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'.
This removes all the duplicated code where the interfaces are iterated
and the radio/hostapd instances are created. Instead the two new APIs
are used to get each instance, e.g.:
hapd = HostapdCLI(config='ssid.conf')
radio = hwsim.get_radio('radX')
Running autotests with native hardware will not work on tests which
depend on the hwsim python API (since hwsim will not be running).
For these tests, it will now be required that they specify:
needs_hwsim=1
This allows the test to be skipped when running with native hardware
rather than the test failing with a python exception.
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.
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).
In the beacon loss test try to simulate a periodic communication problem
because we don't support roaming if the AP goes away completely.
2 seconds seems to be enough to consistently trigger the beacon_loss
event without triggering a disconnect by the linux kernel or hiding the AP
from the roam scan. Also set the RSSI for that AP lower so that it is
not reselected by iwd.
Test that the AP interface and the station interface managed by iwd
can actually send and receive ethernet traffic when iwd is in the
connected state. Due to linux routing none of the high level utilities
like ping or arping can be easily used to test communication between
two interfaces of the same machine so use a method based on the
mac80211_hwsim/tools/hwsim_test.c utility in the wpa_supplicant tree
that uses a raw socket to inject unicast and broadcast frames.
Add this check in three tests of different security type connections
that simulate a single AP, and the two roaming tests with two APs.
Check that the station can't communicate with the other AP's interface.
