Description Rick Conrad 2019-09-20 08:32:50 UTC
I had plack working fine before this morning, but now if I have plack enabled, Koha does not respond to web requests, and apache eventually shows me a 502. These are the entries from plack-error.log. I don't know what swagger.io is - seems there is such a website, but I can't `curl` it from the webserver, at least right now.

plack-error.log
````
Error while loading /etc/koha/plack.psgi: Can't load application from file "/usr/share/koha/api/v1/app.pl": [JSON::Validator] GET http://swagger.io/v2/schema.json == Inactivity timeout at /usr/share/perl5/JSON/Validator.pm line 274.
Compilation failed in require at (eval 389) line 1.

````

The only change I made this morning was changing the server's timezone, but I doubt that's related. I did put it back to UTC, but no improvement. Disabling plack works for me, but my site is a lot slower (and it wasn't real quick to begin with).
Comment 1 Rick Conrad 2019-09-20 10:10:11 UTC
I observed later that I was able to reach swagger.io from the server, so I tried reenabling plack and now it's working.

So, this may properly be a plack issue and not a koha issue, but it seems like my library site ought to work whether or not I can connect to swagger.io, whatever that is.
Comment 2 Tomás Cohen Arazi (tcohen) 2019-09-23 13:21:52 UTC
Can you give us more information on your setup? The 'swagger file' is bundled in Koha and there shouldn't be any external system reached out.

It would help if you additionally:

$ sudo apt install pmtools

and then we need the output for:

$ pmvers JSON::Validator
$ pmvers Mojolicious
$ pmvers Mojolicious::Plugin::OpenAPI

Comment 4 Chad Billman 2020-06-23 18:55:55 UTC
I was able to reproduce this on a fresh installation of koha 20.05 from packages on debian buster.

I have the webserver behind a firewall blocking all outbound traffic and could not get the koha installer to launch. After digging into the logs I saw the same connection timeouts to swagger.io

As soon as I opened up our firewall the installer loaded.

You can also reproduce this by dropping something bogus in your /etc/hosts file for swagger.io and restarting plack

For example - 

127.0.0.1 swagger.io

hi Rick
which debian version is this output from? buster?
Comment 6 Rick Conrad 2020-06-23 23:21:02 UTC
I don't have it on-hand, but I believe it was Ubuntu 18.04.

> I don't have it on-hand, but I believe it was Ubuntu 18.04.

for 18.04, try running these commands

$ sudo echo 'deb http://debian.koha-community.org/koha 20.05 main bionic' >  /etc/apt/sources.list.d/koha.list 
$ sudo apt-get update; apt-get -y upgrade
$ sudo apt install pmtools

you should have...
$ pmvers JSON::Validator
3.06
$ pmvers Mojolicious
8.12
$ pmvers Mojolicious::Plugin::OpenAPI
2.12
Comment 8 Tomás Cohen Arazi (tcohen) 2020-06-24 00:02:45 UTC
This looks really bad if Koha is trying to contact an external site on start-up

Comment 10 Mason James 2020-06-24 03:15:02 UTC
hmm, this does look like a legitimate bug, caused by 22522

the 'try' block always fails with...

 Can't locate object method "bundle" via package "JSON::Validator::OpenAPI::Mojolicious" at /kohadevbox/koha/Koha/REST/V1.pm line 76.


...and the 'catch' block calls validator->load_and_validate_schema() which does a lookup to swagger.io


./Koha/REST/V1.pm
 72
 73     # Try to load and merge all schemas first and validate the result just once.
 74     my $spec;
 75     try {
 76         $spec = $validator->bundle(
 77             {
 78                 replace => 1,
 79                 schema => $self->home->rel_file("api/v1/swagger/swagger.json")
 80             }
 81         );
 82

100     }
101     catch {
102         # Validation of the complete spec failed. Resort to validation one-by-one
103         # to catch bad ones.
104         $validator->load_and_validate_schema(
105             $self->home->rel_file("api/v1/swagger/swagger.json"),
106             {
107                 allow_invalid_ref  => 1,
108             }

^ oops, ignore that - i was testing on jessie :)


the problem seems to be that the debian libjson-validator-perl package has the 'cache' dir omitted, which contains local copies of the various schemas


Rick, a quick solution to the problem is to restore the cached schemas

$ git clone https://github.com/mojolicious/json-validator
$ cd json-validator
$ git reset --hard 3.06
HEAD is now at 8b19ba0 Released version 3.06

$ sudo cp -a ./lib/JSON/Validator/cache /usr/share/perl5/JSON/Validator/
Comment 12 Chad Billman 2020-06-24 11:51:58 UTC
I followed the steps Jason provided to restore the cache folder on debian buster. 

Plack was able to start even when access to swagger.io was blocked.

