Currently, you have no easy way of running a specified set of oe-selftest at a forced build of the autobuilder. So you have to wait hours to see on-demand tests.
What are you trying to accomplish here? If you want to do a subset of the tests, if you can give me a list of those subsets (and the default) we can do a select box for them. We do not allow generally a field where you can just input <image> and bitbake will run it (there are security concerns in doing so).
What you describe is fine, a way of selecting one or more tests to be run (test granularity is better, could be grouped by modules). The tests might come as a dynamic list that you need to read for each of the builds you want to run into (listing via oe-selftest --list-tests or something along the params) A feature like this would make on-demand builds to be way faster than the added 3 to 5 hours oe-selftest imposes.
Well, it can't really be done as a dynamic list as the autobuilder has no knowledge as to what is in the codebase until Force Build is pressed and by that time, it's too late to tell it what to run.
Okay, understand that now. We could try to write a static list of tests now and it would still be useful in most of the cases. Though, the ideal would be that you can select what's available. Do you think we could achieve that at some point?
Probably not in the way you want it. I could make it so that we keep a matrix of branch/tests in the autobuilder code base, but that wouldn't be particularly useful I don't think. One way we could maybe do it is have an abstracted out set of tests that are static on the autobuilder, but change within oe?
That would be a good first approach at least, how would we specify the tests to run perhaps is the first question.
Due to limited resources, moving this to 2.3
Anibal, any further done on this area during M2? M2 is over so moving to M3.
Moving to 2.4 because is an enhancement.
Neverending moving? ;) Hope to see it implemented soon. https://www.premiumlinkgenerator.com
Hi guys, what's the status here? I'm waiting too. https://promocode.com.ph/
With the new AB, is this still an issue?
Complicated to add to AB and we don't really see the need.
