Subject: [PATCH] scripts: improve error from qemu-trace-stap on missing 'stap'
Date: Fri, 6 Dec 2024 11:45:24 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241206114524.1666664-1-berrange@redhat.com> (raw)
If the 'stap' binary is missing in $PATH, a huge trace is thrown
$ qemu-trace-stap list /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/qemu-trace-stap", line 169, in <module>
main()
File "/usr/bin/qemu-trace-stap", line 165, in main
args.func(args)
File "/usr/bin/qemu-trace-stap", line 83, in cmd_run
subprocess.call(stapargs)
File "/usr/lib64/python3.12/subprocess.py", line 389, in call
with Popen(*popenargs, **kwargs) as p:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
File "/usr/lib64/python3.12/subprocess.py", line 1026, in {}init{}
self._execute_child(args, executable, preexec_fn, close_fds,
File "/usr/lib64/python3.12/subprocess.py", line 1955, in _execute_child
raise child_exception_type(errno_num, err_msg, err_filename)
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'stap'
With this change the user now gets
$ qemu-trace-stap list /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64
Unable to find 'stap' in $PATH
