Subject: [OE-core][PATCH v3] systemd: re-enable ptest support
Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2026 11:45:07 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260907114507.294436-1-HimaniRamesh.Barde@windriver.com> (raw)
ptest support for systemd was dropped in 2018 (commit 906230a73b3c)
when the recipe switched to meson, as there was no easy way to install
and run the test suite. Current systemd and meson resolve this: the
meson 'install-tests' option installs the unit-test binaries and a
run-unit-tests.py runner under ${prefix}/lib/systemd/tests, and
run-unit-tests.py already emits PASS:/SKIP: results per test.
Add a 'tests' PACKAGECONFIG gated on PTEST_ENABLED that sets -Dtests
and -Dinstall-tests and pulls in python3-pefile-native (needed to build
the boot hwids test). do_install_ptest relocates the installed tests
into ${PTEST_PATH} and drops the mkosi/integration-tests harness (which
needs a booted system). A run-ptest wrapper drives run-unit-tests.py,
and systemd is registered in ptest-packagelists.inc.
The test/units integration tests, which require a booted system, are
out of scope here and can be addressed separately.
Verified on oe-core master (261.2, qemux86-64): with ptest enabled, 342
unit-test binaries plus run-unit-tests.py install into ${PTEST_PATH} and
systemd-ptest packages cleanly with no QA errors.
[YOCTO #16386]

v3:
- Move PACKAGECONFIG[tests] next to the other PACKAGECONFIG entries and
the PTEST_ENABLED conditional into the PACKAGECONFIG ??= block (Jose
Quaresma).
- Drop the inline comment; details are in the commit message (Jose
Quaresma).
- Fix the SRC_URI run-ptest indentation (Jose Quaresma).
- Wrap the commit message at ~72 columns.
v2:
- Gate tests via a PACKAGECONFIG on PTEST_ENABLED (Jose Quaresma).
- Register systemd in ptest-packagelists.inc, fixing the missing-ptest
QA error seen on the autobuilder (Khem Raj, Richard Purdie).
- Add python3-pefile-native dependency (fixes boot hwids test build
failure). Exclude the mkosi/integration harness from the ptest package.
