When `/etc/hosts` contained a FQDN with a trailing dot, the `\b` in the
sed expression would not match, since dot is not considered to be a word
character.
Fix this by regexp-escaping the hostname search, and matching the end of
the line on optional space followed by additional characters.
Also add some tests that extract the regexp used by sed and verify that
it does what we want. These will hopefully serve us in the future if we
ever need to test additional edge cases.
there's been a lot of churn around this code, so i figure it was worth
trying to clean it up.
- the methods were doing a lot, so make them into template methods with
one helper per step
- spread out /etc/hosts regexp into a couple of helper variables for
clarity
- remove handling for broken hostname implementations (like basing all
of the checks on name.split('.')[0]), since it seems reasonable to
remove code dedicated only to handling broken boxes
- DRY up the shared code between debian/ubuntu implementations, which
clarifies the differences as well
- add unit tests around the behavior; this will help us in the future
to separate flaws in our understanding from flaws in implementation
- includes a new DummyCommunicator in tests which should be useful in
supporting additional unit testing of this kind
- manually tested this on squeeze, wheezy, precise, quantal, raring,
and saucy successfully.
handles the issue in #2333
The issue was that the old method simply didn't work. When the hosts
file should look like:
127.0.1.1 host.fqdn.com host
It looked like:
127.0.1.1 host.fqdn.com host old.fqdn.com old
Or this if the user didn't set a fqdn
127.0.1.1 host host old.fqdn.com old
This patch fixes that.
On Debian and Ubuntu guests, when the new hostname of the guest box is
set, the DHCP client (isc-dhcp-client) won't renew its DHCP lease with
the new hostname. Executing "ifdown -a; ifup -a" to reinitialize all auto
interfaces fixes this issue.
Furthermore, as vagrant will now actually wait until a DHCP lease is
acquired, it is guaranteed that the the correct domainname is set from
DHCP before calling other provisioners like puppet, that rely on it.
This fixes puppet/facter sometimes failing to find the fqdn fact on an
LXC guest when the DHCP server is responding too slow.
When dealing with lxc containers, '/proc/version' will have information
about the host machine kernel that can possibly have information about
an Ubuntu / Debian host, messing up with guest container detection.
On Debian systems config.hostname directive should change /etc/mailname
in order to prevent problems with default mailer trying to contact
default vm's name.
I don't use `activated` here because I'd really like to optimize
performance as much as possible, and loading files from disk is
generally slow. So instead of using `activated` I load the file at the
last possible moment which is when the exact class is being requested.
I don't think many people will do this outside of the core, and I'm not
too concerned.
