feat: linux arm64 support & musl detection #502

Open YOU54F opened 1 month ago

YOU54F commented 1 month ago

Rationale

pact-reference has introduced musl and arm64 based ffi libraries for linux

Tracking Issue

Issues Resolved

fixes #498 fixes #496 fixes #500 fixes #374 fixes #387

Backwards Compatibility

Linux glibc based hosts take precedence, so if any error occurs during musl detection. I do not anticipate breaking changes for users

Implementation notes

.NET notes

Conditions for execution

musl detection will run if

will continue on error, reverting back to glibc based libaries.

Supported musl targets

should work for multiple musl based distroes if

Tested on Alpine ARM64 / AMD64.

Caveats

Compatibility

Operating System

Due to using a shared native library instead of C# for the main Pact logic only certain OSs are supported:

OS Arch Support
Windows x86 ❌ No
Windows x64 ✔️ Yes
Linux (libc) x86 ❌ No
Linux (libc) x64 ✔️ Yes
Linux (musl) x64 ✔️ Yes (Tier 2)*
Linux (libc) ARM ✔️ Yes (Tier 3)*
Linux (musl) ARM ✔️ Yes (Tier 3)*
OSX x64 ✔️ Yes
OSX ARM (M1/M2) ✔️ Yes

Support

There is some flakiness in the tests, I've had to rerun a couple, I've not ran enough jobs from master to see if this is something that has been introduced by this change, or an issue in the ffi lib or the test setup.

Hello! Just wondering if there is any information on when this will be merged / released. Many thanks :)

dileepbg commented 2 weeks ago

@YOU54F can you please let me know when this PR will be merged and released.?

YOU54F commented 2 weeks ago

hey its beyond my control as i am the contributor not the maintainer

adamrodger commented 2 weeks ago

It's been school holidays so I've been on vacation and I'm a bit behind. I'll review this properly tomorrow when I'm not on my phone, but my initial observations are:

YOU54F commented 2 weeks ago

we dont linux arm64 gh machines yet and dotnet wont run under qemu

tiered targets are literally the premise of the rust.

if we dont have ci, then a user cant raise a reproducible bug for that platform so it requires someone with that combo to reproduce.

people can argue than it should be supported but if we cant test it, it gets tricky, so we cant ask for all the good stuff reproducers and the like.

i dont get your argument. its open source software; no warranty implied or given

YOU54F commented 2 weeks ago

hope you had a nice hol,

yeah the csproj change looks huge but it’s actually quite small. we need to wrap a code block which shifts the change down and shows a large delta.

happy to annotate or walk you through the changes.

i was also to repro this against master and locally, but haven’t ascertained the cause yet

adamrodger commented 2 weeks ago

In terms of the technical change itself, that looks OK, and thanks for linking into some of the MS detection stuff so we can be sure we're being consistent. It needs some tidying up but I'll do that afterwards.

The two points above are still concerns though. Rust might have the concept of "tiered" support, but PactNet doesn't 😀 A user raising a bug still rightly wants their bug fixed. We can't really hide behind "sorry, it's open source". That doesn't stop me being tagged on issues and doesn't stop people repeatedly asking for updates.

In terms of the CI, it appears GitLab Actions plans to support ARM runners (source) so we can add proper support there later. It's probably worth splitting this into two separate changes instead of trying to tackle both musl and ARM at the same time, because x64 musl and ARM currently have different implications for support and CI. ARM can be added later once GHA supports it (like they do with Mac ARM runners now) and once we have a good answer for how to run it locally to reproduce issues, but x64 musl shouldn't have to wait for ARM support to be mature.

One additional thing that I'd like to see investigated first is what happens when you attempt to run on different versions of Alpine. We're just seeing Alpine 3.20 images starting to come through now, but 3.19 will be supported for a long time to come yet. For example, the official .Net images ship with both Alpine 3.19 and 3.20 variants at the moment. What happens if you try to use the library on 3.19 and 3.20? Do they both work or does one break?
