List of variables usable in tests
=================================
This list contains variables that are possible to set/redefine in WebUI and get their values in tests.
This document merges relevant variables from
[official documentation](https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst/blob/master/doc/backend_vars.asciidoc)
(backend variables), variables that control flow through `main.pm` (test variables) and variables that
are specified when ISO is posted into OpenQA (run variables).
Backend variables
-----------------
These variables control settings of underlying virtual machine where tests runs on. Some of them (`ARCH`, `QEMURAM`, ...) should be set per machine, others (`HDD_$i`, `HDDMODEL`, ...) should be set per test and some of them (`KEEPHDDS`, `MAKETESTSNAPSHOTS`, `SKIPTO`) should be set only during development and debugging.
| Variable | Values allowed | Default value | Explanation |
| -------- | :------------: | :-----------: | ----------- |
| `ARCH` | `x86_64`, `i686`, `aarch64`, ... | depends on tested medium | architecture of VM |
Run the install_default_update test on UEFI as well Obviously an installer image may work fine for a BIOS install but fail for a UEFI install, so we should test it both ways. This requires the invention of a new (terribly named, but I couldn't think of anything better...) variable to allow us to use the 'run test on machine A after test run on machine B' mechanism without just hardcoding '64bit' as the machine name in the START_AFTER setting (which would break if we ever wanted to run update tests on any *other* arch).

| `ARCH_BASE_MACHINE` | `uefi`, `64bit`, `ARM`, ... | depends on machine | 'machine' value to be used for tests where we might want to start after a test run on a different machine. For instance, we run tests that produce x86_64 ISOs on the '64bit' machine, so `ARCH_BASE_MACHINE` for the 'uefi' machine is set to '64bit', so that we can run UEFI install tests on the 'uefi' machine with an image generated by a test run on the '64bit' machine |

Test variables
--------------
These variables control flow through `main.pm` - by setting them, you can alter what parts will be loaded.
There are certain tests that conflict each other. Note that conflict is always mutual, but for simplification
purposes, only one side of this conflict is shown (that means, if it's shown that `A` conflicts `B`,
it also means that `B` conflicts `A` even if not shown in the table).
| Variable | Values allowed | Default value/behavior | Conflicts | Explanation |
| -------- | :------------: | ---------------------- | :-------: | ----------- |
| `LIVE` | boolean | not set | technically `PACKAGE_SET`, `KICKSTART`, `MIRRORLIST_GRAPHICAL`, `REPOSITORY_GRAPHICAL`, `REPOSITORY_VARIATION` | specify that the test is running on Live system - additional steps are required (starting Anaconda...) |
| `PACKAGE_SET` | string (`minimal`, `default`, ...) | `minimal`; `default` when `LIVE` is set | nothing | sets packageset to install - you have to add appropriate needles, see `tests/_software_selection.pm` |
enable ENTRYPOINT to be more than one test, ensure shutdown when on ARM This adds possiblity to specify more than one test in ENTRYPOINT variable - test names should be separated with spaces and loading is done as with POSTINSTALL. Add _console_shutdown test to ARM image deployment. Differential Revision: https://phab.qadevel.cloud.fedoraproject.org/D973

| `ENTRYPOINT` | filename | not set | N/A | set `ENTRYPOINT` to load specific test directly (bypass modular structure, mainly usable for testing). If you want to run more than one test, separate them with space. |

add ext3, btrfs and LVM thin tests, tweaks to custom methods Summary: This adds three new custom storage tests and some needles to support them, and tweaks the custom storage methods a bit to address some things that cropped up in writing the tests. A new method is added for changing the filesystem, as that's a distinct operation from changing the device type. This also restores the previous behaviour of select_disks() where it handled selecting custom partitioning when needed. Turns out it's pretty common to use regex'es in perl! Who'd'a thought. A corresponding commit to add the tests to openqa_fedora_tools is coming. There's no post-install step for the tests yet; I'll try and write those up and add them soon. Test Plan: Do a full run, including the new tests, on Alpha RC2 and check all are scheduled correctly and run correctly. The LVM thinp test is expected to fail as it catches a genuine bug.

Also, if value starts with `custom_`, the `select_disks()` method will check the custom partitioning box |

More tweaking for this damn no root password spoke situation Previous approach wouldn't work for tests that run after the install test...let's just set a password from a chroot after install completes. Don't really like this as it changes the 'real' install process a bit, but it's the least invasive short term fix at least. We can maybe do something more sudo-y later with a bit more thought.

rename BOOT_UPDATES_IMG_URL to TEST_UPDATES, add GRUBADD Summary: BOOT_UPDATES_IMG_URL is a pretty misleading name - it used to be the actual URL, but now it's simply a boolean that decides whether we look for the effect of the openQA updates image or not. TEST_UPDATES seems clearer. GRUBADD does the same thing as GRUB, on top of it. The point of this is so we can add an option to the scheduler CLI that lets you say 'run the normal tests, but with this updates image' - so we can easily (albeit manually triggered) check the impact of some anaconda change that needs testing. It should never be set in the templates or the tests, it's there strictly for the scheduler (whether that's fedora_openqa_schedule or literally a person calling `client isos post`) to use as a kind of override. The tests that test updates image loading will probably fail when doing this, but all other tests should work as intended, including ones that specify GRUB, becase the extra params will just get added on top. That's why I invented a new var instead of just letting the scheduler override GRUB's value when POST ing. Test Plan: Check the rename didn't break anything (updates tests still work). Run tests with GRUBADD param, make sure value is correctly appended to cmdline both when GRUB is also specified and when it is not.

