Processes which were not explicitly killed ended up staying around
forever because they internally held references to other objects
such as GLib IO watches or write FDs.
This shuffles some code so these objects get cleaned up both when
explititly killed and after being waited for.
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.
Check whether verbose output is enabled for process name arg[0] before
prepending the "ip netns exec" part to arg since arg[0] is going to be
"ip" after that.
These modules only needed to be imported a single time for the entire
run of tests. This is significantly cheaper in terms of memory and
should prevent random OOM exceptions.
The Procss class was doing quite a bit of what Popen already does like
storing the return code and process arguments. In addition the Process
class ended up storing a Popen object which was frequently accessed.
For both simplicity and memory savings have Process inherit Popen and
add the additional functionality test-runner needs like stdout
processing to output files and the console.
To do this Popen.wait() needed to be overridden to to prevent blocking
as well as wait for the HUP signal so we are sure all the process
output was written. kill() was also overritten to perform cleanup.
The most intrusive change was removing wait as a kwarg, and instead
requiring the caller to call wait(). This doesn't change much in
terms of complexity to the caller, but simplifies the __init__
routine of Process.
Some convenient improvements:
- Separate multiple process instance output (Terminate: <args> will
be written to outfiles each time a process dies.)
- Append to outfile if the same process is started again
- Wait for HUP before returning from wait(). This allows any remaining
output to be written without the need to manually call process_io.
- Store ctx as a class variable so callers don't need to pass it in
(e.g. when using Process directly rather than start_process)
This was initially put in to solve an issue that was specific to
mac80211_hwsim where the connect callback would get queued and
delayed until after the connect event. This caused IWD to get very
confused.
Later it was found that "real" drivers can sometimes do this so
some code was added to IWD core to handle it.
Now there isn't much point to delay all frames unless a rule specifies
so change the behavior back to sending out frames immediately.
The hwsim Rule API was structured as properties so once a rule is
created it automatically starts being applied to frames. This happens
before anything has time to actually define the rule (source, destination
etc). This leads to every single frame being matched to the rule until
these other properties are added, which can result in unexpected behavior.
To fix this an "Enabled" property has been added and the rule will not
be applied until this is true.
The -S/--sub-tests option allows the user to specify a test file
from inside an autotest. Inside this file there may also be many
test functions. This option is being extended to allow running
a single test function inside a test file. For example:
* Runs all test functions inside connection_test.py *
./test-runner -A some_test -S connection_test
* Runs only connection_test.py test_connect_success() *
./test-runner -A some_test -S connection_test.test_connect_success
There was a race condition here where the GLib timeout could have
fired but the test function returned successfully prior to the
end of the while loop. This would end up causing source_remove to
print a warning that the source did not exist.
Instead check if the timeout fired prior to removing it.
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.
Tests that called skipTest would result in an exception which would
hault execution as it was uncaught. In addition this wouldn't result
in an skipped test.
Now the actual test run is surrounded in a try/except block, skipped
exceptions are handled specifically, and a stack trace is printed if
some other exception occurs.
dmesg was being called at the very end of testing and dumped into
a log file. If many tests were run this could take quite a long
time and was timing out the default process wait. Instead --follow
can be used (basically like 'tail') which prints messages as they
come and avoids the time consuming full dump at the end.
There was a common bit of code all over test-runner and utilities
which would wait for 'something' in a loop. At best these loops
would do the right thing and use the GLib.iteration call as to not
block the main loop, and at worst would not use it and just busy
wait.
Namespace.non_block_wait unifies all these into a single API to
a) do the wait correctly and b) prevent duplicate code.
While losing the convenience of unittest this patch breaks out
each individual test function in order to run it manually and
get results. This vastly improves the user experience by seeing
which test file and function is being executed rather than simply
seeing "PASSED" for the entire test set.
In addition exceptions/failures are printed out as they happen
rather than at the end.
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.
If a test has no hw.conf file test-runner was fully exiting and not
running any additional tests. This shouldn't happen in practice
since all upstreamed tests should run, but if any locally created
tests existed like this, it would cause the entire test run to exit
early.
Instead raise an exception which bails out of only that test, and
allows the rest to continue.
The Process class requires the ability to write out any processes
output to stdout, logging, or an explicit file, as well as store
it inside python for processing by test utilities. To accomplish
this each process was given a temporary file to write to, and that
file had an IO watch set on it. Any data that was written was then
read, and re-written out to where it needed to go. This ended up
being very buggy and quite complex due to needing to mess with
read/write pointers inside the file.
