%% Status messages sent to the supervisor process. (A supervisor does
%% not have to act on these messages - it can e.g. just log them, or
%% even discard them.) Each status message has the following form:
%%
%% {status, Id, Info}
%%
%% where Id identifies the item that the message pertains to, and the
%% Info part can be one of:
%%
%% {progress, 'begin', {test | group, Data}}
%% indicates that the item has been entered, and what type it is;
%% Data is [{desc,binary()}, {source,Source}, {line,integer()}] for
%% a test, and [{desc,binary()}, {spawn,SpawnType},
%% {order,OrderType}] for a group.
%%
%% {progress, 'end', {Status, Data}}
%% Status = 'ok' | {error, Exception} | {skipped, Cause} | integer()
%% Data = [{time,integer()}, {output,binary()}]
%%
%% where Time is measured in milliseconds and Output is the data
%% written to the standard output stream during the test; if
%% Status is {skipped, Cause}, then Cause is a term thrown from
%% eunit_test:run_testfun/1. For a group item, the Status field is
%% the number of immediate subitems of the group; this helps the
%% collation of results. Failure for groups is always signalled
%% through a cancel message, not through the Status field.
%%
%% {cancel, Descriptor}
%% where Descriptor can be:
%% timeout a timeout occurred
%% {blame, Id} forced to terminate because of item `Id'
%% {abort, Cause} the test or group failed to execute
%% {exit, Reason} the test process terminated unexpectedly
%% {startup, Reason} failed to start a remote test process
%%
%% where Cause is a term thrown from eunit_data:enter_context/4 or
%% from eunit_data:iter_next/2, and Reason is an exit term from a
%% crashed process
%%
%% Note that due to concurrent (and possibly distributed) execution,
%% there are *no* strict ordering guarantees on the status messages,
%% with one exception: a 'begin' message will always arrive before its
%% corresponding 'end' message.

%% @TODO implement synchronized mode for insulator/child execution
%% Ideas for synchronized mode:
%%
%% * At each "program point", i.e., before entering a test, entering a
%% group, or leaving a group, the child will synchronize with the
%% insulator to make sure it is ok to proceed.
%%
%% * The insulator can receive controlling messages from higher up in
%% the hierarchy, telling it to pause, resume, single-step, repeat, etc.
%%
%% * Synchronization on entering/leaving groups is necessary in order to
%% get control over things such as subprocess creation/termination and
%% setup/cleanup, making it possible to, e.g., repeat all the tests
%% within a particular subprocess without terminating and restarting it,
%% or repeating tests without repeating the setup/cleanup.
%%
%% * Some tests that depend on state will not be possible to repeat, but
%% require a fresh context setup. There is nothing that can be done
%% about this, and the many tests that are repeatable should not be
%% punished because of it. The user must decide which level to restart.
%%
%% * Question: How propagate control messages down the hierarchy
%% (preferably only to the correct insulator process)? An insulator does
%% not currenctly know whether its child process has spawned subtasks.
%% (The "supervisor" process does not know the Pids of the controlling
%% insulator processes in the tree, and it probably should not be
%% responsible for this anyway.)
%% ---------------------------------------------------------------------
%% Process tree primitives
%% A "task" consists of an insulator process and a child process which
%% handles the actual work. When the child terminates, the insulator
%% process sends {done, Reference, self()} to the process which started
%% the task (the "parent"). The child process is given a State record
%% which contains the process id:s of the parent, the insulator, and the
%% supervisor.
%% @spec (Type, (#procstate{}) -> () -> term(), #procstate{}) -> pid()
%% Type = local | {remote, Node::atom()}
start_task(Type, Fun, St0) ->
St = St0#procstate{parent = self()},
%% (note: the link here is mainly to propagate signals *downwards*,
%% so that the insulator can detect if the process that started the
%% task dies before the task is done)
F = fun () -> insulator_process(Type, Fun, St) end,
case Type of
local ->
%% we assume (at least for now) that local spawns can never
%% fail in such a way that the process does not start, so a
%% new local insulator does not need to synchronize here
spawn_link(F);
{remote, Node} ->
Pid = spawn_link(Node, F),
%% See below for the need for the {ok, Reference, Pid}
%% message.
Reference = St#procstate.ref,
Monitor = erlang:monitor(process, Pid),
%% (the DOWN message is guaranteed to arrive after any
%% messages sent by the process itself)
receive
{ok, Reference, Pid} ->
Pid;
{'DOWN', Monitor, process, Pid, Reason} ->
%% send messages as if the insulator process was
%% started, but terminated on its own accord
Msg = {startup, Reason},
message_super(St#procstate.id, {cancel, Msg}, St),
self() ! {done, Reference, Pid}
end,
erlang:demonitor(Monitor, [flush]),
Pid
end.
%% Relatively simple, and hopefully failure-proof insulator process
%% (This is cleaner than temporarily setting up the caller to trap
%% signals, and does not affect the caller's mailbox or other state.)
%%
%% We assume that nobody does a 'kill' on an insulator process - if that
%% should happen, the test framework will hang since the insulator will
%% never send a reply; see below for more.
%%
%% Note that even if the insulator process itself never fails, it is
%% still possible that it does not start properly, if it is spawned
%% remotely (e.g., if the remote node is down). Therefore, remote
%% insulators must always immediately send an {ok, Reference, self()}
%% message to the parent as soon as it is spawned.
%% @spec (Type, Fun::() -> term(), St::#procstate{}) -> ok
%% Type = local | {remote, Node::atom()}

insulator_wait(Child, Parent, [], St).
%% Normally, child processes exit with the reason 'normal' even if the
%% executed tests failed (by throwing exceptions), since the tests are
%% executed within a try-block. Child processes can terminate abnormally
%% by the following reasons:
%% 1) an error in the processing of the test descriptors (a malformed
%% descriptor, failure in a setup, cleanup or initialization, a
%% missing module or function, or a failing generator function);
%% 2) an internal error in the test running framework itself;
%% 3) receiving a non-trapped error signal as a consequence of running
%% test code.
%% Those under point 1 are "expected errors", handled specially in the
%% protocol, while the other two are unexpected errors. (Since alt. 3
%% implies that the test neither reported success nor failure, it can
%% never be considered "proper" behaviour of a test.) Abnormal
%% termination is reported to the supervisor process but otherwise does
%% not affect the insulator compared to normal termination. Child
%% processes can also be killed abruptly by their insulators, in case of
%% a timeout or if a parent process dies.
%%
%% The insulator is the group leader for the child process, and gets all
%% of its standard I/O. The output is buffered and associated with the
%% currently active test or group, and is sent along with the 'end'
%% progress message when the test or group has finished.
