Hello everybody,

I set up a clean libvirt repo with:
git clone
./autogen.sh
make -j5

and then executed tests with various values of LIBVIRT_DEBUG using
the following command:
LIBVIRT_DEBUG=0…5 VIR_TEST_DEBUG=1 make check

The logs are in this mail's attachments.


With LIBVIRT_DEBUG=0 (or =5 or probably any invalid value), the logs say:
"Ignoring invalid log level setting”
but still, 10 tests fail due to various reasons.

With LIBVIRT_DEBUG=1, there is a slight difference. The number of tests
that fail is also 10, but here, commandtest fails instead of eventtest.

With LIBVIRT_DEBUG=2, only 9 tests fail, because commandtest passes.

With LIBVIRT_DEBUG=3, only 1 test fails: qemuargv2xmltest. The
reason is the same as in the previous tests.

With LIBVIRT_DEBUG=4, it’s just qemuargv2xmltest that is failing,
but for a different reason than before:
"qemuParseCommandLineString should have logged a warning”.


Perhaps it’s okay that these tests fail, but still there's no harm
in letting people know.

Thank you rbogorodskiy for guidance on the mailing list :)

Have a nice day,
Tomasz


I don't know that anyone ever expected the testsuite to work with
LIBVIRT_DEBUG set to anything (because turning on debug can change
output of libvirt itself).  Things are different with VIR_TEST_DEBUG,

I'd certainly expect the test suite to pass 100% no matter what the
debug level is set to. Debug logging should not have a functional
effect on our code, besides outputting the log messages.

That's not 100% true. If we enable the debug messages, those are printed
to stdout. Now we have some tests that expect certain output or some
exact message to be logged. If we enable debug logs, the outputs are
poisoned and don't match the expected values.
I'd say this is a weakness of our test suite, not actual libvirt code.


I'd expect that not to work, OTOH I don't see why we couldn't make it
work.  Some tests must check the output, of course, but we can
prioritize the tests' logging choice above users'.  Having said that I
must mention that I wouldn't put fixing this above

Fixing the argv2xml is pretty easy (although during that I've found
bunch of old things that could use a good scrub as well) but the rest I
haven't looked at.