Popen already creates pipes to stdout if told, and they are accessable
via the p.stdout. Its then as simple as setting an IO watch on that
pipe and keeping the same code for reading out new data and writing
it to any files we want. This greatly reduces the complexity.
Occationally python will fatally terminate trying to load a test
using importlib with an out of memory exception. Increasing RAM
allows reliable exection of all tests.
When logging is enabled TLS debugging is turned on which creates
a PEM file during runtime. There is no way for IWD itself to clean
this up since its meant to be there for debugging.
Newer QEMU version warn that msize is set too low and may result
in poor IO performance. The default is 8KiB which QEMU claims is
too low. Explicitly setting to 10KiB removes the warning:
qemu-system-x86_64: warning: 9p: degraded performance: a
reasonable high msize should be chosen on client/guest side
(chosen msize is <= 8192).
See https://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/9psetup#msize for details.
We seem to be not specifying the msize for the root filesystem, which
results in this warning being printed:
emu-system-x86_64: warning: 9p: degraded performance: a reasonable high msize should be chosen on client/guest side (chosen msize is <= 8192). See https://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/9psetup#msize for details.
There doesn't seem to be much performance difference in the end since
iwd does not process large files.
Right now the --valgrind option logs to a static file named
'valgrind.log'. This means that for any test that run multiple
instances of iwd, output is lost for all invocations except the last.
Fix that by using a per-process log file and making sure that all log
files are printed to stdout when the test ends.
This approach isn't perfect since it is possible for the pid to be
reused, but better than the current behavior.
test-runner will print out if files were left behind after a
test which lets the developer know something was not cleaned
up. But in this case test-runner should also remove these files
so they are not left, and printed, for each subsequent test.
Certain tests like testAP spawn two IWD process in separate
namespaces. When --valrind is used this eats up quite a bit
of RAM and causes the VM to run out of memory and start
killing off processes.
Since using --valgrind actually runs IWD using the valgrind
process the --verbose flag would only work if 'valgrind' was
also specified. This was taken into account with is_verbose
but the actual logic enabling stdout did not use that helper.
This was due, in part, to logging since is_verbose will always
return true if --log is used. To fix this a new flag was added
to is_verbose which omits the --log check to handle this
specific case.
There was a bug with process output where the last bit of data would
never make it into stdout or log files. This was due to the IO watch
being cleaned up when the process was killed and never allowing it
to finish writing any pending data.
Now the IO watch implementation has been moved out into its own
function (io_process) which is now used to write the final bits of
data out on process exit.
The processes in the list ultimately get removed for each
kill() call. This causes strange behavior since the list is
being iterated and each iteration is removing items. Instead
iterate over a new temporary list so the actual process list
can be cleaned up.
IWD_GENL_DEBUG is not generally useful anymore as it just prints a
hexdump of the raw data on the socket. The messages are quite verbose
and spam test-runner logs for little utility.
Process output was being duplicated when -v was used. This was
due to both stderr and stdout being appended to the write_fd list
as well as stderr being set to stdout in the Popen call.
To fix this only stdout should be appended to the write_fd list,
but then there comes a problem with closing the streams. stdout
cannot be closed, so instead it is special cased. A new
verbose boolean was added to Process which, if True, will
cause any output to be written to stdout explicitly.
The Namespace class was never being removed when tests finished.
This is fixed by unreffing the hwsim internal _radio object which
both cleans up the radio and allows the Namespace to be removed.
This moves all the de-init code into kill(), which fixes a few
reference issues causing processes to hang around longer than
desired. If the process terminates on its own and/or the last
reference is lost __del__ will kill the process and clean up.
There were a few issues with the cleanup of Hostapd. First the
process was only being killed, which did not actually remove
the process from the list.
In addition, with EAP-SIM/AKA tests, hostapd created sim_db
unix socket files which it does not clean up.
This is somewhat of an open issue/TODO but for now this avoids
the exception caused by trying to remove a radio that has been
moved to a namespace. Once a radio is moved hwsim loses that phy
and can no longer interact with it. This causes the Destroy()
method call to fail.
A cleanup parameter was added to __init__ which can be used
by processes which create any additional files or require more
a custom cleanup routine. Some additional house keeping was
done to make Process cleanup more robust.
