Hello,
I want to set up a multinode job containing an LXC device. Unfortunately I always get the following error:
Missing protocol 'lava-lxc' in ['lava-multinode']
My LXC device works with singlenode jobs. I used this example job for reference:
https://github.com/Linaro/lava-dispatcher/blob/release/lava_dispatcher/test…
I only changed "release" from "sid" to "stretch" and then this job works correctly.
For a minimal multinode job I added the "lava-multinode" protocol, defined a role and assigned this role to each action:
job_name: lxc-pipeline
timeouts:
job:
minutes: 15
action:
minutes: 5
priority: medium
visibility: public
protocols:
lava-multinode:

distribution: debian
release: stretch
mirror: http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/

actions:

minutes: 5
definitions:
- repository: git://git.linaro.org/qa/test-definitions.git

With this job definition the above error appears. Am I missing anything or is this a bug in LAVA?

Hello everyone,
My targets are available via ssh interface and I don't need to update them
(install kernel, rootfs, etc) before testing.
My test case is: copy test binary at target device, run the test and check
the result.
As a first step I want to check the ssh connection: log into the device and
check the promts.
My LAVA 2018.2 instance failed to check the connection with "KeyError:
'deployment_data'" traceback: https://pastebin.com/2rsgBvx3
Job definition: https://pastebin.com/GJymcx3z
device dictionary: https://pastebin.com/x08HgSqQ
Is it the LAVA bug or lack of my job definition and device dictionary?
Best Regards, Ivan Arishchenko
I am currently evaluating if LAVA is the right tool for testing our custom flavour of a Raspbian Linux distro. The DUT is going to be a Raspberry Pi3 and I was trying to set it up in a minimal way using another Raspbi3 as a Server & Dispatcher (although first it seemed to work fine, when I followed the LAVA documentation and added the stretch backports sources in the apt list, my whole system crashed because of the depedencies).
What is the best way to get a minimal setup running? I am also interested to know the hardware process (ideally everything we want to be automated). So, should the DUT be connected via a USB2serial cable?
https://goo.gl/D5ZwxU
Other than that should that be connected to an SD multiplexer that burns the resulting .img after Jenkins finishes checking and generating it?
Documentation is a bit tricky to go through as it covers many cases and there's not a simpler minimal tutorial. Also all the online blogs/posts seem to work for LAVA V1 only as a few things have changed.
So it will look something like this:
Linux .img (to be tested) -> SD Multiplexer(?) - DUT - USB2Serial -> LAVA Server & Dispatcher
|
LCD Screen
Are there anywhere some sample tests so I can get an idea of what I will be able to do? (Had already a look at the linaro .git but those seem 'too' basic; probably I've missed smth).
Thank you all for your help.
Thanks again, Neil.

I get your point and agree with you on that. So does this mean you would accept contributions for a new bootloader, even if it is a proprietary one?
However, for a quick check how LAVA works I was able to go the hacky way and abuse the uboot class to send commands to our own bootloader. This led me to further questions:
1. The TFTP deployment strategy does not seem to support deploying a rootfs. Is that correct? If yes, why?
2. Our bootloader supports download via HTTP as well, so actually we could get the files from the web to the device directly. The test system would not need to download any files then. LAVA does not seem to support such a scenario. All deployment strategies download the files first, before performing further steps.
How could I handle this case in LAVA? Obviously I could remove the deploy action from the job completely and handle everything in the boot command sequence. Still I would need some possibility to specify the URL of the image within the job, which the boot command sequence then should use. Is there a way to achieve this? I assume the correct way would be to implement a new deployment strategy for this, which does not do anything. However, this seems a bit weird to me. Is there another way? Or would the whole idea work against the general LAVA workflow?
3. As far as I understand, LAVA needs to apply an overlay tarball to the image before executing tests, which is usually performed directly on the image file before it is deployed to the target. This would not work in the case of (2). But I saw there is a boot action "transfer_overlay" to do this after the actual deployment. Is it correct, that I could use this action in such a case?

I finally tracked down what is going on here:
Here is the point of the problem while running test script:
Press SPACE to abort autoboot in 10 seconds
end: 2.4.2 bootloader-interrupt (duration 00:00:02) [common]
start: 2.4.3 bootloader-commands (timeout 00:01:58) [common]
bootloader-commands: Wait for prompt ['=>'] (timeout 00:01:58)
Script does detect "Press SPACE to abort autoboot in 10 seconds", and
issues a " ". Then it does NOT detect: Wait for prompt ['=>'].
I replaced old prompt ['U-Boot'] with ['=>'], but neither way it
detects U-Boot prompt.
Anyway, I do not understand the jinja2 command:
{% set bootloader_prompt = bootloader_prompt|default('U-Boot') %} ???
Hasn't => been always U-Boot prompt?
Thank you,
Zoran

Hello,
When attachments were deprecated with v1, that left a hole in how to
easily get test artifacts (e.g. results files, image files, large
logs, etc.) off the DUT and into LAVA results.
I'm aware of tools like Artifactorial[1] which seem to help getting
files off the DUT and into a web service, but I'm not entirely sure
how to add pointers/URLs for those artifacts into the LAVA output,
such that they would be included in the notify callbacks.
Are there examples someplace for how to include links to artifacts
pushed to Artifactorial in LAVA callbacks?
Thanks,
Kevin

We're starting to look into it.
We've only gotten about as far as creating a dockerfile (for sid) that
defines the installation process though.

Hi Magnus Olsson,
Have you experienced issues regarding CSRF token?
After migrating from LAVA 2016 to LAVA 2018, did your first login into your
server return the following :

We recently upgraded our master from an old 2016.11 to 2018.2. After about a week of fixing migration issues things are starting to work again. 2018.2 is so far a good release, the only open issue we have left is the broken csv export that breaks our tools for generating external reports (https://projects.linaro.org/browse/LAVA-1253)