Thanks!

looks like the schemas were removed due to a license issue...

That's weird. The schema is clearly licensed on the OpenAPI repository. It maybe I got it is about the process to acknowledge that on Debian side:

https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/blob/master/LICENSE
Comment 15 Victor Grousset/tuxayo 2020-06-25 21:35:01 UTC
This bug is marked as only affecting version 19.05.x, but it seem to affect 20.05 (as likely master) also, right?
Comment 16 Victor Grousset/tuxayo 2020-06-30 02:36:01 UTC
== Test plan ==
1. In /etc/hosts , add «127.0.0.1    swagger.io»
2. try to load a page
3. it works
4. koha-plack --restart kohadev
5. try to load a page
6. endless or timeout loading
7. remove the sabotage from /etc/hosts
8. after a few seconds, the page will load

Confirmed on master.
It works on 19.05


(In reply to Mason James from comment #10)
> hmm, this does look like a legitimate bug, caused by 22522

Possibly. Because 19.05.x doesn't have bug 22522 patches
Comment 17 Ian Gordon 2020-06-30 21:10:38 UTC
Hi,

At about 21:00UTC today we also started to have this problem.

We're running 19.05.12 on Ubuntu 18.04.

The solution in comment 11 seems to work for now.

% pmvers JSON::Validator
1.08
% pmvers Mojolicious
7.59
% pmvers Mojolicious::Plugin::OpenAPI
1.15

Error message in plack-error.log is:

Error while loading /etc/koha/plack.psgi: Can't load application from file "/usr/share/koha/api/v1/app.pl": [JSON::Validator] GET http://swagger.io/v2/schema.json == Connect timeout at /usr/share/perl5/JSON/Validator.pm line 274.

Issue reported to upstream's upstream: https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger.io/issues/281
Comment 19 David Cook 2020-07-01 00:37:52 UTC
A solution to this problem is to provide our own argument "schema" argument to the load_and_validate_schema() method. 

https://metacpan.org/pod/JSON::Validator#load_and_validate_schema

I've looked through the code and there's a variety of ways of providing the schema, which we can source from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mojolicious/json-validator/3.06/lib/JSON/Validator/cache/36d1bd12eeed51e86c8695bd8876a9df

I'd say we should provide it as a local file, so that we're not relying on any web servers to provide this crucial file.

Yeah, the CPAN version of that module comes with the "cache" which the Debian package excludes, so you'll be fine with that. 

But it's a short-term solution.

Maybe. I think there is more to this than we think.

Consider ./Koha/REST/V1.pm:

$validator->bundle uses a schema of $self->home->rel_file("api/v1/swagger/swagger.json"), which is a drastically reduced schema file.

Calls to $validator->load_and_validate_schema (in ./Koha/REST/V1.pm and ./Koha/REST/Plugin/PluginRoutes.pm) don't use that same schema. They try to fetch http://swagger.io/v2/schema.json.

The question I have is whether they should all be using $self->home->rel_file("api/v1/swagger/swagger.json"), or if *some* calls should use our local swagger.json and others should use the full swagger 2.0 schema.
Comment 26 David Cook 2020-07-01 01:52:29 UTC
Oh wait I'm misunderstanding...

$validator->bundle is just loading the schema... and it doesn't validate it.

Whereas $validator->load_and_validate_schema loads the schema, but then validates it against the Swagger 2.0 API schema. 

Wow, JSON::Validator really overloads the word "schema" in its code...
Comment 27 David Cook 2020-07-01 01:54:23 UTC
From what I can see, we're not actually validating the schema in ./Koha/REST/V1.pm when we use bundle(). 

We only validate it in ./Koha/REST/V1.pm when we do the catch{} block.

And we always validate ./Koha/REST/Plugin/PluginRoutes.pm.

Ok... yeah re-packaging libjson-validator-perl to include the "cache" probably makes the most sense. 

I'm going to post a code-level patch anyway (partially just because I'm already this far anyway)

(In reply to David Cook from comment #27)
> I'm going to post a code-level patch anyway (partially just because I'm

Plus, if I do that, then we wouldn't have to maintain another custom package dependency...
Comment 29 David Cook 2020-07-01 02:12:54 UTC
Actually, it looks like Koha::REST::Plugin::PluginRoutes doesn't receive the validator.

It looks like the OpenAPI plugin must be calling a validator and that's where it's failing...

Indeed, that way, deployers only have to update the perl-deps, no patch to apply.

Bug 23653: use local copy of swagger v2 schema

By default, JSON::Validator::OpenAPI tries to fetch the
swagger v2 schema from http://swagger.io/v2/schema.json.

If you've installed from CPAN, JSON::Validator::OpenAPI will
come with a cached copy, so it won't try to fetch it over HTTP.

