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"

So After "--shell", I add my command line "uname -a". then add "true" at the end. And in my case, "pass-test" is replaced to "botao-panda-es-ubuntu-test-uname". That's why I finally wrote command like this:

- lava-test-case botao-panda-es-ubuntu-test-uname --shell uname -a true

And it doesn't work.

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..

those commands are fine and are proper shell commands... "uname -a
true" however is not correct shell ...
