#!/bin/bash
# 
# this shell script provides commands to the common diag system. It enables
# test scripts to wait for certain conditions and initiate certain actions.
# needs support in config file.
# NOTE: this file should be included with ". diag.sh", as it otherwise is
# not always able to convey back states to the upper-level test driver
# begun 2009-05-27 by rgerhards
# This file is part of the rsyslog project, released under GPLv3
#
# This file can be customized to environment specifics via environment
# variables:
# SUDO		either blank, or the command to use for sudo (usually "sudo").
#		This env var is sometimes used to increase the chance that we
#		get extra information, e.g. when trying to analyze running
#		processes. Bottom line: if sudo is possible and you are OK with
#		the testbench utilizing this, use
#		export SUDO=sudo
#		to activate the extra functionality.
# RS_SORTCMD    Sort command to use (must support $RS_SORT_NUMERIC_OPT option). If unset,
#		"sort" is used. E.g. Solaris needs "gsort"
# RS_SORT_NUMERIC_OPT option to use for numerical sort, If unset "-g" is used.
# RS_CMPCMD     cmp command to use. If unset, "cmd" is used.
#               E.g. Solaris needs "gcmp"
# RS_HEADCMD    head command to use. If unset, "head" is used.
#               E.g. Solaris needs "ghead"
# RSTB_GLOBAL_INPUT_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT
#		global input timeout shutdown, default 60000 (60) sec. This should
#		only be set specifically if there is good need to do so, e.g. if
#		a test needs to timeout.
# USE_VALGRIND  if set to "YES", the test will be run under valgrind control, with
#               "default" settings (memcheck including leak check, termination on error).
#		This permits to have valgrind and non-valgrind versions of the same test
#		without the need to write it twice: just have a 2-liner -vg.sh which
#		does:
#			export USE_VALGRIND="YES"
#			source original-test.sh
#		sample can be seen in imjournal-basic[.vg].sh
#		You may also use USE_VALGRIND="YES-NOLEAK" to request valgrind without
#		leakcheck (this sometimes is needed).
# ABORT_ALL_ON_TEST_FAIL
#		if set to "YES" and one test fails, all others are not executed but skipped.
#		This is useful in long-running CI jobs where we are happy with seeing the
#		first failure (to save time).
#
#
# EXIT STATES
# 0 - ok
# 1 - FAIL
# 77 - SKIP
# 100 - Testbench failure
export TB_ERR_TIMEOUT=101
# 177 - internal state: test failed, but in a way that makes us strongly believe
#       this is caused by environment. This will lead to exit 77 (SKIP), but report
#       the failure if failure reporting is active

# environment variables:
# USE_AUTO_DEBUG "on" --> enables automatic debugging, anything else
#                turns it off

# diag system internal environment variables
# these variables are for use by test scripts - they CANNOT be
# overridden by the user
# TCPFLOOD_EXTRA_OPTS   enables to set extra options for tcpflood, usually
#                       used in tests that have a common driver where it
#                       is too hard to set these options otherwise

# kafka special wait function: we wait for the output file in order

# that actually need it.
kafka_wait_group_coordinator() {
echo We are waiting for kafka/zookeeper being ready to deliver messages

Non-existence of $RSYSLOG_OUT_LOG can be caused
by a problem inside zookeeper. If debug output in the receiver is enabled, one
may see this message:

\"GroupCoordinator response error: Broker: Group coordinator not available\"

In this case you may want to do a web search and/or have a look at
    https://github.com/edenhill/librdkafka/issues/799

The question, of course, is if there is nevertheless a problem in imkafka.
Usually, the wait we do inside the testbench is sufficient to handle all
Zookeeper/Kafka startup. So if the issue reoccurs, it is suggested to enable
debug output in the receiver and check for actual problems.
