How to start docker container with privileged mode which used for postprocessing artifacts

by Sai Ashrith Sathujoda

We have a requirement for some test cases that the artifacts need to be modified (negative scenario) in order to verify some scenarios. we are currently using postprocess under deploy action for this purpose. As of part postprocess, we need to mount partitions of disk image and make some changes based on the requirement. However, we are unable to mount the partitions using losetup command. docker: image: debian:bookworm steps: - apt-get update - loop_dev=$(losetup -P -f --show image.wic) - echo $loop_dev The job failed with below error, losetup -P -f --show image.wic losetup: cannot find an unused loop device It looks like the docker container needs root privileges. It works when we run locally with "privileged:true". Is there any way we can pass "privileged: true" option to docker image through LAVA job definitions? Any inputs regarding this matter are highly appreciated.

How to verify secure boot negative test cases

by shivanand.kunijadar＠toshiba-tsip.com

Hello, I'm trying to verify secure boot on LAVA lab, I've verified the positive case of secure boot and confirmed the secure boot is enabled from the boot logs (kernel-start-message = "EFI stub: UEFI Secure Boot is enabled."). Next, I would like to verify the negative test case as well by tampering the secure boot image where I expect the image boot shall fail. Is there way in LAVA to make the job complete(e.g. waiting for specific message in boot logs like "Can't find image information. ") even though the image fails to boot on the DUT?

Securing LAVA Setup

by Michael Peddie

Hi, I have been looking into how to secure LAVA, as so far it's just been learning how it works. There's the obvious http/https stuff, and in the documentation mentions firewalls for remote workers (which we'll be using anyways). We already have things in place for physical security and plans on how to improve, so no worries there. Is there anything not covered in the documentation that should be considered and how could we go about putting that into place? Best regards, Michael

What does the gdb boot method do?

by 叶轩杨

I saw a file 'lava-dispatcher/actions/boot/gdb.py' in the LAVA source code, which seems to define a gdb method in action->boot. But I didn't find a description of it in the LAVA documentation. The document I checked is `https://docs.lavasoftware.org/lava/actions-boot.html?highlight=boot#boot-action-reference`. Reading the source code may lead to some misunderstandings and is time-consuming. I hope someone who knows its function can explain to me what this new method does. Thank you very much!

How to add custom data in the metadata field of notify callback json?

by 叶轩杨

I want to add some key:value pair in metadata of json that POST by notification of job, but I can not figure it out. I had tried add metadata in job defination and test defination, but the back json did not have my data in metadata field, it was just a []. Then I read the lava source code, I find the metadata data are produced by method `get_metadata_dict()` in class `TestJob`. This method is called at method `create_job_data` in class `TestJob`, it creates the json data which will post to callback url. `get_metadata_dict()` check whether there is an attribute `testdata`, but I can not find the place where this attribute‘s assignment. Could someone give me a way to do this? Thanks you very much! 🙏

Auto login fails after adding banner message before login prompt

by sweta.ghosh＠nagarro.com

Hello, We are testing our custom debian image and have added banner messages before login and after login and after the implementation LAVA job is failing on auto-login. Please find example banner messages: |_ _/ | | | | _| | |_____\ Info: Example.....: ABC Example......: ABC IP: etho.......:123 Info: 1. some info Some Info: 1. ### Some more info: #### login : It looks like due to a huge banner message before the login prompt it is getting confused and due to this, it gets stuck at auto login and timeouts. Please suggest if we can ignore this in LAVA to login and execute the test case Please find the job details: device_type: qemu job_name: banner timeouts: job: minutes: 30 action: minutes: 25 connection: minutes: 5 priority: medium visibility: public context: arch: amd64 lava_test_results_dir: "/home/lava-%s" actions: - deploy: timeout: minutes: 15 to: tmpfs images: rootfs: url: file:///home/image image_arg: XXXX - boot: timeout: minutes: 15 method: qemu media: tmpfs prompts: - 'login:' auto_login: login_prompt: "login:" username: abc password_prompt: "Password:" password: "abc" - test: timeout: minutes: 15 definitions: - repository: git(a)test.git from: git path: test.yaml name: basic Thanks, Sweta

Error Msg : "Connection aborted." when test monitor is used

by andy.sabathier＠nxp.com

Hello, I'm currently using version 2024.09, and when running the test monitor, I encounter the following error at the top of my job: ('Connection aborted.', RemoteDisconnected('Remote end closed connection without response')). I don't notice anything unusual in the test logs. Could this be a bug with the test monitor? Best Regards, Andy

job timeouts

by Milosz Wasilewski

Hi, I think there is something terribly wrong with job timeouts in 2024.05 release. Total job timeout seems to be ignored. This was working fine on 2024.01 release. I'll try to debug, but IMHO this is a pretty critical bug that should be addressed immediately. I'll report it in gitlab as well. Best Regards, Milosz

Copy local package for testing

by sweta.ghosh＠nagarro.com

Hello, I am spinning up debian image using Qemu and want to copy a custom package from my lava server to debian vm for testing. I could see that support for tar is planned https://docs.lavasoftware.org/lava/actions-test.html#inline-test-definition… . But is there any way I can include my custom package in tarbar created at Deploy Action to ship to my VM easily?
