The coverage report doesn't run or takes forever.

version: 18.0.0.0.0
compatibility: 18.0.0
ut_version: v3.1.3.2402
Edition: Oracle Database 18c Enterprise Edition Release 18.0.0.0.0
Port String: x86_64/Linux 2.4.xx

Information about client software
SQLDeveloper, SQLPlus, utPLSQL-cli

To Reproduce
./utplsql run ***/***@host:1521/*** -f=ut_coverage_html_reporter -o=coverage.html

Expected behavior
A HTML file with the coverage report

Details of the issue
A couple of "utPLSQL" and "JDBC Thin Client" database sessions get stuck waiting forever for the following wait-events:

  • resmgr:cpu quantum
  • PL/SQL lock timer
  • PX Deq: Execute Reply

The SQL running queries are:

select full_name
       , owner
       , name
       , line
       , to_be_skipped
       , text
from (
  select lower(s.owner || '.' || s.name) as full_name
         , s.owner
         , s.name
         , s.line - coalesce(
    case
      when type != 'TRIGGER' then
        0
    end
  ,(
    select min(t.line) - 1
    from dba_source t
    where t.owner = s.owner
          and t.type = s.type
          and t.name = s.name
          and regexp_like(t.text, '[A-Za-z0-9$#_]*(begin|declare|compound).*', 'i')
  )) as line
         , s.text
         , case
    when
                     -- to avoid execution of regexp_like on every line
                     -- first do a rough check for existence of search pattern keyword
     ( lower(s.text) like '%procedure%'
           or lower(s.text) like '%function%'
           or lower(s.text) like '%begin%'
           or lower(s.text) like '%end%'
           or lower(s.text) like '%package%' )
         and regexp_like ( s.text
    , '^([\t ]*(((not)?\s*(overriding|final|instantiable)[\t ]*)*(static|constructor|member)?[\t ]*(procedure|function)|package([\t ]+body)|begin|end([\t ]+\S+)*[ \t]*;))'
    , 'i' ) then
      'Y'
  end as to_be_skipped
  from dba_source s
  where s.owner in (
    select upper(t.column_value)
    from table ( :l_schema_names ) t
  )
        and s.type not in (
    'PACKAGE'
    , 'TYPE'
    , 'JAVA SOURCE'
  )
             --Exclude calls to utPLSQL framework, Unit Test packages and objects from a_exclude_list parameter of coverage reporter
        and ( s.owner
  , s.name ) not in (
    select el.owner
           , el.name
    from table ( :l_skipped_objects ) el
  )
)
where line > 0

and

select column_value as text
from table ( ( :b1 ).get_lines ( :b2
, :b3 ) )

Running the tests works fine. Only the Coverage Report doesn't run.

Hi did you try 3.1.7? There were improvements in terms of overall performance.

Hey, I'll try it.

What schema are you running coverage on?
How many code objects (packages /triggers/procedures etc) do you have in that schema?
If the query is stuck I suspect it's due to huge schema or lack of up to date fixed table statistics.

@rafael-trevisan

I'm running on the application schema.

Not many packages/triggers. About 30 packages and 60 triggers. Shouldn't take this long. I remember running the same "Coverage Report" not so long ago and it was fine. The only big change I can recall was changing the Oracle from non-pdb to pdb. Other than that is the same. I will get utPLSQL upgraded in the server this week and will try again.

Table stats seem to be fine too.

Hi guys, I upgraded utPLSQL to 3.1.7 but it didn't fix the issue.

Whenever I run a Coverage Report it gets stuck.

The findings I have so far are:

  • it seems utPLSQL ends up opening 2 sessions (module utPLSQL) and these 2 sessions run the same query in parallel (px), however, one session gets blocked by the other. When this happens the CPU on the server goes up to 100% and then it never finishes running the report.

I will be troubleshooting this today. If someone has any idea or suggestion they'd be very appreciated :)

Another finding here:

The DBA also pointed another related session under the module "JDBC Thin Client". He said this session was waiting due to a dbms_session.lock

Don't know if that helps somehow

Hey @rafael-trevisan , which version of utplsql-cli are you using?
You can find out by doing ./utplsql info
It would also be great if you did a run with -d parameter and send me the output:
./utplsql run ***/***@host:1521/*** -f=ut_coverage_html_reporter -o=coverage.html

Another thing here.

If I run within SQLDev the Coverage Report for a single package, it works:

begin
  ut.run(
    'my_schema', ut_coverage_html_reporter(),     
     a_include_objects => ut_varchar2_list('my_package')
  );
end;

However, if I remove the filter for the objects, it gets stuck again with the same wait event in the same query.

Hi guys,

Some update on this.

The DBA did some investigation, and after commenting out (for only testing purpose) the line 60 of ut3.ut_coverage we got the Coverage Report working here.

The line we commented out is:

and regexp_like( t.text, '[A-Za-z0-9$#_]*(begin|declare|compound).*','i')

If we put this line back, the session gets stuck again and never finishes.

Would this be safe to use as a workaround or could that bring potentially problem that we aren't aware?

I believe it will report incorrectly on lines for triggers. Would be interesting to see what executions plans are selected.

