The purpose of oe-selftest is to run unittest modules added from meta/lib/oeqa/selftest,
which are tests against bitbake tools.
Right now the script it's useful for simple tests like:
- "bitbake --someoption, change some metadata, bitbake X, check something" type scenarios (PR service, error output, etc)
- or "bitbake-layers <...>" type scripts and yocto-bsp tools.
This commit also adds some helper modules that the tests will use and a base class.
Also, most of the tests will have a dependency on a meta-selftest layer
which contains specially modified recipes/bbappends/include files for the purpose of the tests.
The tests themselves will usually write to ".inc" files from the layer or in conf/selftest.inc
(which is added as an include in local.conf at the start and removed at the end)
It's a simple matter or sourcing the enviroment, adding the meta-selftest layer to bblayers.conf
and running: oe-selftest to get some results. It would finish faster if at least a core-image-minimal
was built before.
