similar to: [PATCH v4 00/17] tests: Introduce test harness for running tests.

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

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

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 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.

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

This has got to the stage where it actually works, both for running the tests in-tree and installed. The 'test-harness' script has become rather over-complex in the process however. 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.

These are my thoughts on adding a test harness to run tests instead of using automake. The aim of this exercise is to allow us to run the full test suite on an installed copy of libguestfs. Another aim is to allow us to work around all the limitations and problems of automake. The first patch makes an observation that since the ./run script sets up $PATH to contain all the directories

Previously I posted a work-in-progress preview of this patch series: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-February/msg00224.html This is the finished version that updates all of the shell-script based tests. It passes 'make check', 'make check-direct' and 'make check-slow'. Rich.

There's a lot of common code in the tests, eg: if [ "$(guestfish get-backend)" = "uml" ]; then echo "$0: test skipped because UML backend does not support network" exit 77 fi These commits (work in progress) create a common set of test functions for skipping tests etc. Rich.

Fix for: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1293527 Note that patches 2/3 and 3/3 are dependent on each other, ie. applying 2/3 on its own will break the build. So I may combine these when applying the series. Rich.

Just like the similar series that already went in for libguestfs [1], do similar fixes also for virt-v2v, with additional fixes for the builddir!=srcdir case. This will also need the fix to subdir-rules.mk.

This patch series moves some files and directories around but is only code motion (or supposed to be). A new directory, common/, is created for all of the common code which is currently shared in random ways between parts of the project. And src/ becomes lib/ (the largest change, but mostly mechanical). In full this series makes the following changes: src/libprotocol -> common/protocol

Hi Rich, This series includes patches to make `make syntax-check` pass. Some of the fix require change to maint.mk, but the file is not in git repo. Is it intended? Thanks!

Previous patch series was posted here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-January/msg00059.html v2 simply extends this patch series to cover the extra directories common/edit, common/progress, common/windows and common/parallel. The only remaining item is to consider whether we should rename mllib to something else, mlcommon was my suggestion. Rich.

As I'm now working through the enormous virt-v2v/virt-p2v bug list, we need a high quality set of tests to ensure that we don't accidentally regress some old OS/hypervisor combination while making changes. The test cases are going to be huge, so we cannot possibly distribute them in libguestfs. Furthermore many of them have licensing problems which means we cannot redistribute them at