Though multi-test processes seemed like a good idea in terms of
efficiency, the additional code/special cases was not worth it
for the only two multi-test processes (dbus/haveged). Intead this
concept was removed completely and TestContext/Namespaces will
now start all processes for each individual test. This also is
fair to all tests as a previous failed test could end up bleeding
into future tests.
Printing out processes was done manually but instead we can
make Process printing extendable by adding its own __str__
method. This now will print if the process is a multi-test
process as well.
Output files in namespaces were not handled differently and would
end up overwriting/duplicating files from the root namespace. These
are now named /tmp/<process>-<namespace>-out.
The process class was quite hard to understand, and somewhat
fragile when multiple output options were needed like verbose
and logging, and in some cases even an additional output file.
To make things simpler we can have all processes output to a
temporary file (/tmp/<name>-out) and set a GLib IO watch on
that file. When the IO watch callback fires any additional
files (stdout, log files, output files) can be written to.
For wait=True processes we do not use an IO watch, but do
the same thing once the process exits, write to any additional
output files using the process output we already have.
The log dir was never being cleaned out prior to a new logging
test run. This could leave old stale files around. Note that this
will remove any past log files so if you need them, you want to
make a copy before running test-runner with --log again.
Dbus should be started as a multi-test process from the
TestContext, which leaves the dbus address file around for
the full test run. For Namespaces dbus-daemon should be
closed when the Namespace closes.
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.
The verbose arguments come in from the QEMU command line as a
single string. This should have been split into an array immediately
but was not. This led to issues like hostapd debug being enabled
when "-v hostapd_cli" was passed in.
Since the list of files copied to /tmp was part of the return value from
pre_test(), if an exception occurred inside pre_test(), "copied" would
be undefined and the post_test(ctx, copied) call in the finally clause
cause another exception:
raceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/balrog/repos/iwd/tools/test-runner", line 1508, in <module>
run_tests()
File "/home/balrog/repos/iwd/tools/test-runner", line 1242, in run_tests
run_auto_tests(config.ctx, args)
File "/home/balrog/repos/iwd/tools/test-runner", line 1166, in run_auto_tests
post_test(ctx, copied)
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'copied' referenced before assignment
(apart from not being able to clean up the files). Pass "copied" as a
paremeter to pre_test instead.
Use the hwsim DBus API rather than command line. This both is
faster and more dynamic than doing so with the command line.
This also avoids tracking the radio ID since we can just hang
on to the radio Dbus object directly.
The Create() API was limited to only taking a Name and boolean
(for p2p enabling). The actual hwsim nl80211 API can take more
attributes than this (which are actually utilized when creating
from the command line). To get the DBus API up to the same
functionality the two arguments in Create were replaced with
a single dictionary. This allows for extending later if more
arguments are needed.
In the NEW_RADIO callback hwsim was assuming that DBus had no
yet replied to the Create() method. In some cases the NEW_RADIO
event fires before the actual callback which will respond to
DBus. This causes a crash in the create callback.
Starts hwsim but does not register to mac80211_hwsim. This is to
allow autotests to disable hwsim, while still having the ability
to create/destroy radios over DBus.
For better reliability the processor count is now set to qemu.
In cases of low CPU count (< 2) hosts the processor count is
limited to 1. Otherwise half of the host cores will be used for
the VM.
Allow the storage directory (default /tmp/iwd) to be configured
just like the state directory. This is in order to support multiple
IWD instances which require separate storage directories for network
provisioning files.
Our simulated environment was really only meant to test air-to-air
communication by using mac80211_hwsim. Protocols like DHCP use IP
communication which starts to fall apart when using hwsim radios.
Mainly unicast sockets do not work since there is no underlying
network infrastructure.
In order to simulate a more realistic environment network namespaces
are introduced in this patch. This allows wireless phy's to be added
to a network namespace and unique IWD instances manage those phys.
This is done automatically when 'NameSpaces' entries are configured
in hw.conf:
[SETUP]
num_radios=2
[NameSpaces]
ns0=rad1,...
This will create a namespace named ns0, and add rad1 to that
namespace. rad1 will not appear as a phy in what's being called the
'root' namespace (the default namespace).
