write a new testcase
=====================
A TC is written in python, so you can use python as usual. For accessing
the boards console, use functions from the tbotlib, therefore
First import the tbotlib with the line:
from tbotlib import tbot
If your TC uses variables, please add a line which adds them to
the log file (for debugging purposes):
logging.info("args: %s ...", tb.varname, ...)
Say tbot, for which board state your TC is valid with:
tb.set_board_state("u-boot")
Then you are ready ... and you can use the tbotlib funtions
for writting/reading to the boards console.
Big fat warning:
A TC must worry about to end only if a board has finished the shell
command!
Not following this rule, will end in unpredictable behaviour.
(hopefully) useful tbotlib functions
====================================
- set the board state, you want to test
tb.set_board_state(state)
states are: "u-boot" or "linux"
If tbot could not set the board state, tbot ends with failure.
- write a command to the boards console:
tb.eof_write_con(command):
write the command to the boards console. If this
fails, tbot ends with failure
- write a command to boards console and wait for prompt:
tb.eof_write_cmd(fd, command):
fd: filedescriptor which is used, use tb.channel_con for boards console
command: command which is written to fd
Wait endless for board prompt
- write a list of commands to boards console:
tb.eof_write_cmd_list(fd, cmdlist):
fd: filedescriptor which is used, use tb.channel_con for boards console
cmdlist: python list of commandstrings which is written to fd
- wait for boards prompt:
tb.eof_read_end_state_con(retry):
retry: deprecated, not used anymore, cleanup needed here...
tbot waits endless for the boards prompt
- write a command, wait for prompt and check, if a string is read
tb.write_cmd_check(fd, cmd, string):
fd: filedescriptor which is used, use tb.channel_con for boards console
cmd: command, which is send to fd
string: string which should be read from fd
return value:
True, if string is read and tbot got back boards prompt
False, else
tb.eof_write_cmd_check(fd, cmd, string):
same as tb.write_cmd_check(fd, cmd, string) except, that tbot
ends immediately with Failure, if string is not read.
- read until prompt and search strings:
tb.readline_and_search_strings(fd, strings):
fd: filedescriptor which is used, use tb.channel_con for boards console
strings: python list of strings, which can be read
If one of this strings is read, this function return the index, which
string is read. This function shoud be called in a while loop,
until this function returns 'prompt'
- read a line from filedescriptor:
not recommended to use, as the TC must check, if tprompt is read for every
readen line. Also TC must ensure, that it ends only, if prompt is read.
tb.read_line(fd, retry)
fd: filedescriptor which is used, use tb.channel_con for boards console
retry: retry of trying to reead a line
return values:
True, if a line is read. Readen line in tb.buf[fd]
False, if something read, but not a complete line
None, if nothing is read
check if string contains prompt with:
tb.is_end_fd(fd, string)
fd: filedescriptor which is used, use tb.channel_con for boards console
string: buffer, in which a prompt gets searched.
- calling other TC:
eof_call_tc(name):
call another TC from "src/tc"
if the called TC fails with failure, tbot ends with failure
call_tc(name):
call another TC from "src/tc"
if the TC which call_tc calls fails, call_tc() returns False, else True
There are more functions, but for writting TC this should be enough. But
its software, so new useful functions can always pop up.
