The current code is not fit for purpose when handling large files via ssh. In the strace ptest case, we can end up with a 1.4GB archive being transferred for which every byte is printed into the task logfile twice over. This is then sent over bitbake IPC which compounds the problems. Make the following improvements: * when the output is large (over 64kb), don't print it * use a bytearray for better concat performance since strings are slow for this * when there is no ssh output, say that * print periodic size status output rather than the data itself since this could be binary and/or large * fix the killed process message logic which appeared broken (From OE-Core rev: 57673a71b20e2bbb53e7652a709bdcb32c429b6b) Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org> (cherry picked from commit e7dd009a17dc902852983a82bce41bf78bb1e242) Signed-off-by: Steve Sakoman <steve@sakoman.com>
= OEQA (v2) Framework =
== Introduction ==
This is version 2 of the OEQA framework. Base clases are located in the 'oeqa/core' directory and subsequent components must extend from these.
The main design consideration was to implement the needed functionality on top of the Python unittest framework. To achieve this goal, the following modules are used:
* oeqa/core/runner.py: Provides OETestResult and OETestRunner base
classes extending the unittest class. These classes support exporting
results to different formats; currently RAW and XML support exist.
* oeqa/core/loader.py: Provides OETestLoader extending the unittest class.
It also features a unified implementation of decorator support and
filtering test cases.
* oeqa/core/case.py: Provides OETestCase base class extending
unittest.TestCase and provides access to the Test data (td), Test context
and Logger functionality.
* oeqa/core/decorator: Provides OETestDecorator, a new class to implement
decorators for Test cases.
* oeqa/core/context: Provides OETestContext, a high-level API for
loadTests and runTests of certain Test component and
OETestContextExecutor a base class to enable oe-test to discover/use
the Test component.
Also, a new 'oe-test' runner is located under 'scripts', allowing scans for components that supports OETestContextExecutor (see below).
== Terminology ==
* Test component: The area of testing in the Project, for example: runtime, SDK, eSDK, selftest.
* Test data: Data associated with the Test component. Currently we use bitbake datastore as
a Test data input.
* Test context: A context of what tests needs to be run and how to do it; this additionally
provides access to the Test data and could have custom methods and/or attrs.
== oe-test ==
The new tool, oe-test, has the ability to scan the code base for test components and provide a unified way to run test cases. Internally it scans folders inside oeqa module in order to find specific classes that implement a test component.
== Usage ==
Executing the example test component
$ source oe-init-build-env
$ oe-test core
Getting help
$ oe-test -h
== Creating new Test Component ==
Adding a new test component the developer needs to extend OETestContext/OETestContextExecutor (from context.py) and OETestCase (from case.py)
== Selftesting the framework ==
Run all tests:
$ PATH=$PATH:../../ python3 -m unittest discover -s tests
Run some test:
$ cd tests/
$ ./test_data.py
