All tests which could avoid calling scan() directly have been
changed to use the 'full_scan' argument to get_ordered_network.
This was done because of unreliable scanning behavior on slower
systems, like VMs. If we get unlucky with the scheduler some beacons
are not received in time and in turn scan results are missing.
Using full_scan=True works around this issue by repeatedly scanning
until the SSID is found.
This changes all tests to use the default get_ordered_network behavior
rather than some custom or incorrect logic. Any use of
scan_if_needed=True has been removed since this is now the default.
Also any explicit scanning has been removed for tests which do not
require it (where the default behavior is good enough).
With the addition of connect_bssid/roam very few tests actually
require hwsim. Since hwsim can lead to problems with scan results
its best to have it off by default and have each test that needs
it explicitly turn it on.
Tests which previously turned it off have had that option removed.
Tests that do require hwsim still are vulnerable to scan result
problems, so for these tests beacon_int was added to the hostapd
config which seems to help with reliability somewhat.
After the test-runner re-write many tests were left with
stale options that are no longer used at all. These were
periodically getting removed as changes were made to
individual tests, but its apparent now that a tree wide
removal was needed.
Many tests waited on the network object 'connected' property after
issuing a Connect command. This is not correct as 'connected' is
set quite early in the connection process. The correct way of doing
this is waiting for the device state to change to connected.
This common code was replaced, hopefully putting to rest any random
failures that happen occasionally.
The tests basically remained the same with a few minor changes.
The wiphy_map and in turn hostapd_map are no longer used. This
was already partially converted a long time ago when the 'config'
parameter was added to HostapdCLI. This patch fully converts all
autotests to use 'config' rather than looking up by interface.
Some test scripts were named 'test.py' which was fine before but
the new rewrite actually loads each python test as a module. The
name 'test' is too ambiguous and causes issues due to a native
python module with the same name. All of these files were
renamed to 'connection_test.py'.
This removes all the duplicated code where the interfaces are iterated
and the radio/hostapd instances are created. Instead the two new APIs
are used to get each instance, e.g.:
hapd = HostapdCLI(config='ssid.conf')
radio = hwsim.get_radio('radX')
In the tests that only want to iterate over the hostapd interfaces,
simplify the pattern of walking through the whole wiphy_map tree by
instead using the hostapd_map variable which is already filtered to only
contain hostapd interfaces.
This is a VERY simple test for HT/VHT. Since there are so many potential
options in the IE this really just tests that drops in RSSI will cause
IWD to choose a different BSS, even if that means choosing HT over VHT,
or even basic rates over HT/VHT.
