This reverts commit 1bff6fe17c, reversing
changes made to 2995fa48cb.
There’s presumably nothing wrong with this PR, except that it
conflicts with reverting #96254 which broke several tests (#96699).

With the Perl driver, machine.sleep(N) was doing a sleep on the guest
machine instead of the host machine. The new Python test driver however
uses time.sleep(), which instead sleeps on the host.
While this shouldn't make a difference most of the time, it *does*
however make a huge difference if the test machine is loaded and you're
sleeping for a minimum duration of eg. an animation.
I stumbled on this while porting most of all my tests to the new Python
test driver and particularily my video game tests failed on a fairly
loaded machine, whereas they don't with the Perl test driver.
Switching the sleep() method to sleep on the guest instead of the host
fixes this.

Keeping the VM state test across several run sometimes lead to subtle
and hard to spot errors in practice. We delete the VM state which
contains (among other things) the qcow volume.
We also introduce a -K (--keep-vm-state) flag making VM state to
persist after the test run. This flag makes test-driver.py to match
its previous behaviour.
xchg is advertised as a bidirectional exchange dir, but file content
transfer from host to VM fails due to caching:
If a file is read in the VM and then modified on the host, subsequent
re-reads in the VM can yield old, cached data.
This is caused by the use of 9p's cache=loose mode that is explicitly
meant for read-only mounts.
9p doesn't provide any suitable cache modes, so fix this by disabling
caching.
Also, remove a now unnecessary sync in the test driver.
These syncs have the goal to transfer host filesystem changes to the VM,
but they have no effect because 1) syncing in the VM can't possibly pull
in host data and 2) 9p is accessing the host filesystem on the cached
layer anyways, so even syncing on the host would have no effect in the
VM.
The test harness provides the commands it wishes to run in Bourne
syntax. This fails if the user uses a different shell. For example,
with fish:
machine.wait_for_unit("graphical-session.target", "alice")
machine # fish: Unsupported use of '='. To run '-u`' with a modified environment, please use 'env XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/`id -u`…'
machine # XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/`id -u` systemctl --user --no-pager show "graphical-session.target"
machine # ^
machine # [ 16.329957] su[1077]: pam_unix(su:session): session closed for user alice
error: retrieving systemctl info for unit "graphical-session.target" under user "alice" failed with exit code 127
This completes the removal of the nested log feature, which previously
got removed from Nix, Hydra, stdenv and GNU Make. In particular, this
means that the output of VM builds no longer contains a copy of
jQuery.
If a program (e.g. nixos-install) writes more than 1000 lines to
stderr during execute(), then process_serial_output() deadlocks
waiting for the queue to be processed. So use an unbounded queue
instead.
We should probably get rid of the structured log output (log.xml),
since then we don't need the log queue anymore.
The docstring says it uses a directory shared among all vms, although
that doesn't seem necessary for the functionality. However, it does need
to be consistent between the guest and host.
The codec format 'unicode_escape' was introduced in 52ee102 to handle
undecodable bytes in boot menus.
This made the problem worse as unicode chars outside of iso-8859-1
produce garbled output and valid utf-8 strings (such as "\x" ) trigger
decoding errors.
Fix this by using the default 'utf-8' codec and by explicitly ignoring
decoding errors.
This changes the python test driver to match the behavior of the perl
test driver. I.e. the directory mounted into /tmp/shared should be the
same for all machines.
This probably fixes many tests, but I found this while investigating
failures in nixos/tests/ceph-multi-node.nix.
we previously immediately returned the first commands output, and didn't
execute any of the other commands.
Now, return the last commands output.
This should be documented in the method docstring.
Condition seems to be inverted. Crash and shutdown only make sense, when
the machine is booted; i.e. we return immediately otherwise.
In the Perl test driver this is:
return unless $self->{booted};
When IPXE tests were added, an option was added for configuring only
the frontend, and the backend configuration was dropped entirely. This
caused most installer tests to fail.
See #49441 for an earlier attempt, which was subsequently reverted. I am
assuming that doubling the time will be sufficient if the machine is
overloaded since so many of the tests already pass at 5 minutes, while
still not holding back failures for needlessly long.
The ability to specify "-drive if=scsi" has been removed in QEMU version
2.12 (introduced in 3e3b39f173).
Quote from https://wiki.qemu.org/ChangeLog/2.12#Incompatible_changes:
> The deprecated way of configuring SCSI devices with "-drive if=scsi"
> on x86 has been removed. Use an appropriate SCSI controller together
> "-device scsi-hd" or "-device scsi-cd" and a corresponding "-blockdev"

So whenever the diskInterface is "scsi" we use the new way to specify
the drive and fall back to the deprecated way for the time being. The
reason why I'm not using the new way for "virtio" and "ide" as well is
because there is no simple generic way anymore to specify these.
This also turns the type of the virtualisation.qemu.diskInterface option
to be an enum, so the user knows which values are allowed but we can
also make sure the right value is provided to prevent typos.
I've tested this against a few non-disk-related NixOS VM tests but also
the installer.grub1 test (because it uses "ide" as its drive interface),
the installer.simple test (just to be sure it still works with
"virtio") and all the tests in nixos/tests/boot.nix.
In order to be able to run the grub1 test I had to go back to
8b1cf100cd (which is a known commit where
that test still works) and apply the QEMU update and this very commit,
because right now the test is broken.
Apart from the tests here in nixpkgs, I also ran another[1] test in
another repository which uses the "scsi" disk interface as well (in
comparison to most of the installer tests, this one actually failed
prior to this commit).
All of them now succeed.

