Hello,

I am patching a bug in ob-octave.el (see attachment) involving the
creation of graphics files. The bug itself is easy to fix: a single line
in ob-octave.el ensures the special variable `ans' is bound, to prevent
Octave from exiting with a non-zero exit code.

However, I would like feedback/suggestions on writing such a
test. Issues include:

1. how to clean up the side-effects, including changes in the test
   buffer, filesystem and potentially creating an error buffer;
2. the general absence of similar tests (except in test-ob.el,
   test-ob/result-graphics-link-type-header-argument).

To address 1., I have wrapped the tests in an `unwind-protect' form to
ensure clean-up code gets run. The ERT manual does not suggest much
beyond this. At the moment, when the test is run, clean-up is being done
whether the test fails or passes.

I am unsure about 2. Is the absence of such tests because there is a
policy against them, or ...

Leo

As you did, we generally use unwind-protect. Also, we prefer putting
temporary files into temporary directory.

You can grep for `make-temp-file' and `delete-file' in tests. There are
plenty of examples.

We have no such policy. In fact, many tests are making
temporary files.

Ihor,
Thanks for your feeback and the pointer. I have revised the tests and
attach the revised patch.

Thanks!

Note that your patch is over 15LOC, which exceeds legally allowed
contribution size for people without copyright assignment.

Would you be interested to sign the copyright assignment form and send
it to FSF? See https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html#copyright
for details. The process usually takes a few days on FSF side (they are
obliged to reply within 5 working days).

Below are some comments.

Is there any reason why %S but not %s?

By convention, we use double space in distributed Org files and ~code~
for symbol markup. See doc/Documentation_Standards.org.

(It is not strictly necessary here, but would be nice to be consistent)

It would be more clear to use `file-attribute-size' instead of `nth'.

`should-not' would be a bit more succinct.

Yes, I have done that. I did the paperwork about 10 years ago, but I
cannot find it and, except for my name, all other details have changed.

That is a good point. Both should be %S. This change is part of the

  -Ensure that the special Octave variable `ans' is bound when
  GFX-FILE is non-nil.  The glue code in
  ORG-BABEL-OCTAVE-WRAPPER-METHOD causes Octave to exit with a
  non-zero exit code when `ans' is not bound.

  -add a remark about where to find each test.

* testing/lisp/test-ob-octave.el:

  Add the three tests ob-octave/graphics-file,
  ob-octave/graphics-file-session and ob-octave/graphics-file-session.
  The first test verifies that the first bug identified above is
  fixed; it also verifies that graphics file creation works correctly
  for scripting.  The second test verifies graphics file creation
  works correctly for sessions.  The third test verifies that a
  graphics filename with a space in it is created correctly.

Thanks to Ihor Radchenko for helpful feedback.

Thanks for the patch!
It looks good, and the tests are passing. However, there is a side effect
leaving testing/examples/octave-workspace file after running the tests.

Can something be done about this?

Yes, sorry about that, I should have caught that while testing the
patch. the amended patch (attached) prevents Octave from dumping a core
file when running the :session test.

Best,

Subject: [PATCH] prevent error in Octave process, add tests, update test docs

* lisp/ob-octave.el (org-babel-execute:octave):

  -Ensure that the special Octave variable `ans' is bound when
  GFX-FILE is non-nil.  The glue code in
  ORG-BABEL-OCTAVE-WRAPPER-METHOD causes Octave to exit with a
  non-zero exit code when `ans' is not bound.

  -Change format control string to %S from %s.  Ensure the graphics
  filename is quoted.  If it is not, Octave may create a mis-named
  file or fail entirely.

* testing/examples/ob-octave-test.org:

  Update the Graphical tests section:
  -put in the correct headers;
  -add a remark about where to find each test.

* testing/lisp/test-ob-octave.el:

  Add the three tests ob-octave/graphics-file,
  ob-octave/graphics-file-session and ob-octave/graphics-file-space.

  -ob-octave/graphics-file: The first test verifies that the first bug
  identified above is fixed; it also verifies that graphics file
  creation works correctly for scripting.

