[01:54] <davecheney> wallyworld: can you get to launchpad atm ?
[01:55] * wallyworld checks
[01:55] <wallyworld> davecheney: appears ok, what error are you seeing?
[01:55] <davecheney> https://launchpad.net/juju-core times out
[01:55] <wallyworld> works quickly for me
[01:56] <wallyworld> maybe they were doing a deployment?
[01:56] <wallyworld> still broken?
[01:56] <davecheney> yup
[01:56] <davecheney> trying from another site
[01:56] <davecheney> oh, finally
[01:56] <wallyworld> good luck
[01:56] <wallyworld> \o/
[01:56] <davecheney> launchpad is slow as fuck for me most days
[01:56] <davecheney> but this was unusually lethargic
[01:57] <wallyworld> it's not bad for me
[01:57] <wallyworld> there's been a lot of work into performance improvements over the last 12 months
[01:57] <davecheney> what times to they schedule deployments ?
[01:57] <wallyworld> if you have any particular pages that are slow, let me know and i'll look into it
[01:58] <davecheney> everythign is slow for me
[01:58] <wallyworld> no down time deployments are done as needed, and should be transparent
[01:58] <davecheney> 2-5 second page loag times
[01:58] <davecheney> multiple locations
[01:58] <davecheney> multiple computers
[01:58] <wallyworld> fast down time deployments are done 3 times a day and result in about a 2 second outage
[01:58] <wallyworld> juju-core just loaded for me in 1 second
[01:59] <wallyworld> cold
[01:59] <wallyworld> maybe your connection has higher latency to the data centres?
[01:59] <davecheney> https://launchpad.net/juju-core/+milestone/1.9.3 4 seconds
[01:59] <wallyworld> 0.52 for me
[02:00] <davecheney> i'm on iinet, your on tpg
[02:00] <wallyworld> yeah
[02:00] <davecheney> neither of those are top shelf isps
[02:00] <wallyworld> nope
[02:00] <davecheney> but this happens for me from different locations
[02:00] <wallyworld> but cheap :-)
[02:00] <davecheney> different computers
[02:00] <davecheney> was in melbourne over the weekend on optus cable
[02:00] <davecheney> same
[02:00] <wallyworld> hmmm. i can't easily explain the difference
[02:00] <davecheney> don't worry
[02:01] <davecheney> i'm used to it
[02:01] <wallyworld> :-(
[02:01] <wallyworld> makes it hard to work efficiently
[02:01] <davecheney> yup
[02:02] <wallyworld> the guys are focused on performance issues, but they do need more than one data sample to be able to do anything concrete
[02:02] <wallyworld> especially if it is not slow across the board
[02:02] <davecheney> who should I complain too ?
[02:02] <wallyworld> Purple squad is on maintenance and hang out in #launchpad-dev - they are very responsive
[02:03] <wallyworld> another option is to go to a page on qastaging.launchpad.net and turn on tracing, i can help you with that if you want
[02:04] <wallyworld> qastaging is slower than prod, but it may show some issues worth looking at
[02:04] <wallyworld> have you checked your latency to the data centre?
[02:04] <davecheney> http://d.pr/KwdU
[02:05] <davecheney> http://d.pr/i/JVOI
[02:05] <davecheney> solid 312ms
[02:06] <davecheney> anyway, it's not your job to debug lp problems
[02:06] <davecheney> thanks for checking
[02:08] <wallyworld> no problems, but it would be nice to sort it out
[02:09] <wallyworld> davecheney: so, out of interest, in the light blue bar, what's the waiting time vs connecting time?
[02:10] <davecheney> connection and ssl neg is in excess of 2.5 seconds on the second screenshot
[02:10] <davecheney> i have no idea how you are negoating faster
[02:10] <davecheney> it's a function of rtt
[02:10] <davecheney> wallyworld: you're using firefox, right ?
[02:11] <wallyworld> davecheney: so, the 1.6s time i gave comes from an ajax info widget on lp, which i think developers get. i also have the connect time like you
[02:11] <davecheney> dunno how you got, 12:59 < wallyworld> 0.52 for me then
[02:12] <wallyworld> my graph says a waiting time of 2.2 seconds, and lp tells it it spent 1.6 seconds processing, so that leaves 0.6 seconds to get the data back to my browser i guess
[02:12] <wallyworld> that 0.52 for +milestone above was also the lp reported processing tim
[02:13] <davecheney> all lies i tell ya!
[02:13] <davecheney> anyway, seriously, i don't care about this
[02:13] <davecheney> slow I can handle, as long as it's not down
[02:14] <wallyworld> fair enough. as a data point then, my connect time (incl ssl) is around 1.5, lp render/processing time is between 0.5 and 1.6, and receiving data to browser takes about 0.3
[05:50] <davecheney> ping https://codereview.appspot.com/6855101/
[05:57] <wallyworld> davecheney: i'd +1 it but i fear i don't know enough to be able to offer anything worthwhile. it looks ok to me though
[05:57] <davecheney> wallyworld: thanks
[05:57] <davecheney> you coudl always dist-upgrade and test it :)
[05:57] <wallyworld> want me to +1 it anyway?
