Summary

  • Install GCC 11 in the CI collector image, which provides gcov-11.
  • Run raw GCOV conversion through fastcov -g gcov-11 in standalone and multi-group paths.
  • Fail explicitly when the compatible reader is missing instead of uploading an empty LCOV report.
  • Add a regression contract check for the collector toolchain.

Root cause

ProxySQL coverage binaries are built with GCC 11, but the Ubuntu 24 CI collector used GCOV 13. Fastcov discovered .gcda files but could not decode them, leaving TAP coverage absent from Codecov even when FFTO TAP tests passed.

Validation

  • bash test/infra/control/validate-coverage-gcov-toolchain.bash
  • bash -n test/infra/control/run-tests-isolated.bash
  • bash -n test/infra/control/run-multi-group.bash

Remaining verification

The real test_ffto_mysql-t coverage run is blocked locally because Docker build containers cannot resolve archive.ubuntu.com or security.ubuntu.com. This PR is intentionally draft until the collector image can be rebuilt and that end-to-end check rerun.


Summary by cubic

Aligns the gcov reader with the GCC used for coverage builds and dumps ProxySQL’s counters once per TAP group. Previously CI forced a mismatched gcov and per‑test dumps, producing empty fastcov outputs; now we use the image’s default compatible reader, perform a single final dump, and fail when coverage is empty.

  • test/infra/control/run-tests-isolated.bash: EXIT trap calls dump-proxysql-gcov.bash, then runs fastcov -b; fails on empty LCOV; preserves the test exit code unless only coverage fails via coverage-exit-status.bash; copies matching .gcno before decoding.

  • test/infra/control/run-multi-group.bash: runs strict per‑group fastcov -b, fails on empty outputs, and marks the overall run failed if any group’s coverage generation fails.

  • New helpers/validators: dump-proxysql-gcov.bash, coverage-exit-status.bash, test-final-gcov-dump.bash (asserts one final dump before decoding, no per‑test dumps), and validate-coverage-gcov-toolchain.bash (uses image default gcov, forbids -g gcov-*, requires non‑empty outputs). CI lint workflow runs the validator using standard grep/awk (no ripgrep).

  • test/scripts/bin/proxysql-tester.py: removes per‑test PROXYSQL GCOV DUMP.

  • Required before merge: rebuild and publish proxysql-ci-base:latest with a default gcov matching the build toolchain (currently GCC 11), then re‑run coverage and confirm nonzero lines for lib/MySQLFFTO.cpp.

Written for commit 24c4465. Summary will update on new commits.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Coverage collection now performs one ProxySQL GCOV dump after each isolated test group. The runners fail on dump, fastcov, or empty-report errors while preserving test-failure precedence. New tests and CI validation cover the workflow and toolchain rules.

Changes

GCOV Coverage Flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Group-level GCOV dump
test/infra/control/dump-proxysql-gcov.bash, test/infra/control/fixtures/record-mysql-argv.bash, test/infra/control/run-tests-isolated.bash, test/scripts/bin/proxysql-tester.py
The isolated runner dumps ProxySQL GCOV counters once after each test group. The helper validates timeout settings and runs the MySQL command. Per-test dumps are removed.
Coverage status and report handling
test/infra/control/coverage-exit-status.bash, test/infra/control/run-tests-isolated.bash, test/infra/control/run-multi-group.bash
Coverage failures are tracked separately from test failures. Fastcov failures and empty reports fail coverage collection. Test failures take precedence over coverage failures.
GCOV dump regression coverage
test/infra/control/test-final-gcov-dump.bash
Integration tests verify arguments, failures, timeouts, dump ordering, invocation count, disabled per-test dumps, and exit-status precedence.
Coverage toolchain validation
test/infra/control/validate-coverage-gcov-toolchain.bash, .github/workflows/CI-lint-groups-json.yml
A strict validator checks GCC configuration, fastcov usage, gcov readers, report options, workflow registration, and the final GCOV dump test.
Implementation plan
docs/superpowers/plans/2026-08-14-final-gcov-dump.md
The plan documents the group-level dump design, validation tasks, runner changes, status handling, and verification tasks.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 75f3f

The new CI coverage gate currently conflicts with the collector toolchain this PR is intended to support, so the job may reject the valid GCC 11/gcov-11 configuration. Align the validator and implementation before merging; the documentation items are non-blocking.

Learning: In ProxySQL isolated regression tests that use a fresh explicit INFRA_ID, rely on ensure-infras.bash to detect and create the proxysql.${INFRA_ID} container by invoking start-proxysql-isolated.bash before provisioning configuration. Do not invoke start-proxysql-isolated.bash again afterward, because it removes the named container and its proxysql.db, discarding the provisioned configuration. The src/proxysql binary is mounted during initial container creation.

Learning: When using GitHub-flavored Markdown headings, be aware that an em-dash surrounded by spaces (written as ` — `) affects the generated anchor/slug: GitHub replaces spaces with hyphens and removes non-alphanumeric punctuation, which can produce double hyphens (e.g., `## Foo — bar` → anchor `#foo--bar`, not `#foo-bar`). If you reference these anchors (e.g., internal links), ensure the expected slug matches this behavior.

