Branched update tests are all failing because the baseurl in
fedora.repo is incorrect for Branched. This is a rather hacky
fix for this problem. It relies on the scheduler setting the
DEVELOPMENT variable when the update is for Branched (I named
the variable DEVELOPMENT rather than BRANCHED to be more
future-proof).
Alternative options I rejected were:
i) stick with MM links
ii) do something 'clever' to retrieve the URLs from MM
Rejected i) because the timing problem where the infra repo gets
updated before MM has the updated repodata checksums is just too
much of a problem; whenever that happens, dnf will refuse to use
the metadata from the infra repo and go pull it from an external
mirror, which can wind up timing out.
Rejected ii) because it seemed too fancy and not really any more
robust than just doing this and adapting it if Things Change In
Future (TM).
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.

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.
