This is a *long* overdue update of the Avocado version used in QEMU. It comes a time where the role of the runner and the libraries are being discussed and questioned. These exact commits have been staging on my side for over 30 days now, and I was exceeding what I should in terms of testing before posting. I apologize for the miscalculation. Nevertheless, as pointed out, on the ML, these changes are needed NOW. Some examples of runs in the CI can be seen below: * Serial with 103.0 LTS (https://gitlab.com/cleber.gnu/qemu/-/jobs/7074346143#L220): RESULTS : PASS 46 | ERROR 0 | FAIL 0 | SKIP 2 | WARN 0 | INTERRUPT 0 | CANCEL 0 JOB TIME : 432.63 s * Parallel with 103.0 LTS (https://gitlab.com/cleber.gnu/qemu/-/jobs/7085879478#L222) RESULTS : PASS 46 | ERROR 0 | FAIL 0 | SKIP 2 | WARN 0 | INTERRUPT 0 | CANCEL 0 JOB TIME : 148.99 s Cleber Rosa (13): tests/avocado: mips: fallback to HTTP given certificate expiration tests/avocado: mips: add hint for fetchasset plugin tests/avocado/intel_iommu.py: increase timeout tests/avocado: add cdrom permission related tests tests/avocado: machine aarch64: standardize location and RO access tests/avocado: use more distinct names for assets tests/avocado/kvm_xen_guest.py: cope with asset RW requirements testa/avocado: test_arm_emcraft_sf2: handle RW requirements for asset tests/avocado/boot_xen.py: fetch kernel during test setUp() tests/avocado/tuxrun_baselines.py: use Avocado's zstd support tests/avocado/machine_aarch64_sbsaref.py: allow for rw usage of image Bump avocado to 103.0 Avocado tests: allow for parallel execution of tests docs/devel/testing.rst | 12 +++++++ pythondeps.toml | 2 +- tests/Makefile.include | 6 +++- tests/avocado/boot_linux_console.py | 24 ++++++++------ tests/avocado/boot_xen.py | 13 ++++---- tests/avocado/cdrom.py | 41 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ tests/avocado/intel_iommu.py | 2 ++ tests/avocado/kvm_xen_guest.py | 30 +++++++++++------ tests/avocado/machine_aarch64_sbsaref.py | 11 +++++-- tests/avocado/machine_aarch64_virt.py | 14 ++++---- tests/avocado/netdev-ethtool.py | 3 +- tests/avocado/tuxrun_baselines.py | 16 ++++----- 12 files changed, 125 insertions(+), 49 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tests/avocado/cdrom.py -- 2.45.2
