Run this command across the source:
perl -pi.bak -e 's/(20[012][0-9])-20[12][012]/$1-2023/g' `git ls-files`
and remove changes to po{,-docs}/*.po{,t} (these will be regenerated
later when we run 'make dist').
Run the following command over the source:
perl -pi.bak -e 's/(20[01][0-9])-2016/$1-2017/g' `git ls-files`
(Thanks Rich for the perl snippet, as used in past years.)
Instead of running all the tests manually, the unittest module has a
'discovery' mode to run tests by importing them from a directory: this
requires the tests to have different filenames, since they need to be
imported as modules now (hence an empty __init__.py is added), and the
current naming does not match the convention.
Using unittest as loader/runner brings another change: tests skipped as
whole cannot be done anymore with exit(77), since they are not run but
imported: thus introduce an helper module with decorators applied to the
test classes to skip them according to the current checks. This also
gets us nicer recordings in the unittest log.
Due to the relative imports (needed for the helper code), it is no more
possible to execute tests anymore by invoking them manually; although
it is possible to run single tests, still using unittest's runner:
$ cd python
python$ ../run python -m unittest discover -v t test010Load.py
This does not change anything in what the tests do/check.
Create a new top-level directory called test-data, which will carry
all the test data which is large and/or shared between multiple tests.
There are actually several new subdirectories created:
test-data/binaries: The pre-built binary and library files for random
architectures that we use to test various architecture detection
features (was part of tests/data).
test-data/blank-disks: The blank disks which are used for disk format
detection (was part of tests/data).
test-data/files: Other miscellaneous test files from tests/data that
are not included in the above.
test-data/phony-guests: The phony guests (was tests/guests).
test-data: The top-level directory builds the 'test.iso' image file
that is used for testing the C API and in miscellaneous other tests.
This allows the Python binding of guestfs_add_libvirt_dom to work.
There is a regression test to ensure this keeps working.
Note this requires a patched libvirt-python, supporting the
c_pointer() method.
If the user set PYTHON when configuring, this variable is not passed
through to the tests, so it is possible the tests will fail because
they are testing the wrong version of python. By passing $PYTHON
through to the tests we ensure that we test against the same version
of python that we configured with.
