This subroutine is used to by several subroutines dealing with mouse clicks to calculate a clickpoint, when only the needle area is available. It takes the area coordinates and returns the center of that area. It is meant to be a helper subroutine not available to be used in tests.

Used for internal initialization, do not call from tests.

Set distribution object.

You can use distribution object to implement distribution specific helpers.

Saves screenshot of current SUT screen.

Record a soft failure on the current test modules result. The result will still be counted as a success. Use this to mark where workarounds are applied. Takes an optional $reason string which is recorded in the log file. See force_soft_failure to forcefully override a failed test module status from a post_fail_hook or record_info when the status should not be influenced.

Example:

Record a generic step result on the current test modules. This is meant for informational purposes to be interpreted by a displaying system. For example openQA can show a info box as part of the job results details. Use this instead of record_soft_failure for example when you do not want to mark the job as a softfail. The optional value $result can be 'ok' (default), 'fail', 'softfail'. $resultname can be specified for the additional name tag on the result file.

Similar to record_soft_failure but can be used to override the test module status to softfail from a post_fail_hook if the module would be set to fail otherwise. This can be used for easier tracking of known issues without needing to handle failed tests a lot.

Wait for needle with tag $mustmatch to appear on SUT screen. $mustmatch can be string or ARRAYREF of string (['tag1', 'tag2']). The maximum waiting time is defined by $timeout. It is recommended to use a value lower than the default timeout only when explicitly needed. assert_screen is not very suitable for checking performance expectations. Under the normal circumstance of the screen being shown this does not imply a longer waiting time as the method returns as soon as a successful needle match occurred.

Specify $no_wait to run the screen check as fast as possible that is possibly more than once per second which is default. Select this to check a screen which can change in a range faster than 1-2 seconds not to miss the screen to check for.

Returns matched needle or throws FailedNeedle exception if $timeout timeout is hit. Default timeout is 30s.

Similar to assert_screen but does not throw exceptions. Use this for optional matches. Check assert_screen for parameters.

Unlike assert_screen it is recommended to use the lowest possible timeout to prevent needless waiting time in case no match is expected behaviour. In general a value of 0s for the timeout should suffice, that is only checking once with no waiting time. In most cases a check_screen with a higher timeout can be replaced by assert_screen with multiple tags using an ARRAYREF in combination with match_has_tag or another synchronization call in before, for example wait_screen_change or wait_still_screen.

Returns matched needle or undef if timeout is hit. Default timeout is 0s.

Returns true (1) if last matched needle has $tag, false (0) if last matched needle does not have $tag, and undef if no needle has yet been matched at the time of the call.

Wait for needle with $mustmatch tag to appear on SUT screen. Then click $button at the "click_point" position as defined in the needle JSON file, or - if the JSON has not explicit "click_point" - in the middle of the last needle area. If $dclick is set, do double click instead. $mustmatch can be string or ARRAYREF of strings (['tag1', 'tag2']). $button is by default 'left'. 'left' and 'right' is supported. If $mousehide is true then always move mouse to the 'hidden' position after clicking to prevent to hide the area where the user wants to assert/click in the second step. If $point_id is specified, the clickpoint used will be the one with a matching ID.

Throws FailedNeedle exception if $timeout timeout is hit. Default timeout is 30s.

Click $button at the "click_point" position as defined in the needle JSON file of the last matched needle, or - if the JSON has not explicit "click_point" - in the middle of the last match area. If $dclick is set, do double click instead. Supported values for $button are 'left' and 'right', 'left' is the default. If $mousehide is true then always move mouse to the 'hidden' position after clicking to prevent to disturb the area where the user wants to assert/click in the second step, otherwise move the mouse back to its previous position. If $point_id is specified, the clickpoint used will be the one with a matching ID.

Alias for assert_and_click with $dclick set.

Wrapper around code that is supposed to change the screen. This is the opposite to wait_still_screen. Make sure to put the commands to change the screen within the block to avoid races between the action and the screen change. wait_screen_change waits for a screen change after CODEREF was executed.

Example:

Notice: If you use the second parameter, you could get the following warning

To avoid it, use parentheses for the function call and the reserved word 'sub' for the callback subroutine block.

To lower the backend’s internal update interval while looking for screen changes, use the optional parameter no_wait ⇒ 1. This makes the test execution faster if the screen change is expected to happen (almost) immediately.

Returns true if screen changed or false on timeout. Default timeout is 10s. Default similarity_level is 50.