[05:57] <wallyworld> i'm on quantal already
[05:58] <davecheney> do the juju tests pass for you ?
[05:58] <wallyworld> let me test it then
[05:58] <wallyworld> i have not run them, will do so now
[05:58] <wallyworld> i've just been running goose tests
[05:58] <davecheney> go test launchpad.net/juju-core/...
[05:58] <wallyworld> yeah, will do after i merge your branch
[05:58] <davecheney> nah, do it before
[05:58] <davecheney> otherwise you won't know if I fixed anything
[05:59] <wallyworld> ok, need to pull tip first
[05:59] <davecheney> go get -v launchpad.net/juju-core/... will do that for you
[05:59] <davecheney> if you haven't already checked it out
[05:59] <wallyworld> i have the code checked out etc, i'm just used to using bzr
[05:59] <wallyworld> is go get the preferred way?
[06:00] <davecheney> if you have never checkout out the code, it is a fast way to get all the deps
[06:00] <davecheney> if you already have a working copy
[06:00] <davecheney> it'll screw it up royally
[06:00] <wallyworld> yeah, i have everything checked out and built
[06:00] <wallyworld> i used go get right at the start
[06:00] <davecheney> +1
[06:01] <davecheney> i have trunk under a cobzr branch called trunk
[06:01] <davecheney> so whenever I want to know what others are doing i do
[06:01] <davecheney> cobzr switch trunk ; cobzr pull
[06:01] <wallyworld> yeah, me too
[06:02] <davecheney> was, http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~gophers/juju-core/trunk/view/head:/README useful at all ?
[06:02] <wallyworld> i used to use light weight checkouts etc, and bzr switch, but am trying cobzr
[06:02] <wallyworld> it stores the branches in a hidden dir which is both convenient and annoying
[06:03] <wallyworld> davecheney: yes! i used that to get going
[06:03] <davecheney> cool
[06:03] <davecheney> glad it was useful
[06:03] <wallyworld> thanks for writing it :-)
[06:03] <davecheney> np, you can/should/might steal it for goose
[06:03] <wallyworld> yeah
[06:03] <wallyworld> ok, tests fail as expected
[06:03] <wallyworld> now to try your branch
[06:03] <davecheney> huzzah!
[06:03] <davecheney> it'll be whinging about can't find tools
[06:04] <davecheney> no, from memory the actual error is it can't find a suitable ami to 'fake' boot
[06:04] <davecheney> this change fills in the fixtures to make that happen
[06:05] <wallyworld> error was: cannot find image satisfying constraints: error getting instance types: 404 Not Found
[06:05] <davecheney> wallyworld: yup, that is the error
[06:10] <wallyworld> davecheney: tests running but taking a loooooong time - appears hung running the updated test
[06:11] <wallyworld> ie nothing after "ok launchpad.net/juju-core/environs/config 0.373s"
[06:13] <davecheney> presences tests take over 70 seconds on my machine
[06:13] <davecheney> gocheck reports when the test is done, not when it starts
[06:13] <davecheney> check top
[06:13] <davecheney> you should see a number of someting.test processes running
[06:13] <wallyworld> davecheney: what do i look for?
[06:14] <davecheney> a child of a process call go
[06:14] <davecheney> │ ├─bash───go─┬─2*[6g]
[06:14] <davecheney> │ │ ├─container.test─┬─mongod
[06:14] <davecheney> │ │ │ └─2*[{container.test}]
[06:14] <davecheney> │ │ ├─downloader.test───4*[{downloader.test}]
[06:14] <davecheney> │ │ └─9*[{go}]
[06:14] <davecheney> something like this, if pstree is your poison
[06:14] <wallyworld> i have a dummy.test
[06:15] <davecheney> from memory the default test timeout is 120s
[06:15] <davecheney> it'll fail eventually
[06:16] <wallyworld> ok, it's been a fair bit longer
[06:17] <davecheney> gotta go
[06:17] <davecheney> will be online in an hour or so
[06:17] <davecheney> if tests are fucked, email juju-dev with the output
[06:17] <davecheney> or raise an issue
[06:17] <wallyworld> ok, bye
[06:18] <wallyworld> just died now!
[06:22] <wallyworld> but works when run again
[07:47] <TheMue> Morning.
[08:05] <fwereade> mornings
[08:14] <TheMue> fwereade, davecheney: Hiya.
[08:14] <fwereade> TheMue, davecheney, morning
[08:17] <TheMue> Our new https://juju.ubuntu.com really looks good.
[08:24] <davecheney> morning
[08:46] <rogpeppe> fwereade, TheMue: mornin'
[08:46] <TheMue> Hello, Mr Peppe
[08:50] <fwereade> rogpeppe, heyhey
[08:51] <fwereade> rogpeppe, you know the TxnRevno field, that we need to use to start document watches?
[08:51] <rogpeppe> fwereade: yeah
[08:51] <fwereade> rogpeppe, it appears to me as though you can *actually* just pass 0 and it'll still work anyway
[08:51] <rogpeppe> fwereade: except you'll maybe get an event you don't need, right?
