Description Eran Kuris 2017-03-19 07:57:04 UTC
Description of problem:
Test failed : neutron.tests.tempest.api.test_timestamp.TestTimeStampWithL3.test_show_router_attribute_with_timestamp

At creation the timestamp is correct: u'created_at': u'2017-02-22T10:47:24Z', u'updated_at': u'2017-02-22T10:47:24Z'

when "show" function display the timestamp it display it with ~3 sec difference:
u'created_at': u'2017-02-22T10:47:24Z', u'updated_at': u'2017-02-22T10:47:26Z'

show function display incorrect timestamp

--> 221 body = self.client.show_router(router['id'])

    223 # verify the timestamp from creation and showed is same
    224 import ipdb;ipdb.set_trace()
    225 self.assertEqual(router['created_at'],

Hi Assaf, Would you mind taking a look at my bug?

> Hi Assaf, Would you mind taking a look at my bug?

I added this to our OSP 11 list to be triaged on the next team call.

Comment 4 Brian Haley 2017-03-30 18:25:14 UTC
Hi Eran,

You mean the 'updated_at' timestamp is different, correct?  That is +2s on the show from the original.

My initial though is that this is due to the notification mechanism changes in neutron.  For example, when a router is created, just the base resource is created, then notifiers registered for the "AFTER_CREATE" event are notified.  In some cases, those notified can update the resource, like when it's a distributed router, which could update the timestamp.  A number of code paths changed in this regard in the Ocata timeframe to fix some race conditions.

A quick look doesn't reveal any notifications for a "base" router, but I might not have found it yet, and 2 seconds is a long time when the test issues back-to-back calls.  I'll keep looking.

Comment 5 Ihar Hrachyshka 2017-03-30 18:38:05 UTC
An alternative idea is: maybe that's some other component updating the router object in the meantime. Worth a check of neutron-server logs to see if we get any other HTTP/RPC update requests for the resource in those 3 seconds.

Comment 7 Brian Haley 2017-03-31 15:49:46 UTC
I'm still looking into this, I didn't find the neutron-server logs in that CI run, but I did figure out one thing.

The POST to create the router was issued at 23:44:25, but returned at 23:44:28, so it took a couple of seconds.  The GET was issued at 23:44:29 and returned almost immediately.  That timeline seems Ok.

I am still thinking there was simply a post-creation operation that caused a change to 'updated_at', which was the failure, not a diff of 'created_at'.  So I'm starting to think the second check in the test is invalid, since this field is most likely going to change right after creation.

Comment 8 Brian Haley 2017-03-31 15:51:56 UTC
Ah, the server log is in the controller tar ball, I'm taking a look at that now.

Comment 10 Brian Haley 2017-04-03 16:37:55 UTC
So I was able to match up the logs now, and I was also able to recreate this in a test environment.

The problem is that this test environment has HA enabled, so the create_router() code in l3_hamode_db.py is over-riding the base code.  Here's a snippet of that code:

        router_dict = super(L3_HA_NAT_db_mixin,
                            self).create_router(context, router)
        if is_ha:
            try:
                router_db = self._get_router(context, router_dict['id'])

                self.schedule_router(context, router_dict['id'])

                router_dict['ha_vr_id'] = router_db.extra_attributes.ha_vr_id
                router_dict['status'] = self._update_router_db(
                    context, router_dict['id'],
                    {'status': n_const.ROUTER_STATUS_ACTIVE})['status']
                self._notify_router_updated(context, router_db.id,
                                            schedule_routers=False)


Since a vr_id is allocated, the router DB entry is updated with that info right after it was created.  The original POST call is returning what is essentially "stale" data.

You can see this if you create a router with --ha:

(admin) $ openstack router create --ha --project ae5c9703507546f5801a14ddb124d47e router3

$ openstack router show router3

Notice not only the 'updated_at' is bumped, but so is 'revision_number'.  A non-HA router doesn't go through that code path, so has matching values, plus the revision_number is lower:

$ openstack router create router4
$ openstack router show router4

So the test was not intended to be run in anything but a "base" environment, without HA or DVR (it will do similar updates).

It would seem the easy solution would be to tweak the tempest/api/base.py create_router() code to set ha=False, but since it's an admin-only option, it's a little more complicated than that, but I think it can be done.  There might be other options as well to work around this.  But I think for now we can call this a test bug.
