fix: configure the aide cron check before creating the database - #119
Conversation
The tasks that add or remove the aide check in /etc/crontab ran after aide --init, so the first aide --check reported /etc/crontab as changed. Move these two tasks before aide --init, and add a test that aide --check does not report /etc/crontab.

Priority: ➖ Normal Severity of issue fixed: Medium Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The change moves the cron configuration ahead of AIDE database initialization, so the first integrity check no longer reports the crontab as changed. The remaining issue is limited to the test: if its backup step fails, temporary files can be left on the host. This is low risk and can be addressed with a small follow-up. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

Review comments at @tests/tests_check_cron.yml:
- Around line 76-81: Register the result of the “Backup AIDE config” copy task,
then update both restore tasks in the `always` block to run only when that
backup completed successfully; keep the existing tempfile-based restore behavior
otherwise unchanged.
- Around line 62-64: Update the AIDE check using __aide_check_result so the
command task never fails before its registered result reaches an assertion;
assert the acceptable return code and that /etc/crontab is absent from stdout.
For the cron check, read /etc/crontab without modifying it, then assert that the
expected cron line is present.
- Around line 86-87: Update the crontab-only initialization test using
aide_config_template and aide_init to back up the reference database before
initialization and restore it in an always block, alongside the existing
/etc/aide.conf restoration, so later checks use the original database.
- Line 162: Add the tests::cleanup tag to both AIDE config cleanup tasks,
Restore AIDE config and Delete AIDE config tempfile, so debug runs can skip
them.

- Around line 216-226: Move the initial AIDE database stat and backup tasks
before the first role run in the tests block, so they capture the database state
at test start. In the cleanup block, keep restoring a saved database when one
existed and remove /var/lib/aide/aide.db.gz when it did not; anchor the changes
around the “Run tests,” “Check if the AIDE database exists,” and “Restore AIDE
database” tasks.

When aide_init is false the existing database is kept, so changing /etc/crontab before aide --check makes the check report it and the role fail. Configure cron before the database is created only when aide_init is true, and otherwise at the end, as before. Add a test for aide_init false with aide_check true and a cron change, using a test-only AIDE config that watches only /etc/crontab, so the result does not depend on other files that change on the system.

Enhancement:
Configure the aide check in
/etc/crontabbefore "Initialize AIDE database".Reason:
The tasks that add or remove the aide check in
/etc/crontabran afteraide --init, so the database recorded the old/etc/crontaband the firstaide --checkreported it as changed (issue #47).Result:
The two
/etc/crontabtasks now run before "Initialize AIDE database".tests/tests_check_cron.ymlnow checks thataide --checkdoes not report/etc/crontab; this check fails on the current main branch and passes with the change.Fixes #47
Issue Tracker Tickets (Jira or BZ if any): none
