This was a placeholder at one point but modules grew to depend on it
being a string. Fix these dependencies and set the root namespace
name to None so there is no more special case needed to handle both
a named namespace and the original 'root' namespace.
mac80211_hwsim has a funny quirk with multiple addresses in
radios. Some operations require address index zero, some index
one. And these addresses (possibly a result of how test-runner
initializes radios) sometimes get mixed up. For example scan
results may show a BSS address as 02:00:00:00:00:00, while the
next test run shows 42:00:00:00:00:00.
Ultimately, sending out frames requires the first nibble of the
address to be 0x4 so to handle both variants of addresses described
above hwsim.py was updated to always bitwise OR the first byte
with 0x40.
There are really no cases where a test wants to remove a single
rule. Most loop through and remove rules individually so this
is being added as a convenience.
Certain autotests coupled with slower test machines can result in lost
beacons and "Network not found" errors. In attempt to help with this
the test can just rescan (30 seconds max) until the network is found.
The destructor was trying to do more than the scope of a destructor
by trying to handle this single case of hostapd being restarted.
Instead we can simply pass a keyword argument 'reinit' to the
constructor to tell it to reinitialize everything. And as for killing
hostapd this can be done in ungraceful_restart itself rather than
trying to handle it in the destructor.
This addresses the TODO where HostapdCLI was creating separate
objects each time HostapdCLI was called. This was worked around
by manually setting the important members but instead the class
can be re-worked to act as somewhat of a singleton, per-config
at least.
If there is no HostapdCLI instance for a given config one is
created and initialized. Subsequent HostapdCLI calls (for the
same config) will be returned the same object rather than a
new one.
get_ordered_network() now scans automatically and has been updated
to use the StationDebug.Scan() API rather than doing a full
dbus scan (unless full_scan = True). The frequencies to be scanned
are picked automatically based on the current hostapd status
(hidden behind ctx.hostapd.get_frequency()).
There is a common block of code in nearly every test which is incorrect,
most likely a copy-paste from long ago. It goes something like:
wd.wait_for_object_condition(device, 'not obj.scanning')
device.scan()
wd.wait_for_object_condition(device, 'not obj.scanning')
network = device.get_ordered_network("ssid")
The problem here is that sometimes the scanning property does not get
updated fast enough before device.scan() returns, meaning get_ordered_network
comes up with nothing. Some tests pass scan_if_needed=True which 'fixes'
this but ends up re-scanning after the original scan finishes.
To put this to rest scan_if_needed is now defaulted to True, and no
explicit scan should be needed.
This will use the Roam() developer method to force a roam to
a certain BSS. This is particularly useful for any test requiring
roams that are not testing IWD's BSS selection logic. Rather than
creating hwsim rules, setting low RSSI values, and waiting for the
roam logic/scan to happen Roam() can be used to force the roam
logic immediately.
Several tests tests for connectivity with the expectation that it
will fail. This ends up taking 30+ seconds because testutil retries
3 times, each with a 10 second timeout. By passing expect_fail=True
this lowers the timeout to zero, and skips any retries.
Break up the SAE tests into two parts: testSAE and testSAE-AntiClogging
testSAE is simplified to only use two radios and a single phy managed
by hostapd. hostapd configurations are changed via the new 'set_value'
method added to hostapd utils. This allows forcing hostapd to use a
particular sae group set, or force hostapd to use SAE H2E/Hunting and
Pecking Loop for key derivation. A separate test for IKE Group 20 is no
longer required and is folded into connection_test.py
testSAE-AntiClogging is added with an environment for 5 radios instead
of 7, again with hostapd running on a single phy. 'sae_pwe' is used to
force hostapd to use SAE H2E or Hunting and Pecking for key derivation.
Both Anti-Clogging protocol variants are thus tested.
main.conf is added to both directories to force scan randomization off.
This seems to be required for hostapd to work properly on hwsim.
This is similar to wait_for_object_condition, but will not allow
any intermediate state changes between the initial and expected
conditions. This is useful for roaming tests when the expected
state change is 'connected' --> 'roaming' with no changes in
between.
Sometimes scan results can come in with a MAC address which
should be in the first index of addrs[] (42:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx).
This causes a failure to lookup the radio path.
There was also a failure path added if the radio cannot be
found rather than rely on DBus to fail with a None path.
The arguments to SendFrame were also changed to use the
ByteArray DBus type rather than python's internal bytearray.
This shouldn't have any effect, but its more consistent with
how DBus arguments should be used.
After recent changes fixing wait_for_object_condition it was accidentally
made to only work with classes, not other types of objects. Instead
create a minimal class to hold _wait_timed_out so it doesnt rely on
'obj' holding the boolean.
The testAPRoam autotest was silently failing on my machine until I
realized that my distribution hostapd (Arch Linux) is not built with
CONFIG_WNM_AP=y. Indeed, it is also disabled by default in upstream
hostapd. This resulted in the send_bss_transition() function of
hostapd.py silently failing. With this change, throw an exception in
case the BSS_TM_REQ command does not succeed to hopefully save others
the time of debugging this problem.
There were some major problems related to logging and process
output. Tests which required output from start_process would
break if used with '--log/--verbose'. This is because we relied
on 'communicate' to retrieve the process output, but Popen does
not store process output when stdout/stderr are anything other
than PIPE.
Intead, in the case of logging or outfiles, we can simply read
from the file we just wrote to.
For an explicit --verbose application we must handle things
slightly different. A keyword argument was added to Process,
'need_out' which will ensure the process output is kept
regardless of --log or --verbose.
Now a user should be able to use --log/--verbose without any
tests failing.
