`archive.extracted` fails for `.img.xz`

brianthelion commented 4 years ago

Description of Issue

A very vanilla archive.extracted state is failing for XZ archives.

First, with:

    ID: /tmp/vendor-images/ubuntu-18.04.3-preinstalled-server-arm64+raspi3/0b29297cf9f2a2112d634b1e29f94507
                                Function: archive.extracted
                                  Result: False
                                 Comment: Could not guess archive_format from the value of the 'source' argument. Please set this archive_format to one of the following: tar, rar, zip

                                 Changes:

And then with archive_type: zip set:

ID: /tmp/vendor-images/ubuntu-18.04.3-preinstalled-server-arm64+raspi3/0b29297cf9f2a2112d634b1e29f94507
                                Function: archive.extracted
                                  Result: False
                                 Comment: /var/cache/salt/minion/extrn_files/api/cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/bionic/release/ubuntu-18.04.3-preinstalled-server-arm64+raspi3.img.xz is not a ZIP file. Additional info follows:

                                          archive location:
                                              /var/cache/salt/minion/extrn_files/api/cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/bionic/release/ubuntu-18.04.3-preinstalled-server-arm64+raspi3.img.xz

                                          The following workarounds must be used for this state to proceed (assuming the source file is a valid zip archive):

                                          - 'if_missing' must be set
                                 Started: 17:54:50.135402

                                 Changes:

Setup

Run the bellow:

# unzip_state.sls
various_zip_packages:
  pkg.installed:
    - pkgs:
        - unzip
        - xz-utils

/tmp/vendor-images/ubuntu-18.04.3-preinstalled-server-arm64+raspi3/0b29297cf9f2a2112d634b1e29f94507:

    - source_hash: 0b29297cf9f2a2112d634b1e29f94507
    - archive_format: zip
    - require:
        - various_zip_packages

I just ran into this on 3001rc1, and it occurs even when I specify archive_format: tar. any ETA on getting this fixed?

The problem here is that ubuntu-18.04.3-preinstalled-server-arm64+raspi3.img.xz is not an "archive" file, such as the tar, zip, rar or cpio archive formats (although even cpio doesn't seem to be supported). Instead, it would only extract to a single file - ubuntu-18.04.3-preinstalled-server-arm64+raspi3.img. The image file may contain many files within, but that's only because you can mount it once extracted (since will probably contain a file system), but this is not a true archive format. Essentially it would be treated as a single file that just happens to be compressed.

I'm facing a similar issue. I was hoping I could use archive.extracted to extract /usr/share/doc/rsync/scripts/rrsync.gz, but that too isn't an archive file - it's just a single file (the rrsync Perl script) that is gzip-compressed. If it were rrsync.tar.gz, that would be a different story - but wrapping a single file into a tar "archive" would be redundant. Archives are only there to join multiple files together, and I only have a single file.

Perhaps if Salt's archive module were to be renamed "compression", adding this support would make more sense - and I would like to see this support added in some form. Alternatively, it might make more sense to just add the required new functionality into a separate module.

Browsing through the source code, I see xz-compressed archives (ie. .tar.xz files) are supported. Typically xz-compression would be used with tar archives to compress multiple files, since rar and zip archive formats have compression support built-in. By contrast, tar and cpio are pure archive formats and offer no compression, so need to be used with a separate compression library such as those for xz, bzip2, gzip, etc. This is because *NIX tools will typically follow the tradition of only doing one thing, and doing it well.

Probably this should be marked as not-a-bug/invalid, or alternatively marked as a feature request. In the meantime, you might want to use file.managed to fetch the file, and then something like this:

Extract /tmp/vendor-images/ubuntu-18.04.3-preinstalled-server-arm64+raspi3/0b29297cf9f2a2112d634b1e29f94507:
  cmd.run:
    - name: zcat /path/to/ubuntu-18.04.3-preinstalled-server-arm64+raspi3.img.xz > /tmp/vendor-images/ubuntu-18.04.3-preinstalled-server-arm64+raspi3/0b29297cf9f2a2112d634b1e29f94507
    - unless: test -s /tmp/vendor-images/ubuntu-18.04.3-preinstalled-server-arm64+raspi3/0b29297cf9f2a2112d634b1e29f94507
    - require:
      - file: Fetch ubuntu-18.04.3-preinstalled-server-arm64+raspi3.img.xz
