The current way this was being done was to import collections and
use collections.Mapping. This has been deprecated since python 3.3
but has worked up until python 3.10. After python 3.10 this will
no longer work, and Mapping must be imported from collections.abc.
Similarly to hostapd.wait_for_event, IWD's variant needed to act on
an IO watch because events were being received prior to even calling
wait_for_event.
This was not being properly honored when existing networks were
already populated. This poses an issue for any test which uses
full_scan after setting radio values such as signal strength.
Since a Device class can represent multiple modes (AP, AdHoc, station)
move StationDebug out of the init and only create this class when it
is used (presumably only when the device is in station mode).
The StationDebug class is now created in a property method consistent
with 'station_if'. If Device is not in station mode it is automatically
switched if the test tries any StationDebug methods.
If the Device mode is changed from 'station' the StationDebug class
instance is destroyed.
Passing the full argument list to StationDebug was removed
because any existing properties (for Device) were being
included and causing incorrect behavior.
This neglected to handle namespaces which should also be
passed to StationDebug. Unfortunately the arguments are not
named when Device() is initialized so they cannot easily be
sorted. Instead just define Device() arguments to match the
DBus abstraction and pass only the path and namespace to
StationDebug
Passing *args, **kwargs into StationDebug ended up initializing the
class with Station properties since devices can be initialized from
existing property dictionaries. Since the object path is all
StationDebug needs, pass args[0] instead.
Certain scenarios coupled with lost beacons could result in OrderedNetwork
being initialized many times until the dbus library reached its maximum
signal registrations. This could happen where there are two networks,
IWD finds one in a scan but continues to scan for the other and the beacons
are lost. The way get_ordered_networks was written it returns early if any
networks are found. Since get_ordered_network (not plural) uses
get_ordered_networks() in a loop this caused OrderedNetwork's to be created
rapidly until python raises an exception.
To fix this, pass an optional list of networks being looked for to
get_ordered_networks. Only if all the networks in the list are found will
it return early, otherwise it will continue to scan.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
After the re-write this was broken and not noticed until
recently. The issue appeared to be that the GLib timeout
callback retained no context of local variables. Previously
_wait_timed_out was set as a class variable, but this was
removed so multiple IWD instances could work. Without
_wait_timed_out being a class variable the GLib timeout
setting it had no effect on the wait loop.
To fix this we can set _wait_timed_out on the object being
passed in. This is preserved in the GLib timeout callback
and setting it gets honored in the wait loop.
Certain classes were still using the default namespace. This
didn't matter yet since testAP was the only test using namespaces,
and the AP interface was the only one being used.
For an IWD station on a separate namespace all objects need to
be accessable, so the namespace is passed along to those as needed.
When network namespaces are introduced there may be multiple
IWD class instances. This makes IWD.get_instance ambiguous
when namespaces are involved. iwd.py has been refactored to
not use IWD.get_instance, but testutil still needs it since
its purely based off interface names. Rather than remove it
and modify every test to pass the IWD object we can just
maintain the existing behavior for only the root namespace.
The agent path was generated based on the current time which
sometimes yielded duplicate paths if agents were created quickly
after one another. Instead a simple iterator removes any chance
of a duplicate path.
If the caller specifies the number of devices only return that many.
Some sub-tests may only need a subset of the total number of devices
for the test. If the number of devices expected is less than the total
being returned, python would throw an exception.
The host systems configuration directories for IWD/EAD were
being mounted in the virtual machine. This required that the
host create these directories before hand. Instead we can
just set up the system and IWD/EAD to use directories in /tmp
that we create when we start the VM. This avoids the need for
any host configuration.
This is somewhat of a hack, but the IWDDBusAbstract is a very
convenient abstraction to DBus objects. The only piece that restricts
it to IWD is the hardcoded IWD_SERVICE. Instead we can pass in a
keyword argument which defaults to IWD_SERVICE. That way other modules
(like EAD) can utilize this abstraction with their own service simply
by changing that service argument.
The AdHoc functionality in iwd.py was not consistent at all with
how all the other classes worked (my bad). Instead we can create
a very simple AdHocDevice class which inherits all the DBus magic
in the IWDDBusAbstract class.
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.
iwd.py was updated to use the TestContext APIs to start/stop
IWD. This makes the process managment consistent between starting
IWD from test-runner or from the IWD() constructor.
The psk agent is now tracked, and destroyed upon __del__. This is
to fix issues where a test throws an exception and never
unregisters the agent, causing future tests to fail.
The configuration directory was also chaged to /tmp by
default. This was done since all tests which used this used /tmp
anyways.
The GLib mainloop was removed, and instead put into test-runner
itself. Now any mainloop operations can use ctx.mainloop instead
