#openstack-nova - 2020-11-06
15:33:17 bauzas when starting the compute service ?
15:33:41 lyarwood from this module that iirc stops the service eventually yes
15:33:44 lyarwood if rbd is used
15:34:26 bauzas the above try/catch is made at import time, not runtime
15:34:57 bauzas so unless we fail ungracefully there, we do check it at run time
15:35:06 lyarwood https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/c0fe95fcc5aec99a83dd57093dc230ef67b36b39/nova/storage/rbd_utils.py#L139-L140
15:35:32 bauzas ack, run time
15:35:43 bauzas and when we create the instancez
15:35:56 bauzas which, I suspect, is made at init
15:36:34 bauzas lyarwood: okay, so indeed, we're all good, but why couldn't we just make the imports being made at run time just before this check ?
15:37:05 lyarwood I'm reworking this now
15:39:13 lyarwood the only issue now is that we need to ignore F401 as the imports aren't directly used in __init__
15:44:00 bauzas lyarwood: why ?
15:44:07 bauzas I'm confused
15:44:54 bauzas hah, so you have a rados object which isn't used
15:45:10 lyarwood no idea, must be the way the pep8 rule is written, rados is used within the class but it's also saying that the import isn't used
15:45:27 lyarwood both imports are listed as not used
15:45:40 lyarwood I've #noqa'd the lines anyway
15:45:50 bauzas lyarwood: use the importlib module
15:46:11 sean-k-mooney stephenfin: test
15:46:26 stephenfin HexChat didn't crash \o/
15:46:37 openstackgerrit Lee Yarwood proposed openstack/nova master: rbd: Only log import failures when the RbdDriver is used https://review.opendev.org/761762
15:46:39 sean-k-mooney you should still lookinto weechat
15:46:49 sean-k-mooney but glad its working
15:46:58 stephenfin meh, I live the GUI in a separate window
15:47:27 dansmith lyarwood: that's much better, IMHO
15:47:46 lyarwood yup not sure what I was thinking the first time round
15:47:53 sean-k-mooney stephenfin: by the way https://review.opendev.org/#/q/topic:bug/1895220+(status:open+OR+status:merged) are ready for you to review again
15:48:04 sean-k-mooney they are still running in ci however
15:48:10 dansmith lyarwood: now I have to figure out what drug I can take to let me approve that without a test
15:48:36 lyarwood dansmith: hmm I can work something out now that it's in the class
15:48:38 dansmith lyarwood: I'm thinking it'll be hard to tickle the error case with a mock, so I should probably just let it go...
15:48:53 bauzas wait, you were having global objects
15:48:57 lyarwood true it's awkward
15:49:04 dansmith we used to use importutils more for stuff like that so we can mock that instead of the import keyword
15:49:08 bauzas here, you are making them class attributes
15:49:14 dansmith bauzas: no
15:49:16 bauzas dansmith: right, i just said it
15:49:40 lyarwood wait, the imports aren't global?
15:49:50 dansmith they are
15:49:55 openstackgerrit Artom Lifshitz proposed openstack/nova stable/train: Test for disabling greendns https://review.opendev.org/761763
15:49:59 bauzas lyarwood: importlib does the magic for you
15:50:17 bauzas or importutils, either way
15:50:52 dansmith the imports are global because if they really import, we'll have gotten them up top,
15:51:01 dansmith the import in the class is purely to generate the exception for logging
15:51:39 dansmith using an import helper would be good for the mocking case, but otherwise the noqa seems fine to me, as I'm sure it's just complaining about the unused variable
15:51:53 dansmith you might be able to avoid it with "import rbd as _rbd" but it doesn't matter
15:52:30 sean-k-mooney i think its an unused import rather then unsued varibale so not suer the as will fix it but noqa i think is still fine
15:52:45 sean-k-mooney preferably with a comment as to why its there
15:54:46 sean-k-mooney for what its worth i prefer not using importlib/utiles simply due to the grep factor e.g. if im grepin for import rbd i wont see it but it is cleaner to use there helpers
15:55:08 bauzas hmmmm
15:55:15 sean-k-mooney that not really important but its why i personlly dont tend to use it
15:55:19 bauzas my own test shows me that the import isn't global
15:55:33 sean-k-mooney bauzas: the import in the fuction is not the top levle one is
15:55:34 dansmith bauzas: the import is on L32
15:55:36 dansmith it's global
15:55:37 bauzas http://paste.openstack.org/show/799791/
15:55:37 lyarwood bauzas: the imports at the top of the file
15:55:57 lyarwood bauzas: we only retry these later in the class if the originals failed
15:56:23 dansmith this ^
15:56:29 sean-k-mooney and that is to get the reason it failed
15:56:29 bauzas lyarwood: right, so my purpose is to say that if you weren't able to import them at import time, you will get them at run time but only within the class namespace
15:56:47 dansmith bauzas: no, we won't import them at runtime either
15:57:06 bauzas I maybe missed the point then
15:57:08 lyarwood so we raise
15:57:18 lyarwood L139
15:57:21 bauzas oh, that's just for logging purpose ?
15:57:24 dansmith bauzas: the point is not to "try again", the point is to generate the import exception just for logging
15:57:24 lyarwood right
15:57:35 bauzas hah, ok
15:57:46 bauzas hence the F401
15:57:55 bauzas because the local import wasn't used
15:58:00 sean-k-mooney its something danpb suggested wehn we were trying to figure out why imports didnt work
15:58:23 bauzas lyarwood: but fwiw, imports aren't global
15:58:25 sean-k-mooney we think it was due to memory issues in the custoemr env since the had a bunc of OOM issue at the time
15:58:32 sean-k-mooney but we dont have any logs to say
15:58:46 sean-k-mooney bauzas: import happen in your current scope
15:58:50 openstackgerrit Lee Yarwood proposed openstack/nova master: rbd: Only log import failures when the RbdDriver is used https://review.opendev.org/761762
15:59:00 bauzas sean-k-mooney: right, that's what I said
15:59:09 sean-k-mooney so if you are at global scope they are if you are in function scope tehy are just in that scope
15:59:26 sean-k-mooney although that is only half though
15:59:29 sean-k-mooney *true
15:59:40 bauzas either way
15:59:56 sean-k-mooney the modul is actully imported gloablly including inialising all its global state it just made available in your local scope
16:00:14 sean-k-mooney if you import it somewere else that modules globalse state is still there
16:00:27 bauzas ok, the docstring helps
16:01:08 bauzas dansmith: honestly, I won't bother for tests here
16:02:00 dansmith lyarwood: couple comments on your comments
16:02:42 dansmith bauzas: well, I understand but a typo in a log message in an exception handler really defeats the point of the helper.. but I'd rather get it fixed than complicate it for testability
16:03:28 bauzas dansmith: fwiw I agree with your comments
16:04:03 bauzas I guess we need both rbd and rados modules to be present in order to work
16:04:18 bauzas so only one exception catch should be enough
16:04:51 dansmith ...like in the actual import.. I'm not sure why it's split in the original change or this one, but maybe lyarwood has a reason
16:07:09 lyarwood yeah I don't recall why, likely just leaving specific breadcrumbs but that's part of the issue with the first patch so I'll merge them back togther now
16:07:22 bauzas I guess because the log is different
16:07:32 dansmith sure, but the exception trace will tell you which one
16:07:40 bauzas yup, I was able to tell it
16:13:16 openstackgerrit Lee Yarwood proposed openstack/nova master: rbd: Only log import failures when the RbdDriver is used https://review.opendev.org/761762
16:14:21 dansmith gibi: ^
16:14:29 gibi looking..
