Previously, the osbuild executor had its internal temporary directory that
served as the output directory. However, this approach gives no power to
the caller to control the lifetime of the produced artifacts. When more
images are built using one executor, the results will accumulate in one
place possibly leading to exhaustion of disk space.
This commit removes the executor's internal output directory. The output
directory can now be passed to osbuild.compile, so the caller can control
its lifetime. If no directory is passed in, the compile method will use
its own temporary directory - this is useful in cases when the caller
doesn't care about the built artifacts or the manifest doesn't have any
outputs.
The `capture_output` argument for subprocess.run was added in 3.7,
but want to support 3.6 as well. Change all the usages of it with
`stdout=subprocess.PIPE` that will have the same effect, at least
for stdout.
Move `test_objectstore` into the module-level tests. This allows us to
run it as part of `make test-module.
Make sure to properly guard it as root-only module.
We want to extend our base-class to support extensions to
unittest.TestCase, so make sure we inherit from it.
Adjust all callers to no longer inherit from TestCase, since this is now
done automatically by TestBase.
Move the `tree-diff` tool into ./tools, which is our new place for tools
used by the test-suite or during development.
The only hard-coded user is the TestBase, so fix its path to the tool
so the test-suite will continue to find it.
Using `[]` as default value for arguments makes `pylint` complain. The
reason is that it creates an array statically at the time the function
is parsed, rather than dynamically on invocation of the function. This
means, when you append to this array, you change the global instance and
every further invocation of that function works on this modified array.
While our use-cases are safe, this is indeed a common pitfall. Lets
avoid using this and resort to `None` instead.
This silences a lot of warnings from pylint about "dangerous use of []".
The `tree-diff` tool currently requires access to our local checkout,
since we do not install the tool. Provide accessors in `TestBase` so we
do not hard-code the path everywhere.
Add a new OSBuild class to `./test/test.py`. This class is an extension
of `./test/osbuildtest.py`, but no longer requires the `output_id` and
`tree_id` identifiers of osbuild.
Furthermore, this new executor uses context-managers to make sure any
temporary object is only accessed for a contained time-frame.
Add a new base class called `TestBase` to our test-suite. This allows
sharing common code between our tests without requiring them to import
each other. Furthermore, it paves the way towards executing all our
tests as part of the `unittest` framework, including pylint and others.
For now, this adds the following features to `TestBase`:
* Common test-guards that are shared between our tests, like
`can_modify_immutable()` or `have_rpm_ostree()`.
* Accessors to the test-checkout. This is `have_test_checkout()` to
check whether the running test has a repository checkout, and
`locate_test_checkout()` to get a path to the repository checkout.
This will allow us to put pylint and friends into the unittest
framework, guard them properly, and still allow running the tests
from a global install which might not have access to a checkout.
For now, we always assume we run from a checkout.
* Accessors to test-data. If we start installing tests as a module
into the system, we cannot bundle test-data together with code.
Therefore, two accessors `have_test_data()` and `locate_test_data()`
are implemented to guard access to test data. If a checkout is
available, it will be used to locate test-data.
In the future, we want to be able to pass a separate path to the
test-data, thus allowing us to install tests into a system.
