Subject: [PATCH stalld 11/36] tests/functional: Fix false positive log matching in test_logging_destinations
Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2026 16:43:34 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260330194410.103953-12-wander@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260330194410.103953-1-wander@redhat.com>
The test framework's log() function sends entries to the system
journal tagged with [stalld] via logger -t stalld. The logging
destination tests were using grep "stalld" to verify daemon
output in dmesg, syslog, and journalctl, which also matched
these framework entries and caused false passes.
Add a local has_stalld_log() filter function that matches
"stalld" while excluding lines containing "stalld". Use grep -F
for fixed-string matching throughout to avoid unnecessary regex
interpretation.
