Until now, autopkgtests were triggered via an external "adt-britney" command
from lp:auto-package-testing. This duplicated a lot of effort (such as its own
chdist and reverse dependency calculation), maintains a lot of state files,
uses hardcoded absolute paths to these external tools, and is quite hard to
understand and maintain. We want to get rid of all this.
Add logic to AutoPackageTest.request() to use britney's existing reverse
dependency maps and figure out the set of tests to run for packages in
unstable. These are being tracked in "requested_tests".
Add logic to AutoPackageTest.submit() to send test requests to the AMQP server
specified in the new "ADT_AMQP" config key. For testing this can be a file://
URL, and if not set no test requests will be sent at all.
The set of tests which were requested in previous runs are tracked in
UNSTABLE/autopkgtest/pending.txt, so that we don't re-request tests in
subsequent runs.
There is no implementation for collect() and results() yet, these will be done
in a separate commit.
Add initial test cases.
Don't change britney.conf from the source tree and restore it back after the
tests; this is prone to leave a broken config behind if a test gets
interrupted. Instead, copy the file to our temp dir, and let tests hack on it
there.
(Introduced in lp:~canonical-ci-engineering/britney/boottesting-support)
Extend read_sources to store a new AUTOPKGTEST boolean flag, which is true if
the Testsuite: field exists and starts with "autopkgtest" (this covers autodep8
cases like autopkgtest-pkg-perl).
Extend TestData.add() to take a new testsuite argument which specifies the
source's Testsuite: field.
Fix boottest-britney location to match production.
Fix TestTouchManifest test failures, now that we retry on manifest download errors, the tests should inhibit the retries when testing the failures.
5 out of the 8 TestBoottestEnd2End are still failing because the excuse says the tests are skipped instead of running/failing/being in progress, etc.
- Added docstrings
- Replaced format by %
- Import ADT_EXCUSES_LABELS from autopkgtest.py instead of redefining it
- Renamed test to avoid name conflict with autopkgtest.py from britney
- Fixed some formatting
