Cleanup files.PublishedStorage after dropping a publish

[aol-nnov]

Fixes: #198

After dropping files.PublishedStorage there were some leftovers - empty directory tree. If that directory tree is empty, it is now removed.

Checklist

• functional test added/updated (if change is functional)

@neolynx here is another annoying thing I'd like to fix in aptly. My publish prefix is bloated with empty directories as I have to create and remove publishes intensively.

[neolynx]

oh, yes please ! I found this quite annoying as well...

[aol-nnov]

yay, there is an issue for it! #198

[aol-nnov]

@neolynx original tests that were failing are now fixed, but my newly added PublishDrop21Test is failing, not sure why...

May be it's time for me to learn something new, too? 😁 This alienish test suite is driving me nuts, frankly...

[aol-nnov]

All tests are passing now

great ! could you explain why they failed ?

please do not judge :) the history of all of this is in git, many people worked on that. I think the thing to learn here is how to deal with legacy code and how to slowly improve it and revive the project. so please be respectful and constructive, we are all aware of the state of things, and it took months to get it to a working and halfway reliable state.

-gold file was missing for my PublishDrop21Test - copied it from PublishDrop2Test. Not completely sure what it is.

Whole experience of adding tests is cumbersome and non-obvious due to lack of developers documentation. Even some doc links to the testing frameworks would make the whole process more friendly and smooth...

Oh, and original tests were failing because checks relied on empty directories now removed (as you said, the history of all of this is in git :-) )

ok great. in the Makefile there is the CAPTURE flag, you can uncomment, then the tests will create the gold files.

as said before, we are well aware of that. feel free to contribute. until then let's keep the discussions here technical.

thanks, that is excellent :-)

tests look good !

I started a coverage build: codecov/patch — 84.61% of diff hit (target 74.84%)

Seems, ci is stuck again...

seems we have a segfault:
https://github.com/aptly-dev/aptly/actions/runs/11476603052/job/31936962068?pr=1381#step:8:487

Heh, that's because nil is passed instead of aptly.Progress in tests. Very handy 😒

P.S.: handled that on my side

[aol-nnov]

Now, seems -gold-en outputs do not match new reality 😂

it needs that non empty check before remove... ;-)

Also, something wrong with docker tests:

$ make docker-image
[+] Building 310.3s (21/21) FINISHED
$ make docker-system-test
usermod: UID '0' already exists
make: *** [docker-system-test] Error 4
$ _

So, for me there is no simple way to update test now, unfortunately.

You know what, my experience contributing in this particular PR is drastically falling down. Second day in a row we're chewing through tons of comments in a changeset that barely changes nothing, docs on testsuite are missing, tooling does not work and you're making jokes on me...

That all really makes me sad.

Also, something wrong with docker tests:

the docker-wrapper sets the user to the one of the git repo directory, to not write files as root. it seems your git dir is owned by root. changing to user owner would solve this in that case.

[aol-nnov]

it seems your git dir is owned by root

not true

$ ls -lad ../aptly/
drwxr-xr-x@ 46 aol  staff  1472 Oct 22 17:22 ../aptly/

Thanks for the docker-wrapper idea, though. Slashed it a bit.

Re: better tooling #1384

It might be worth merging it first.

A friendly ping for @neolynx

Tests are fixed now.

Let's finish those two PRs, we're on the homestretch ;)
