Enforcing pylint standards and default for our test code seems
counter-productive. Since most of the newly added code are tests or is
test-related, encountering these checks rarely make us refactor the code
in other ways and we just disable these checks individually. Code that
is too complex or convoluted will be pointed out in reviews anyways.
PyLint 2.11 reports a new warning, C0209 (consider-using-f-string).
Since f-strings are only available in Python 3.6+, existing scripts
cannot be updated to use this feature just yet because they would stop
working with older Python versions. Instead, disable PyLint warning
C0209 for the time being. Sort all disabled warnings in .pylintrc.
The system tests were missing a test that would test tcp-initial-timeout
and tcp-idle-timeout.
This commit adds new "timeouts" system test that adds:
* Test that waits longer than tcp-initial-timeout and then checks
whether the socket was closed
* Test that sends and receives DNS message then waits longer than
tcp-initial-timeout but shorter time than tcp-idle-timeout than
sends DNS message again than waits longer than tcp-idle-timeout
and checks whether the socket was closed
* Similar test, but bursting 25 DNS messages than waiting longer than
tcp-initial-timeout and shorter than tcp-idle-timeout than do second
25 DNS message burst
* Check whether transfer longer than tcp-initial-timeout succeeds
Our python code didn't adhere to any coding standard. In this commit, we add
flame8 (https://pypi.org/project/flake8/), and pylint (https://www.pylint.org/).
There's couple of exceptions:
- ans.py scripts are not checked, nor fixed as part of this MR
- pylint's missing-*-docstring and duplicate-code checks have
been disabled via .pylintrc
Both exceptions should be removed in due time.
