similar to: [PATCH 00/16] Small bits of non-Linux porting

Split up the huge generator/actions.ml into several smaller files. Rich.

v7: The only changes since v6 are those suggested by Pino in the review of v5.

I should probably start by saying this patch series isn't ready for review yet. This patch series adds a test harness to libguestfs. It allows us to run the tests outside the ordinary 'make check' path in the build tree. In particular, you can use this to run tests when libguestfs has been installed. 'make check' and the other 'make check-*' rules still work. The

Since v3: - A large number of fixes, especially for running the tests on installed libguestfs. - Fixed EXTRA_DIST rules throughout. - Extra patch 17/17 which is a tidy-up of the generated XML listing guests. Rich.

This converts more of the tests (basically everything under tests/) to use the test harness, revealing some problems which have subsequently been fixed. Rich.

This involves some significant changes to this test framework. In particular: - Instead of just specifying $srcdir at the start of a FileIn path, you can now specify arbitrary environment variables. This is necessary to allow the tests to run from a tmpdir. - Use COPYING instead of COPYING.LIB, and copy that file into the test suite directory. - Require the static binaries

This is a follow-up to the other generator changes in: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-February/msg00217.html Rich.

Since v4: - More tests have been converted. - Testing local guests fixed. - Drop no-exec-stack test.

For v6: This is mainly just a rebase, but I have also added tests in the ocaml/ language bindings directory, and for all the OCaml-written virt tools. Rich.

This is a more complete patch to add the test harness. The only parts missing now are the language bindings (except OCaml). The language bindings need a bit more thought. At the moment most language binding tests are done through some sort of shell script like perl/run-perl-tests which either runs each test itself or uses some language-specific machinary to run each test. The problem with that

This involves some significant changes to this test framework. In particular: - Instead of just specifying $srcdir at the start of a FileIn path, you can now specify arbitrary environment variables. This is necessary to allow the tests to run from a tmpdir. - Use COPYING instead of COPYING.LIB, and copy that file into the test suite directory. - Require the static binaries

Since v2: - Add perl tests. - Reworked and fixed the tests for virt-builder. - Some further minor bug fixes.

Very large but mechanical change to the generator. Rich.

If we want to permit more than 255 drives to be added, then we will have to add the disks to the same virtio-scsi target using different unit (LUN) numbers. Unfortunately SCSI LUN enumeration in the Linux is not deterministic (eg. two disks with target=0, lun=[0,1] can be enumerated as /dev/sda or /dev/sdb randomly). Dealing with that will require some very complex device name translation on the

Add the 'label' optional argument to the mkfs action, so it is possible to set a filesystem label direct when creating it. There may be filesystems not supporting changing the label of existing filesystems but only setting it at creation time, so this new optarg will help. Implement it for the most common filesystems (ext*, fat, ntfs, btrfs, xfs), giving an error for all the others, just

If there are no labels set for the disks, the directory with the symlinks will not even exists, causing list-disk-labels to fail with ENOENT. In this situation, act as if the directory was there, but empty. --- daemon/devsparts.c | 7 +++++++ generator/actions.ml | 12 ++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 19 insertions(+) diff --git a/daemon/devsparts.c b/daemon/devsparts.c index 7b92bf6..7c690f8

Modify "tests" to expand any kind of environment variable than just $srcdir; use $datadir and $databuilddir to point to the files in $srcdir/tests/data and $builddir/tests/data, so it is easier to point at the data for the tests. Most of the work (except the $databuilddir and the integration in the Makefile.am) has been done as part of larger changes by Richard W.M. Jones
