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 |
| `BIOS` | filename | `ovmf-x86_64-ms.bin` for `x86_64` UEFI, not set otherwise | set different BIOS |
| `BOOTFROM` | characters (see man qemu, `-boot order=` option) | not set | boot from different medium than CD |
| `CDMODEL` | see `qemu-kvm -device help` | not set/Qemu default | type of device for CD |

| `KEEPHDDS` | boolean | `false`/not set | don't delete HDD after test finishes |
| `LAPTOP` | boolean or filename | `false`/not set | if `true`, Dell E6330 DMI is used; if set to filename, that file is used for DMI |
| `MAKETESTSNAPSHOTS` | boolean | `false`/not set | save snapshot for each test |
| `NOVIDEO` | boolean | `false`/not set | don't create video output if set |
| `NUMDISKS` | integer | 1 | number of disks to be created and attached to VM |
Adds variable PART_TABLE_TYPE to machines PART_TABLE_TYPE variable says which type of partition table type should be on attached HDDs. Some tests with uefi have to use disks with gpt. Tests are amended to use right disks. Differential Revision: https://phab.qadevel.cloud.fedoraproject.org/D623

| `QEMU` | filename, path to Qemu binary | not set | filename of Qemu binary |
| `QEMUCPU` | see `qemu-kvm -cpu help` | not set | CPU to emulate |
| `QEMUCPUS` | integer | 1 | number of processor cores to use for Qemu |
| `QEMURAM` | integer | 1024 | size of RAM to use (in MiB) |
| `QEMUTHREADS` | integer | 0 | number of CPU threads to use for Qemu |

| `QEMU_COMPRESS_QCOW2` | boolean | `false`/not set | compress qcow2 images |
| `SKIPTO` | name of snapshot | not set | restore VM from given snapshot - better used with `MAKETESTSNAPSHOTS` |
| `UEFI` | boolean | `false`/not set | whether to use UEFI (UEFI BIOS files should be installed) |
| `UEFI_BIOS` | filename | `false`/not set, `ovmf-x86_64-ms.bin` when `UEFI` is set | filename of UEFI BIOS |

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` |
| `ENTRYPOINT` | filename | not set | N/A | set `ENTRYPOINT` to load specific test directly (bypass modular structure, mainly usable for testing) |
| `UPGRADE` | string (`minimal`, `desktop`, `encrypted`, ...) | not set | all except of `LIVE` and `USER_PASSWORD` | when set, do an upgrade test of specified type |
| `KICKSTART` | boolean | `false`/not set | all | when specified, do an kickstart installation (you should use `GRUB` variable to specify where kickstart file resides) |
| `MIRRORLIST_GRAPHICAL` | boolean | `false`/not set | `REPOSITORY_GRAPHICAL` | sets installation source to mirrorlist |
| `REPOSITORY_GRAPHICAL` | url to repository (without arch and `/os`, for example `http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development`) | not set | `MIRRORLIST_GRAPHICAL` | sets installation source to repository url in Anaconda |
| `REPOSITORY_VARIATION` | url to repository (without arch and `/os`, for example `http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development`) | not set | nothing | sets installation source to repository url in GRUB |
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 |

| `ENCRYPT_PASSWORD` | string | not set | nothing | if set, encrypt disk with given password |
| `DESKTOP` | boolean | `false`/not set | nothing | set to indicate that Fedora is running with GUI (so for example OpenQA should expect graphical login screen) |
| `ROOT_PASSWORD` | string | `weakpassword` | nothing | root password is set to this value |
| `GRUB` | string | not set | nothing | when set, append this string to kernel line in GRUB |
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.

| `GRUBADD` | string | not set | nothing | when set, append this string to kernel line in GRUB, after the `GRUB` string if that one is set too. 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.

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.
