ci/lib.sh',
assigns PYTHON_PATH=/opt/pyenv/shims/python3 (which is never used),
and removes 'pyenv', and then run 'ci/run-build-and-test.sh', which
sources 'ci/lib.sh' and assigns PYTHON_PATH=/usr/bin/python3 (which is
then used in the build process to set 'pit p4's shebang line). Not
really nice, is it.
Alternatively, we could avoid the PATH lookup and thus the bogus
'pyenv' by explicitly using '/usr/bin/python{2,3}'. The Linux images
in both Travis CI and Azure Pipelines are standard Ubuntu images, so I
think we can safely rely on these Python paths.
