Hi Michael,
In the last 2 days I'm trying to write some test case definition files but I'm confused about the format. I have made some experiments and here is my observation:
I use Panda ES as an example, and the YAML file looks like this:
metadata: format: Lava-Test Test Definition 1.0 name: botao-panda-es-ubuntu-test
run: steps: - lava-test-case botao-panda-es-ubuntu-test-uname --shell echo "This is a test" || true - lava-test-case botao-panda-es-ubuntu-test-uname --shell uname -a true
the command above is not proper shell ... its bogus to type uname -a true on the command line ... not sure why you think that the documentation suggest doing that..
- lava-test-case botao-panda-es-ubuntu-test-uname --shell "ifconfig-a" || true
Then the second line will be failed to run by an index error:
- lava-test-case botao-panda-es-ubuntu-test-uname --shell uname -a true
The first and the third line can be executed successfully. The "|| true" will let the command line to return a "true" value whatever its status. But on the LAVA wikipage it says:
The second form is indicated by the –shell argument, for example:
run: steps: - "lava-test-case fail-test --shell false" - "lava-test-case pass-test --shell true"
those commands are fine and are proper shell commands... "uname -a true" however is not correct shell ...
Then if I write like the example shows, it will fail to run. So do we need to update that wiki example or is there something wrong in my understanding?
Thanks.
