Hey,
We're using lava to test multiple of our devices. While most tests are similar ("does the device still have a working ethernet connection"), some slightly differ. For example a device might have LEDs 1-3, another the LEDs 1-5.
Today I save multiple test shell definitions test1-device1.yaml, test1-device2.yaml, ..., which all just differ by providing "device1", "device2", ... in an argument to the actual test script, so the run: section looks like this:
run: steps: - cd ./testdir/ - ./run_test.py device1
I would like to get rid of the two, separate .yaml files and only have a `./run_test.py ${device}` or similar. Is there any way to provide a variable from the job definition to the test shell definition? Or are things like the device type set in the environment so I could access them?
Yes, use parameters. Example excerpt from job definition (test section):
- repository: http://github.com/linaro/test-definitions.git from: git path: automated/linux/network-basic/network-basic.yaml name: network-basic params: INTERFACE: "eth0" SKIP_INSTALL: true CURL: wget DHCLIENT: "udhcpc -i"
The yaml related to this test can be found here: https://github.com/Linaro/test-definitions/blob/master/automated/linux/netwo...

Thanks, that looks way to obvious for me to have missed it. Once you know it, you even find it in the reference: https://docs.lavasoftware.org/lava/actions-test.html?highlight=parameter#con...
Thanks again, Olli