@rafael-trevisan

I will try to get the execution plan here.

Would there be a way to run the Coverage Report only for packages then? I mean, I know there are parameters to filter including/excluding object names, but am not sure about object types.

I don't think so but that's probably a good enhancements idea.
Do you have an source code of packages in file? If so you can try to use a a_source_file_mappings and if you point on folder with source code that have only packages than it will limit. But that's very depend on how your db project is setup. Maybe @jgebal got some idea?

@rafael-trevisan

I do have all my source code in files. I tried to use this mapping parameter once but I didn't get much lucky.

My current folder structure is:

./db
    src
        packages
            package1.pks
            package1.pkb
            package2.pks
            package2.pkb
    test
        test_package1.pks
        test_package1.pkb
        test_package2.pks
        test_package2pkb

How would be the a_source_file_mappings with this structure?

From docs: http://utplsql.org/utPLSQL/v3.1.7/userguide/coverage.html
If its a single owner schema it should be straight forward for BASH e.g.:

utPLSQL-cli/bin/utplsql run test_runner/pass@db_url \
 -p=tests_owner \
 -source_path=src -owner=code_owner \
 -test_path=tests     -owner=tests_owner \
 -f=ut_coverage_html_reporter -o=coverage.html \
 -f=ut_sonar_test_reporter    -o=test_results.xml

In that section of documentation there are couple good examples.

Hello,
Have you been able to workaround this issue ? I am running into it as well, it runs for 2 hours and then timeout. I have tried to use CLI and directly in SQL dev, without success. I have double checks installation process and given rights, increase tablespaces, execute coverage report multiple times so it might finish...

Regards,

Well I have tried with your 'utPLSQL-demo-project-develop' and it is working so I do believe the framework do not like big schema.

@rafael-trevisan, I'm not sure what is causing the problem. But your database configuration leads to a parallel query on the data dictionary views. I made some tests and forced parallel executions with various degrees. In my cases this lead to much longer execution times.

Hence, I suggest to try the following based on the example you posted previously.

alter session disable parallel query;
alter session disable parallel dml;
begin
  ut.run(
    'my_schema', ut_coverage_html_reporter()
  );
end;
/

Currently, you can't make cli set specific session parameters.
This possibility might be added in a future version:
utPLSQL/utPLSQL-cli#103

Shouldn't this be fixed at DB itself?
Seems like your database is misconfigured and querying dba_source goes parallel causing performance issiues.
It will be hard for utplsql to address all possible db config challenges.
We could add noparrallel hint to coverage query though I'm not sure if it's right thing to do.
We might fix it for some and break it for others.

hello,
for me disabling parallel query and dml remove the timeout, so now my coverage has been running for more than 6hours now. The database im running into is docker image created from Oracle repo itself, I can make any change I want to since I am administering it even if I am not the dba of my company. But what parameters should I change ?

regards,
vincent

Would be helpful to hint these queries that access the data dictionary to not run in parallel?

@rafael-trevisan first of all we have to find the root cause. So, the questions remains. How long did the anonymous PL/SQL block ran in your environment (with disable parallel query and parallel dml)?

Yes, definitely. I meant as a workaround until 2020 when Oracle replies the SR

@rafael-trevisan and what is the runtime without parallel query/dml? Without this information we do not know if this is a viable workaround.

I'll uncomment the line and regexp_like( t.text, '[A-Za-z0-9$#_]*(begin|declare|compound).*','i') and will test it. Will share the results here.

But what parameters should I change ?

@tetardv I suggest to run

begin
   dbms_stats.gather_dictionary_stats;
end;
/

before trying to run the coverage report again.

But we already know that commenting out this line helps and that it produces a false result. So, I suggest to test it without changing the utPLSQL code. Thanks.

Hi all, disabling the parallel in the session didn't resolve the issue. It changed indeed the wait event from PX deq something to db file sequential read, but it never finished running the report.

After continuing the investigation it became clear that and regexp_like(... was making the inner query to be very very slow. When we changed the line 60 to be a set of or t.text like '%begin%' (pseudo-code just as example), it ran beautifully.

Interestingly, line 66 seems to have thought about this issue 🤔

Anyways, in the end the DBA changed a bit the query to keep the regex_like but he used the with command to query the dba_source just once and then pointed the outer and inner query to use this "with dataset". This workaround also worked beautifully (even faster than having or like or like or like) and it's the one we decided to keep.

We will post here the code he changed, but I hope this comment helps to understand and explain the issue.

Thanks @rafael-trevisan
I will include that fix (once you publish it).
I also have another improvement for coverage query waiting to be published.
You can see it here

The idea is to separate the more complex query (on Triggers) from the one that is more straightforward.
If your schema doesn't contain triggers, you should see it running a bit faster too.

hello,
Removing the line 'and regexp_like( t.text, '[A-Za-z0-9$#_](begin|declare|compound).','i')' worked for me as well. And @PhilippSalvisberg only created the html file with no input, it find no objects at all.
looking forward to have this issue fix then. Thank you guys.

Regards,
vincent.

Can you provide the modified query text?
