There is a very common block of code inside many autotests
which goes something like:
device.scan()
condition = 'obj.scanning'
wd.wait_for_object_condition(device, condition)
condition = 'not obj.scanning'
wd.wait_for_object_condition(device, condition)
network = device.get_ordered_network('an-ssid')
When you see the same pattern in nearly all the tests this shows
we need a helper. Basic autotests which merely check that a
connection succeeded should not need to write the same code again
and again. This code ends up being copy-pasted which can lead to
bugs.
There is also a code pattern which attempts to get ordered
networks, and if this fails it scans and tries again. This, while
not optimal, does prevent unneeded scanning by first checking if
any networks already exist.
This patch solves both the code reuse issue as well as the recovery
if get_ordered_network(s) fails. A new optional parameter was
added to get_ordered_network(s) which is False by default. If True
get_ordered_network(s) will perform a scan if the initial call
yields no networks. Tests will now be able to simply call
get_ordered_network(s) without performing a scan before hand.
If no networks are found, return None rather than an empty
array. This is easier to check by the caller (and was assumed
in some cases). Also add an exception to get_ordered_network
if no network is found.
Initially the solution to copying files to .hotspot was to use the
existing copy_to_storage, but allow full directory copying. Doing it
this way does not allow us to copy single files into .hotspot which
makes it difficult to test single configurations in several consecutive
tests.
This adds a new API, copy_to_hotspot, where a single hotspot config
can be provided. clear_storage was also modified to clear out the
.hotspot directory in addition to the regular storage directory.
The start_ap method was raising potential dbus errors before converting
them to an IWD error type. This is due to dbus.Set() not taking an error
handler. The only way to address this is to catch the error, convert it
and raise the converted error.
For the interface connectivity tests obtain the lists of interfaces in
use directly from the IWD class, which has the current list from DBus
properties.
In the test utilties updated the wiphy_map struct built from the
TEST_WIPHY_LIST variable to parse the new format and to use a new
structure where each wiphy is a namedtuple and each interface under it
also contains a reference to that wiphy. The 'use' field is now
assigned to the wiphy instead of to the interface.
The AdHoc methods used to miss the change in properties
on AdHoc interface. To address the race condition, we
subscribe 'PropertiesChanged' signal first and then do
GetAll properties call. This way we are not missing
'PropertiesChanged' signal in between these calls.
When using --valgrind, you must also use --verbose iwd, and, depending
on the tests you may also need to include pytests in the verbose flag.
Since anyone using --valgrind definitely wants to see valgrind info
printed they should not need to enable verbose printing. Also, manually
parsing valgrind prints with IWD prints mixed throughout is a nightmare
even for a single test.
This patch uses valgrind's --log-file flag, which is directed to
/tmp/valgrind.log. After the tests runs we can print out this file.
This is a helper/shortcut to get_ordered_networks (plural). In nearly
all the autotests we had (roughly) the same block of code:
ordered_network = get_ordered_networks()[0]
self.assertNotEqual(ordered_network, None)
self.assertEqual(ordered_network.name, "someSsid")
Rather than having to do this, we can simplify and just have a single
call to get_ordered_network, which takes the SSID. If the SSID is not
found, we raise an exception. This avoids needing both asserts since
we are guarenteed that the return is valid and the SSID matches.
This also avoids possible issues with multiple networks showing up in
the GetOrderedNetworks call. Eventually test-runner will support running
tests on real wireless hardware, so its possible we could pick up
unexpected networks in the scan.
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).
This is a temporary fix to address the recent split of
the Device interface. This patch contains a workaround that
re-enables the auto-tests while the test framework is being
reworked to satisfy the need of the new API and should not
be considered as a permanent solution.
The default behavior of NetworkObject.connect() is to wait for the
Connect dbus method to reply before returning back to the test. This
change makes it possible to connect, but not wait for a reply and
continue on with the test (by specifying wait=False). This is
specifically required to test SAE anti-clogging, where the AP needs
to have several simultaneous connections at once for the anti-clogging
logic to trigger. This change also adds Device.wait_for_connected()
which waits for the device interface State variable to be "connected".
The list_devices API has a race condition where sometimes it will
return zero or less than the expected number of devices and fail
the test. A fix is in place for when only a single devices is
expected, but some tests expect more than one device. This changes
wait_to_appear to an integer, and the caller can specify the number
of devices they expect to get back. The default stays as it was,
zero or "return cached devices".
Previously, we had to wait for an arbitrary amount of time after
iwd was started form the python scripts to make sure that the
radio objects are available on the D-bus. This patch allows to
wait inside of list_devices() method and get back a list of the
devices once they are available.
Allow passing a list of passphrases for subsequent agent requests to the
PSKAgent constructor. This also makes existing tests stricter because
a spurious agent request will not receive the same passphrase.
If --gdb is used with test-runner, all the timeouts in the
IWD class must be turned off otherwise the test will fail.
Inside test-runner, a environment variable (IWD_TEST_TIMEOUTS)
is set to either 'on' or 'off'. Then the IWD class (and any
others) can handle the timeouts accordingly. Note that this
does not turn off dbus timeouts, rather it ignores timeout
failures. This does mean that ultimately the test will most
likely fail due to a dbus timeout, but it at least gives you
unlimited debugging time.
We need to reset self._exception after _wait_for_async_op raises an
exception, otherwise _wait_for_async_op will report that exception for
every future operation (this wasn't an issue when an exception always
meant that the test was failing and objects were torn down anyway)
Sometimes iwd will take a while to register its dbus name. The python
class already waits for the name to appear on dbus if iwd is being
launched from python, do this also if iwd was already launched by the
test-runner. My use case was when running iwd under valgrind in which
case it runs slower.
