Fix flaky acceptance test (#2310)
## Changes
Replace timestamps with fixed string before output is sorted (and before
test runner replacements are applied).

Otherwise the test sometimes fails with error below. Note, timestamps
themselves do not show it, because they were replaced.

## Tests
Running `hyperfine --min-runs 10 'go test ../.. -run
^TestAccept$/^bundle$/^debug$ -count=1' --show-output` detects flakiness
on main but not with this PR.

README.md

Acceptance tests are blackbox tests that are run against compiled binary.

Currently these tests are run against "fake" HTTP server pretending to be Databricks API. However, they will be extended to run against real environment as regular integration tests.

To author a test,

  • Add a new directory under acceptance. Any level of nesting is supported.
  • Add databricks.yml there.
  • Add script with commands to run, e.g. $CLI bundle validate. The test case is recognized by presence of script.

The test runner will run script and capture output and compare it with output.txt file in the same directory.

In order to write output.txt for the first time or overwrite it with the current output pass -update flag to go test.

The scripts are run with bash -e so any errors will be propagated. They are captured in output.txt by appending Exit code: N line at the end.

For more complex tests one can also use:

  • errcode helper: if the command fails with non-zero code, it appends Exit code: N to the output but returns success to caller (bash), allowing continuation of script.
  • trace helper: prints the arguments before executing the command.
  • custom output files: redirect output to custom file (it must start with out), e.g. $CLI bundle validate > out.txt 2> out.error.txt.

See selftest for a toy test.
