Subject: [PATCH v4 4/4] tests/functional: Use vmstate-static-checker.py to test data from v7.2
Date: Fri, 12 Sep 2025 12:07:55 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250912100755.316518-5-thuth@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250912100755.316518-1-thuth@redhat.com>
From: Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.com>
We've got this nice vmstate-static-checker.py script that can help to
detect screw-ups in the migration states. Unfortunately, it's currently
only run manually, which can be cumbersome. Let's run it from a functional
test automatically with the reference data from QEMU 7.2, so that we get
at least a basic coverage here. Since the test can fail when the checker
script detects a false positive, mark the test with a skipFlakyTest
decorator for now, so that it is only run when the user also set the
QEMU_TEST_FLAKY_TESTS environment variable.