As far as a test is concerned you can create a new IWD() class and
pass the namespace in. This will start a new IWD instance in that
namespace:
ns0 = ctx.get_namespace('ns0')
wd_ns0 = IWD(start_iwd=True, namespace=ns0)
'wd_ns0' can now be used to interact with IWD in that namespace, just
like any other IWD class object.
Sometimes improperly written tests can end up causing future tests
to fail. For faster debugging you can now add a '+' after a given
autotest which will start that test and run all tests which come
alphabetically after it (as if you are running a full autotest suite).
Example:
./test-runner -A testWPA+
This will run testWPA, testWPA2, testWPA2-no-CCMP, testWPA2-SHA256,
and testWPA2withMFP.
This can result in strange test results since there was no less
than zero checks before subtracting the total tests from failed
tests. In case of an internal exception we can just set all values
to zero. This will be handled specially as we do for timeout
errors.
You can now specify a limited list of subtests to run out of a
full auto-test using --sub-tests,-S. This option is limited in
that it is only meant to be used with a single autotest (since
it doesn't make much sense otherwise).
The subtest can be specified both with or without the file
extension.
Example usage:
./test-runner -A testAP -S failure_test,dhcp_test.py
This will only run the two subtests and exclude any other *.py
tests present in the test directory.
Code was added with commit 04487f575b which passes a radio object
to the Interface class constructor and stores it in the Interface
object. The radio class also stores each Interface object which
creates a circular reference and causes the Radio to stick around
long after the tests finishes.
I cannot see why the Interface needs to keep track of the Radio
object. None of the wpa_supplicant utilities use this so it has
been removed.
Add support for a WPA_SUPPLICANT section in hw.conf where
'radN=<config_path>' lines will only reserve radios and create
interfaces for the autotest to be able to start wpa_supplicant on them,
i.e. this prevents iwd or hostapd from being started on them but doesn't
start a wpa_supplicant instance by itself.
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.
Allow the "hwsim_medium=no" setting in hw.conf's SETUP section to
disable starting hwsim. It looks like the packets going through
userspace add enough latency that active scans don't work, probe
responses don't arrive within the "dwell time" or probe requests are not
ACKed on time. I've tried modifying tools/hwsim.c to respond with the
HWSIM_CMD_TX_INFO_FRAME cmd as the first thing after receiving a
HWSIM_CMD_FRAME and even skipping the queue in ell/genl.c by writing the
command synchronously, but neither helped enough to make the scans work.
This does not rule out that hwsim or the way our scans are done can be
fixed and that would obviously be better than what I did in this patch.
This extends test-runner to also use iwmon if --log is enabled.
For this case the iwmon log will be found inside each test
log directory.
A new option, --monitor <file> was added in case full logging isn't
desired (potentially for timing issues) but a iwmon log is needed.
Be aware that when --monitor is used test-runner will mount the
entire parent directory. test-runner itself will only write to the
file specified, but just know that the parent directory is available
as read-write inside the VM.
--log takes precedence over --monitor, meaning the iwmon log will
be written to <logdir>/<test>/iwmon instead of the file specified
with --monitor if both options are provided.
The virtual environment changed slightly adding two network adatpers
which are connected to the same backend so they can communicate with
each other (basically connected to a switch). The hostapd command
line was modified to allow no interfaces to be passed in which lets
us create zero radios but still specify a radius_config file.
This is just a more concise/pythonic way of doing function arguments.
Since Process/start_process have basically the same argument names
we can simplify and use **kwargs which will pass the named arguments
directly to Process(). This also allows us to add arguments to Process
without touching start_process if we need.
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.
Removed test-runner.c, and renamed py_runner to test-runner. Removed
tools/test-runner from .gitignore.
This was done as a separate commit to avoid a nasty diff between the
existing test runner, and the new python version
This patch completely re-writes test-runner in Python. This was done
because the existing C test-runner had some clunky work arounds and
maintaining or adding new features was starting to become a huge pain.
There were a few aspects of test-runner which continually had to
be dealt with when adding any new functionality:
* Argument parsing: Adding new arguments to test-runner wasn't so
bad, but if you wanted those arguments passed into the VM it
became a huge pain. Arguments needed to be parsed, then re-formatted
into the qemu command line, then re-parsed in a special order
(backwards) once in the VM. The burden for adding new arguments was
quite high so it was avoided (at least by me) at all costs.