This is never set by tests; instead it's provided as a way to e.g. run the normal tests with an `updates.img` to test some anaconda change (the scheduler CLI can help you use this feature) |
add firewall kickstart tests (disabled and configured) Summary: these together test QA:Testcase_kickstart_firewall from the Server matrix. I'll have to come up with some kinda way to handle reporting that, might be tricky. Couple of tweaks to overall test flow: tests can now specify a POSTINSTALL variable which will load a post-install test following a naming convention, and tests can specify USER_LOGIN as 'false' to disable the 'log in as a user' step entirely. We could easily adjust the kickstarts to create a user so the test could log in as one, but it seems like an unnecessary step and I liked the idea of allowing the user login to be skipped. Test Plan: Schedule 'universal' tests, check the new tests run and pass or fail as they should, check no other test is broken by the logic flow changes.

Create a test suite for Evince. This PR fixes issue #188. It adds a test suite to test basic functionality of Evince and brings the following features: * test scripts for various Evince functions. * needles to support the Evince test scripts * new template variables `TESTPATH` and `POSTINSTALL_LOAD_ALL` (see below) * new logic in `main.py` (see below) The new variables and the new logic make it easier to create test suites for post-installation tests. If TESTPATH is used, OpenQA will take all tests mentioned in POSTINSTALL from that specified TESTPATH. If both TESTPATH and POSTINSTALL_LOAD_ALL are used, then OpenQA will run all tests it can find at the TESTPATH location. If POSTINSTALL and POSTINSTALL_LOAD_ALL are set simultaneously, then only POSTINSTALL will be taken into account and OpenQA will only load tests mentioned there.

Add support for testing updates Summary: This adds an entirely new workflow for testing distribution updates. The `ADVISORY` variable is introduced: when set, `main.pm` will load an early post-install test that sets up a repository containing the packages from the specified update, runs `dnf -y update`, and reboots. A new templates file is added, `templates-updates`, which adds two new flavors called `updates-server` and `updates-workstation`, each containing job templates for appropriate post-install tests. Scheduler is expected to post `ADVISORY=(update ID) HDD_1=(base image) FLAVOR=updates-(server|workstation)`, where (base image) is one of the stable release base disk images produced by `createhdds` and usually used for upgrade testing. This will result in the appropriate job templates being loaded. We rejig postinstall test loading and static network config a bit so that this works for both the 'compose' and 'updates' test flows: we have to ensure we bring up networking for the tap tests before we try and install the updates, but still allow later adjustment of the configuration. We take advantage of the openQA feature that was added a few months back to run the same module multiple times, so the `_advisory_update` module can reboot after installing the updates and the modules that take care of bootloader, encryption and login get run again. This looks slightly wacky in the web UI, though - it doesn't show the later runs of each module. We also use the recently added feature to specify `+HDD_1` in the test suites which use a disk image uploaded by an earlier post-install test, so the test suite value will take priority over the value POSTed by the scheduler for those tests, and we will use the uploaded disk image (and not the clean base image POSTed by the scheduler) for those tests. My intent here is to enhance the scheduler, adding a consumer which listens out for critpath updates, and runs this test flow for each one, then reports the results to ResultsDB where Bodhi could query and display them. We could also add a list of other packages to have one or both sets of update tests run on it, I guess. Test Plan: Try a post something like: HDD_1=disk_f25_server_3_x86_64.img DISTRI=fedora VERSION=25 FLAVOR=updates-server ARCH=x86_64 BUILD=FEDORA-2017-376ae2b92c ADVISORY=FEDORA-2017-376ae2b92c CURRREL=25 PREVREL=24 Pick an appropriate `ADVISORY` (ideally, one containing some packages which might actually be involved in the tests), and matching `FLAVOR` and `HDD_1`. The appropriate tests should run, a repo with the update packages should be created and enabled (and dnf update run), and the tests should work properly. Also test a regular compose run to make sure I didn't break anything.

Fix French install test on aarch64 by skipping `uefi_postinstall` The French install/boot test fails on aarch64 due to a bit of an ordering issue: https://openqa.stg.fedoraproject.org/tests/665124 we run `uefi_postinstall`, which does `loadkeys us`, before we run `_console_login`, which still expects the French layout, so it breaks. The safest way to solve this I think is to add a new variable that lets us skip `uefi_postinstall` - I don't want to change the ordering so we load `uefi_postinstall` after we read `POSTINSTALL` in case that breaks things somewhere else.

