Descrizione
Remove real temporary files in test environment
Description:
Using real filesystems when running blaze test and creating temporary paths is non-hermetic. I've also seen a number of flakes in end to end fuzzers that extend BaseIntegrationTest and are failing on illegalPath, likely because of a space of other issue accessing the file. Ideally, running test binaries should not create files.
The major use of filepaths is using the bootstrap config path https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/blob/36e05482cc27b4d2b5765fdebcdb5fef16f07d84/test/integration/base_integration_test.cc#L191-L192 but there are also use cases for
- File access logs, Tap paths, profile paths
- xDS paths
- Direct responses
The bootstrap config can be loaded via a string, but not all of the above use-cases have inline string replacements.
Perhaps we can instantiate a virtual filesystem in memory when running in certain modes/for certain tests. https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/blob/main/test/test_common/environment.h
