The SAE test made some assumptions on certain conditions due to
there being no way of checking if those conditions were met
Mainly the use of H2E/hunt-and-peck.
We assumed that when we told hostapd to use H2E or hunt/peck it
would but in reality it was not. Hostapd is apparently not very
good at swapping between the two with a simple "reload" command.
Once H2E is enabled it appears that it cannot be undone.
Similarly the vendor elements seem to carry over from test to
test, and sometimes not which causes unintended behavior.
To fix this create separate APs for the specific scenario being
tested:
- Hunt and peck
- H2E
- Special vendor_element simulating buggy APs
Another issue found was that if password identifies are used
hostapd automatically chooses H2E which was not intented, at
least based on the test names (in reality it wasn't causing any
problems).
The tests have also been improved to use hostapds "sta_status"
command which contains the group number used when authenticating,
so now that at least can be verified.
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).
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.
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'.
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.
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.
SAE has a clogging test which requires 4 radios to all simultaneously
connect. All the other tests are only using one of these radios, so
in these tests we explicitly disconnect these devices preventing them
from autoconnecting.