Learning: When reviewing GitHub-flavored Markdown links/anchors, remember that heading-to-anchor slug generation treats spaces as hyphens and removes punctuation. If a heading contains an em-dash surrounded by spaces (e.g. ` — `), the slugs can legitimately include a double hyphen where the two surrounding space-runs become `-` on either side of the removed em-dash (e.g. `...vocabulary--read...`). Do not flag double-hyphens in anchor links for em-dash-containing headings as errors; they reflect GitHub’s correct slug behavior.

Confirm the coverage producer before finalizing the E2E command.

The goal and E2E steps use ubuntu22-tap-genai-gcov at Lines 5 and 172-174. The supplied CI matrix documents ubuntu24, -tap-genai-gcov as the GCOV build variant. If that row produces the .gcda files, this test builds a different artifact and may not reproduce the incompatibility. Confirm the producer and align the build command, or document why ubuntu22-tap-genai-gcov is the GCC 11 producer.

This comparison uses the supplied doc/GH-Actions/README.md context at Lines 326-341.

💡 Edge Case: Empty-report guard uses -s, may miss header-only LCOV

The new guard [ ! -s "${coverage_file}" ] only fails when fastcov produces a zero-byte file. If a gcov/gcno mismatch instead yields a syntactically valid but data-less LCOV (e.g. only TN:/end_of_record headers with no DA:/LF: records), the file is non-empty so the check passes and an effectively-empty report is still uploaded — the exact failure the PR aims to prevent. Consider also asserting the report contains coverage records (e.g. grep for a DA:/LF: line, or a nonzero LH: total) before treating generation as successful.

Record the blocked end-to-end verification.

The PR objective states that Docker containers cannot resolve Ubuntu package repositories. This blocks end-to-end coverage verification and keeps the PR in draft. Add the blocker to the plan so the checked local validations are not mistaken for full verification.

Proposed documentation update
 - [x] Run the coverage validators, Bash syntax checks, Python compilation, and `git diff --check`.
+- [ ] Run end-to-end Docker coverage verification; blocked because Docker containers cannot resolve Ubuntu package repositories.
 - [x] Review the final diff against `origin/v3.0` for unrelated changes.

This reflects the PR objective that end-to-end verification remains blocked and the PR remains draft.

Leave errexit enabled (set -e / set -euo pipefail), or handle failures explicitly with if/|| and an explicit exit instead of globally turning off failure detection.

Do not require gcov-11 for this plan.

The validator requires the compiler-default GCOV reader, and both collection paths already reject empty reports. Remove the proposed gcov-11 requirements.

Align the validator with the intended GCOV contract.

This step runs validate-coverage-gcov-toolchain.bash, which rejects gcc-11 in the collector image and rejects raw fastcov -b -g gcov-* calls. The PR objective requires installing GCC 11 and using gcov-11 for raw conversion. Align the validator and implementation before enabling this CI gate, or CI will reject the intended configuration.

Aligns the CI GCOV reader version with the coverage build toolchain and adds failure propagation for empty reports. Consider using a more robust check than -s for the empty-report guard to catch header-only LCOV output.

💡 Edge Case: Empty-report guard uses -s, may miss header-only LCOV

📄 test/infra/control/run-tests-isolated.bash:401-404 📄 test/infra/control/run-multi-group.bash:377-380

The new guard [ ! -s "${coverage_file}" ] only fails when fastcov produces a zero-byte file. If a gcov/gcno mismatch instead yields a syntactically valid but data-less LCOV (e.g. only TN:/end_of_record headers with no DA:/LF: records), the file is non-empty so the check passes and an effectively-empty report is still uploaded — the exact failure the PR aims to prevent. Consider also asserting the report contains coverage records (e.g. grep for a DA:/LF: line, or a nonzero LH: total) before treating generation as successful.

Edge Case: Multi-group coverage: one group failure aborts entire run

📄 test/infra/control/run-multi-group.bash:2 📄 test/infra/control/run-multi-group.bash:366-380
The per-group coverage docker run previously ended with || echo ">>> WARNING...", isolating failures. That fallback was removed and the script runs under set -euo pipefail, so any single group's coverage failure (missing gcov-11, fastcov error) now aborts the whole loop immediately — remaining groups are never processed and the downstream LCOV combination/upload step is skipped entirely. If failing hard on decode problems is desired for one group, wrap the docker run so the failure is recorded per-group and the loop continues, then fail once at the end (e.g. docker run ... || { echo ">>> ERROR: coverage failed for ${group}"; COVERAGE_FAILED=1; }).

Quality: Standalone fastcov failure still swallowed by warning fallback

📄 test/infra/control/run-tests-isolated.bash:402-404
The stated goal is to fail explicitly rather than upload an empty LCOV report. The new gcov-11 presence check handles the missing-binary case, but the standalone fastcov command still ends with || echo ">>> WARNING: Coverage generation failed...", so any other fastcov decode failure is swallowed and the job continues to upload a partial/empty report. This is inconsistent with the multi-group path, which now fails hard. Consider removing the || echo fallback (or propagating a nonzero exit) so a fastcov failure fails the coverage job.

   The new guard `[ ! -s "${coverage_file}" ]` only fails when fastcov produces a zero-byte file. If a gcov/gcno mismatch instead yields a syntactically valid but data-less LCOV (e.g. only `TN:`/`end_of_record` headers with no `DA:`/`LF:` records), the file is non-empty so the check passes and an effectively-empty report is still uploaded — the exact failure the PR aims to prevent. Consider also asserting the report contains coverage records (e.g. grep for a `DA:`/`LF:` line, or a nonzero `LH:` total) before treating generation as successful.