[08:51] <fwereade> rogpeppe, I guess that perhaps you'll get an extra event sometimes
[08:52] <rogpeppe> fwereade: maybe you don't care though
[08:52] <fwereade> rogpeppe, it doesn't have any macro-level effects that I am sophisticated enough to detect
[08:53] <rogpeppe> fwereade: it would mean doing strictly more work on restart
[08:53] <fwereade> rogpeppe, yeah, I'm not proposing actually doing it
[08:53] <fwereade> rogpeppe, the actual problem is that I was trying to use it, and doing it wrong, and couldn't see that from my tests
[08:53] <rogpeppe> fwereade: interesting thought though - we might decide the simplicity is worth the network traffic
[08:53] <fwereade> rogpeppe, and I am wondering if there's any way I can reliably goose it into doing the wrong thing
[08:54] <rogpeppe> fwereade: it's just an optimisation, right?
[08:54] <fwereade> rogpeppe, I dunno -- first time I used the API I just bunged 0 in and niemeyer was most unimpressed
[08:54] <rogpeppe> lol
[08:55] <rogpeppe> fwereade: well, the API doesn't actually give you the values - it just tells you that something has changed, no?
[08:55] <fwereade> rogpeppe, I forget
[08:55] <fwereade> rogpeppe, .Id is all I ever look at
[08:55] <rogpeppe> fwereade: if that's true, it's never going to make any difference as long as you get at least the required events
[08:56] <rogpeppe> fwereade: BTW, i've got a couple of CLs you might want to have a glance at if you fancy it. first is: https://codereview.appspot.com/6854107/
[08:56] <fwereade> rogpeppe, indeed -- anyway, I just thought it was interesting
[08:57] <rogpeppe> fwereade: second is https://codereview.appspot.com/6856105/ (which is the last in the series)
[08:57] <rogpeppe> fwereade: in terms of seeing problems, you'd see problems if the revno field was too high
[08:57] <fwereade> rogpeppe, yeah
[08:57] <rogpeppe> fwereade: so you might be able to goose it that way
[08:58] <fwereade> rogpeppe, not from outside I think
[08:58] <rogpeppe> fwereade: aren't you storing revnos in files?
[08:58] <fwereade> rogpeppe, the problem was that I used the txnrevno field, instead of txn-revno, and got 0 every time
[08:58] <fwereade> rogpeppe, I am but that's in a different area
[08:59] <rogpeppe> fwereade: yeah, in that case, i'm not sure i can think of a test that makes any difference.
[08:59] <rogpeppe> fwereade: 'cos if it's zero, you'll get a spurious first event, find that there's nothing to do, then do nothing
[09:00] <fwereade> rogpeppe, you might be interested to take a look at https://codereview.appspot.com/6850105/ and https://codereview.appspot.com/6851110/ while I read yours properly
[09:00] <fwereade> rogpeppe, yeah, exactly
[09:00] <rogpeppe> fwereade: looking
[09:02] <rogpeppe> fwereade: ah, i had taken a look at the first - i had one unpublished comment
[09:03] <rogpeppe> fwereade: LGTM
[09:03] <fwereade> rogpeppe, cheers, you have one too
[09:04] <rogpeppe> s/dong/ding/ lol
[09:05] <rogpeppe> fwereade: thanks
[09:10] <fwereade> rogpeppe, and another LGTM, that look fantastic
[09:10] <rogpeppe> fwereade: thanks!
[09:12] <rogpeppe> fwereade: the window really is very short indeed. i think it must be on the order of <0.1s
[09:12] <rogpeppe> fwereade: i've seen the "unauthorized access" problem precisely once
[09:17] <fwereade> rogpeppe, fantastic
[09:18] <rogpeppe> fwereade: basically the remote client and bootstrap-state are both racing for first access to the mongodb
[09:18] <fwereade> rogpeppe, ah, right, ofc
[09:19] <rogpeppe> fwereade: we're more likely to see the problem now because mgo redials about twice a second
[09:49] <dimitern> jam, mgz: would you take a look https://codereview.appspot.com/6851112/ pls?
[09:51] <jam> dimitern: looking
[10:15] <TheMue> rogpeppe, fwereade: Would you take a look at https://codereview.appspot.com/6853075/? I changed and simplified the way it's working.
[10:16] <rogpeppe> TheMue: looking
[10:16] <TheMue> dimitern, jam: Good morning.
[10:16] <jam> morning TheMue
[10:16] <dimitern> TheMue: morning
[10:19] <jam> dimitern: done
[10:20] <dimitern> jam: thanks
[10:25] <rogpeppe> TheMue: i like the idea (of just sourcing the file), but i'm not sure that env is the right way to print the env vars
[10:25] <rogpeppe> TheMue: what happens if one of the vars has a newline in?
[10:26] <TheMue> rogpeppe: Good hint, yes.
[10:27] <TheMue> rogpeppe: Todays Py code is only grepping two values, but as a general purpose package I would like to provide all.
[10:28] <TheMue> rogpeppe: Do you know a command to get the names of all environment variables?
