So here we are: after #6361 has been merged, time is to provide an environment to execute the automated testing on Windows.
Here are the assertions used to build the CI on Windows:
every test running on Linux should ultimately be runnable on Windows, in a cross-platform compatible manner (there is one or two exception, when a test does not have any meaning for Windows),
currently some tests are not runnable on Windows: theses tests are ignored by default when the environment is Windows using a custom decorator: @broken_on_windows,
test environment should have functionalities similar to Travis, in particular an execution test matrix against various versions of Python and Windows,
so test execution is done through AppVeyor, as it supports the requirements: it add a CI step along Travis and Codecov for each PR, all of this ensuring that Certbot is entirely functional on both Linux and Windows,
code in tests can be changed, but code in Certbot should be changed as little as possible, to avoid regression risks.
So far in this PR, I focused on the tests on Certbot core and ACME library. Concerning the plugins, it will be done later, for plugins which have an interest on Windows. Test are executed against Python 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7, for Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows Server 2016.
I succeeded at making 258/259 of acme tests to work, and 828/868 of certbot core tests to work. Most of the errors where not because of Certbot itself, but because of how the tests are written. After redesigning some test utilitaries, and things like file path handling, or CRLF/LF, a lot of the errors vanished.
I needed also to ignore a lot of IO errors typically occurring when a tearDown test process tries to delete a file before it has been closed: this kind of behavior is acceptable for Linux, but not for Windows. As a consequence, and until the tearDown process is improved, a lot of temporary files are not cleared on Windows after a test campaign.
Remaining broken tests requires a more subtile approach to solve the errors, I will correct them progressively in future PR.
Last words about tox. I did not used the existing tox.ini for now. It is just to far from what is supported on Windows: lot of bash scripts that should be rewritten completely, and that contain test logic not ready/relevant for Windows (plugin tests, Docker compilation/test, GNU distribution versatility handling and so on). So I use an independent file tox-win.ini for now, with the goal to merge it ultimately with the existing logic.
* Define a tox configuration for windows, to execute tests against Python 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7 + code coverage on Codecov.io
* Correct windows compatibility on certbot codebase
* Correct windows compatibility on certbot display functionalities
* Correct windows compatibility on certbot plugins
* Correct test utils to run tests on windows. Add decorator to skip (permanently) or mark broken (temporarily) tests on windows
* Correct tests on certbot core to run them both on windows and linux. Mark some of them as broken on windows for now.
* Lock tests are completely skipped on windows. Planned to be replace in next PR.
* Correct tests on certbot display to run them both on windows and linux. Mark some of them as broken on windows for now.
* Correct test utils for acme on windows. Add decorator to skip (permanently) or mark broken (temporarily) tests on windows.
* Correct acme tests to run them both on windows and linux. Allow a reduction of code coverage of 1% on acme code base.
* Create AppVeyor CI for Certbot on Windows, to run the test matrix (py34,35,36,37+coverage) on Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows Server 2016.
* Update changelog with Windows compatibility of Certbot.
* Corrections about tox, pyreadline and CI logic
* Correct english
* Some corrections for acme
* Newlines corrections
* Remove changelog
* Use os.devnull instead of /dev/null to be used on Windows
* Uid is a always a number now.
* Correct linting
* PR https://github.com/python/typeshed/pull/2136 has been merge to third-party upstream 6 months ago, so code patch can be removed.
* And so acme coverage should be 100% again.
* More compatible tests Windows+Linux
* Use stable line separator
* Remove unused import
* Do not rely on pytest in certbot tests
* Use json.dumps to another json embedding weird characters
* Change comment
* Add import
* Test rolling builds #1
* Test rolling builds #2
* Correction on json serialization
* It seems that rolling builds are not canceling jobs on PR. Revert back to fail fast code in the pipeline.
* feat(nginx): add and test new parsing abstractions
* chore(nginx parser): fix mypy and address small comments
* chore(nginx parser): clean up by removing context object
* fix integration test and lint
We want to discourage people from moving things around in `/etc/letsencrypt/live`! So we dropped an extra README in the `/etc/` directory when it's first created.
* Warn users not to remove/undo previous challenges
* Even more specific DNS challenge message
* Fix spacing and variable names
* Create a second test DNS challenge for UI testing
* Changelog for subsequent manual challenge behavior
Using the default value of 16 minutes (960 seconds) for
--dns-linode-propagation-seconds leads to DNS failures when the randomly
selected Linode DNS is not the first one out of six, due to an additional
delay before the other five are updated.
The problem can be easily solved by increasing the wait interval, so
this commit increases the default value to 20 minutes.

Stop caching the results of ipv6_info in http01.py. A call to choose_vhosts might change the ipv6 results of later calls. Add tests for this and default_listen_addresses more broadly.
Previously, Nginx did not allow `${` to start a variable name. Now it's allowed to. This means we'll be more permissible than Nginx when people are on older versions of Nginx, but it's unlikely anyone was relying on this to fail in the first place, so that's probably ok.
This makes errors more useful when Nginx can't be found or when Nginx's
configuration can't be found. Previously, a generic
`NoInstallationError` isn't descriptive enough to explain _what_ wasn't
installed or what failed without going digging into the source code.
* Exclude one-time use parameters. Fixes#6118
* Fix error.
* Delete items inplace, rather than creating new list.
* Fix stupid mistake.
* Use .index() for stability.
* Try previous idea while resetting the index.
* Shorter comment for pylint.
* More readable approach
* Fix whitespace
* Add and use a compatibility layer to allow certbot to be run on windows.
* Fix path comparison
* Corrections on compat and util for tests
* Less intrusive way to parse prefix in webroot plugin working for both linux and windows.
* Disable pylint import-error for some optional imports in compat.py
* Ensure path is normalized before prefixes are generated in webroot plugin
* Same prefixes in linux and windows, in fact root path is not needed in webroot plugin
* Check that user has administrative rights before continuing on windows (necessary for symlink creation)
* More straightforward way to test administrative rights on windows
* Try to resolve import error in travis ci
* OK. We go for full introspection to trick the ci.
* Move the administrative rights control to the certbot entrypoint
* Add comment for a really non trivial code.
* Allow some commands to be run on a shell without admin rights
* Avoid races conditions on windows for lock files
* Add sphinx doc to the compat functions.
* Remove irrelevant Windows error in the lock mechanism.
* Some corrections on compat
