Add a single test-program for praudit(1) utility

[aniketp]

Summary

The revision introduces a new test-program for an audit viewer application: praudit.
The tests have been created for checking the proper functioning of each mode of execution.

-d del  Specifies the delimiter.  The default delimiter is the comma.

-l      Prints the entire record on the same line.  If this option is not
        specified, every token is displayed on a different line.

-n      Do not convert user and group IDs to their names but leave in
        their numeric forms.

-p      Specify this option if input to praudit is piped from the tail(1)
        utility.  This causes praudit to sync to the start of the next
        record.

-r      Prints the records in their raw, numeric form.  This option is
        exclusive from -s.

-s      Prints the tokens in their short form.  Short text
        representations for record and event type are displayed.  This
        option is exclusive from -r.

-x      Print audit records in the XML output format.

NOTE: The above snippet is taken from praudit.1

Test Plan

Execute make install from usr.sbin/praudit/tests.
Execute kyua test from /usr/test/usr.sbin/praudit. The test case should succeed.

What about -p? And how about asserting the exclusivity of -s and -r in a negative test?

usr.sbin/praudit/tests/Makefile

19

Remove the final backslash

usr.sbin/praudit/tests/praudit_test.sh

34

As these assertions are all independent, you should split them into separate test cases.

38

Don't assert that the exit status is 1. That's a bug. Fix the bug instead.

[aniketp]

• Add a test for praudit exclusivity for 'r' and 's' arguments
• Separate the test cases from one another

[aniketp]

Update the praudit_raw_short_exclusive's description

[aniketp]

• Replace the audit startup trail with socket(2) trail
• Improvements in the raw_short_exclusive description

[asomers]

I still think you should try to test "-p". That's the only thing standing between you and full coverage of the praudit command line.

[aniketp]

Add a test case for -p option which is used with tail(1)

[aniketp]

Add a test case for -p option which is used with tail(1)

• I had missed the corrupted record earlier

[aniketp]

Update praudit's flag '-p': Earlier the tests were failing

[aniketp]

Update praudit_sync_to_next_record test case

[asomers]

usr.sbin/praudit/tests/praudit_test.sh

Is it a requirement that praudit _can't_ work with a truncated record without -p? I don't think it is. So you should probably remove the first assertion. Also, could you somewhere include a textual description of the difference between the normal and the truncated records?

[aniketp]

usr.sbin/praudit/tests/praudit_test.sh

@asomers I had added extra random texts in the trail (before correct audit record) and verified that
praudit trail resulted in empty STDOUT
while praudit -p trail gave only the correct (later) part of the stdout.

[aniketp]

Remove the normal praudit atf_check assertion in the praudit_sync_to_next_record test-case

[asomers]

I would still like to see a comment describing the contents of the corrupted file.

[aniketp]

Add a description on the intent of testing the -p option

[asomers]

usr.sbin/praudit/tests/praudit_test.sh

I doesn't read from the end. It still reads from the front; but it syncs to the start of the first whole record before it does anything else.

[aniketp]

Update the test case description

[asomers]

The praudit_test:praudit_sync_to_next_record spins the CPU and never returns. Does it do that for you too?

[aniketp]

No @asomers ,
In its current form it passes smoothly:

praudit_test:praudit_sync_to_next_record  ->  passed  [0.027s]

[asomers]

Since praudit -p occasionally spins the cpu (as confirmed by Aniket on IRC) you should set a shorter timeout. Apart from that this review looks good. However, it does depend on the change to praudit's return code, which hasn't been committed yet.

[aniketp]

No @asomers, praudit -p never spins the CPU in normal invocation. (Apologies if my earlier statement was unclear)
This is the observation:

Case 1) For the tail(1) usage:

	atf_check -o file:$(atf_get_srcdir)/no_args \
		tail $(atf_get_srcdir)/corrupted | praudit -p

CPU usage shoots up and test case never returns.

Case 2) For the normal usage:

	atf_check -o file:$(atf_get_srcdir)/no_args \
		praudit -p $(atf_get_srcdir)/corrupted

Result is successful everytime.

[aniketp]

• Reduce the timeout to 2 seconds

[asomers]

I figured out why it works for you but not for me; it's arcanist's fault. Arcanist apparently doesn't like binary files. When I do "arc patch" it creates corrupted and trail as 0-length files. That means that a repro case for the bug is "touch /tmp/empty; praudit -p /tmp/empty".

I'm accepting this revision, but it still depends on fixing praudit's exit status.