[10:28] <rogpeppe> TheMue: you could use awk
[10:29] <TheMue> rogpeppe: Uuuh, last time I used awk has been last century. ;)
[10:31] <rogpeppe> TheMue: something like this might do the job:
[10:31] <rogpeppe> awk 'BEGIN {for(v in ENVIRON){s = ENVIRON[v]; gsub("\\", "\\\\", s); gsub("\n", "\\n", s); printf("%s=\"%s\"\n", v, s)}}'
[10:31] <rogpeppe> TheMue: then you could use strconv.Unquote to read 'em in
[10:32] <wallyworld> jam: dimitern: mgz: wanna have the standup now?
[10:32] <TheMue> rogpeppe: Thx, I'll try.
[10:32] <jam> works for me, is mgz here?
[10:32] <rogpeppe> TheMue: there's probably a better tool around for doing this though
[10:32] <rogpeppe> TheMue: you may even be able to use bash directly
[10:33] <jam> wallyworld: I'm in mumble
[10:33] <dimitern> wallyworld, jam: I'm ok with that
[10:33] * wallyworld opens mumble
[10:34] <wallyworld> jam: dimitern: i've hit that mumble bug again where it won't start, i have to reboot, give me a sec
[10:34] <rogpeppe> ha that's funny, you learn something new every day. i always thought that $'foo' was the same as $foo
[10:37] <jam> rogpeppe: do you mean $foo vs '$foo' ?
[10:37] <jam> I haven't really seen $'foo' before.
[10:37] <rogpeppe> jam: no
[10:37] <rogpeppe> jam: neither had i
[10:37] <rogpeppe> jam: except in rc
[10:37] <rogpeppe> jam: and i'd presumed sh was similar like that
[10:38] <rogpeppe> jam: try: echo $'foo\nbar'
[10:45] <rogpeppe> TheMue: looks like "typeset -p -x" might give you what you need
[10:46] <TheMue> rogpeppe: Looks nice, yes.
[10:47] <TheMue> rogpeppe: Just fetched my old shell programming book. ;)
[10:47] <rogpeppe> TheMue: alternatively, you could just parse the file. it wouldn't be too hard.
[10:48] <TheMue> rogpeppe: Which one? The /etc/default/lxc?
[10:48] <rogpeppe> TheMue: yeah
[10:48] <TheMue> rogpeppe: Values in it could be based on environment variables too. ;)
[10:49] <rogpeppe> TheMue: that's not too hard either
[10:49] <rogpeppe> TheMue: os.Expand might help
[10:49] <rogpeppe> TheMue: hmm, i dunno. at least using typeset you're guaranteed a standard format
[10:50] <rogpeppe> TheMue: i wonder about the security implications of sourcing the shell script, but since it's in /etc, it's probably ok
[10:50] <TheMue> rogpeppe: Yes, here this approach seems better. I started with parsing. But niemeyer had remarks.
[10:51] <TheMue> rogpeppe: The Py code just sources it too.
[10:51] <rogpeppe> TheMue: ok, that's interesting.
[10:51] <rogpeppe> TheMue: what values do you need from it, BTW?
[10:52] <TheMue> rogpeppe: For Juju only two, LXC_BRIDGE and LXC_ADDR. So they grepped it from env. But golxc is intended to be more general. So I would like to provide them all.
[10:55] <rogpeppe> TheMue: one issue with your current approach is that you'll see env vars that are defined in the testing environment too AFAICS
[10:55] <rogpeppe> TheMue: i think you need to start the shell command with a clean environment
[10:56] <TheMue> rogpeppe: I'm sourcing an own file with self-defined values for testing.
[10:57] <TheMue> rogpeppe: It's a copy, but with different values than the default values.
[10:57] <TheMue> rogpeppe: At least some of them.
[10:58] <rogpeppe> TheMue: i bet if you defined LXC_BRIDGE in your shell and deleted it from the "env" var, your test would still pass
[11:00] <TheMue> rogpeppe: If it has the right value, yes. :/
[11:06] <wallyworld_> jam: mgz: test one two three
[11:06] <mgz> ta!
[11:39] <niemeyer> Yo!
[11:39] <mgz> hey!
[11:45] <niemeyer> mgz: Heya
[11:45] <niemeyer> mgz: When's our next squash game? :-)
[11:47] <mgz> well, that would be one excuse for a holiday in brazil :)
[11:47] <niemeyer> mgz: Consider yourself invited :)
[11:48] <niemeyer> mgz: Just yesterday I was playing a pretty good match against a friend and reminding of that game in Copenhagen.. it was great
[11:48] <niemeyer> fwereade: Heya
[11:52] <niemeyer> fwereade: https://codereview.appspot.com/6850105 is ready to go in
[11:52] <fwereade> niemeyer, sweet! tyvm
[11:52] <niemeyer> fwereade: Thank you!
[11:59] * dimitern => lunch
[12:02] * fwereade also
[12:11] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: morning!
[12:39] <TheMue> rogpeppe: Found an even simpler way. Wonna look again?
[12:40] <rogpeppe> TheMue: sure
[12:40] <TheMue> rogpeppe: Thanks.
[12:43] <rogpeppe> TheMue: what are those double quotes doing at the start of script?
[12:44] <rogpeppe> TheMue: (printenv -0 looks good BTW)
[12:44] <TheMue> rogpeppe: Otherwise it isn't passed to sh as one argument. I wondered too.
