This introduces a base class for tests that need to interact with a Linux guest. It generalizes the "boot_linux.py" code, already been used by the "virtiofs_submounts.py" and also SSH related code being used by that and "linux_ssh_mips_malta.py".
While at it, a number of fixes on hopeful improvements to those tests were added. Changes from v1: * Majority of v1 patches have been merged. * New patches: - Acceptance Tests: make username/password configurable - Acceptance Tests: set up SSH connection by default after boot for LinuxTest - tests/acceptance/virtiofs_submounts.py: remove launch_vm() * Allowed for the configuration of the network device type (defaulting to virtio-net) [Phil] * Fix module name typo (s/qemu.util/qemu.utils/) in the commit message [John] * Tests based on LinuxTest will have the SSH connection already prepared Cleber Rosa (10): tests/acceptance/virtiofs_submounts.py: add missing accel tag tests/acceptance/virtiofs_submounts.py: evaluate string not length Python: add utility function for retrieving port redirection Acceptance Tests: move useful ssh methods to base class Acceptance Tests: add port redirection for ssh by default Acceptance Tests: make username/password configurable Acceptance Tests: set up SSH connection by default after boot for LinuxTest tests/acceptance/virtiofs_submounts.py: remove launch_vm() Acceptance Tests: add basic documentation on LinuxTest base class Acceptance Tests: introduce CPU hotplug test docs/devel/testing.rst | 25 ++++++++ python/qemu/utils.py | 35 ++++++++++++ tests/acceptance/avocado_qemu/__init__.py | 63 +++++++++++++++++++-- tests/acceptance/hotplug_cpu.py | 37 ++++++++++++ tests/acceptance/info_usernet.py | 29 ++++++++++ tests/acceptance/linux_ssh_mips_malta.py | 44 ++------------- tests/acceptance/virtiofs_submounts.py | 69 +++-------------------- tests/vm/basevm.py | 7 +-- 8 files changed, 198 insertions(+), 111 deletions(-) create mode 100644 python/qemu/utils.py create mode 100644 tests/acceptance/hotplug_cpu.py create mode 100644 tests/acceptance/info_usernet.py -- 2.25.4