Run CODEREF with wait_screen_change but die if screen did not change within timeout. Look into wait_screen_change for details.

Example:

Wait until the screen stops changing.

See assert_screen for $no_wait.

Returns true if screen is not changed for given $stilltime (in seconds) or undef on timeout. Default timeout is 30s, default stilltime is 7s.

Run wait_still_screen but die if screen changed within timeout. Look into wait_still_screen for details.

Returns content of test variable $variable or the $default given as second argument or undef

Similar to get_var but without default value and throws exception if variable can not be retrieved.

Set test variable $variable to value $value.

Variables starting with SECRET or including _PASSWORD will not appear in the vars.json file.

Specify a true value for the reload_needles flag to trigger a reloading of needles in the backend and call the cleanup handler with the new variables to make sure that possibly deselected needles are now taken into account (useful if you change scenarios during the test run)

Returns true if test variable $variable is equal to $value or returns undef.

Return the given variable as array reference (split variable value by , | or ; )

Boolean function to check if a value list contains a value

Determines if communication with the guest is being performed purely over a serial port. When true, the guest should have a tty attached to a serial port and os-autoinst sends commands to it as text. This differs from when a text console is selected in the guest, but VNC is being used to simulate key presses.

When a serial terminal is selected you will not be able to use functions which rely on needles. This sub is not exported by default as most tests will not benefit from changing their behaviour depending on if communication happens over serial or VNC.

For more info see consoles/virtio_console.pm and consoles/serial_screen.pm.

Deprecated mode

Wait for $regex or anyone of $regexes to appear on serial output.

Setting $no_regex will cause it to do a plain string search.

Set $quiet, to avoid recording serial_result.

For serial_terminal there are more options available, like record_output, buffer_size. See consoles::serial_screen::read_until for details.

Returns the string matched or undef if $expect_not_found is false (default).

Returns undef or (after timeout) the string that did _not match_ if $expect_not_found is true. The default timeout is 90 seconds.

Start $program in graphical desktop environment.

The implementation is distribution specific and not always available.

Deprecated mode

Run $cmd via $distri→script_run and die unless it returns zero (indicating successful completion of $cmd). Default timeout is 90 seconds. Use script_run instead if $cmd may fail.

$fail_message is returned in the die message if specified.

The script_run implementation is distribution specific and not always available. For this to work correctly, it must return 0 if and only if $command completes successfully. It must NOT return 0 if $command times out. The default implementation should work on *nix operating systems with a configured serial device.

Deprecated mode

Run $cmd (in the default implementation, by assuming the console prompt and typing the command). If $timeout is greater than 0, wait for that length of time for execution to complete.

$output can be used as an explanatory text that will be displayed with the execution of the command.

By default script_run will throw an exception if the timeout has expired. This is equivalent to use of die_on_timeout equal to 1. To use the deprecated behaviour of not throwing an error on timeout set the value to 0. This option will be removed in the near future.

<Returns> exit code received from $cmd or undef if $timeout is 0 or timeout expired and die_on_timeout is not 1.

The implementation is distribution specific and not always available.

The default implementation should work on *nix operating systems with a configured serial device so long as the user has permissions to write to the supplied serial device $serialdev.

Run $cmd in background without waiting for it to finish. Remember to redirect output, otherwise the PID marker may get corrupted.

$output can be used as an explanatory text that will be displayed with the execution of the command.

<Returns> PID of the $cmd process running in the background.

The implementation is distribution specific and not always available.

The default implementation should work on *nix operating systems with a configured serial device so long as the user has permissions to write to the supplied serial device $serialdev.

Run $command via script_sudo and then check by wait_serial if its exit status is not zero. See wait_serial for default timeout.

The implementation is distribution specific and not always available.

Make sure the non-root user has permissions to write to the supplied serial device $serialdev.

Run $program using sudo. Handle the sudo timeout and send password when appropriate. $wait defaults to 2 seconds.

The implementation is distribution specific and not always available.

Executing script inside SUT with bash -eox (in case of serial console with bash -eo) and directs stdout (not stderr!) to the serial console and returns the output if the script exits with 0. Otherwise the test is set to failed. NOTE: execution result may include extra serial output which was on serial console since command was triggered in case serial console is not dedicated for the script output only.

