Hello Lava-Users,
We are running tests on imxqsaberlite target in LAVA .The Lava version
that we are using is 2018.4 release.
We are facing 2 issues
1.Related to auto_login section in boot action.When we are specifying the
username as root in auto_login section sometimes out of 5 tries once the
root is getting changed as "oroot" due to which test execution is failing
Following is the boot action part of job definition
- boot:
namespace: nfs_boot
repeat: 3
method: u-boot
commands: nfs
auto_login:
login_prompt: 'login:'
username: root
prompts:
- 'root@mx6q:~#'
timeout:
minutes: 10
Following is the job log output
Matched prompt #6: login: Sending username root root mx6q login:root
auto-login-action: Wait for prompt ['root@mx6q:~#', 'Login incorrect',
'Login timed out'] (timeout 00:07:24) orot
2.Related to the Repeat action block of LAVA
https://validation.linaro.org/static/docs/v2/actions-repeats.html?highlight…
We are trying to use repeat action in boot action part of job definition as
we want to repeat booting of the target 3 times.Issue we are facing is it
is not stopping at the end of 3 iterations of boot and it is continuing
till the timeout specified duration of the job.
Thanks,
Hemanth.

Thank you, that really helps a lot. We want to trigger the LAVA jobs from Jenkins as well, and we need lots of metadata because the tests will be part of our release notes in the end. So no, this is definitely not more complicated than we need. In fact, this is a very good starting point for us.
You should think about adding a chapter to the LAVA documentation about how to generate YAML job submissions via templates. I assume we are not the only ones facing this problem. And I had basically no experience with jinja2 at all before evaluating LAVA, so I would not have come up with the idea of using this mechanism for the job submissions myself.

OTC Production Kernel Integration Test
Hi,
We are doing boot regression test using (in DB{410,820}c) an Android boot
image that contains a ramdisk [1].
We aim to do functional testing in a way that if the basic testing fails
the next test definition dosen't run, that's implies dependencies over
-test entries in the job [2].
Does LAVA test shell provides this kind of functionality?
If not, any idea to achieve this functionality.
Regards,
Anibal

The LAVA software team created a document to summarise the experience, so
far, of automating devices for validation and that document formed the
basis of a presentation at Linaro Connect in Hong Kong earlier this year by
Steve McIntyre.
The content has been living inside a wiki within Linaro but there have been
delays in making the URL visible to anonymous viewers. I have therefore
migrated the content to my blog:
https://linux.codehelp.co.uk/automation-and-risk.html
A link to the presentation is included.
Available under CC BY-SA 3.0 and shortly to appear on planet.debian.org
Please share with anyone involved in designing hardware which is likely to
end up on your desk for automation support and anyone else who may be
interested in the hardware challenges of device automation.
A second shorter post on Firmware Best Practices will follow - some of the
elements of that document were also covered in the presentation at Connect.

Hi all
Problem 1:
I find Lava2 re-download Test case repository if more than two test suite needed test in a lava job. Personal think this is waste of time. How can I make lava download Test
case repository only once in a lava job ( ps : all of our test suite in some repository) .I want to know lava can do or cant not do, if can please tell me how to do THX.
Not currently supported. We already support shallow clones by default and you can use the history option to remove the .git directory if you are short of space.
https://staging.validation.linaro.org/static/docs/v2/test-repositories.html…
We have looked at various options for this support - none were reliable across all devices & test jobs at scale.
Not due to short of space But spent so many time to re-download
Problem 2:
As all we know lava must install os before execute the test task in standard procedure. But in our practical application we find no need mechanical implementation of the
Process. In some case, we just need install os only ones and repeated test, even we install manually os and just use lava to do test. We want lava2 like M-lab install os and
execute test task uncoupling. we met the problems : can not judge the os installed in DUT(device under test ) whether is our SUT(system under test). All caused by very little
information can we read from DUT. I want to know how can I uncoupling install system and execute test ,user can choose only install os 、only execute test 、install os and execute
test 、install os ones and repeat execute test ...
That is entirely down to your own test shell definitions - follow best practice for portability and then run separate test actions.
Do not use simplistic testing with the problems of persistence - each test job needs to start with a clean setup, not whatever was left behind by a previous test job.
Please explain in more detail what you are actually trying to achieve.
The test writer can already choose to install (i.e. deploy) and then test - the test job specifies deploy, boot and test actions.
*If* the test writer knows that it is then safe to run other tests, those can be added into another job by extending the list of test definitions used by the action.
Not all device-types support rebooting the device between test actions in the same test job. This is a limitation of the hardware.
We want lava more smarter. do not re-deploy system if more than two lava job show the same type system(centos、ubuntu、debian)—just deploy system ones. We
have eliminated destructive cases
problem 3:
According to your experience, optimally how many DUT can mount under a lava worker and what is a constrain bottleneck?
That depends on a wide range of factors.
* What kind of test jobs are being run on the worker?
** TFTP is lighter load, fastboot is high load (1 CPU core per fastboot device + at least 1 core for the underlying OS)
* What is the I/O performance of the worker?
** Many images need manipulation and that can produce high I/O load spikes
* Infrastructure limits play a role as well - network switch load and LAN topology.
There is no definitive answer to your question.
Start small, scale slowly and test with known good functional tests at every change.
We will try fellow the rules: Start small, scale slowly and test with known good functional tests at every change.
