Without this change the test could take a very long time to
cleanup the queues and finish because of a race condition
between the queue deletion and the federation link being
restarted and declaring the queue again.
(The test bidirectional was renamed to message_flow to better
represent what it is doing.)
Unlike with gnu make, mixed version testing with bazel uses a package-generic-unix for the secondary umbrella rather than the source. This brings the benefit of being able to mixed version test releases built with older erlang versions (even though all nodes will run under the single version given to bazel)
This introduces new test labels, adding a `-mixed` suffix for every existing test. They can be skipped if necessary with `--test_tag_filters` (see the github actions workflow for an example)
As part of the change, it is now possible to run an old release of rabbit with rabbitmq_run rule, such as:
`bazel run @rabbitmq-server-generic-unix-3.8.17//:rabbitmq-run run-broker`
Most tests that can start rabbitmq nodes have some chance of
flaking. Rather than chase individual flakes for now, this commit
changes the default (though it can still be overriden, as is the case
for config_scheme_SUITE in many places, since I have yet to see that
particular suite flake).
Adds WORKSPACE.bazel, BUILD.bazel & *.bzl files for partial build & test with Bazel. Introduces a build-time dependency on https://github.com/rabbitmq/bazel-erlang
This allows including additional applications or third party
plugins when creating a release, running the broker locally,
or just building from the top-level Makefile.
To include Looking Glass in a release, for example:
$ make package-generic-unix ADDITIONAL_PLUGINS="looking_glass"
A Docker image can then be built using this release and will
contain Looking Glass:
$ make docker-image
Beware macOS users! Applications such as Looking Glass include
NIFs. NIFs must be compiled in the right environment. If you
are building a Docker image then make sure to build the NIF
on Linux! In the two steps above, this corresponds to Step 1.
To run the broker with Looking Glass available:
$ make run-broker ADDITIONAL_PLUGINS="looking_glass"
This commit also moves Looking Glass dependency information
into rabbitmq-components.mk so it is available at all times.
Lager strips trailing newline characters but OTP logger with the default
formatter adds a newline at the end. To avoid unintentional multi-line log
messages we have to revisit most messages logged.
Some log entries are intentionally multiline, others
are printed to stdout directly: newlines are required there
for sensible formatting.
The configuration remains the same for the end-user. The only exception
is the log root directory: it is now set through the `log_root`
application env. variable in `rabbit`. People using the Cuttlefish-based
configuration file are not affected by this exception.
The main change is how the logging facility is configured. It now
happens in `rabbit_prelaunch_logging`. The `rabbit_lager` module is
removed.
The supported outputs remain the same: the console, text files, the
`amq.rabbitmq.log` exchange and syslog.
The message text format slightly changed: the timestamp is more precise
(now to the microsecond) and the level can be abbreviated to always be
4-character long to align all messages and improve readability. Here is
an example:
2021-03-03 10:22:30.377392+01:00 [dbug] <0.229.0> == Prelaunch DONE ==
2021-03-03 10:22:30.377860+01:00 [info] <0.229.0>
2021-03-03 10:22:30.377860+01:00 [info] <0.229.0> Starting RabbitMQ 3.8.10+115.g071f3fb on Erlang 23.2.5
2021-03-03 10:22:30.377860+01:00 [info] <0.229.0> Licensed under the MPL 2.0. Website: https://rabbitmq.com
The example above also shows that multiline messages are supported and
each line is prepended with the same prefix (the timestamp, the level
and the Erlang process PID).
JSON is also supported as a message format and now for any outputs.
Indeed, it is possible to use it with e.g. syslog or the exchange. Here
is an example of a JSON-formatted message sent to syslog:
Mar 3 11:23:06 localhost rabbitmq-server[27908] <0.229.0> - {"time":"2021-03-03T11:23:06.998466+01:00","level":"notice","msg":"Logging: configured log handlers are now ACTIVE","meta":{"domain":"rabbitmq.prelaunch","file":"src/rabbit_prelaunch_logging.erl","gl":"<0.228.0>","line":311,"mfa":["rabbit_prelaunch_logging","configure_logger",1],"pid":"<0.229.0>"}}
For quick testing, the values accepted by the `$RABBITMQ_LOGS`
environment variables were extended:
* `-` still means stdout
* `-stderr` means stderr
* `syslog:` means syslog on localhost
* `exchange:` means logging to `amq.rabbitmq.log`
`$RABBITMQ_LOG` was also extended. It now accepts a `+json` modifier (in
addition to the existing `+color` one). With that modifier, messages are
formatted as JSON intead of plain text.
The `rabbitmqctl rotate_logs` command is deprecated. The reason is
Logger does not expose a function to force log rotation. However, it
will detect when a file was rotated by an external tool.
From a developer point of view, the old `rabbit_log*` API remains
supported, though it is now deprecated. It is implemented as regular
modules: there is no `parse_transform` involved anymore.
In the code, it is recommended to use the new Logger macros. For
instance, `?LOG_INFO(Format, Args)`. If possible, messages should be
augmented with some metadata. For instance (note the map after the
message):
?LOG_NOTICE("Logging: switching to configured handler(s); following "
"messages may not be visible in this log output",
#{domain => ?RMQLOG_DOMAIN_PRELAUNCH}),
Domains in Erlang Logger parlance are the way to categorize messages.
Some predefined domains, matching previous categories, are currently
defined in `rabbit_common/include/logging.hrl` or headers in the
relevant plugins for plugin-specific categories.
At this point, very few messages have been converted from the old
`rabbit_log*` API to the new macros. It can be done gradually when
working on a particular module or logging.
The Erlang builtin console/file handler, `logger_std_h`, has been forked
because it lacks date-based file rotation. The configuration of
date-based rotation is identical to Lager. Once the dust has settled for
this feature, the goal is to submit it upstream for inclusion in Erlang.
The forked module is calld `rabbit_logger_std_h` and is based
`logger_std_h` in Erlang 23.0.
Decorators are only executed if the plugin is enabled (registered in
rabbit_queue_decorator), thus initialising the links through `startup`.
There is no obvious way for a fed link to start if the plugin isn't running,
so this check can be removed.
`rabbit_federation_queue_link:go()` and the exchange equivalent are asynchronous (cast).
They are luckily executed after the links are started by the decorators, and probably
most of the time they find the links up and ready to `go`. However, this might not always
be the case. The retry introduced on the previous commit that is triggered by the link itself
once if finds that federation is down, guarantees that the `go` will be handled by the link
process. Thus, the calls to rabbit_federation_queue_link:go() and rabbit_federation_exchange_link:go()
can be removed from the app.
