** Description changed:
[impact]
sosreport plugin(s) fail
[test case]
run sosreport, then extract the captured report and check the sos_logs
/logs-plugin-errors.txt file for output like:
Traceback (most recent call last):
- File "/usr/share/sosreport/sos/sosreport.py", line 1300, in collect
- plug.collect()
- File "/usr/share/sosreport/sos/plugins/__init__.py", line 877, in collect
- self._collect_strings()
- File "/usr/share/sosreport/sos/plugins/__init__.py", line 860, in
_collect_strings
- (content.splitlines()[0]).decode('utf8', 'ignore'))
+ File "/usr/share/sosreport/sos/sosreport.py", line 1300, in collect
+ plug.collect()
+ File "/usr/share/sosreport/sos/plugins/__init__.py", line 877, in collect
+ self._collect_strings()
+ File "/usr/share/sosreport/sos/plugins/__init__.py", line 860, in
_collect_strings
+ (content.splitlines()[0]).decode('utf8', 'ignore'))
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'
+
+
+ one of the ways to trigger this is for sosreport to gather a file that is
larger than its max size to gather, for example log files over its --log-size
limit. To reproduce this way, first make sure one or more of the
sosreport-gathered log files are over 1m, e.g. on a newly-installed system
(where log files are small) you could do this just to generate logs:
+
+ # udevadm control -l 7
+ # for n in $( seq 1 50 ) ; do udevadm trigger ; done
+
+ after that, /var/log/syslog should be larger than 1m. Then run
+ sosreport and limit its log file size to 1m:
+
+ # sosreport --log-size 1
+
+ The resulting sosreport will contain the error while trying to gather
+ the syslog.
+
[regression potential]
the currently failing plugins fail to gather any of their data, so there
is not much regression for them, but this change has the potential to
affect any plugin and prevent data gathering.