Add support for testing updates Summary: This adds an entirely new workflow for testing distribution updates. The `ADVISORY` variable is introduced: when set, `main.pm` will load an early post-install test that sets up a repository containing the packages from the specified update, runs `dnf -y update`, and reboots. A new templates file is added, `templates-updates`, which adds two new flavors called `updates-server` and `updates-workstation`, each containing job templates for appropriate post-install tests. Scheduler is expected to post `ADVISORY=(update ID) HDD_1=(base image) FLAVOR=updates-(server|workstation)`, where (base image) is one of the stable release base disk images produced by `createhdds` and usually used for upgrade testing. This will result in the appropriate job templates being loaded. We rejig postinstall test loading and static network config a bit so that this works for both the 'compose' and 'updates' test flows: we have to ensure we bring up networking for the tap tests before we try and install the updates, but still allow later adjustment of the configuration. We take advantage of the openQA feature that was added a few months back to run the same module multiple times, so the `_advisory_update` module can reboot after installing the updates and the modules that take care of bootloader, encryption and login get run again. This looks slightly wacky in the web UI, though - it doesn't show the later runs of each module. We also use the recently added feature to specify `+HDD_1` in the test suites which use a disk image uploaded by an earlier post-install test, so the test suite value will take priority over the value POSTed by the scheduler for those tests, and we will use the uploaded disk image (and not the clean base image POSTed by the scheduler) for those tests. My intent here is to enhance the scheduler, adding a consumer which listens out for critpath updates, and runs this test flow for each one, then reports the results to ResultsDB where Bodhi could query and display them. We could also add a list of other packages to have one or both sets of update tests run on it, I guess. Test Plan: Try a post something like: HDD_1=disk_f25_server_3_x86_64.img DISTRI=fedora VERSION=25 FLAVOR=updates-server ARCH=x86_64 BUILD=FEDORA-2017-376ae2b92c ADVISORY=FEDORA-2017-376ae2b92c CURRREL=25 PREVREL=24 Pick an appropriate `ADVISORY` (ideally, one containing some packages which might actually be involved in the tests), and matching `FLAVOR` and `HDD_1`. The appropriate tests should run, a repo with the update packages should be created and enabled (and dnf update run), and the tests should work properly. Also test a regular compose run to make sure I didn't break anything.

Handle running update tests on Koji tasks We quite often want to run the update tests on a Koji task (not a Bodhi update) for some reason - usually to test a potential fix for an issue, or at a maintainer's request to test a change before it is merged upstream and officially sent out as an update. Up till now I've always hacked up utils.pm on the staging server by hand to do this, which is horrible. Together with a commit to fedora_openqa, this should allow us to do it in a nice, sane way via the CLI. It's mostly just tweaking the "updates" repo setup in utils.pm as you'd expect, but there's a bit of subtlety to it because of the installer tests that use %ADVISORY% as a variable substitution in the disk image name; you can't do something like `%ADVISORY or KOJITASK%`, sadly, so I had to have almost-redundant variables ADVISORY, KOJITASK and ADVISORY_OR_TASK (we could kinda just live with ADVISORY_OR_TASK except I didn't want to drop ADVISORY as it's an unnecessary change from previous behavior).

Pungi 4 conversion: handle Pungi-derived BUILD and FLAVOR With the arrival of Pungi 4, the scheduler is no longer using fedfind-provided BUILD and FLAVOR values, but ones derived from Pungi properties. BUILD is now simply the Pungi compose_id. FLAVOR is produced by joining the Pungi variant, type, and format with '-' characters as the separators. Pungi, unfortunately, does not treat 'Rawhide' as a release, it synthesizes a release number for Rawhide composes and places that in the compose ID. To cope with that, for now, the scheduler will set RAWHIDE to '1' if the compose is a Rawhide one. As we have to adapt all places where we parse the release in any case, this commit consolidates them into a fedorabase subroutine. For the one place where we also used to parse the 'milestone' from fedfind, there is a placeholder get_milestone subroutine which currently returns an empty string, as I don't yet have a good handle on how to draw the kinds of distinctions fedfind mapped to 'milestone' from Pungi metadata.

| `FLAVOR` | indicates what type of distribution is used. Three Pungi properties, joined with `-`: `variant`, `type`, and `format`. e.g.: `Server-dvd-iso`. Special value `universal` is used to schedule the group of tests that should be run once each per arch per compose, against the 'best' available ISO |

Revise release variable handling, prerelease checks, os-release I started out trying to fix os-release for the recent change to add "Prerelease" tags to the VERSION and PRETTY_NAME fields, then things spiralled. It got me thinking about the awkward DEVELOPMENT variable we use, so I decided to get rid of it and refactor the few things that use it. I refactored the anaconda prerelease tag check, and wrote a new giant comment that gives details about exactly how anaconda decides whether to show those tags, to give context to our choices about when to expect them. This check now uses a new LABEL variable the scheduler now sets. I also wound up creating new UP1REL and UP2REL vars to define the 'source' release for upgrade tests, separate from CURRREL and PREVREL, which are now never lies - they really are the current stable and previous stable release, even for update upgrade tests.