[12:45] <rogpeppe> TheMue: huh?
[12:45] <rogpeppe> TheMue: have you tried it without them?
[12:45] <TheMue> rogpeppe: Yep.
[12:46] <TheMue> rogpeppe: Aargh, you meant now double quotes.
[12:46] <TheMue> rogpeppe: That works, will remove and repropose it. *facepalm*
[12:46] <rogpeppe> TheMue: s/now/no/ ?
[12:46] <TheMue> rogpeppe: Yep, fingers too fast. ;)
[12:48] <TheMue> rogpeppe: So, removed. Took them too automatically.
[12:49] <niemeyer> TheMue: I think we should move on to MAAS instead of continuing to spend cycles on this
[12:50] <TheMue> niemeyer: I'm reading the MAAS source in parallel. The remaining two branches are really small and you would do me a favour if I could complete them.
[12:51] <niemeyer> TheMue: I'd agree if they were ready to land, but last time I've seen there were several issues, so it spends your time, my time, Roger's time, for a branch we won't be using any time soon
[12:52] <TheMue> niemeyer: OK, but could you please take a look today to see if the direction now is better?
[12:55] <niemeyer> TheMue: What happens if there is an LXC variable in the Go process?
[12:57] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: i've raised that issue
[12:57] <TheMue> niemeyer: Ah, yeah, IC. That's a problem in the Py code too, but there only for LXC_ADDR and LXC_BRIDGE. /etc/default/lxc overwrites the processes variable.
[12:58] <rogpeppe> TheMue: you've got some more comments
[12:58] <TheMue> rogpeppe: Thanks.
[12:58] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: i think it should clear environment variables before sourcing the shell script
[13:03] <TheMue> rogpeppe: The sourcing is only in a subshell for reading the values.
[13:03] <rogpeppe> TheMue: that subshell inherits environment variables from the caller
[13:03] <niemeyer> TheMue: That's not how environment works
[13:04] <niemeyer> What roger said
[13:04] <TheMue> niemeyer: Wanted to express that for the execution of lxc commands the environment is unchanged.
[13:05] <niemeyer> TheMue: I don't understand how that changes the points made
[13:05] <niemeyer> TheMue: A child cannot change a parent's environment, ever
[13:05] <niemeyer> TheMue: But I'm not sure if that's what you're saying
[13:05] <niemeyer> I mean, at least in computing
[13:06] <niemeyer> IN the real world a child revamps a parent's environment in its entirety
[13:06] <TheMue> niemeyer: *lol*
[13:06] <TheMue> niemeyer: Yes, I know. I'm only using the way of the Py code to read values out of /etc/default/lxc
[13:07] <TheMue> niemeyer: Here they've done the same, but grepping only for the LXC_ values to then read ADDR and BRIDGE.
[13:07] <niemeyer> TheMue: Still doesn't change the points made
[13:08] <niemeyer> TheMue: and the point is reather simple really
[13:08] <niemeyer> rather
[13:09] <TheMue> niemeyer: IMHO sourcing that file overwrites the processes environment when fetchiing the values out of it. Am I right?
[13:09] <niemeyer> <rogpeppe> niemeyer: i think it should clear environment variables before sourcing the shell script
[13:09] <niemeyer> <rogpeppe> TheMue: that subshell inherits environment variables from the caller
[13:09] <niemeyer> TheMue: This is right
[13:10] <TheMue> niemeyer: So the environment I'm parsing is too large, but it contains the values of /etc/default/lxc. Still right?
[13:11] <TheMue> niemeyer: And by clearing the environment before I would reduce it to the values of that file.
[13:12] <niemeyer> TheMue: Right
[13:14] <TheMue> niemeyer: OK, then I know where we gor our wires crossed. (You say so?)
[13:14] <TheMue> s/gor/got/
[13:35] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: Can you please have a look at William's follow up when you have a second: https://codereview.appspot.com/6851110
[13:35] <niemeyer> Well, 10 minutes perhaps
[13:35] <niemeyer> :)
[13:35] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: will do
[13:35] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: Thanks
[13:52] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: One branch reviewed and double LGTMed with trivials
[13:52] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: Only one left in the queue.. will get to that after lunch
[13:52] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: thanks!
[13:52] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: whee!
[13:53] * rogpeppe should have some lunch too
[13:53] <niemeyer> +1

[14:46] <rogpeppe> fwereade: i'll try against a different go version
[14:46] <fwereade> rogpeppe, I'm still using 1.0.2
[14:46] <fwereade> rogpeppe, (er, did we decide to standardize on 1.0.3?)
