2019-04-23test/py: pytest.mark.notbuildconfigspec()Heinrich Schuchardt
We already can let a Python test depend on a build option being set via @pytest.mark.buildconfigspec(). It may be necessary to let a test depend on a build option *not* being set. So let's introduce @pytest.mark.notbuildconfigspec for this purpose. Signed-off-by: Heinrich Schuchardt <xypron.glpk@gmx.de>
2018-10-08binman: Run tests concurrentlySimon Glass
At present the tests run one after the other using a single CPU. This is not very efficient. Bring in the concurrencytest module and run the tests concurrently, using one process for each CPU by default. A -P option allows this to be overridden, which is necessary for code-coverage to function correctly. This requires fixing a few tests which are currently not fully independent. At some point we might consider doing this across all pytests in U-Boot. There is a pytest version that supports specifying the number of processes to use, but it did not work for me.

2018-03-22test/py: README: add HOSTNAME to PYTHONPATHLiam Beguin
As opposed to PATH, HOSTNAME is not appended to PYTHONPATH automatically. Lets add it to the examples to make it more obvious to new users. Signed-off-by: Liam Beguin <liambeguin@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Stephen Warren <swarren@nvidia.com>

Some tests rely on external tools. Mention these in the test/py README. Signed-off-by: Stephen Warren <swarren@nvidia.com>
2016-04-11test/py: README: link to example hook scriptsStephen Warren
When implementing test/py hook scripts, it's helpful to read some working examples. Provide a link to some. The link was mentioned in the commit message which first added test/py, but not in any documentation file.

2016-01-20test/py: Implement pytest infrastructureStephen Warren
This tool aims to test U-Boot by executing U-Boot shell commands using the console interface. A single top-level script exists to execute or attach to the U-Boot console, run the entire script of tests against it, and summarize the results. Advantages of this approach are: - Testing is performed in the same way a user or script would interact with U-Boot; there can be no disconnect. - There is no need to write or embed test-related code into U-Boot itself. It is asserted that writing test-related code in Python is simpler and more flexible that writing it all in C. - It is reasonably simple to interact with U-Boot in this way. A few simple tests are provided as examples. Soon, we should convert as many as possible of the other tests in test/* and test/cmd_ut.c too. The hook scripts, relay control utilities, and udev rules I use for my own HW setup are published at https://github.com/swarren/uboot-test-hooks. See README.md for more details!
