xUnit test reports broken on Ubuntu slaves
100%
Description
It's simply not working. Nothing is published on the build page (e.g. http://jenkins.named-data.net/job/NFD/4165/OS=Ubuntu-14.04-64bit/), and the console output shows xUnit-related errors towards the end.
[xUnit] [INFO] - Starting to record.
[xUnit] [INFO] - Processing BoostTest-1.x (default)
[xUnit] [INFO] - [BoostTest-1.x (default)] - No test report file(s) were found with the pattern 'build/xunit*.xml' relative to '/home/jenkins/workspace/NFD/OS/Ubuntu-14.04-64bit' for the testing framework 'BoostTest-1.x (default)'. Did you enter a pattern relative to the correct directory? Did you generate the result report(s) for 'BoostTest-1.x (default)'?
[xUnit] [WARNING] - No test reports found for the metric 'BoostTest' with the resolved pattern 'build/xunit*.xml'.
[xUnit] [INFO] - Skipping the metric tool processing.
[xUnit] [INFO] - There are errors when processing test results.

This issue affects all Ubuntu slaves. OSX slaves do not seem to be affected.

The current Jenkins scripts run the unit tests with the "--log_sink2" option. However, I could find no documentation of this option and this command produced no output to the reference file when I ran it manually. When I removed the '2', changing the option to "--log_sink" (which is documented), the output appears to be produced correctly.

It appears that the "--log_format2" option needs to be changed to "--log_format" as well. I'm currently compiling a list of projects affected by this issue.

That doesn't explain why OS X slaves are unaffected...

--log_format2 and --log_sink2 are custom options, added by us, see https://github.com/named-data/NFD/blob/master/tests/main.cpp

Is $XUNIT set in the jenkins environment? (https://github.com/named-data/NFD/blob/master/.jenkins.d/20-tests.sh#L28)

The logging options are only included on the command line if that's the case. It's set in the build shell like so:
XUNIT=1 ./.jenkins
I looked at the help for the unit tests (unit-tests-core --help) and both --log_sink2 and --log_format2 are not listed. As such, I don't believe our customizations are being compiled into the tests on Ubuntu.
@Alex Could you post the help message from one of the OS X nodes for comparison?

That's expected I think, only Boost.Test built-in options are shown in --help output. However, note the following behavior:
davide@ndnbox:~/NFD$ ./build/unit-tests-core --log_sink2
ERROR: the required argument for option '--log_sink2' is missing
--log_format2 arg Type of second log formatter: HRF or XML
--log_sink2 arg (=-) Second log sink, - for stdout
Test setup error: std::runtime_error: test module initialization failed
davide@ndnbox:~/NFD$ ./build/unit-tests-core -- --log_sink2
Running 63 test cases...

Seems to be a regression introduced in NFD commit 3152abac673382b13c39e7df46d830ec9abfc3e0. Other projects are very likely affected as well. Reassigning to Alex, author of the commit.

- Related to Bug #3417: Boost 1.60 breaks secondary log output in unit tests added
Updated by Alex Afanasyev over 8 years ago
Huh.. For Boost < 1.60, we need to move -- in the command line :(. How did I not notice it in the original issue.
Should we make a fix as a separate commit(s)?

meh, do we need yet another conditional in the CI script? is there no way to have a command line compatible with all versions?

I'm confused, separate from what?

I thought -- would be a compatible syntax. But from what I see, the old version, simply ignores everything after -- and the new version will complain for any non-standard parameter before --

And boost 1.62.0 (should be released in a few weeks) will change things again...

Updated by Alex Afanasyev over 8 years ago
So, the good part of the new change is that we would not need any custom code to have multiple output types. The bad part that we will need 3 customized ways to run the unit tests... One for old boost, one for boost 1.60-1.61, and finally for boost >1.62.
I'll try to make a try for this.

- Status changed from In Progress to Code review
https://gerrit.named-data.net/#/c/3128/, but it needs a test with boost 1.62 as soon as it is released (should be very soon) or at least with release candidates.
