These libraries depend on the logging module, so add the right
dependency log_headers. Indirectly, this will fulfill the condition of
T. I consider the prior usage of generate_T or {T_LIB} incorrect,
because basically none of these libraries actually, actively use T, but
rather only the logging module, which pulls in T. The dependency of
log_headers will also take care of generating and including T headers,
which is a dependency of the logging module.
For conf2uedata and related, fulfill the dependency
through conf2uedata_lib (on which the rest depends).
The CI fails sometimes, because some processes/threads are created in
unpredictable order and if the client connects before the server is
ready some tests fail, as seen in the following log:
[UTIL] client/server iq-samples: launch sub-processes
[UTIL] threadCreate() for time client: creating thread (no affinity, default priority)
[UTIL] time manager configuration: [time source: server] [mode: client] [server IP: 127.0.0.1} [server port: 7374]
[UTIL] time client: connection to 127.0.0.1:7374 failed, try again in 1s
[UTIL] threadCreate() for time source iq samples: creating thread (no affinity, default priority)
[UTIL] threadCreate() for time server: creating thread (no affinity, default priority)
[UTIL] time manager configuration: [time source: iq_samples] [mode: server] [server IP: 127.0.0.1} [server port: 7374]
[UTIL] client/server: rlc ticks: 1000 pdcp ticks: 1000 x2ap ticks: 1000
CMDLINE: "/oai-ran/build/common/utils/time_manager/tests/test_time_manager_auto" "--time_management.mode" "server" "--time_management.time_source" "iq_samples"
[UTIL] client/server: rlc ticks: 0 pdcp ticks: 0 x2ap ticks: 0
CMDLINE: "/oai-ran/build/common/utils/time_manager/tests/test_time_manager_auto" "--time_management.mode" "client"
[UTIL] client-server iq-samples: ERROR
The client/server iq-samples test is started.
Then we see this log:
[UTIL] time manager configuration: [time source: server] [mode: client] [server IP: 127.0.0.1} [server port: 7374]
Which means that the client is running.
It tries to connect to the server (not running yet), but fails, so sleeps
for 1 second before attempting another connection to the server:
[UTIL] time client: connection to 127.0.0.1:7374 failed, try again in 1s
The sleep is done by the time_client thread, the main thread of the test
program continues and does a sleep(1).
Then the server arrives:
[UTIL] time manager configuration: [time source: iq_samples] [mode: server] [server IP: 127.0.0.1} [server port: 7374]
It sends all the ticks (to no client, since the client is still sleeping).
Then the test is over, the sleep(1) of the client finishes and the program
exits. The client never connected to the server.
We have this log:
[UTIL] client/server: rlc ticks: 0 pdcp ticks: 0 x2ap ticks: 0
And the test fails.
It's complicated to write an automatic test involving several uncoordinated
programs. The operating system may create processes in any order. We use
some sleeping to wait, but it may be too short or too long, leading to test
failure.
Let's see with more sleep if the CI fails less.
