CI: split supervisord config depending on job, make all shell scripts strict

Roman Azarenko requested to merge ci-supervisord-move-wifimngr into devel

Functional testing (both regular and API) relies on starting some services through supervisord. The set of services, however, is different between regular and API functional testing.

For instance, functional testing does not expect wifimngr to run through supervisord, but instead executes it separately. API test, on the other hand, expects supervisord to start wifimngr. The supervisord configuration file, however, was the same for both instances.

At the time when regular functional test reloads supervisord configuration, the wifimngr executable hasn't been compiled yet, and supervisord reports the following:

ubusd: added process group
wifimngr: added process group
ubusd                            RUNNING   pid 285, uptime 0:00:03
wifimngr                         FATAL     Exited too quickly (process log may have details)

The supervisord log file then contains this:

valgrind: /builds/iopsys/wifimngr/wifimngr: No such file or directory

which is expected, since wifimngr hasn't been compiled yet.

  • In supervisord v3.x, the abovementioned fatal error still results in a zero return code of supervisorctl status all. The error thus goes unnoticed, and the pipeline continues.
  • In supervisord v4.x, supervisorctl status all correctly exits with a non-zero exit code, thus interrupting the script and failing the pipeline.

The solution here is to have dedicated configuration for regular and API functional testing, where regular functional testing doesn't use supervisord to manage wifimngr. There are multiple ways to approach this (two complete configs, config per process etc). I picked two complete configs for simplicity, but this can be changed later.
