Currently test820RHBZ912499.py fails with libvirt because libvirt
still doesn't work around qemu locking properly. Allow this test to
be skipped on a temporary basis using SKIP_TEST820RHBZ912499_PY=1
Verify the returned values of Python Object constructor functions
are not NULL before adding them to a collection.
This is particularly relevant when constructing Unicode strings in
Python 3 as they will return NULL if non UTF-8 characters are present.

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.)
python/guestfs.py:136:37: E712 comparison to True should be 'if cond is True:' or 'if cond:'
python/t/tests_helper.py:42:8: E713 test for membership should be 'not in'
No functional changes, as the new versions follow the suggested Python
coding style to do the same things.
Reindent Python scripts to make sure lines are not longer than 80
columns.
Regarding autogenerated code (guestfs.py and bindtests.py): add an
helper function to make sure comma-separated lists are wrapped at the
wanted length.
This produces only differences in the indentation of long Python lines,
with no behaviour changes.
Add (after comma) or remove (before opening round bracket, and around
'=' in arguments) whitespaces according to the PEP 8 specification.
This is just code reformatting, with no behaviour changes; no content
changed beside whitespaces, so "git diff -w" gives an empty diff.
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.
Introduce a new kind of bindings tests, 090-retvalues, to check all the
possible return values in bindings; start implementing them for
scripting languages such as GObject introspection, Perl, PHP, Python,
and Ruby, reusing existing implementations where existing.
- use assertIsInstance, assertNotEqual, and assertIsNotNone as more
specific checks (will produce better logging)
- use assertRaises when expecting exceptions being thrown
- when testing internal_test_rhashtable, instead of checking type and
elements of the return values just check the return value as a whole
(easier and already getting all the work needed by unittest)
print "" is no more available in Python 3, and print(...) is available
since Python 2.7; as one of the tests was using print(), use this form
everywhere so the tests can run fine with Python 3.
This test launches a dummy guest using IDE. Aarch64 doesn't support
IDE, and because it also doesn't support PCI (virtio-mmio instead)
it's hard to formulate libvirt XML that will work on both x86 and
virtio-mmio.
Since this bug is not architecture specific (RHBZ#912499), skip it on
non-x86. The test will print:
skipping test: arch is not x86 and does not support IDE
The test assumed (for no particular reason) that it could always run a
KVM guest. When run on a machine without KVM, or in a VM without
nested KVM, you get this error:
libvirt: Domain Config error : internal error: no supported architecture for os type 'hvm'

Use a qemu guest instead, which should have a better chance of working
on all hosts.
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.
Review every test(!) to ensure that it:
- Doesn't use a generic name (eg. "test1.img", "test.out") for any
temporary file it needs.
- Does instead use a unique name or a temporary name (eg. a name like
"name-of-the-test.img", or a scratch disk).
- Does not use 'rm -f' to clean up its temporary files (so we can
detect errors if the wrong temporary file is created or removed).
This allows tests to be run in parallel, so they don't stomp on each
other's temporary files.
Replaces code such as:
fd = open "test1.img"
ftruncate fd, size
close fd
g.add_drive "test1.img"
with the shorter and simpler:
g.add_drive_scratch size
Previously with Python it was impossible to set a boolean or integer
optarg to -1 because that was used as a special sentinel value to
indicate that the optarg was not set.
Instead, use None as the sentinel value, since that cannot be a
boolean or integer type.
By using the once_had_no_optargs flag, this change is backwards
compatible for callers (except Haskell, PHP and GObject as discussed
in earlier commit).
The new API splits orderly close into a two-step process:
if (guestfs_shutdown (g) == -1) {
/* handle the error, eg. qemu error */
}
guestfs_close (g);
Note that the explicit shutdown step is only necessary in the case
where you have made changes to the disk image and want to handle write
errors. Read the documentation for further information.
This change also:
- deprecates guestfs_kill_subprocess
- turns guestfs_kill_subprocess into the same as guestfs_shutdown
- changes guestfish and other tools to call shutdown + close
where necessary (not for read-only tools)
- updates documentation
- updates examples
Old KVM can't add /dev/null readonly. Treat /dev/null as a special
case.
We also fix a few tests where /dev/null was being used with
format=qcow2. This was always incorrect behaviour, but qemu appears
to tolerate it.
'del g' is a trap for the unwary. If the handle has any other
references, it does nothing (in fact, it can be actively dangerous if
the user was expecting the appliance to go away). In non-CPython it
can be delayed arbitrarily long.
Using 'g.close()' on the other hand is always safe.
This large commit changes the generator so that optional arguments
can be supported for functions.
The model for arguments (known as the "style") is changed from
(ret, args) to (ret, args, optargs) where optargs is a more limited
list of arguments.
One function has been added which takes optional arguments, it is
"add-drive-opts", modelled as:
(RErr, [String "filename"], #required
[Bool "readonly"; String "format"; String "iface"]) #optional
Note that this function is processed in the library (does not go over
the RPC protocol to the daemon). This has allowed us to simplify
the current implementation by omitting changes related to RPC or the
daemon, although we plan to add these at some point in the future.
From C this function can be called in 3 different ways as in these
examples:
guestfs_add_drive_opts (g, filename,
GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_READONLY, 1,
GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_FORMAT, "raw",
-1);
(the argument(s) between 'filename' and '-1' are the optional ones).
guestfs_add_drive_opts_va (g, filename, args);
where 'args' is a va_list. This works like the first version.
struct guestfs_add_drive_opts_argv optargs = {
.bitmask = GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_READONLY_BITMASK,
.readonly = 1,
}
guestfs_add_drive_opts_argv (g, filename, &optargs);
This last form lets you construct lists of optional arguments, and
is used by guestfish and the language bindings.
In guestfish optional arguments are used like this:
add-drive-opts filename readonly:true
In OCaml these are mapped naturally to OCaml optional arguments, eg:
g#add_drive_opts ~readonly:true filename;
In Perl these are mapped to extra arguments, eg:
$g->add_drive_opts ($filename, readonly => 1);
In Python these are mapped to optional arguments, eg:
g.add_drive_opts ("file", readonly = 1, format = "qcow2")
In Ruby these are mapped to a final hash argument, eg:
g.add_drive_opts("file", {})
g.add_drive_opts("file", :readonly => 1)
g.add_drive_opts("file", :readonly => 1, :iface => "virtio")
In PHP these are mapped to extra parameters. This is not quite
accurate since you cannot omit arbitrary optional parameters, but
there's not much than can be done within the limitations of PHP
as a language.
Unimplemented in: Haskell, C#, Java.