  -ob-octave/graphics-file-session: The second test verifies graphics
  file creation works correctly for sessions.  The Octave command
  `crash_dumps_octave_core(0)' is included to prevent the creation of
  a core file (`octave-workspace').

  -ob-octave/graphics-file-space: The third test verifies that a
  graphics filename with a space in it is created correctly.

Thanks to Ihor Radchenko for helpful feedback.

Your patch appears to not work in some environments:

https://builds.sr.ht/~bzg/job/906710

Any ideas?

Note that the tests are failing only partially. The graphics file does
get created, but it has 0 size for some reason. Maybe something to do
with non-graphical CI environment.

I disabled the tests for the time being until we figure out what is
going on.

There is a race condition between writing the contents of the graphics
file to disk and emacs checking the file size. My guess is that this is
causing the problem (and that the same failure applies for emacs-2{6,7},
since only the emacs-28 reports the exact test failure).

That's pretty crude. Here are a couple thoughts:

- Is there a way to detect that the tests are running in this CI
  environment? We could use that to skip the file-size test selectively.
- Alternatively, we could remove the file-size test entirely.

Either option seems better than not running the tests at all.

Maybe we can just add several `sleep-for' calls to the test?

That's temporary solution to not make CI flood me with failure emails
several times a day.

I just did this. Let's see if CI errs again.

Apparently, `sleep-for' 1 second was not enough, and I decided to remove
checking file size completely.

Upon doing this, another failure popped up. This time, it looks like an
actual Elisp issue:

https://builds.sr.ht/~bzg/job/914954
2 unexpected results:
   FAILED  ob-octave/graphics-file  ((should-not (get-buffer "*Org-Babel
   Error Output*")) :form (get-buffer "*Org-Babel Error Output*") :value
   #<killed buffer>) 
   FAILED  ob-octave/graphics-file-space  ((should-not (get-buffer
   "*Org-Babel Error Output*")) :form (get-buffer "*Org-Babel Error
   Output*") :value #<killed buffer>) 

As you can see *Org-Babel Error Output* buffer does not exist when
running the test.

Leo, could you please take a look?

Hello Ihor,

Is there an environment variable that could be used to determine is the
tests are being run on sourcehut? This would let us cut out that test on
sourcehut, while still keeping it elsewhere.

An earlier test is creating that *Org Babel Error Output* buffer. That
is killed on the first test, before the test is actually run. But
GET-BUFFER behaves in an undocumented way: it returns a non-nil value,
#<killed buffer>. To remedy that, I have wrapped the calls in
BUFFER-LIVE-P.

See the attached patch.

Leo

No, we have nothing like this.

In theory, we can bind something in
https://git.sr.ht/~bzg/org-mode-tests/tree/master/item/.builds/init.el,
but I am not sure if it is a good idea.

The tests are failing not because something wrong in the CI machine, but
simply because CI machine is slow. You can get similar issue when
running Org tests on an actual proper old PC or simply when someone is
running CPU-heavy process alongside with Org tests.

So, I do not think that creating exceptions for CI is a good idea.

This is not undocumented. The killed buffers still exists as Elisp
objects:

28.10 Killing Buffers
=====================

“Killing a buffer” makes its name unknown to Emacs and makes the memory
space it occupied available for other use.

   The buffer object for the buffer that has been killed remains in
existence as long as anything refers to it, but it is specially marked
so that you cannot make it current or display it.  Killed buffers retain
their identity, however; if you kill two distinct buffers, they remain
distinct according to ‘eq’ although both are dead.

I will try to look into improving the tests so that we can trap the test(s)
that is(are) creating that error buffer.

Thanks, for pointing that out. I was relying on the docstring for
GET-BUFFER. I see that I should have looked at the Elisp
manual. Apologies.

