name with an obscure prefix like 'ci-node-' makes it look more profound

The 'unit tests' are no longer just unit tests. They also run a bunch
of static analysis tools like ShellCheck, codespell, gofmt and 'go vet'.
Since newer versions of these tools are generally better at catching
problems in the codebase, it will be better to run the 'unit tests' on
Fedora Rawhide with the latest versions than older stable Fedoras.
The timeout for the 'unit tests' need to be increased because Fedora
Rawhide is slower than stable Fedoras. Currently, the timeout for the
'unit tests' running on Fedora 36 is 10 minutes. Increasing it to 20
minutes when running on Fedora Rawhide wasn't enough, so maybe 30 will
be sufficient.
Note that this is only feasible because the Fedora Rawhide builds are
now more robust against stale DNF caches [1]. Otherwise, it wouldn't
have been wise to use Fedora Rawhide to test anything which isn't also
being tested elsewhere, because the Fedora Rawhide builds might have
stayed broken for extended periods of time due to reasons completely
unrelated to Toolbx.

This will be used by the subsequent commit to have a separate set of

Stream 9 doesn't have the ShellCheck, bats and fish RPMs.

Currently, the standard error and output streams of the child commands
invoked by 'meson test' are redirected to a separate log file. When the
tests fail, it's difficult, or maybe even impossible, to access this
file from the Zuul CI, and all that can be seen is something like:

This doesn't have enough information to understand what caused the tests
to fail on non-interactive CI environments.
Not redirecting the standard error and output streams of the child
commands invoked by 'meson test' will readily reveal more details about
the test failures and remove the need to find the log file created by
Meson.

Different versions of ShellCheck and codespell may treat the same code
base differently. eg., these tools are currently being used on Fedora
36 as part of the 'unit tests', but CentOS Stream 9 has newer versions
that are stricter and catch several new problems.
Knowing the versions of the tools used in the tests helps to understand
these differences, and is a step towards testing on CentOS Stream 9.

Note that 'run --keep-empty-lines' counts the trailing newline on the
last line as a separate line.
Until Bats 1.7.0, 'run --keep-empty-lines' had a bug where even when a
command produced no output, it would report a line count of one [1] due
to a stray line feed character. This needs to be conditionalized, since
Fedora 35 has Bats 1.5.0.

Currently, if an image was copied with:
$ skopeo copy \
containers-storage:registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora-toolbox:36 \
containers-storage:localhost/fedora-toolbox:36
... or:
$ podman tag \
registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora-toolbox:36 \
localhost/fedora-toolbox:36
... then it would show up twice in 'list' with the same name, and in the
wrong order.
Either as:
$ toolbox list --images
IMAGE ID IMAGE NAME CREATED
2110dbbc33d2 localhost/fedora-toolbox:36 1 day...
e085805ade4a registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8/toolbox:latest 1 day...
2110dbbc33d2 localhost/fedora-toolbox:36 1 day...
70cbe2ce60ca registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora-toolbox:34 1 day...
... or as:
$ toolbox list --images
IMAGE ID IMAGE NAME CREATED
2110dbbc33d2 registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora-toolbox:36 1 day...
e085805ade4a registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8/toolbox:latest 1 day...
2110dbbc33d2 registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora-toolbox:36 1 day...
70cbe2ce60ca registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora-toolbox:34 1 day...
The correct output should be similar to 'podman images', and be sorted
in ascending order of the names:
$ toolbox list --images
IMAGE ID IMAGE NAME CREATED
2110dbbc33d2 localhost/fedora-toolbox:36 1 day...
e085805ade4a registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8/toolbox:latest 1 day...
70cbe2ce60ca registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora-toolbox:34 1 day...
2110dbbc33d2 registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora-toolbox:36 1 day...
The problem is that, in these situations, 'podman images --format json'
returns separate identical JSON collections for each copy of the image,
and all of those copies have multiple names:
[
{
"Id": "2110dbbc33d2",
...
"Names": [
"localhost/fedora-toolbox:36",
"registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora-toolbox:36"
],
...
},
{
"Id": "e085805ade4a",
...
"Names": [
"registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8/toolbox:latest"
],
...
},
{
"Id": "2110dbbc33d2",
...
"Names": [
"localhost/fedora-toolbox:36",
"registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora-toolbox:36"
],
...
}
{
"Id": "70cbe2ce60ca",
...
"Names": [
"registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora-toolbox:34"
],
...
},
]
The image objects need to be flattened to have only one unique name per
copy, but with the same ID, and then sorted to ensure the right order.
Note that the ordering was already broken since commit 2369da5d31,
which started using 'podman images --sort repository'. Podman can sort
by either the image's repository or tag, but not by the unified name,
which is what Toolbx needs. Therefore, even without copied images,
Toolbx really does need to sort the images itself.
Prior to commit 2369da5d31, the ordering was correct, but copied
images would only show up once.