However, if you've installed from libjson-validator-perl
from Debian/Ubuntu, the Debian package excludes the cached copy,
so JSON::Validator::OpenAPI tries to fetch it over HTTP.

Unfortunately, today and other days in the past, the file at
http://swagger.io/v2/schema.json has been unavailable, and this causes
Koha to crash in a perpetual loop.

This patch includes a copy of the swagger v2 schema, and it loads
it locally rather than fetching over HTTP.

The changes to Koha/REST/Plugin/PluginRoutes.pm are not required,
since the validator isn't currently called there, but I've added
a patch to future proof it.

To Test:
0a) Remove /usr/share/perl5/JSON/Validator/cache/36d1bd12eeed51e86c8695bd8876a9df
if it exists
0b) Block external access to http://swagger.io/v2/schema.json or
test during an outage when it's unavailable
0c) Do not apply patch
1) koha-plack --restart kohadev
2) Note that it crashes in a loop and is unavailable in web browser
3) Apply patch
4) koha-plack --restart kohadev
5) Note that Koha comes up and there are no errors in the Plack logs

Should we actually expect a significant number of instances to have more difficulty applying such a simple patch (just this patch, not updating Koha) compared to updating the perl deps?

The question is whether or not packaging libjson-validator-perl during some time is worth it. Not sure now.

Also, if http://swagger.io/v2/schema.json would work again tomorrow that would help letting those instances count on that until their next Koha update.

I'm curious about this as well. While we felt this in production in Australia, I'm guessing the rest of the world might not feel it for another few hours.

I don't know where Jonathan is physically located these days, but I'm guessing that we may have just missed him as well, so the Koha world is in for an interesting day...
Comment 35 David Cook 2020-07-01 04:00:06 UTC
Mason announced 30 minutes ago on koha-devel that he's updated the libjson-validator-perl package.

hi Folks
i've updated the 'libjson-validator-perl' package to include the cache dir

I've tested the new package in koha-testing-docker and it looks good.

I'd recommend to people starting their day to look at https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=23653#c11 for a quick fix to get through the worst of things right now.
Comment 38 David Cook 2020-07-01 07:22:17 UTC
I think Mason found that newer versions of Ubuntu weren't installing 3.06 as they were using newer versions, but it looks like he's now released a 3.23+dfsg-1+koha1 version.

I've installed that on Debian Jessie in koha-testing-docker, and it looks like it's working successfully.

So folk using the Debian packages shoudl be able to just do the following:

apt-get update
apt-get install libjson-validator-perl
Comment 39 David Cook 2020-07-01 07:40:10 UTC
Ok that 3.23 is still in the staging repo.

If you're running a Debian/Ubuntu package, you'll be vulnerable, but not if you're running a Koha Community package. 

So you should be fine on Debian Jessie and Debian Stretch and Ubuntu Xenial. 

If you're on anything newer than those, you'll need to upgrade to the Koha Community 3.06 (or 3.23 when it is available) as per the table below:

__Koha Community Apt Repo__
libjson-validator-perl_0.67+dfsg-1~koha1_all.deb
libjson-validator-perl_0.97-1~kohadev1_all.deb
libjson-validator-perl_3.06+dfsg-1+koha1_all.deb

__Debian__
Stretch 9: libjson-validator-perl (0.92+dfsg-1)
Buster 10: libjson-validator-perl (3.06+dfsg-1)
Bullseye 11: libjson-validator-perl (3.25+dfsg-1)

__Ubuntu__
Xenial 16.04: libjson-validator-perl (0.66+dfsg-1)
Bionic 18.04: libjson-validator-perl (1.08+dfsg-1)
Eoan 19.10: libjson-validator-perl (3.14+dfsg-1)

Groovy 20.10: libjson-validator-perl (3.25+dfsg-1)
Comment 40 David Cook 2020-07-01 07:57:49 UTC
Here's a condensed version of the above:

Good (don't worry):
- Debian Jessie 8
- Debian Stretch 9
- Ubuntu Xenial 16.04

Bad (do worry): 
- Debian Buster 10 (and above)
- Ubuntu Bionic 18.04 (and above)
Comment 41 Fridolin Somers 2020-07-01 12:05:12 UTC
For Ubuntu Debian, we at biblibre installed from CPAN JSON::Validator 4.01 and added the cache file.
It works without patch on sources.

Confirming the same: just using cpanm with only one this updated all quickfixed, temporarily for libs, but now I am learning how to make this solution stable, reading all above & tracking :).
Comment 46 Marcel de Rooy 2020-07-02 09:15:00 UTC
How often this schema changes ? Need to check for updates ?
Comment 47 Victor Grousset/tuxayo 2020-07-02 17:31:31 UTC
From what I understand, it's a schema from a version of the OpenAPI Specification. Something like the draft 4 of the version 2.

