Debos Execution Testing ⚠️ EXPECTED LIMITATION

🔨 Testing Debos Execution...
   📋 Test manifest created: test-debos.yaml
   🔍 Attempting debos execution...
      ⚠️ Debos execution failed (expected in current environment): exit status 1
      💡 This is expected - we need a proper debos environment with fakemachine

🔍 Current Limitations Identified

1. Architecture Detection Issue ⚠️ MINOR

  • Problem: Architecture showing as "unset" in generated manifests
  • Impact: Minor - manifests still functional, architecture can be set manually
  • Solution: Fix architecture detection logic in manifest generator

2. Debos Execution Environment ⚠️ EXPECTED

  • Problem: debos execution fails in current environment
  • Impact: Cannot test complete end-to-end workflow
  • Solution: Setup proper debos environment with fakemachine

3. Fakemachine Dependencies ⚠️ EXPECTED

  • Problem: Missing proper KVM/fakemachine setup
  • Impact: debos cannot create virtual machine environment
  • Solution: Install and configure fakemachine with proper permissions

🚀 Next Steps: Proper Debos Environment Setup

Immediate Priority: Environment Setup

  1. Install fakemachine: sudo apt install fakemachine
  2. Configure KVM permissions: Add user to kvm and disk groups
  3. Setup proper work directories: Configure permissions and mounts
  4. Test basic debos functionality: Verify environment works

Environment Testing Sequence

  1. Basic debos test: Simple manifest execution
  2. Container extraction: Test with real container images
  3. Manifest generation: Validate dynamic manifest creation
  4. End-to-end workflow: Complete container-to-image pipeline
  5. Image validation: Verify generated bootable images

Advanced Testing

  1. VM-based testing: Use dedicated VM for reliable testing
  2. Container-based testing: Privileged container with full access
  3. Performance testing: Measure extraction and build times
  4. Error handling: Test various failure scenarios