With the recent expansion of the test suite, it's necessary to increase

not twice.
A subsequent commit will use this to write tests to ensure that copied
images are correctly handled.

This builds on top of commit 0465d78fd9034ce9.
The toolboxImage type has been renamed to Image and moved into the
podman package.
There is nothing Toolbx specific about the type - it represents any
image returned by 'podman images'. The images are only later filtered
for Toolbx images.
Secondly, having the Image type inside the podman package makes it
possible to encapsulate the unmarshalling of the JSON within the package
without exposing the raw JSON to outside consumers. This is desirable
because the unmarshalling involves tracking changes in the JSON output
by different Podman versions, and it's better to limit such details to
the podman package.
https://github.com/containers/toolbox/pull/1190
It's better to avoid single letter variables in general, because they
are so hard to grep for.
This will make the subsequent commit easier to read.
https://github.com/containers/toolbox/pull/1190
This builds on top of commit e772207831.
Currently, the JSON from 'podman images --format json' gets unmarshalled
into a []map[string]interface{} in podman.GetImages, where the maps in
the slice represent images. Each map is then marshalled back into JSON
and then again unmarshalled into a toolboxImage type.
This is wasteful. The toolboxImage type already implements the
json.Unmarshaler interface [1], since commit e772207831. Hence,
the entire JSON from 'podman images --format json' can be directly
unmarshalled into a slice of toolboxImages without involving the
[]map[string]interface{}.
A subsequent commit will move the toolboxImage type into the podman
package to more tightly encapsulate the unmarshalling of the JSON. So,
as an intermediate step in that direction, the podman.GetImages function
has been temporarily changed to return the entire JSON.

Commit ae43560d45 had added a test with a similar intention. When
the test suite is run on a Fedora Rawhide host, it tests whether the
containers for the two previous stable Fedora releases start or not.
Fedora N-2 reaches End of Life 4 weeks after Fedora N is released [1].
So, testing the containers for Fedora Rawhide and the two previous
stable releases on a Fedora Rawhide host is a decent test of general
backwards compatibility.
However, as seen recently [2], this isn't enough to catch some known
ABI compatibility issues [3,4]. These involve toolbox binaries built
on hosts with newer toolchains that aren't meant to be run against
containers with older runtimes. A targeted test is needed to defend
against these scenarios.
The fedora-toolbox:34 image has glibc-2.33, which is old enough to be
unable to run binaries compiled on Fedora 35 with glibc-2.34 and newer.

Fedora 32 reached End of Life on 25th May 2021:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/releases/eol/
That's quite old because right now Fedora 35 is nearing its End of Life.
Since the tests are intended for Toolbx, not the Fedora infrastructure,
it will be better to use a newer image, because images that are too old
can get lost from registry.fedoraproject.org. The fedora-toolbox:34
image can be a drop-in replacement for the fedora-toolbox:32 image for
the purposes of this test suite, and has the advantage of being newer.
Note that fedora-toolbox:34 is also old enough to test that the toolbox
binary runs against it's build-time ABI from the host, and not the
Toolbx container's ABI, when it's invoked as the entry point of the
container [1,2]. This is important because the subsequent commit will
add a test to ensure that.

Otherwise, there's so much spew from 'go test', including the successful
tests, that the actual failures don't stand out.
Note that, the different steps involved in building the code base are a
lot more interdependent on each other. Hence, some extra verbosity
can help understand what caused a build failure on non-interactive build
environments. In contrast, the runtime outputs from each test case are
a lot more isolated and independent from one another. The additional
verbosity from successful tests doesn't really help understand why a
particular test failed.

Currently, only a so-called high-confidence subset of the default checks
in 'go vet' are being run by 'go test' [1]. Since 'go vet' is part of
the core Go tools, it's worth trying to use more of it. After all,
golangci-lint, which is currently being run through a GitHub Action,
is running the default 'go vet' checks as one of its linters [2].
It's good to have as much of the testing wrapped inside 'meson test', as
possible, because it's easier to run locally and on other non-GitHub CI
environments like those of downstream distributors.

[2] https://golangci-lint.run/usage/linters/https://golangci-lint.run/usage/linters/#govethttps://github.com/containers/toolbox/pull/1186
In the past, before commit d323143c46, there was either had a
dummy 'return' statement or a self-documenting 'panic' that said that
the code should not be reached. Since neither golangci-lint nor
'go vet' likes those, a comment is the only option left.
Note that the core Go tools like 'go vet' [1], but also 'go lint' [2],
explicitly don't intend to add fine-grained configuration options,
including inline directives or pragmas, to silence specific warnings.
That's something golangci-lint offers [3], to the extent that it's
supported by its linters [4]. However, golangci-lint also uses 'go vet'
as one of those linters, so it's the same problem all over again.
Therefore, between the two extremes of leaving the code difficult to
read and using a very big hammer to disable a needlessly big chuck of
'go vet', a comment is the least worst option.