Here we can compare a version from 2014 and from now.
https://web.archive.org/web/20141019005411/https://swagger.io/v2/schema.json
vs
https://web.archive.org/web/20200702172005/https://schema.swagger.io/v2/schema.json


Here is the actual source it seems:
https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/blob/c196cac8191069fa97028c2f1ae322d11a74f891/schemas/v2.0/schema.json
vs
https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/blob/master/schemas/v2.0/schema.json


I would *guess* it will stay backward compatible.
Comment 48 Andrii Nugged 2020-07-02 23:55:36 UTC
Note by the way, 

these changes with dependencies brought issues with fresh installations: 

on Ubuntu 18.04 with those regular steps which worked everywhere usually before,
(preps + "apt-get install koha-common" and voila) now fails with: 

  install 'koha-common' failed: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
  Depends: libmojolicious-plugin-openapi-perl but it is not going to be installed               
  Depends: libnet-oauth2-authorizationserver-perl but it is not going to be installed


This was when:

  "deb http://debian.koha-community.org/koha 20.05 main"

(https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_Debian#Follow_a_codename_.28version_number.29:_20.05.2C_19.11.2C_19.05)

but adding mentioned above explicit release name:

  "deb http://debian.koha-community.org/koha 20.05 main bionic"

made install seamless.

I think it's not worth it. Swagger/OpenAPI 2.0 doesn't change anymore (last change was in 2017)

my 2 cents: don't think it's worth it also.
Because here we can see migration paths from the different draft versions:
https://json-schema.org/specification.html#migrating-from-older-drafts
So backward compatibility seem to be assured.

I wouldn't think so. If our other API unit tests are passing, I'd say that's what would matter most.

Bug 23653: use local copy of swagger v2 schema

By default, JSON::Validator::OpenAPI tries to fetch the
swagger v2 schema from http://swagger.io/v2/schema.json.

If you've installed from CPAN, JSON::Validator::OpenAPI will
come with a cached copy, so it won't try to fetch it over HTTP.

However, if you've installed from libjson-validator-perl
from Debian/Ubuntu, the Debian package excludes the cached copy,
so JSON::Validator::OpenAPI tries to fetch it over HTTP.

Unfortunately, today and other days in the past, the file at
http://swagger.io/v2/schema.json has been unavailable, and this causes
Koha to crash in a perpetual loop.

This patch includes a copy of the swagger v2 schema, and it loads
it locally rather than fetching over HTTP.

The changes to Koha/REST/Plugin/PluginRoutes.pm are not required,
since the validator isn't currently called there, but I've added
a patch to future proof it.

To Test:
0a) Remove /usr/share/perl5/JSON/Validator/cache/36d1bd12eeed51e86c8695bd8876a9df
if it exists
0b) Block external access to http://swagger.io/v2/schema.json or
test during an outage when it's unavailable
0c) Do not apply patch
1) koha-plack --restart kohadev
2) Note that it crashes in a loop and is unavailable in web browser
3) Apply patch
4) koha-plack --restart kohadev
5) Note that Koha comes up and there are no errors in the Plack logs

Hi Tomas,

I'm just wondering if you have had a chance to test this yet?

Thanks,

Wainui :)

Bug 23653: [19.11] use local copy of swagger v2 schema

By default, JSON::Validator::OpenAPI tries to fetch the
swagger v2 schema from http://swagger.io/v2/schema.json.

If you've installed from CPAN, JSON::Validator::OpenAPI will
come with a cached copy, so it won't try to fetch it over HTTP.

However, if you've installed from libjson-validator-perl
from Debian/Ubuntu, the Debian package excludes the cached copy,
so JSON::Validator::OpenAPI tries to fetch it over HTTP.

Unfortunately, today and other days in the past, the file at
http://swagger.io/v2/schema.json has been unavailable, and this causes
Koha to crash in a perpetual loop.

This patch includes a copy of the swagger v2 schema, and it loads
it locally rather than fetching over HTTP.

The changes to Koha/REST/Plugin/PluginRoutes.pm are not required,
since the validator isn't currently called there, but I've added
a patch to future proof it.

To Test:
0a) Remove /usr/share/perl5/JSON/Validator/cache/36d1bd12eeed51e86c8695bd8876a9df
if it exists
0b) Block external access to http://swagger.io/v2/schema.json or
test during an outage when it's unavailable
0c) Do not apply patch
1) koha-plack --restart kohadev
2) Note that it crashes in a loop and is unavailable in web browser
3) Apply patch
4) koha-plack --restart kohadev
5) Note that Koha comes up and there are no errors in the Plack logs

The patches work as expected. Tests pass, and I tested the GOBI plugin which adds API routes. The routes are listed in /api/v1/.html as expected, and the plugin is functional.

Thanks for the rebase, Jonathan.
