Today was successful. I was able to get the control plane to stop crashing and get the configuration tests to run to completion properly. The benchmark is written and reloading the configuration is so much faster than killing the irods server and starting it again.
Of course, that means it has limitations. Currently it is believed that the authentication modules do not work properly when the settings are changed. Honestly, this isn’t a very simple program, apache is way simpler than irods, especially in terms of the dependencies, and I’m skeptical that this can be made to work perfectly in all situations.
The problem I had yesterday was the control plane catching the SIGHUP signal and terminating the server. With that fixed, it’s working like a charm, all I need to do is see if we can replace some more of the calls to restart in the tests. Might even gain a percent off the tests 🙂