It is quite complicated to test services using the test-driver when
declaring user services with `systemd.user.services` such as many
X11-based services like `xautolock.service`.
This change adds an optional `$user` parameter to each systemd-related
function in the test-driver and runs `systemctl --user` commands using
`su -l $user -c ...` and sets the `XDG_RUNTIME_DIR` variable
accordingly and a new function named `systemctl` which is able to run a
systemd command with or without a specified user.
The change can be confirmed with a simple VM declaration like this:
```
import ./nixos/tests/make-test.nix ({ pkgs, lib }:
with lib;
{
name = "systemd-user-test";
nodes.machine = {
imports = [ ./nixos/tests/common/user-account.nix ];
services.xserver.enable = true;
services.xserver.displayManager.auto.enable = true;
services.xserver.displayManager.auto.user = "bob";
services.xserver.xautolock.enable = true;
};
testScript = ''
$machine->start;
$machine->waitForX;
$machine->waitForUnit("xautolock.service", "bob");
$machine->stopJob("xautolock.service", "bob");
$machine->startJob("xautolock.service", "bob");
$machine->systemctl("list-jobs --no-pager", "bob");
$machine->systemctl("show 'xautolock.service' --no-pager", "bob");
'';
})
```

to help debug the problem. Notice the "logine" typo in my check.
First of all, we're now using ImageMagick to improve the screenshot so
that Tesseract has an esier time to recognize the text. The resulting
image of this post-processing is a scaled up black-and-white version
with the backgrounds almost entirely removed and the text edges a bit
blurred, so the screen shots now more or less resemble an image from a
scanner rather. This is what Tesseract is trained for by default.
As mentioned in the previous commit we now also use Tesseract 4, which
further improves the quality of text recognition.
I've spent countless hours just to test different postprocessing
variants and testing what works best for our tests and this is the one
that worked best so far. It's certainly not perfect and I'd like to
avoid the scaling step but we're way better off than before.
In addition to this, the OCR process is now done without an intermediate
file, solely using pipes.
I've tested this using the following VM tests which have OCR enabled:
* nixos/tests/chromium.nix -A stable
* nixos/tests/emacs-daemon.nix
* nixos/tests/installer.nix -A luksroot
* nixos/tests/lightdm.nix
* nixos/tests/plasma5.nix
* nixos/tests/sddm.nix
All of the tests still succeed and comparing some of the recognition
results to the earlier results it now also detects a lot more text than
before this commit.

Regression introduced by d84741a4bf.
The mentioned commit actually is a good thing, because we now get the
output from the X session.
Unfortunately, for the i3wm test, the i3-config-wizard prints out the
raw keyboard symbols directly coming from xcb, so the output isn't
necessarily proper UTF-8.
As the XML::Writer already expects valid UTF-8 input, we assume that
everything that comes into sanitise() will be UTF-8 from the start. So
we just decode() it using FB_DEFAULT as the check argument so that
every invalid character is replaced by the unicode replacement
character:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specials_(Unicode_block)#Replacement_character
We simply re-oncode it again afterwards and return it, so we should
always get out valid UTF-8 in the log XML.
For more information about FB_DEFAULT and FB_CROAK, have a look at:

By default this is now enabled, and it has to be explicitely enabled
using "enableOCR = true". If it is set to false, any usage of
getScreenText or waitForText will fail with an error suggesting to pass
enableOCR.
This should get rid of the rather large dependency on tesseract which
we don't need for most tests.
Note, that I'm using system("type -P") here to check whether tesseract
is in PATH. I know it's a bashism but we already have other bashisms
within the test scripts and we also run it with bash, so IMHO it's not a
problem here.

As promised in the previous commit, this can be used similarly to
$machine->waitForWindow, where you supply a regular expression and it's
retrying OCR until the regexp matches.

Basically, this creates a screenshot and throws tesseract at it to
recognize the characters from the screenshot. In order to produce a
result that is well enough, we're using lanczos scaling and scale the
image up to 400% of its original size.
This provides the base functionality for a new Machine method which will
be called waitForText. I originally had that idea long ago when writing
the VM tests for VirtualBox and Chromium, but thought it would be
disproportionate to the case.
The downside however is that VM tests now depend on tesseract, but given
the average runtime of our tests it really shouldn't have a too big
impact and it's only a runtime dependency after all.
Another issue is that the OCR process takes quite some time to finish,
but IMHO it's better (as in more deterministic) than to rely on sleep().

The current way test reports get jquery,
src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js"
only works when getting reports over http:// or https://, not file://.
Change it so that it works for all protocols by using a local copy of
jquery.
This fixes the issue where locally created and browsed test reports
cannot be navigated properly; clicking the '+' symbol to expand
sub-sections doesn't work.
This reverts commit 4e6eae45ee. It
breaks running the test driver interactively (in that it causes all
VMs to be started immediately, which is not always what you wnat).
