[Lava-users] running commands locally from a Lava job

Hi Lava users,

Is it possible to run commands inside a lava job test-section, locally, from a Lava Job? Ex: cd /media/sh_shared_folders docker build -t tradefed .

We have the following setup:

* A machine with Linux Ubuntu; * an Oracle Virtual Box VM on the machine with a Xubuntu distro image * inside the VM we have created 3 Docker containers:

* one with the Jenkins * second one with Lava * third is created for the purpose of running Google TradeFederation against the Android device

(The AOSP source tree is available to the VM via shared_folders and the docker container has also access to it. (via docker run -v dir_host:dir_container) )

What we what to achieve is to have 2 jobs in Lava :

* one for building the Docker image for the purpose of building TradeFederation inside Ex. Running these commande locally:

source ./build/make/envsetup.sh lunch <device-target> make tradefed-all -j8

* second using the above image, instantiate, create a container which should run TradeFederation against the android device connected to the machine

What I need is to be able to run commands locally inside the VM (on Xubuntu distro) from a Lava job. For these we have to somehow not send the command to qemu but run them locally. Is this possible? If yes, how can we achieve this?
