I've been sick again, which has been no fun, plus I've been kind of preoccupied with getting the flow table ready.This adds a script and configuration to use the Avocado Testing Framework to run, at this time, the static checkers. The actual tests are defined using (JSON based) files, that are known to Avocado as "recipes". The JSON files are parsed and "resolved" into tests by Avocado's "runnables-recipe" resolver. The syntax allows for any kind of test supported by Avocado to be defined there, including a mix of different test types.I'm not entirely clear. Is this relying on the various extensions we've discussed and you've been working on? Or is this using the older job API, but will become neater with the recent/coming extensions?By the nature of Avocado's default configuration, those will run in parallel in the host system. For more complex tests or different use cases, Avocado could help in future versions by running those in different environments such as containers.Probably not super useful for the static checkers, but could be handy for other things. Then again... doing that could allow us to "lock" to a specific static checker version which could have some advantages.The entry point ("test/run_avocado") is intended to be an optional tool at this point, coexisting with the current implementation to run tests. It uses Avocado's Job API to create a job with, at this point, the static checkers suite.So, you can run the tests either with run_avocado, or running Avocado directly?The installation of Avocado itself is left to users, given that the details on how to install it (virtual environments and specific tooling) can be a very different and long discussion.Right... if the required Avocado version was already packaged in latest Fedora and/or Debian, I'd have no qualms about that. It looks like you require a very new one though, which makes me a little nervous about requiring that complex installation. I guess if it's pip installable that helps. Though if I recall on Debian even that requires some venv setup. Eventually I think we'll want a README for Avocado installation, or better yet make targets that will install it automatically in a local venv.Signed-off-by: Cleber Rosa <crosa(a)redhat.com> --- test/avocado/static_checkers.json | 16 ++++++++++ test/run_avocado | 49 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 65 insertions(+) create mode 100644 test/avocado/static_checkers.json create mode 100755 test/run_avocado diff --git a/test/avocado/static_checkers.json b/test/avocado/static_checkers.json new file mode 100644 index 0000000..5fae43e --- /dev/null +++ b/test/avocado/static_checkers.json @@ -0,0 +1,16 @@ +[ + { + "kind": "exec-test", + "uri": "make", + "args": [ + "clang-tidy" + ] + }, + { + "kind": "exec-test", + "uri": "make", + "args": [ + "cppcheck" + ] + } +]Looks pretty reasonable to me, at least for these simple cases.
