* lib/oeqa: add a test target controller for EFI targetsStefan Stanacar2014-03-311-0/+133
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The purpose of this module is to deploy a test image on a EFI-enabled hardware and run our runtime tests. A bit of background: - testimage.bbclass uses the concept of TEST_TARGET which is a class name that is responsible for target deploying. A layer can provide it's own TEST_TARGET. Right now has OE-core has a QemuTarget and a SimpleRemoteTarget (ssh into an already up and running machine and run tests), the default one being qemu. - basically testimage does something like: target.deploy() try: target.start() runTests() finally: target.stop() This module assumes a running EFI machine with gummiboot as bootloader and core-image-testmaster installed (or similar). Also your hardware under test has to be in a DHCP-enabled network that gives it the same IP for each reboot. One time setup (master image): - build core-image-testmaster with EFI_PROVIDER = "gummiboot" - install the image on the target Test image setup: - build your test image, e.g core-image-sato as you usually do, but with these in local.conf: IMAGE_FSTYPES += "tar.gz" - Now run the tests: INHERIT += "testimage" TEST_TARGET = "GummibootTarget" TEST_TARGET_IP = "192.168.2.3" bitbake core-image-sato -c testimage Other notes: - TEST_POWERCONTROL_CMD (togheter with TEST_POWERCONTROL_EXTRA_ARGS) can be a command that runs on the host and does power cycling. The test code passes one argument to that command: off, on or cycle (off then on). In my case I use something like TEST_POWERCONTROL_CMD="powercontrol.exp test 10.11.12.1 nuc1" in local.conf. Basically my expect script does: 'ssh test@10.11.12.1 "pyctl nuc1 <arg>" and runs a python script there that controls power for a label called nuc1'. The reason why my expect script has to ssh into another machine is because of network topology, and that machine is the one actually connected to the test rack and the power strip. That's why TEST_POWERCONTROL_CMD and _ARGS need to be customized for one's setup, the only requirement being that it accepts: on/off/cycle as the last argument. - if no command is defined it would use classic reboot. This is fine as long as the machine actually reboots (as in the ssh test hasn't failed), but it's useful for "simple-setup-with-one-board-on-the-desk" scenario, where some manual interaction is okay from time to time.

* lib/oeqa: allow multiple layers to provide their own TEST_TARGET classSipke Vriend2014-02-022-0/+72
Use a python module "folder" rather than a single module within layers to ensure multiple layers can define a TEST_TARGET class. Current implementation using controllers.py module will only allow a single layer to define test targets. Add a controllers folder as well as a TestTargetLoader class whose job is to load the given TEST_TARGET class from any number of python modules within the oeqa/controllers/ directory of any layer. The only condition will be that layers will need to ensure the TEST_TARGET class name they provide is unique otherwise there is no guarantee which class is instantiated. a bb.warn is used to alude to this if it happens.
