====== Daniel Verkamp: Automated regression testing ====== ===== Journal Week 9 ===== ==== Monday, July 20 ==== Implemented configuration file loading for Test::Machine, as discussed with Michael. Configuration file syntax: key = value # comment Trailing comments on ''key = value'' lines are currently not supported to allow for arbitrary value content. Leading and trailing whitespace on ''key'' and ''value'' is trimmed. Usage example: use Test::Machine; my $machine = Test::Machine->load ( "config" ); Current configuration options supported: * ''type'': currently only ''QEmu'' * ''hdd''/''fdd''/''cdrom'' followed by index (ex ''hdd0''): value is filename (ex ''server.hd'') * ''nic'': followed by index, period, and sub-option (ex ''nic0.type''); suboptions are those supported by given machine type * ''snapshot'': snapshot filename to load See commit in [[http://git.etherboot.org/?p=people/dverkamp/gpxe.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/testsuite|git]]. ==== Tuesday, July 21 ==== In preparation for console read/write support in the QEMU driver, I switched the QEMU monitor interface over from using STDIN/STDOUT to a PTY. This will allow ''-curses'' to use the usual handles while the monitor is also in use. [[http://git.etherboot.org/?p=people/dverkamp/gpxe.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/testsuite|git]]
