[KVM-AUTOTEST PATCH 0/4] Step file tests: introducing a new feature and some small changes

[KVM-AUTOTEST PATCH 0/4] Step file tests: introducing a new feature and some small changes

[Michael Goldish]

The following patches make some changes to step file tests:
* Rename parameter output_dir in barrier_2() to debug_dir.
* Move some code from run_steps() into barrier_2().
* Add a new feature (keep_screendump_history) which allows the user to see
  exactly what went wrong with a step file test. Currently only the last
  screendump is kept for each failed step file test; with this feature enabled,
  all screendumps are kept in compact JPG format.
* Use the new feature by default in kvm_tests.cfg.sample.

[KVM-AUTOTEST PATCH 1/4] kvm_guest_wizard: rename output_dir to debug_dir in barrier_2()

[Michael Goldish]

The name 'debug_dir' makes it clearer that it corresponds to test.debugdir.

[KVM-AUTOTEST PATCH 2/4] kvm_guest_wizard: pass 'params' directly to barrier_2()

[Michael Goldish]

Currently parameters for barrier_2() are extracted from 'params' in the main
run_steps() test routine, and then passed to barrier_2().
Instead, let barrier_2() extract parameters from 'params' as it sees fit.
This will make adding new parameters slightly easier and cleaner.

Could be simplified by (preferably in a separate patch):
        fail_if_stuck_for = params.get("fail_if_stuck_for", 1e308)
        fail_if_stuck_for = float(fail_if_stuck_for)

        stuck_detection_history = params.get("stuck_detection_history", 2)
        stuck_detection_history = int(stuck_detection_history)

or even with a single line for each param:
        var = cast(params.get(var_name, default_value))

[KVM-AUTOTEST PATCH 3/4] kvm_guest_wizard: allow keeping screendump history for debugging purposes

[Michael Goldish]

Add two new step file test parameters:
- keep_screendump_history: if equals 'yes', screendump history is saved in
  test.debugdir/barrier_history in JPG format.  Each screendump taken by the
  test is saved if it differs from the previous screendump.  By default, when
  a barrier succeeds all history is removed, so eventually the remaining files
  are only those of the (last) failed barrier, if any.
- keep_all_history: if equals 'yes', screendump history is not removed upon
  barrier success.  The test leaves behind all the collected screendump history.

I see, it depends on kvm subprocess, so I will apply this patch after
the kvm subprocess patch is applied.

Here I also think that we should check for the presence of ImageMagick
to avoid failing the test out of necessity.

Again, the test won't fail as long as kvm_subprocess doesn't raise exceptions.
It'll just display bash's "command not found" response in debug messages with
a "(convert) " prefix.

[KVM-AUTOTEST PATCH 4/4] kvm_tests.cfg.sample: add 'keep_screendump_history = yes' to step file tests

[Michael Goldish]

This should be rather harmless because the history does not take up much space,
and is only kept for the failed barriers in failed tests, by default.
It should significantly ease debugging of failed step file tests.

Other than minor comments, patch set looks good to me. Please let me
know if you agree with my comments.
