Adds 2 new tests for upgrading from published neo4j docker images to the one just built.

  1. tests upgrade within the same minor version e.g released 4.0 -> 4.0.7-SNAPSHOT
  2. tests upgrade from the previous minor version in the same major version e.g. released 4.0 -> 4.1.0-SNAPSHOT

It seems that the existing DatabaseIO.java and TestUpgrade.java file were indented with tabs so, that got fixed at the same time.

We were using a Neo4jContainer from TestContainers rather than a GenericContainer and this
seems to have caused the /data/dbms directory to get built unexpectedly.
The data/dbms folder contains authentication information, and it turns out that Neo4jContainer
was setting a default password even though NEO4J_AUTH=none is set, hence the folder appeared and out tests passed.
I've added an initial password so that the folder is created and we can test permissions on it.

This is hacky. I think the question of "is this on a branch that's released already" should be captured in the Neo4jVersion class somehow. I think marking all patch=0 versions as unreleased (which would be true in our CI environment and in general) would be enough right?
We don't really need to worry too much about people updating from, say, 4.0.0 to 4.0.0. It's not a valid thing that users will ever do. Can't we just skip this test for if patch == 0?

For the main Neo4j Jars we say that going from 1 minor version to another is supported.
For clustering two adjacent minor versions are required to form a functioning cluster (necessary for no-downtime upgrades).
So my intention is to test that migration to x.y.0 from x.y-1 works.

The problem I'm trying to tackle is that there is a period (like now) when 4.2.0 exists internally (so these tests will be run in PRs etc.) but there is no published 4.1 to test upgrade from.

why not just do that kind of upgrade in a separate unit test rather than having over-complicated test logic here? Actually that would simplify the logic a lot since the latest patch version of a release is always tagged as the major.minor. EG neo4j:4.0 is always the latest 4.0 patch version.

I will separate so we will do:

  1. patch upgrade tests I.e. from x.y (released) to current head (assuming current head patch version > 0)

  2. Minor version upgrade test I.e. from x.(y-1) to current head.

For the latter there will still need to be a temporary hack for situations like at the moment where there is a 4.2 branch but no 4.1 release.

What’s going on should be much more transparent though

why is the IOException being recast as a runtime exception? Also, doesn't the method signature need to declare that it throws an exception?

RuntimeExceptions are unchecked (don't need to be declared).

I used createDirectory in a stream processing step and those aren't allowed to throw checked exceptions - this is a just wrapping the checked IOException in a RuntimeException so I can use this method on a stream.

You can do this simpler like:

.waitingFor( Wait.forHttp( "/" )
.forPort( 7474 )
.forStatusCode( 200 )
.withStartupTimeout( Duration.ofSeconds( 90 ) ) );

validateConfig( db );

// validate that writes actually went to the mounted directories
writableMounts.forEach( ( containerMount, hostFolder ) -> assertDirectoryModifiedSince( hostFolder, startTime ) );

we already have tests that check that the container can write to a mounted folder, so I'm not sure what value this adds?

If I didn't include this check to check that mount paths worked. I include it because without checking if we changed how the mount paths worked (e.g. /data became /databases) this test would still pass (using /data) but it wouldn't be doing what I intended it to do which is persisting data on that mount.

but there's already a check that the data has been persisted:

That doesn’t check that the data is in the mounted directory - just that it’s in neo4j

In the second container, we don't write the data again before checking that the data is there. How else would the data be there unless it's reading from the mounted folder?

I’m checking that subsequent writes succeed and go there.
admittedly perhaps a niche concern.
It’s not just the data folder though - it’s all the writable folders so logs etc as well.

it's valid to check that we can still write to the database with the mounted folder since we might have introduced permissions changes (eg new uid!). I just don't think we need to query the file system to do that when we are also actually writing something to the database, since the database write will fail if something on the file system changed.

I stand by this. The writing of metrics to /metrics is broken in 3.5 if the volume is mounted without permissions even when running as root. That is detected by this check.

If I remove this check we do not detect that brokenness and this test passes when it should not.

the logic here confuses me. My understanding of these tests is that we're supposed to be testing upgrade of patch versions. So if the patch version is 0, we wouldn't ever need to upgrade within major/minor, right? The test is redundant if patch version = 0.

However there is confusing logic here and earlier with the 4.2 time checking hack, which seem to deal with the case of when patch = 0. Also I think this test will (in its current state) run on 4.1 even now before 4.1.0 is released?

We're working on different assumptions. I want this test to run on 4.1.0 to test 4.0 -> 4.1.0

My understanding is that for Neo4j going from one minor version to the next is expected to work without config changes.

that should be a separate unit test

this is split out into separate tests now.

Sorry the diff here is large but the file was indented with tabs so I let the IDE re-indent the whole thing
