Subject: [PATCH v2] libqtest: refuse QTEST_QEMU_BINARY=qemu-kvm
Date: Mon, 12 Apr 2021 10:18:24 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210412091824.707855-1-stefanha@redhat.com> (raw)
Some downstreams rename the QEMU binary to "qemu-kvm". This breaks
qtest_get_arch(), which attempts to parse the target architecture from
the QTEST_QEMU_BINARY environment variable.
Print an error instead of returning the architecture "kvm". Things fail
in weird ways when the architecture string is bogus.
Arguably qtests should always be run in a build directory instead of
against an installed QEMU. In any case, printing a clear error when this
happens is helpful.