And still not enough...
Though this time it does not look like our fault:

https://builds.sr.ht/~bzg/job/918602
3 unexpected results:
   FAILED  ob-octave/graphics-file  ((should-not (buffer-live-p (get-buffer "*Org-Babel Error Output*"))) :form (buffer-live-p #<killed buffer>) :value t)
   FAILED  ob-octave/graphics-file-space  ((should-not (buffer-live-p
   (get-buffer "*Org-Babel Error Output*"))) :form (buffer-live-p
   #<killed buffer>) :value t)

I filed a bug report to Emacs:

See the attachment. There are four test failures that are currently
untrapped. I also see the `buffer-live-p' bug.

It looks like `buffer-live-p' is not a bug, but rather the result of
backtrace being printed upon executing `kill-buffer' in unwind-protect
form from the test body: (1) test fails; (2) unwind-protect executes
kill-buffer; (3) backtrace is printed with "killed" buffer object.

So, the test failure is real.

Yes, that seems reasonable.

Ihor,

How do you want to treat the patch that was included? I think we should
have something like that to catch errors like these. And the failing
tests should be marked as known failures (that need to be fixed,
obviously). I note that both failures 3 & 4 are related to org's
built-in features.

Leo

Are you referring to "failures" in your attachment?
I think that your expectation is wrong here. Org does not clear the
"*Org-Babel Error Output*" buffer upon running next src block during
Emacs session - it is a good thing when you run multiple src blocks and
want to see the errors/warnings produced.

So, if we want to do some definitive assertions about "*Org-Babel Error
Output*", we could kill "*Org-Babel Error Output*" (if any) before
running the test that checks this buffer.

As for ob-octave failures, I suspect that octave throws some warnings on
CI machine. I currently don't have podman setup to run CI tests locally
- you may try to play with the problematic ob-octave tests to identify
the problem as described in https://git.sr.ht/~bzg/org-mode-tests/

The error buffer contents when the test fails is the following:

warning: using the gnuplot graphics toolkit is discouraged

The gnuplot graphics toolkit is not actively maintained and has a number
of limitations that are unlikely to be fixed.  Communication with gnuplot
uses a one-directional pipe and limited information is passed back to the
Octave interpreter so most changes made interactively in the plot window
will not be reflected in the graphics properties managed by Octave.  For
example, if the plot window is closed with a mouse click, Octave will not
be notified and will not update its internal list of open figure windows.
The qt toolkit is recommended instead.
         line 0: warning: iconv failed to convert degree sign
error: ignoring const execution_exception& while preparing to exit
[ Babel evaluation exited with code 0 ]

Exit code is 0, so octave does finish.

Hence, test assertion that
(should-not (buffer-live-p (get-buffer "*Org-Babel Error Output*")))
does not appear to be accurate.

Leo, should we simply remove the assertion?

This is not being caused by a faulty test.

The default graphics toolkit for octave is not gnuplot. To get that
warning, the graphics toolkit needs to be set to gnuplot. But, that is
not done in those tests, so where/how is that happening?

This warning makes no sense to me.

I guess it depends on what is meant by `accurate'. Those warnings make
me think that the test is running in a mis-configured environment.

Ok.

I would really like to understand why the two tests are failing on
sourcehut (but not the one that creates a session), but I can understand
your viewpoint.

CI machine is running Debian. AFAIU, gnuplot toolkit is default in
octave distributed with Debian.

We do not do anything special wrt configuration:

Just a guess. Some code creates a plot with the "°" character, but 
worker locale is ASCII, not UTF-8 (en_US.UTF-8, C.UTF-8, etc.)

I decided to remove the assertion from the tests.
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs/org-mode.git/commit/?id=59228e51345ab522d9db611c8e73caa078d86d2f

While there could be a value in making sure that ob-octave calls octave
without generating errors, it is not strictly what the test is checking
for.

Moreover, we currently have no reliable way to disambiguate mere
warnings from non-zero exit code.

Yes, as I said in a previous email, I can live with that.

The origin of the errors that you documented is not, I believe, due to
either of the causes suggested by either Max or you. But, investigating
obscure test failures like this is probably not the best expenditure of
time and effort.

Best regards,
Leo
