Description Jair Gonzalez 2017-03-21 23:11:01 UTC 
Add test suite to validate Refkit can be executed correctly on QEMU and it can be accessed with ssh.
Comment 1 Dmitry Rozhkov 2017-03-30 08:17:35 UTC 
I see this bug blocks now the bug 11068. Jair, I guess that all prerequisites have already made their way to the master branch of Refkit. Basically the tests should do

> bitbake refkit-image-common
> bitbake ovmf
> runqemu ovmf refkit-image-common wic slirp nographic serial

Then in a separate shell run

> ssh root@localhost -p 2222

Alternatively the "slirp" option could be omitted, then runqemu would use a TAP interface. But this approach requires root permissions and a properly configured DHCP-server listening on the temporary TAP interface.

Added PR 114 to the refkit github
Comment 3 Jair Gonzalez 2017-04-17 21:24:36 UTC 
After an agreement with the Refkit team, the progress on the minimal required sanity tests to release a feature will be tracked on the same bug issue used to track the feature's development. Analogous QA bugs like this one may be created if required, and will be used to track the development of more extensive test cases.

According to this, the dependence will be inverted in relation to the feature bug.
Comment 4 Humberto Ibarra 2017-05-23 22:05:41 UTC 
No more tests are planned for this at the moment aside from the ones already considered by the development team. Closing this for now.