[14:47] <rogpeppe> fwereade: i'm not sure
[14:47] <rogpeppe> fwereade: i think maybe 1.0.2 as that's what's bundled
[14:47] <fwereade> rogpeppe, ah, yes, then I did that deliberately
[14:47] * fwereade looks around shiftily
[14:49] * rogpeppe builds 1.0.2
[14:49] <rogpeppe> fwereade: it passes on 1.0.3 BTW
[14:50] <fwereade> rogpeppe, I did indeed assume you wouldn't have merged stuff that didn't work for you ;)
[14:50] <rogpeppe> fwereade: i was compiling against tip, so it may not have
[14:50] <rogpeppe> fwereade: hmm, 1.0.2 passes for me too

[14:54] <fwereade> rogpeppe, the otherone's equivalent
[14:55] <rogpeppe> fwereade: interesting. something to do with daylight savings
[14:55] <fwereade> rogpeppe, and/or timezones :)
[14:55] <rogpeppe> fwereade: yeah
[14:55] <fwereade> rogpeppe, anotheradvantage of the distributed team :)
[14:56] <rogpeppe> fwereade: yeah. i am GMT atm so particularly vulnerable to that kind of error
[14:59] <fwereade> rogpeppe, I will assume that the fix will be simple but not immediate, and merge over the top of it, ok?
[14:59] * TheMue wonders …oooOOO( Interesting behavior. )
[14:59] <rogpeppe> fwereade: yeah, i guess so.
[14:59] <rogpeppe> fwereade: i'm just trying to reproduce the behaviour
[15:08] <rogpeppe> fwereade: i can't seem to reproduce the behaviour, which is a bit off
[15:08] <rogpeppe> odd
[15:09] <fwereade> rogpeppe, huh, weird
[15:09] <fwereade> TheMue, can you repro? you're in my timezone I think
[15:09] <rogpeppe> fwereade: i tried using a time which i parsed from your timestamp
[15:09] <TheMue> fwereade: Will try.
[15:10] <rogpeppe> fwereade: could you try this: where the test calls time.Now(), could you make it call time.Now().UTC() instead.
[15:11] <fwereade> rogpeppe, bingo
[15:12] <fwereade> rogpeppe, fixes all 3
[15:12] <rogpeppe> fwereade: hmm, it shouldn't make a difference

[15:13] <fwereade> rogpeppe, great, thanks, consider it pre-LGTMed if that's all you do :)

[15:32] <fwereade> rogpeppe, sorry, I have no reason to still be waiting for your fix, do I? can I merge?
[15:33] <rogpeppe> fwereade: you can and may
[15:34] <fwereade> rogpeppe, cheers
[15:35] <rogpeppe> fwereade: i'm trying to understand the problem a little more before i commit a fix. it's weird that i can't reproduce the problem here.
[15:40] <TheMue> rogpeppe: Clearing the environment is handled now. But no need to review so far, I'm currently diving into MAAS. Only has been a litle fix to answer your last review.
[15:40] <rogpeppe> TheMue: ok
[15:42] * TheMue is stepping out a bit earlier today. Had no lunch due to pre-christmas-dinner with friends.
[15:43] <fwereade> TheMue, enjoy
[15:44] <TheMue> fwereade: Thanks.
[15:58] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: Woohay TLS
[15:58] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: Just reviewed that last one
[15:58] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: thanks!
[16:00] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: BTW 0.5 seconds should be perfectly sufficient - mgo redials many times a second, and bootstrap-state takes very little time to complete
[16:01] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: i can raise the length of time anyway if you'd like.
[16:01] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: 0.5 second is spent in a trivial sneeze of AWS
[16:02] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: fair enough. BTW what in the ssh logic were you thinking we might miss?
[16:02] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: The ssh logic :-)
[16:03] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: if we're not using ssh, why should we care about that?
[16:04] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: ssh is battle tested as public doors.. I just feel a bit more comfortable there.
[16:13] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: i quoted the serverPEMPath because cfg.DataDir may reasonably contain spaces. quotes or backslashes are much more unlikely though.
[16:14] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: do you still think it's a bad idea to do that?
[16:14] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: We know it doesn't contain spaces, in the same way we know it doesn't contain quotes or backslashes
[16:14] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: do we know that ioutil.TempDir will never return a name with a space in?
[16:14] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: Pretending we're being safer isn't necessary
[16:14] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: Do we know it will never return a name with quotes?
[16:15] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: tbh, i'd prefer to know what the quoting rules *are* for upstart...
[16:15] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: Isn't that a line passed to a shell?
[16:16] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: no, it goes into the upstart config file which has its own syntax
[16:16] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: Isn't upstart taking that line from its config file and passing it to a shell?
[16:16] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: i don't think so.
[16:16] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: I'd be surprised
[16:16] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: i think it invokes the command directly
[16:16] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: But it doesn't really matter
[16:17] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: i did delve into the source once to try to find out
[16:17] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: The points made still hold
[16:17] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: does that mean i should remove all the shquote calls elsewhere?
[16:18] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: You're not using shquote there
[16:18] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: i'm using it to quote the same file name elsewhere
[16:18] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: i think maybe i'll add a sanity check early on that checks that DataDir is ok might be good. then i can relax.
[16:19] <rogpeppe> s/maybe i'll add /
[16:19] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: Sure.. whatever suits. The point made is pretty trivial: dumb-quoting and no-quoting work the same
[16:20] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: Hmm.. isn't DataDIr coming from our own code?
[16:20] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: Where's the tempdir coming from?
[16:21] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: i kinda presumed that c.MkDir() called ioutil.TempDir somewhere along the line.
