[qe-core][opensuse] test fails in php_mysql: check_version('>=10.4') treats version 10.10 as 'lower'

Description

Observation

Mariadb was updated to version 10.10. openQA now reports authentication failures in the php_mysql tests.
The issue seems to be that this code returns the wrong outcome:

    my $mysql_version = script_output qq{mysql -sN -u root -e "SELECT VERSION();"};
    if (check_version('>=10.4', $mysql_version)) {
        # MariaDB changed the default authentication method since version 10.4
        # https://mariadb.org/authentication-in-mariadb-10-4/
        # https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1165151
        my $mysql_root_password = "ALTER USER root\@localhost IDENTIFIED VIA mysql_native_password USING PASSWORD(\'\');";
        assert_script_run qq{mysql -u root -e "$mysql_root_password"};
    }
    record_info($mysql_version);

So, openQA knows that when a version >= 10.4 is in use, we need to set a root password; but check_version treats 10.10 as < 10.4

Suggestions

  • Start by adding the test case in the unit tests for check_version
  • Consider depending more on version module to properly parse versions.

The problem is not that we don't use the Version module, but instead that we use it. Also that the check_version function is bugged and hasn't failed so far by pure luck.

The version module can't parse the form of the provided version (10.10.2-mariadb) from string to version. Instead of aborting or doing something else after the failure to parse (see the if_lax check on the code), check_version proceeds to compare the version strings. And of course, in string comparison 10.10 is smaller than 10.4 (alphabetic precedence).

A solution is to use zypper vcmp, which provides the correct result, if the conversion of string to version fails. Or only use zypper vcmp in the first place.

Created SR#1039112: osc sr devel:languages:perl:CPAN-S perl-SemVer devel:languages:perl
once that's accepted, SemVer needs to go to openSUSE:Factory, and to devel:openQA:Leap

if I got it correctly, the following commands are:

  • osc linkpac openSUSE:Factory perl-SemVer devel:openQA:Leap:15.4
  • osc sr openSUSE:Factory perl-SemVer openSUSE:Leap:15.4
  • osc sr openSUSE:Factory perl-SemVer openSUSE:Leap:15.5

Round two (possibly, the right way) to get the package into obs://devel:languages:perl:

# Branch the package to the home project
osc branch devel:languages:perl:CPAN-S perl-SemVer

# check it out, and go to it:
osc co home:szarate:branches:devel:languages:perl:CPAN-S/perl-SemVer
cd home\:szarate\:branches\:devel\:languages\:perl\:CPAN-S/perl-SemVer/ # because tab is magic!

# Edit the package metadata to add, Title, Description and URL nodes to the xml:
osc meta pkg -e # If you make mistakes, obs will be kind enough to let you know it can't accept the file and let you continue editing

# Create a .changes file and add it to the package's repository
osc vc
osc add perl-SemVer.changes

# Submit the package to the desired project:
osc sr devel:languages:perl
