[PATCH i-g-t] remove tests dependency on VT /dev/tty0

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

  In a private communication Thomas Wood recommended the use of
igt_warn() over my initial igt_debug(), since the lack of /dev/tty0
"could indicate a problem". Unfortunately I have no idea what kind of
problem this could indicate outside ChromeOS. On the other hand, I'm
fairly sure that systematically printing a warning on every single
ChromeOS release going forward will create a "cry wolf" problem,
reducing users' attention to warnings and discouraging QA from collecting
them.

The top priority is obviously the ability to run the tests at all -
thus the current patch. But if someone can think of a silver and
relatively cheap bullet that would suit all usecases then please let
me/us know ASAP.

Cheers,

Marc
