Subject: [PATCH stalld 05/36] tests/functional: Fix and refactor test_backend_selection.sh
Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2026 16:43:28 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260330194410.103953-6-wander@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260330194410.103953-1-wander@redhat.com>
test_backend_selection.sh fails when invoked by run_tests.sh because
it uses a relative path (../stalld) that resolves incorrectly when the
working directory is not tests/functional/. It also lacks
parse_test_options for backend passthrough from the test runner, does
not track temporary log files for cleanup, and contains four
copy-pasted 30-line blocks that implement the same
start/verify/check/stop pattern.
Extract the repeated pattern into a test_backend_flag() helper
function that starts stalld with a given -b flag, verifies the
expected backend message appears in the log, and calls stop_stalld.
The helper uses $! instead of pgrep for PID capture since stalld
runs in foreground mode. Fix the stalld path to use ${TEST_ROOT},
add parse_test_options and CLEANUP_FILES tracking, and correct the
test numbering.