The script content is based on the variable content of current_test_script and is typed or fetched through HTTP depending on various parameters. Typing can be forced by passing type_command = 1> for example when the SUT does not provide a usable network connection.

proceed_on_failure - allows to proceed with validation when $script is failing (return non-zero exit code)

The default timeout for the script is based on the default in wait_serial and can be tweaked by setting the $wait positional parameter.

Saves content to the file in the worker pool directory using hash of the path, including file, so it can be fetched via http later on using ` <autoinst_url`/files/#path_to_the_file> > url. Can be used to modify files for specific test needs, e.g. autoinst profiles. Dies if cannot open file for writing.

Returns filename of saved file (filename hashed).

Example: save_tmp_file('autoyast/autoinst.xml', '<profile>Test</profile>') Then the file can be fetched using url: ` <autoinst_url`/files/autoyast/autoinst.xml> >

Returns content of the file located in data directory. This method can be used if one needs to modify files content before accessing it in SUT.

Example: get_test_data('autoyast/autoinst.xml') This will return content of the file located in data/autoyast/autoinst.xml

Deprecated mode

Wrapper around script_output, that runs a callback on the output, or alternatively matches a regular expression. Use it as

Open a root shell.

The implementation is distribution specific and not always available.

Helper to install a package to SUT.

The implementation is distribution specific and not always available.

Return a short string representing the given string by passing it through the MD5 algorithm and taking the first characters.

Send one $key to SUT keyboard input. Waits for the screen to change when $wait_screen_change is true.

Special characters naming:

Hold one $key until release it

Release one $key which is kept holding

Send specific key until needle with $tag is matched or $counter is 0. $tag can be string or ARRAYREF (['tag1', 'tag2']) Default counter is 20 steps, default timeout is 1s

Throws FailedNeedle exception if needle is not matched until $counter is 0.

send a string of characters, mapping them to appropriate key names as necessary

you can pass optional parameters with following keys:

max_interval (1-250) determines the typing speed, the lower the max_interval the slower the typing.

wait_screen_change if set, type only this many characters at a time wait_screen_change and wait for the screen to change between sets.

wait_still_screen if set, wait_still_screen returns true if screen is not changed for given $wait_still_screen seconds or false if the screen is not still for the given seconds within defined timeout after the whole string is typed. Default timeout is 30s, default stilltime is 0s.

similarity_level can be passed as argument for wrapped wait_still_screen calls.

secret (bool) suppresses logging of the actual string typed.

lf (bool) finishes the string with an additional line feed, for example to enter a command line.

A convenience wrapper around type_string, which doesn’t log the string.

Uses $testapi::password if no string is given.

You can pass the same optional parameters as for type_string function.

A convenience wrapper around type_string, that adds a linefeed to execute a command within a command line prompt.

You can pass the same optional parameters as for type_string function.

Move mouse pointer to given coordinates

Click mouse $button. Can be 'left' or 'right'. Set $hold_time to hold button for set time in seconds. Default hold time is 0.15s

Same as mouse_click only for double click.

Same as mouse_click only for triple click.

Hide mouse cursor by moving it out of screen area.

Click mouse $button, 'left' or 'right', at a given location, hold the button and drag the mouse to another location where the button is released. You can set the $startpoint and $endpoint by passing the name of the needle tag, i.e. the mouse drag happens between the two needle areas. Alternatively, you can set all the coordinates explicitly with $startx, $starty, $endx, and $endy. You can also set one point using a needle and another one using coordinates. If both the coordinates and the needle are provided, the coordinates will be used to set up the locations and the needle location will be overridden.

You need to do this in your distribution and not in tests. It will not trigger any action on the system under test, but only store the parameters.

The console parameters are console specific. Parameter persistent skips console reset and console is persistent during the test execution.

The implementation is distribution specific and not always available.

Example:

Select the named console for further testapi interaction (send_text, send_key, wait_screen_change, …​)

If this the first time, a test selects this console, the distribution will get a call into activate_console('root-console', $console_obj, @args) to make sure to actually log in root. For the backend it’s just a tty object (in this example) - so it will ensure the console is active, but to setup the root shell on this console, the distribution needs to run test code.

After the console selection the distribution callback $distri-`console_selected> is called with `@args.

Some consoles have special commands beyond type_string, assert_screen

Such commands can be accessed using this API.

console("bootloader"), console("errorlog"), …​ returns a proxy object for the specific console which can then be directly accessed.

This is also useful for typing/interacting 'in the background', without turning the video away from the currently selected console.

