test: pass process.env to child processes #16405

rvagg · 2017-10-23T09:11:30Z

Primarily for testing when using LD_LIBRARY_PATH and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, these are a few newer instances that have been added since someone last tried to do this. Found while testing OpenSSL 1.1.0 dynamic linking for #16130.

these are a few newer instances that have been added since someone last tried to do this.

That was a month ago (#15557), so really looking forward to having this tested in CI.

ignore the lint failure there, I messed up some stuff in benchmark/_http-benchmarkers.js that I've force-pushed fixes for since submitting the job.

rvagg · 2017-10-23T11:48:36Z

@gibfahn I suspect we might find even more instances once we start testing zlib, cares and others as dynamic non-globals.

LGTM with a question.

Aren't the { env: process.env } changes unnecessary?

@cjihrig in theory yes, for -h in here you just want them to run, but I figured that we don't control how these applications execute and for all we know they are linked to (or load) crypto/openssl or some other dependency and might fail even for a simple -h. Imagine a custom build of wrk that's dynamically linked to a custom library and needs a path in LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

I could take these out but it seems appropriate to me to just inherit the environment in all of our external tool exec in the test suite.

I totally agree that the tools should inherit the environment. What I meant is that the environment is inherited by default, unless you set values for the env option, so { env: process.env } is redundant. I don't mind it either way.

Side note, and possibly a good first contribution: the child_process docs could do a better job pointing out that process.env is the default. Right now, you have to read a lot of text to see that. IMO, it should be part of the option description, like it is for most of the other options.

@cjihrig gotcha, so I've gone overkill here and it's only the single fork() that needs the adjustment, will remove these, thanks for pointing this out

This is related cause I changed this file. Something about the environment slipping in to cause DNS failures? I'm not sure about this one.

fixed windows problem, it was the basic TestDouble benchmark that was using path as an environment variable passed to the child via fork() to use as a URL for an http client call... Getting conflicted with PATH on Windows I believe. I've updated that to use test_url instead and removed a couple of unused env vars while I was there.

PTAL @cjihrig @refack @gireeshpunathil @gibfahn and I'll get this landed
