From: Anthony PERARD <anthony.perard@vates.tech>
It's slyghtly more complicated than the QubeOS's test script as we try
here to create a small rootfs with just enough for setting up the
network, then once Linux is booted we load the rest, that is Xen's
toolstack.
Loading the full rootfs at netboot on the moonshot takes more than 10
minutes, while download it once Linux is booted is much faster.
The network configuration should be flexible enough, we can select
static IP or DHCP, and setup VLAN if needed. I've mainly only tested
static IP + VLAN.

From: Anthony PERARD <anthony.perard@vates.tech>
Adding a second test, to help show how to improve the fixtures, and
needed code in libraries
That test copies part of the run tools-test tests, but we could shared
that better.
Then, we ssh to the host, to both follow the guest log files and to
prepare and start the guest, over several SSH channel.
tail_log() could go into a lib.
And I don't know yet what to do with the collected threads object.
I also want to get rid of the guest_boot_script marker, and ssh to the
guest instead.

All thees could be instead pass to the environment of a gitlab-runner

We had a design session on this topic, and we discussed a structural
change: have one job per Xen boot flavor (mostly dom0 PV vs PVH, but
could be also other settings needing host reboot) and then have pytest
run several tests via SSH. The idea is to not waste 2-4 minutes for
every ~10 sec test. Yes, it does mean one failed test will likely
prevent others in the same job from running (especially in case of Xen
panic), but since the intended state is "all green", a single failure is
bad already, and this approach should still get you enough information
to debug that first failure.
In practical terms, it would require most fixtures to be class or
session scope, instead of the default test scope. And using more SSH
instead of baking tests into startup scripts (already partially done,
but may need extending to domU commands too).
Other than that, this approach looks nice, and I really like using
pytest here, as it makes the structure significantly better. This will
likely require a bit of adjustments to handle also other hosts (for
example for qubes runners tftp dir is mounted into gitlab's container so
there is no need to sftp boot files). But that should be easy to do
later, it doesn't change the overall structure much.

FWIW Qubes tests use Alpine container, seems to have all what we need. I
see it also has paramiko 4.0.0

Hi Anthony,
Nice to hear! I reviewed it quickly and it seems to be a more maintainable
solution to add machines in the CI.
FWIW the patch series I sent [1] also uses a python-driven framework (QTB)
which aims to replace the existing shell smoke test scripts. It's QEMU-only
though as it drives QEMU over QMP/qtest to manually trigger some IRQs. So,
it doesn't cover your usecase for the moment as-is and for the moment I
don't see a possible common abstraction between them but worth flagging.
Moreover, do you think we could replace the QEMU smoke-tests by using your
framework? With a very quick review, it seems we could just add a pytest
fixture machine_on_qemu(). If yes, then it would definitely be an overlap
with the usage of QTB I described above.
