1402151 - Convert FTP parser unit tests into a gtest

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: Networking: FTP, enhancement, P5)

Description

[Andrew McCreight [:mccr8]]

There are a number of test cases for the FTP directory listing parser in the tree, but I don't think they are run in automation. It won't be that hard to convert them to a gtest.

Comment 1

[Andrew McCreight [:mccr8]]

I've got this basically up and running, but there are two issues I've come across:

- Years are not converted properly in a number of places. The NSPR exploded time format says that the year should be absolute years, but for some reason this code goes out of its way in a few places to store the time since 1980. I think I've fixed it, but the question is if any patches to the parser code are okay.

- In at least one of the formats, the date is given as seconds since whenever, and has to be converted into a regular date. The problem here is that the resulting date depends on the time zone. The current code uses the computer's current time zone, which is obviously not okay for a test that has to run in automation. It isn't hard to parameterize the parsing code by an NSPR timezone callback, but the only preexisting fixed time zone in the NSPR codebase that I see is for GMT. However, the tests seem to have been targeted at a time zone one hour west of GMT, that takes into account DST, so times during the summer months are off by one hour, and during the winter months are off by two hours (or maybe vice versa). I could either write a custom callback that copies all of the tedious calculations for figuring out whether daylight savings time applies depending on the date, or rewrite the tests to use GMT. I guess if I write a script, the latter is probably a little better. I started converting them manually, but that is awful because there are lots of tests.

There are some other minor issues, like there's a test for the Windows parser for <JUNCTION> when it doesn't have a target. The test expects the parser to deal with that, but it just gets thrown out as junk. The Chrome FTP parser doesn't handle JUNCTION at all, so I think the right approach is to just delete that line of the test.

Attachment: Paris to GMT conversion script

In the end, it turned out that only a single test, E-EPLF.out, had the Paris time zone instead of GMT. That test still requires a little bit of manual fixup beyond this, possibly due to a change or a bug in when daylight savings time kicks in, but I didn't care enough to investigate further. Here's the script I used, for posterity.

Attachment: Bug 1402151, part 1 - Improve handling of two digit years.

The tm_year field of PRExplodedTime is an absolute year, not years
since 1900, so fix a few places that try to do the latter.

I also made the conversion of 2 digit years more consistent.

Attachment: Bug 1402151, part 2 - Clamp the number of blocks for a VMS file.

strtoul returns an |unsigned long|, and clamps the return value to
ULONG_MAX if the input is out of range. This means that the value
returned for large numbers differs between 32-bit and 64-bit
systems. To make testing easier, this patch clamps the return value to
UINT32_MAX, ensuring that 32-bit and 64-bit builds of Firefox will be
consistent.

Explicitly declaring that the intermediate value numBlocks is a
uint64_t also avoids (well-defined) integer overflow in the case of a
large file.

This patch also changes PRId64 to PRIu64, because the value being
printed is unsigned. However, this should not make a difference in
practice, because, with clamping, the maximum value being printed is
|UINT32_MAX * 512|.

I also cleaned up the comment that was a little garbled and contained
information about both the old and new ways this was handled, and
removed some code that has been ifdef'd out for at least 14 years.

Attachment: Bug 1402151, part 4 - Fix some FTP parser tests.

D-WinNT: The parser treats <JUNCTION> without an arrow as junk for
some reason. Chrome's FTP directory listing parser doesn't seem to
support <JUNCTION> at all, so it can't be too important. I just
deleted that from the expected output to match Firefox's current
behavior. I also added basic tests for three bugs that were fixed
without any tests landed.

E-EPLF.out: Add a license to the top.

U-WinNT.out: We're not testing junk or comment output, and we don't
use the list: prefix, so remove all of those. Also, we now output the
proper year (2000 instead of 00, for instance), so fix that in the
test output. Finally, the time in the output for this test is
formatted differently, for whatever reason, so change it to match the
actual output.

V-VMS-mix.out: Fix file sizes. File sizes on VMS can only be
approximated. When the FTP tests initially landed in 2002, this was
handled by not trying. Bug 22299 landed in 2003 and changed our
behavior to approximate the size, but the tests were not
updated.

Attachment: Bug 1402151, part 5 - Adjust E-EPLF.out from Paris time to GMT.

The dates in the input for this file are specified as seconds since
Jan 1, 1970 or whenever. The conversion to a normal date depends on
the current time zone. The original output seems to have been
generated using GMT+1, with adjustments for daylight savings time at
the appropriate parts of the year. To make this easier to test, this
patch changes all of the times to GMT, without any daylight savings
time adjustment.

This change was automatically created by the Python script attached to
the bug.

Attachment: Bug 1402151, part 6 - Manual fixups for times in E-EPLF.out.

After the automatic fixes in the previous patch, a few of the times in
late March and early April are still off by an hour. Maybe this was
affected by the changes in when daylight savings time or some bug in
my conversion script. I have no idea. This patch just fixes the test
to match the actual output.

Attachment: Bug 1402151, part 7 - Add a time zone argument to ParseFTPList.

In a few places, the FTP parser needs to know the time zone and
daylight savings time correction, encapsulated in
PRTimeParamFn. Before this patch, it would use the time zone of the
current machine, which would obviously make automated testing
difficult. This patch allows a caller to pass in a PRTimeParamFn,
which will allow the gtest to use GMT instead of whatever the local
time is.

Comment 11

[Andrew McCreight [:mccr8]]

Attachment: Bug 1402151, part 8 - Add an argument to ParseFTPList to return the current time.

If the year is omitted from a listing, then the parsing code assumes
that the date occurred within the last year. To compute what the year
should be, the code thus needs to know what the current year, month
and day are. This patch parameterizes ParseFTPList over a function
that returns a PRTime. This will allow the gtest to pass in a fixed
time. Firefox itself will continue to use PR_Now to get the current
time.

Attachment: Bug 1402151, part 9 - Implement gtest for FTP directory listing parsing.

This test turns the existing stand alone test for the FTP directory
listing parser into a gtest.
