Description Yi Zhao 2014-02-26 07:06:33 UTC

Currently we only can run oe-selftest for an arch defined in conf/local.conf. We can add an option for oe-selftest to choose a random arch or all arch.

For example:
./scripts/oe-selftest --arch=random   # this will choose a random arch to test
./scripts/oe-selftest --arch=all      # this will run the test on all of the archs.

oe-selftest now has option parsing features; we now only need implement the MACHINE randomisation.

Moving to 1.8 and assigning to Costin.

Hi,

Added warning messages to tests that override MACHINE set by --arch option.
Also noted that not all oe-selftest test cases can run on all architectures (eg. wic)

Thanks,

Hi,

Updated the patches according to RP, Ross feedback.

I renamed the --arch option to --machine.

Usage:
oe-selftest --run-tests signing --machine random
oe-selftest --run-tests signing --machine all
oe-selftest --run-all-tests --machine random

Thanks,
--Daniel
