Gyorgy Sarvari a690cfb9c0 patchtest: apply patch in repo root
Patchtest tries to apply the received patch on the repository, without
specifying the directory, which means that the CWD is used. In case the
patch modifies a content in a different folder (e.g. the script is running
in ./meta, but the patch modifies ./meta-selftest), the patch will be skipped,
but git still returns 0, instead of complaining.

To avoid such false positives, specify the working directory for applying the
patch - the top of the repodir.

patchtest selftests for openembedded-core

This directory provides a test suite and selftest script for use with the patchtest repository: https://git.yoctoproject.org/patchtest/

To setup for use:

  1. Clone https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core (this repo) and https://git.openembedded.org/bitbake/
  2. Clone https://git.yoctoproject.org/patchtest
  3. Install the necessary Python modules: in meta/lib/patchtest or the patchtest repo, do pip install -r requirements.txt
  4. Add patchtest to PATH: export PATH=/path/to/patchtest/repo:$PATH
  5. Initialize the environment: source oe-init-build-env
  6. Add meta-selftest to bblayers.conf: bitbake-layers add-layer /path/to/meta-selftest/ (the selftests use this layer's recipes as test targets)
  7. Finally, run the selftest script: ./meta/lib/patchtest/selftest/selftest