[16:21] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: i may be wrong
[16:22] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: Ah, for testing.. sure.. I'd be eagerly awaiting for the first bug report. :-)
[16:22] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: :-)
[16:22] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: This works in upstart, btw: exec echo "foo" > /tmp/foo
[16:22] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: So it's surely a shell.
[16:23] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: yes, i think > is special syntax.
[16:23] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: For a shell? :-)
[16:23] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: try echo "foo`echo bar`"
[16:23] <niemeyer> exec echo "foo" 2>&1 > /tmp/foo
[16:24] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: Is that special syntax too? :)
[16:24] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: quite possibly
[16:24] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: did you try the above example?
[16:25] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: if it succeeds, then i'm more convinced
[16:25] <niemeyer> exec echo "`cat /etc/passwd`" 2>&1 > /tmp/foo
[16:25] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: Try it.. :)
[16:29] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: in that case, cool, we can just use shquote
[16:30] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: Scott is a pretty sharp guy.. I'd be surprised if he had reimplemented a shell inside upstart
[16:32] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: well, there's *something* going on, because the upstart file itself isn't a shell script, so it has to parse the shell line to some degree before bundling it up to pass to the shell again
[16:33] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: it loses newlines from within the quotes, for example, so it's not exactly the same
[16:34] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: It's trivial to pick an exec line out of a file, but we're not really reimplementing upstart today :)
[16:34] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: it can be more than one line
[16:34] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: but yeah...
[16:34] <niemeyer> Heh
[16:41] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: so with the above in mind, is it ok if i use shquote, rather than leaving it unquoted. it would make me feel more comfortable.
[16:41] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: Of course
[16:46] <rogpeppe> fwereade: could you confirm that this branch still fails when testing cert, please? lp:~rogpeppe/juju-core/174-fix-cert-times
[16:47] <fwereade> rogpeppe, branching
[16:47] <fwereade> rogpeppe, passes
[16:48] <rogpeppe> fwereade: weird
[16:48] <rogpeppe> fwereade: because it looks like x509 calls .UTC itself
[16:55] <rogpeppe> fwereade: ah! but only in tip, not in 1.0.3 or earlier
[16:56] <rogpeppe> fwereade: and now i can reproduce the issue, i'm happy to make the fix
[16:58] <fwereade> rogpeppe, ah, cool
=== niemeyer_ is now known as niemeyer
[17:07] <fwereade> rogpeppe, niemeyer: unexpected snag with environs.InstanceId type: state.Machine.InstanceId() should surely return one?
[17:07] <rogpeppe> fwereade: i'd make it state.InstanceId
[17:08] <fwereade> rogpeppe, doesn't feel quite right tbh
[17:08] <fwereade> rogpeppe, but I guess I can live with it :)
[17:08] <rogpeppe> fwereade: environs already uses state types
[17:08] <fwereade> rogpeppe, indeed so
[17:08] <fwereade> rogpeppe, it's just that InstanceId really doesn't feel very statey :)
[17:09] <rogpeppe> fwereade: if it wasn't statey, the state wouldn't want to talk about it :-)
[17:09] * fwereade shrugs
[17:09] <fwereade> rogpeppe, fair enough
[17:10] <niemeyer> fwereade: I agree with both points.. it'd indeed fit better in environs, I think having it in state is also fine
[17:10] <fwereade> niemeyer, sgtm
[17:10] <niemeyer> robbiew: I guess that meeting isn't happening?
[17:10] <robbiew> niemeyer: it is
[17:10] <robbiew> we are running late in another call
[17:10] <niemeyer> robbiew: Hmm, ok

[17:13] <fwereade> rogpeppe, LGTM
[17:13] <rogpeppe> fwereade: (i verified that the new tests failed on my machine against 1.0.2)
[17:13] <rogpeppe> fwereade: ta
[17:13] <rogpeppe> fwereade: submitting as i deem it trivial :-)
[17:14] <fwereade> rogpeppe, SGTM
[17:28] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: i don't think that waiting for a minute when we get an unauthorized error is a good idea
[17:29] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: that means the first connection will always take at least a minute
[17:29] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: Why?
[17:29] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: because we try with the admin password, and if that fails, we try with the password hash
[17:29] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: I thougth you said it takes less than 0.5 seconds?
[17:29] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: so for the first connection we will always get ErrUnauthorized
[17:29] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: So we tell the user unauthorized?
[17:30] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: it's part of our standard login heuristics
[17:30] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: see juju.NewConn
[17:30] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: So I don't understand what's going on there
[17:30] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: WHy are we retrying at all if we're retrying anyway?
[17:30] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: it's all as we discussed earlier
[17:30] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: ages ago, that is
[17:30] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: I don't think we discussed this?
[17:31] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: I don't recall talking about that 0.5 delay
[17:31] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: we're retrying in that specific circumstance, using a different password each time
[17:31] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: Yeah, but that's flaky
[17:31] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: Vastly changing results if the server takes 0.5 seconds to answer something is really bad
[17:32] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: it's not if the server takes 0.5 seconds to answer. it's if bootstrap-state takes more than 0.5 seconds from dialling to initialising the state.
