Modify the existing frequency test to check that the ordering
lines up with the ranking of the BSS.
Add a test to check that quick scans limit the number of known
frequencies.
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.
Slower systems may not be able to make some timeouts that tests
mandated. All timeouts were increased significantly to allow tests
to pass on slow systems.
Don't use del wd to dereference the IWD instance at the end of the function
where it has been defined in the first place as at this point wd is about
to have its reference count decreased anyway (the variable's scope is
ending) so it's pointless (but didn't hurt).
Relying on the __del__ destructor to kill the IWD process in those tests
it has been started in the constructor is a bit of a hack in the first
place, because the destructor is called on garbage collection and even
through CPython does this on the refcount reaching 0, this is not
documented and there's no guideline on when it should happen or if it
should happen at all. So it could be argued that we should keep the del
wd statemenets to be able to easily replace all of them with a call to a
new method. But most of them are not placed so that they're guaranteed
to happen on test success or failure. It would probably be easier to do
this and other housekeeping in a base class and make the tests its
subclasses. Also some of these tests don't really need to launch iwd
themselves, since IWD now tracks changes in the known network files I
think IWD only really needs to be killed between tests when main.conf
changes.
At some point a stray ';' got added into an autotest in a section
of code that is heavily copy pasted. So in turn nearly all the autotests
have this stray ';' after list_devices (and a few in other places).
1) wait for a device to become available
2) add try, except block for the clean termination of iwd in
the case of a failure
3) increase the max execution time to help with valgrind
