From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Lucas Meneghel Rodrigues Subject: [PATCH] KVM test: Pass the test parameters through the command line Date: Fri, 14 Jan 2011 09:42:39 -0200 Message-ID: <1295005359-4840-1-git-send-email-lmr@redhat.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Cc: kvm@vger.kernel.org To: autotest@test.kernel.org Return-path: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Sender: autotest-bounces@test.kernel.org Errors-To: autotest-bounces@test.kernel.org List-Id: kvm.vger.kernel.org From: Jason Wang The patch tries to make using kvm-autotest much more easier by enabling the ability of passing the test parameters from command line directly through --args="key1=value1 key2=value2 ... keyN=valueN". The idea is simple, autotest test pass the additional parameters through args, and the control file analyzes them and generate the configuration string for kvm_config. The keywords "only" and "no" were introduced to limit the variants, for each "only=variant1" the control file would generate a line "only variant1", same for "no". For others, "key = value" is generated. User still need to be familiar with the test parameters in order to get the intended test matrix. Change from V3: Use a slightly bigger subset of the config file language by allowing "no" to limit the amount of variants. Change from V2: Use the args exported by autotest. Analyze the cmd parameters in control and drop control.cli. Drop test_cli.cfg.sample so there's no default variants. Add "only" which is used to limit the varaints. Change from V1: Drop the wrapper method and use the control file directly.