* The separation between C and Python: The tests are all written in
python, but the executables, radios, and interfaces were all created
from C. The way we solved this was by encoding the require info as
environment variables, then parsing those from Python. It worked,
but it was, again, a huge pain.
* Process management: It started with all processes being launched
from C, but eventually tests required the ability to start IWD, or
kill hostapd ungracefully in order to test certain functionality.
Since the processes were tracked in C, Python had no way of
signalling that it killed a process and when it started one C had
no idea. This was mitigated (basically by killall), but it was
no where close to an elegant solution.
Re-writing test-runner in python solves all these problems and will
be much easier to maintain.
* Argument parsing: Now all arguments are forwarded automatically
to the VM. The ArgParse library takes care of parsing and each
argument is stored in a dictionary.
* Separation between C and Python: No more C, so no more separation.
* Process management: Python will now manage all processes. This
allows a test to kill, restart, or start a new process and not
have to remember the PID or to kill it after the test.
There are a few more important aspects of the python implementation
that should now be considered when writing new tests:
* The IWD constructor now has different default arugments. IWD
will always be started unless specified and the configuration
directory will always be /tmp
* Any non *.py file in the test directory will be copied to /tmp.
This avoids the need for 'tmpfs_extra_stuff' completely.
* ctrl_interface will automatically be appended to every hostapd
config. There is no need to include this in a config file from
now on.
* Test cleanup is extremely important. All tests get run in the
same interpreter now and the tests themselves are actually loaded
as python modules. This means e.g. if you somehow kept a reference
to IWD() any subsequent tests would not start since IWD is still
running.
* For debugging, the test context can be printed which shows running
processes, radios, and interfaces.
Three non-native python modules were used: PrettyTable, colored, and
pyroute2
$ pip3 install prettytable
$ pip3 install termcolor
$ pip3 install pyroute2
Besides being undefined behaviour, signed integer overflow can cause
unexpected comparison results. In the case of network_rank_compare(),
a connected network with rank INT_MAX would cause newly inserted
networks with negative rank to be inserted earlier in the ordered
network list. This is reflected in the GetOrderedMethods() DBus method
as can be seen in the following iwctl output:
[iwd]# station wlan0 get-networks
Network name Security Signal
----------------------------------------------------
BEOLAN 8021x **** }
BeoBlue psk *** } all unknown,
UI_Test_Network psk *** } hence assigned
deneb_2G psk *** } negative rank
BEOGUEST open **** }

Linksys05274_5GHz_dmt psk ****
Lyngby-4G-4 5GHz psk ****
If an application has a bug and hangs on SIGTERM this causes
test-runner to hang as well. This is obviously an issue with
the application in question, but test-runner should have a way
of continuing onto the next test rather than hanging.
Instead we can use WNOHANG and a sleep to allow applications
some amount of time to exit, and if they haven't use SIGKILL
instead as well as print an error. Similar to how
wait_for_socket works. The timeout is hard coded to 2 seconds
(100ms sleep + 20 iterations).
Previously iwmon was running per-test, which would jumble any subtests
together into the same log file making it hard to parse. Now create
a separate directory for each subtest and put the monitor log and
pcap there.
Using mac80211_hwsim can sometimes result in out of order messages
coming from the kernel. Since mac80211_hwsim immediately sends out
frames and the kernel keeps command responses in a separate queue,
bad scheduling can result in these messages being out of order.
In some cases we receive Auth/Assoc frames before the response to
our original CMD_CONNECT. This causes autotests to fail randomly,
some more often than others.
To fix this we can introduce a small delay into hwsim. Just a 1ms
delay makes the random failures disappear in the tests. This delay
is also makes hwsim more realistic since actual hardware will always
introduce some kind of delay when sending or receiving frames.
When running test-runner as non-root the environment variables
SUDO_GID/SUDO_UID were unset, causing atoi to segfault. This replaces
atoi with strtol, and checks the existance of SUDO_GID/SUDO_UID
before trying to turn it into an integer. This patch also allows
the uid/gid to be read from the user if running as non-root.
Note: running as non-root does require the users permissions to be
setup properly. Directories and files are created when running with
logging, so if the user running test-runner does not have these
permissions the creation of these files will fail.
The configuration value of iwd_config_dir was defaulting to /etc/iwd
which, in the context of test-runner, is probably not the best idea.
The system may have a main.conf file in /etc/iwd which could cause
tests to fail or behave unexpectedly.
