use_ccache: false
parallel_jobs: 2
# Build settings
keep_chroot: false
verbose: true
debug: false
```
## ✅ **Test Results**
### **1. Configuration Loading** ✅
```bash
$ deb-mock -c test-config.yaml debug-config
Configuration (with templates):
chroot_name: debian-bookworm-amd64
architecture: amd64
suite: bookworm
basedir: ./chroots
output_dir: ./output
chroot_dir: ./chroots
cache_dir: ./cache
chroot_home: /home/build
```
### **2. Core Configurations** ✅
```bash
$ deb-mock list-configs
Available core configurations:
- debian-bookworm-amd64: Debian Bookworm (Debian 12) - AMD64
Suite: bookworm, Arch: amd64

```
### **3. Package Analysis** ✅
The hello package is a simple example that demonstrates:
- Basic Debian packaging structure
- Minimal build dependencies (only debhelper-compat)
- Standard package metadata
- Proper source control file format
## 🔧 **Build Process (Theoretical)**
### **Step 1: Initialize Chroot**
```bash
# This would create a Debian Bookworm chroot environment
deb-mock -c test-config.yaml init-chroot debian-bookworm-amd64
```
### **Step 2: Install Build Dependencies**
```bash
# This would install debhelper-compat and other build dependencies
deb-mock -c test-config.yaml install-deps examples/hello_1.0.dsc
```
### **Step 3: Build Package**
```bash
# This would build the hello package in the isolated environment
deb-mock -c test-config.yaml build examples/hello_1.0.dsc
```
### **Step 4: Package Management (Optional)**
```bash
# Install additional packages if needed
deb-mock -c test-config.yaml install build-essential
# Update package lists
deb-mock -c test-config.yaml update
# Execute custom APT commands
deb-mock -c test-config.yaml apt "install -y devscripts"
```
## 🚧 **Current Limitations**
### **Root Privileges Required**
The current implementation requires root privileges for:
- Creating chroot environments with `debootstrap`
- Mounting/unmounting filesystems
- Setting up schroot configurations
### **System Dependencies**
The following system packages are required:
- `sbuild` - Debian package building tool
- `schroot` - Chroot environment manager
- `debootstrap` - Chroot creation tool
## 🎯 **Alternative Test Approaches**
### **1. Mock Testing (Recommended)**
Create unit tests that mock the system calls:
```python
def test_build_workflow():
"""Test the complete build workflow with mocked system calls"""
# Mock debootstrap, sbuild, and other system tools
# Verify that the correct commands would be executed
# Test configuration loading and validation
```
### **2. Integration Testing**
Set up a CI/CD environment with proper privileges:
```yaml
# GitHub Actions or similar
- name: Setup build environment
run: |
sudo apt install -y sbuild schroot debootstrap
sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/deb-mock /var/cache/deb-mock
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /var/lib/deb-mock /var/cache/deb-mock
```
### **3. Docker Testing**
Create a Docker container with all dependencies:
```dockerfile
FROM debian:bookworm
RUN apt update && apt install -y sbuild schroot debootstrap
# Set up deb-mock environment
```

suite: bookworm
basedir: /var/lib/deb-mock
output_dir: ./output
chroot_dir: /var/lib/deb-mock/chroots
cache_dir: /var/cache/deb-mock
chroot_home: /home/build
```

Suite: sid, Arch: amd64
- ubuntu-jammy-amd64: Ubuntu Jammy (22.04 LTS) - AMD64
Suite: jammy, Arch: amd64
- ubuntu-noble-amd64: Ubuntu Noble (24.04 LTS) - AMD64
Suite: noble, Arch: amd64
```
**Result**: ✅ All debugging and configuration tools work correctly
## 🔧 **Issues Fixed During Testing**
### **1. Decorator Issue**
**Problem**: The `@handle_exception` decorator was causing Click to register commands as "wrapper" instead of their actual names.
**Solution**: Added `@functools.wraps(func)` to preserve the original function name.
### **2. Missing Configuration Attributes**
**Problem**: CLI was referencing `basedir`, `cache_dir`, and `chroot_home` attributes that weren't defined in the Config class.
**Solution**: Added missing attributes to the Config class:
```python
self.basedir = kwargs.get('basedir', '/var/lib/deb-mock')
self.cache_dir = kwargs.get('cache_dir', '/var/cache/deb-mock')
self.chroot_home = kwargs.get('chroot_home', '/home/build')
```
