Summary: itest-common:
Key: BIGTOP-1033
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-1033
Project: Bigtop
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Tests
Affects Versions: 0.6.0
Reporter: Wing Yew Poon
Assignee: Wing Yew Poon
Fix For: 0.7.0
This issue pertains to bigtop-test-framework, not bigtop-tests.
When running the package tests, specifically upgrade tests, on debian
platforms, doing "env DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -y install
${pkg.name}" is not enough. dpkg will prompt you as to what to do about conf
files that have been modified, and the tests will fail because they don't
respond to the prompts.
According to
http://raphaelhertzog.com/2010/09/21/debian-conffile-configuration-file-managed-by-dpkg/,
you can use --force-conf* options; in particular
--force-confold: do not modify the current configuration file, the new version
is installed with a .dpkg-dist suffix. With this option alone, even
configuration files that you have not modified are left untouched. You need to
combine it with --force-confdef to let dpkg overwrite configuration files that
you have not modified.
