From 636f38d83a7e0e6ca076ae65e086c800337fb3a3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Warren Date: Fri, 22 Jan 2016 12:30:08 -0700 Subject: test/py: move U-Boot respawn trigger to the test core Prior to this change, U-Boot was lazilly (re-)spawned if/when a test attempted to interact with it, and no active connection existed. This approach was simple, yet had the disadvantage that U-Boot might be spawned in the middle of a test function, e.g. after the test had already performed actions such as creating data files, etc. In that case, this could cause the log to contain the sequence (1) some test logs, (2) U-Boot's boot process, (3) the rest of that test's logs. This isn't optimally readable. This issue will affect the upcoming DFU and enhanced UMS tests. This change converts u_boot_console to be a function-scoped fixture, so that pytest attempts to re-create the object for each test invocation. This allows the fixture factory function to ensure that U-Boot is spawned prior to every test. In practice, the same object is returned each time so there is essentially no additional overhead due to this change. This allows us to remove: - The explicit ensure_spawned() call from test_sleep, since the core now ensures that the spawn happens before the test code is executed. - The laxy calls to ensure_spawned() in the u_boot_console_* implementations. The one downside is that test_env's "state_ttest_env" fixture must be converted to a function-scoped fixture too, since a module-scoped fixture cannot use a function-scoped fixture. To avoid overhead, we use the same trick of returning the same object each time.
