See the following in test/py/README.md:
## Requirements
The test suite is implemented using pytest. Interaction with the U-Boot
console uses pexpect. Interaction with real hardware uses the tools of your
choice; you get to implement various "hook" scripts that are called by the
test suite at the appropriate time.
On Debian or Debian-like distributions, the following packages are required.
Similar package names should exist in other distributions.
| Package | Version tested (Ubuntu 14.04) |
| -------------- | ----------------------------- |
| python | 2.7.5-5ubuntu3 |
| python-pytest | 2.5.1-1 |
| python-pexpect | 3.1-1ubuntu0.1 |
In the main Python code, I trapped at least one exception location
and made it print a message about checking the docs for missing
requirements. I can probably patch the top-level test.py to do the
same.
Isn't there some way to inject the local to U-Boot copy of the libraries
in? I swear I've done something like that before in python..
It would certainly be possible to either check in the required Python
libraries in the U-Boot source tree, or include instructions for people
to manually create a "virtualenv" (or perhaps even automatically do this
from test.py). However, I was hoping to avoid the need to for that since
those options are a bit more complex than "just install these 3 packages
and run the script". (And in fact I've already mentioned
virtualenv-based setup instructions in the README for people which
archaic distros).
Still, if we find that varying versions of pytest/pexpect don't work
well, we could certainly choose one of those options.
BTW, I've created a ton of patches on top of all these that I haven't
posted yet. See:
git://github.com/swarren/u-boot.git tegra_dev
I'm not sure if I should squash all that into a V2 of this patch, or
just post them all as incremental fixes/enhancements?