In addition all tests which use iwd_config_dir set it to /tmp anyways.
Because of this, the new default value will be /tmp and no tests will
even need to bother setting this.
The configuration value itself is not being removed because it may be
useful to set arbitrary paths (e.g. /etc/iwd) for example when using
the shell functionality.
This key is special in hostapd, and was being treated as a normal hostapd
config file. This special radius config file needs to be kept unpaired from
any interfaces so now its passed in as a separate argument and appended to
the end of the hostapd execute command.
Tests which use a standalone RADIUS server may crash due to
the wiphy array not taking into account the 'radius_server'
key which is skipped during setup.
The goto was jumping to a label which freed the wiphy list which
had not yet been initialized. This also fixes another similar issue
if chdir fails (in this case tmpfs_extra_stuff would get freed
before being allocated).
Some test cases require (at least with recent hostapd versions) a
stand alone radius server. This is done using driver=none in the
hostapd config file. For this use case hostapd does not need any
radio since its not doing anything wireless related.
Now inside the hw.conf file, under the HOSTAPD group, you can
specify a config file as the value to 'radius_server' key. This
config file will be used without any associated radio when hostapd
is started.
These two processes are executed per-test so they can be passed the
test name and have the logs stored only in tests that actually need
them rather than at the top level.
After changing the valgrind log to --log-fd, it appears that
the log file just gets appended, where before it was overwritten.
This makes test print out all previous tests valgrind results.
Now after printing out the valgrind info we can erase the file
for the next test.
This was a mistake in the original implementation. Since test-runner
is always run from the tools directory using --log with no directory
specified would result in many log files being put into the iwd tree.
Instead we can make --log take a required argument so its more
obvious where all the logs are going to go.
localtime indexes month starting at zero so adding 1 gives us a folder
name with the correct month.
The year is also set as 'years since 1900', so we need to add 1900 to
the year to get the actual year.
Historically if you wanted to see output from a python test you needed
to specify -v pytests. This was also the case if IWD was started from
python.
Nearly every time I run test-runner I would specify "-v iwd,pytests"
only to get the IWD output on these specific tests.
Instead we can special case 'python3' (previously 'pytests') inside
execute_program so that turning on verbosity for 'iwd' also turns it
on for the python tests.
After the logging changes verbose IWD with valgrind did not show any IWD
output. This commit fixes this by checking the verbosity against log_name
rather than argv[0] since log_name has a special case for valgrind/iwd.
The valgrind logic in start_iwd was refactored to only use the --log-fd
option rather than using --log-file in addition to --log-fd.
All the processes verbose output is just written to stdout, and very
hard to parse after the test runs. Having test-runner write the
processes output to separate log files is much nicer to view after
the test runs.
A read/write file system is created which is separate and isolated
from the current FS mount (which mounts the whole host file system).
Doing this requires the user to create a folder somewhere to be used
as the mount point. This folder is where all the log files will end
up after test-runner runs.
Since test-runner must be run as root, care was taken to keep the
log files owned by the user which runs test-runner. The UID/GID
are passed to the VM, and any log files created are chown'ed back
to the user who ran test-runner.
execute_program was refactored, and both verbose and log arguments
were removed. The verbose argument was not really required since
we can do check_verbosity(argv[0]) internally. The 'log' flag was
only used along with --shell, and now the user can simply use
--log instead of dumping /tmp/iwd.log.
You can use this feature by specifying --log[=path] to test-runner.
If no path is provided the current directory will be used. Using
the --log flag will result in all processes being run with the
--verbose flag.
A new folder will be created under the --log path. The folder will
be of the name "run-<year>-<month>-<dat>-<PID>". Under this folder
you will find any global process logs. These are processes that
are only run once for ALL tests (hwsim, ifconfig, dbus etc.). There
will also be folders for specific tests that were run. Inside these
test folders will be logs of processes that are run per-test (iwd,
hostapd, python etc.).
Coverity reported this as a leak, but the test queue is actually
getting freed later and does not need to be freed locally in add_path
This basically reverts c0863e5bc6
The -U parameter only allowed for a list of unit tests to be run.
Most of the time for sanity checking you want to run all the unit
tests so this has been changed to take an optional argument.
Now, the -U flag (by itself) will run all unit tests. Running a
single or list of unit tests can still be achieved by:
--unit-tests=test-eapol,test-crypto
