Openjdk-infrastructure: test-aws-ubuntu1804-armv8-1 missing language dependency for test

[M-Davies]

https://github.com/eclipse/openj9/issues/9042

Test java/util/Locale/LocaleCategory.java has been failing on this machine due to a system language issue.

See https://github.com/eclipse/openj9/issues/9042#issuecomment-611503587. It appears to be the LANG variable that is one factor that is causing this test to fail.

However, it is likely not the only factor.LANG is set to C.UTF-8 (the same LANG setting as test-aws-ubuntu1804-armv8-1) on cent7-aarch64-1 and the test passes. The purpose of this issue is to determine if there is something missing in the dependencies of this machine that is causing this test to fail and, if not, discuss setting the LANG variable to en_US.UTF-8 OR en_GB.UTF-8 to resolve the issue.

@Haroon-Khel Can you take a look at this and see if there's anything obvious that might be missing on test-aws-ubuntu1804-armv8-1 (34.243.202.254) - Hopefully that failure will be easy enough to reproduce when you're logged in.

I was able to recreate the test error locally on test-aws-ubuntu1804-armv8-1. I cant find anything obvious thats missing on the machine. Even after running the Locales tasks, from the unix playbook, the test continues to fail. Continuing to investigate

When I ran this LocaleCategory test on test-aws-ubuntu1804-armv8-1, its .jtr file contains the following lines -- There is no -Duser.language=en in the command line:

cd /home/konno/openjdk-tests/TKG/test_output_15864301552922/jdk_util_j9_0/work/scratch/6 && \\
HOME=/home/konno \\
LANG=C.UTF-8 \\
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin \\
(... skip ...)
        -Duser.language.display=ja \\
        -Duser.language.format=zh \\
        com.sun.javatest.regtest.agent.MainWrapper /home/konno/openjdk-tests/TKG/test_output_15864301552922/jdk_util_j9_0/work/java/util/Locale/LocaleCategory.d/main.0.jta
result: Failed. Execution failed: `main' threw exception: java.util.IllformedLocaleException: Ill-formed language: c.u [at index 0]

On the other hand, the .jtr file on cent7-aarch64-1 looks like this, and the test passes because there is -Duser.language=en in it:

cd /home/jenkins/konno/openjdk-tests/TKG/test_output_15848773744616/jdk_util_0/work/scratch/7 && \\
HOME=/home/jenkins \\
LANG=C \\
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin \\
(... skip ...)
        -Duser.language=en \\
        -Duser.language.display=ja \\
        -Duser.language.format=zh \\
        com.sun.javatest.regtest.agent.MainWrapper /home/jenkins/konno/openjdk-tests/TKG/test_output_15848773744616/jdk_util_0/work/java/util/Locale/LocaleCategory.d/main.1.jta
result: Passed. Execution successful

The LANG environment variable for the user is C.UTF-8 by default in both environments, while the .jtr file on cent7-aarch64-1 says LANG=C instead of C.UTF-8.

If you manually change LANG on test-aws-ubuntu1804-armv8-1 to en_US.UTF-8 for example, the test passes as expected.

[Haroon-Khel]

@knn-k You're right. On test-aws-ubuntu1804-armv8-1, I have set the LANG variable to en_US.UTF-8 in /etc/default/locale and the test passes. @M-Davies is it safe to say this issue can be closed?

[Haroon-Khel]

Odd, the test passes locally but still fails in the grinder with the original error

A possible issue, looks like the machine was connected to jenkins on April 1st and this is an environment setting change. I believe you need to disconnect the client from jenkins and reconnect to pick up the environment change.

[Haroon-Khel]

@sxa If this is the case, then could you disconnect and reconnect the machine please?

[sxa]

Done - agent relaunched on test-aws-ubuntu1804-armv8-1 :-)

[Haroon-Khel]

Ayy the test passes https://ci.adoptopenjdk.net/view/Test_grinder/job/Grinder/2904/testReport/java_util_Locale_LocaleCategory/java/LocaleCategory/

Closing issue.