Note: assert_screen() and friends look at the currently selected console (select_console), no matter which console you send commands to here.

will make sure the next select_console will activate the console. This is important if you did something to the system that affects the console (e.g. trigger reboot).

Return the currently selected console, a call when no console is selected, will return undef.

Tells the backend to record a .wav file of the sound card.

Only supported by qemu backend.

Tells the backend to record a .wav file of the sound card and asserts if it matches expected audio. Comparison is performed after conversion to the image.

Only supported by QEMU backend.

Tells the backend to record a .wav file of the sound card and checks if it matches expected audio. Comparison is performed after conversion to the image.

Only supported by QEMU backend.

Trigger backend specific power action, can be 'on', 'off', 'acpi' or 'reset'

Periodically check backend for status until 'shutdown'. Does not initiate shutdown.

Returns true on success and false if $timeout timeout is hit. Default timeout is 60s.

Periodically check backend for status until 'shutdown'. Does not initiate shutdown.

Returns undef on success, marks the test as failed and throws exception if $timeout timeout is hit. Default timeout is 60s.

if backend supports it, eject the CD

Changes network device’s state akin to disconnecting the physical cable, default network is qanet0.

This method is fatal in case the network device doesn’t exist.

Saves the SUT memory state using $filename as base for the memory dump filename, the default will be the current test’s name.

This method must be called within a post_fail_hook.

Currently only qemu backend is supported.

Saves all of the SUT volumes using $filename as part of the final filename, the default will be the current test’s name.

Currently only qemu backend is supported.

If the backend supports it, freeze the virtual machine. This will allow the virtual machine to be paused/frozen within the test, it is recommended to call this within a post_fail_hook so that memory and disk dumps can be extracted without any risk of data changing, or in rare cases call it before the tests tests have already begun, to avoid unexpected behaviour.

Currently only qemu backend is supported.

If the backend supports it, resume the virtual machine. Call this method to start virtual machine CPU explicitly if DELAYED_START is set.

Currently only qemu backend is supported.

Upload log file from SUT (calls upload_logs internally). The uploaded file is then parsed as jUnit format and extra test results are created from it.

Upload log file from SUT (calls upload_logs internally). The uploaded file is then parsed as the format supplied, that can be understood by OpenQA::Parser and extra test results are created from it.

Write a diagnostic message to the logfile. In color, if possible.

Return VM’s host IP. In a kvm instance you reach the VM’s host under default 10.0.2.2

Optional named parameter inside_sut in $args will force using actual worker IP/hostname even on KVM guests if set to 0.

In case of non-qemu tries to return a sane default if the test variable WORKER_HOSTNAME was not specified.

returns the base URL to contact the local os-autoinst service

Optional $path argument is appended after base url.

Optional HASHREF $query is converted to URL query and appended after path.

Optional named parameter inside_sut in $args will force using actual worker IP/hostname even on KVM guests if set to 0.

Returns constructor URL. Can be used inline:

returns the URL to download data or asset file Special values REPO_\d and ASSET_\d points to the asset configured in the corresponding variable

Upload $file to OpenQA WebUI as a log file and return the uploaded file name. If failok is not set, a failed upload or timeout will cause the test to die. Failed uploads happen if the file does not exist or is over 20 GiB in size, so failok is useful when you just want to upload the file if it exists but not mind if it doesn’t. Default timeout is 90s. log_name parameter allow to control resulted job’s attachment name.

Uploads $file as asset to OpenQA WebUI

You can upload private assets only accessible by related jobs:

Or you can upload public assets that will have a fixed filename replacing previous assets - useful for external users:

If you just want to upload a file and verify that it was uploaded correctly on your own (e.g. in svirt console we don’t have a serial line and can’t rely on assert_script_run check), add an optional $nocheck parameter:

Helper function to create backward compatible function arguments when moving from positional arguments to named one.

A typical call would look like:

Helper function to alter the curl command to show progress meter. Progress meter is shown only when the server output is redirected. This works only when uploading where the output is not lately used.

A typical call would look like:

Function to query the backend if it has the known bug from https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/60566 which is that typing too fast into the here-document input can yield invalid script content. This function returns the value to be used by wait_still_screen before starting to write the script into the here document. =cut sub backend_get_wait_still_screen_on_here_doc_input () { state $ret; $ret = query_isotovideo('backend_get_wait_still_screen_on_here_doc_input', {}) unless defined($ret); return get_var(_WAIT_STILL_SCREEN_ON_HERE_DOC_INPUT ⇒ $ret); } 1;
