This implements support for mounting and unmounting volumes backed by volume plugins. Support for actually retrieving plugins requires a pull request to land in containers.conf and then that to be vendored, and as such is not yet ready. Given this, this code is only compile tested. However, the code for everything past retrieving the plugin has been written - there is support for creating, removing, mounting, and unmounting volumes, which should allow full functionality once the c/common PR is merged. A major change is the signature of the MountPoint function for volumes, which now, by necessity, returns an error. Named volumes managed by a plugin do not have a mountpoint we control; instead, it is managed entirely by the plugin. As such, we need to cache the path in the DB, and calls to retrieve it now need to access the DB (and may fail as such). Notably absent is support for SELinux relabelling and chowning these volumes. Given that we don't manage the mountpoint for these volumes, I am extremely reluctant to try and modify it - we could easily break the plugin trying to chown or relabel it. Also, we had no less than *5* separate implementations of inspecting a volume floating around in pkg/infra/abi and pkg/api/handlers/libpod. And none of them used volume.Inspect(), the only correct way of inspecting volumes. Remove them all and consolidate to using the correct way. Compat API is likely still doing things the wrong way, but that is an issue for another day. Fixes #4304 Signed-off-by: Matthew Heon <matthew.heon@pm.me>
API v2 tests
This directory contains tests for the podman version 2 API (HTTP).
Tests themselves are in files of the form 'NN-NAME.at' where NN is a two-digit number, NAME is a descriptive name, and '.at' is just an extension I picked.
Running Tests
The main test runner is test-apiv2. Usage is:
$ sudo ./test-apiv2 [NAME [...]]
...where NAME is one or more optional test names, e.g. 'image' or 'pod'
or both. By default, test-apiv2 will invoke all *.at tests.
test-apiv2 connects to localhost only and via TCP. There is
no support here for remote hosts or for UNIX sockets. This is a
framework for testing the API, not all possible protocols.
test-apiv2 will start the service if it isn't already running.
Writing Tests
The main test function is t. It runs curl against the server,
with POST parameters if present, and compares return status and
(optionally) string results from the server:
t GET /_ping 200 OK
^^^ ^^^^^^ ^^^ ^^
| | | +--- expected string result
| | +------- expected return code
| +-------------- endpoint to access
+------------------ method (GET, POST, DELETE, HEAD)
t POST libpod/volumes/create name=foo 201 .ID~[0-9a-f]\\{12\\}
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^ ^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| | | JSON '.ID': expect 12-char hex
| | +-- expected code
| +----------- POST params
+--------------------------------- note the missing slash
Notes:
-
If the endpoint has a leading slash (
/_ping),tleaves it unchanged. If there's no leading slash,tprepends/v1.40. This is a simple convenience for simplicity of writing tests. -
When method is POST, the argument after the endpoint must be a series of POST arguments in the form 'key=value', separated by commas.
twill convert those to JSON form for passing to the server. -
The final arguments are one or more expected string results. If an argument starts with a dot,
twill invokejqon the output to fetch that field, and will compare it to the right-hand side of the argument. If the separator is=(equals),twill require an exact match; if~(tilde),twill useexprto compare.