[17:32] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: That's exactly what I mean
[17:32] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: and actually, that's not right either
[17:33] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: maybe juju.NewConn should do the timed retry actually
[17:33] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: What happens when bootstrap-state dials that starts that period?
[17:33] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: as it's retrying anyway
[17:33] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: Yeah, that would probably be less flaky
[17:33] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: mgo continually redials with no delay
[17:33] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: (i think that's not right actually)
[17:34] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: I don't know what that means in this context
[17:34] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: It doesn't matter what mgo does
[17:34] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: What happens when bootstrap-state dials to kick that 0.5 period?
[17:34] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: i don't understand the question
[17:35] <niemeyer> <rogpeppe> niemeyer: it's not if the server takes 0.5 seconds to answer. it's if bootstrap-state takes more than 0.5 seconds from dialling to initialising the state.
[17:35] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: "from dialling"!?
[17:35] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: What happens when it dials to get that 0.5 period kicked off?
[17:35] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: I can't see how that influences the period at all
[17:35] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: bootstrap-state continually redials the mgo server while it's coming up.
[17:35] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: MongoDB starts, and you'd get unauthorized, even if bootstrap-state hasn't even started running
[17:35] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: yes
[17:35] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: Yes, I don't think that's relevant
[17:36] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: the client is also continually redialling the mgo server
[17:36] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: Exactly
[17:36] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: bootstrap-state doesn't have to even start for that 0.5 period to pass by
[17:36] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: bootstrap-state starts well before mongodb is accepting connections
[17:37] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: but i agree the timeout in Open isn't right
[17:37] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: Because? MongoDB is started before that
[17:37] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: You're trusting on external times of things that can take whatever time to run depending on scheduling and whatnot
[17:37] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: mongodb takes a while to answer connections. bootstrap-state is started immediately after starting mongo.
[17:37] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: yeah, that's true
[17:37] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: There's nothing about that "from dialling to initialising the state"
[17:38] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: i'm much happier putting the timeout in juju.NewConn
[17:38] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: Sounds good, we just have to make sure this is more reliable
[17:39] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: it's a pity we can't get bootstrap-state to tell mongodb to open a new port
[18:01] <fwereade> rogpeppe, niemeyer: https://codereview.appspot.com/6844103 should be trivial (state.InstanceId)
[18:03] <niemeyer> fwereade: On it
[18:04] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: if you could take a brief look at https://codereview.appspot.com/6856105 before i submit; in particular the new code in juju.NewConn, that would be great.
[18:05] <niemeyer> +func (inst *instance) Id() state.InstanceId {
[18:05] <niemeyer> + return state.InstanceId(inst.InstanceId)
[18:05] <niemeyer> }
[18:05] <niemeyer> fwereade: Why do we have a method that returns a public field?
[18:05] <niemeyer> fwereade: Did you spot why when doing it?
[18:06] <fwereade> niemeyer, to satisfy environs.Instance, I think
[18:06] <niemeyer> fwereade: A field can't be part of an interfae
[18:06] <niemeyer> interface
[18:06] <fwereade> niemeyer, hence the method
[18:06] <fwereade> niemeyer, which is part of the interface
[18:06] <niemeyer> fwereade: Ah, it's because that field is in ec2.Instance, actually
[18:07] <niemeyer> fwereade: Sure, I know why the method exist
[18:07] <niemeyer> s
[18:07] <niemeyer> fwereade: It wasn't clear why the field existed
[18:07] <fwereade> niemeyer, oh, yes, sorry, that too
[18:07] <niemeyer> fwereade: CHeers
[18:14] * rogpeppe has to go now.
[18:15] <rogpeppe> g'night all
[18:15] <rogpeppe> niemeyer: if you like the new change, i'll submit a bit later.
[18:15] <fss> niemeyer: lol
[18:15] <fss> niemeyer: ops, wrong message
[18:15] <fss> niemeyer: sorry x)
[18:16] <niemeyer> rogpeppe: Super, cheers man
[18:17] <niemeyer> fwereade: LGTM with a couple of trivials. Thanks
[18:17] <niemeyer> fss: :)
[18:17] <fwereade> niemeyer, cheers
[18:18] <fwereade> niemeyer, the casting in the tests was justified in my mind on the basis that, well, we know the method signature and therefore the type
[18:19] <fwereade> niemeyer, and it's slightly more readable IMO
[18:19] <fwereade> niemeyer, no big deal, I'll change them
[18:20] <niemeyer> fwereade: In general that should be fine, but these tests are precisely the tests verifying that we know the method signature
[18:20] <niemeyer> fwereade: Note that the comment is specifically on the test of the InstanceId method itself
[18:20] <fwereade> niemeyer, ah, yes, true

[18:21] <niemeyer> fwereade: My pleasure
[20:29] <fwereade> rogpeppe, can you precis the thinking behind having an explicitly required MachinerWorker but not an UpgraderWorker?
[20:29] <fwereade> rogpeppe, I would just as soon make them both implicit...
[21:15] <niemeyer> fwereade: The upgrader is a bit more attached to the details of the agent itself
[21:15] <niemeyer> fwereade: Although I'm not sure either if there's enough justification
