Even on the slowest of CI systems a normal VM start does not seem to take more than 1 minute. Instead we seem to have flakes which cause our command to hang on startup. In that case we thought waiting longer might help but instead it just wastes 10 minutes. Se the default command timeout to 3 minutes which should be plenty even on the slowest of CI systems. Anything above will likely never finish and we can just abort the test as failed. Signed-off-by: Paul Holzinger <pholzing@redhat.com>
Running the machine tests
This document is a quick how-to run machine tests. Not all dependencies, like
gvproxy are documented. You must install gvproxy in all cases described
below.
General notes
Environment must be clean
You must not have any machines defined before running tests. Consider running
podman machine reset prior to running tests.
Scoping tests
You can scope tests in the machine suite by adding various incantations of
FOCUS=. For example, add FOCUS_FILE=basic_test.go to only run basic test. Or
add FOCUS="simple init with start" to only run one test case. For windows, the
syntax differs slightly. In windows, executing something like following achieves
the same result:
./winmake localmachine "basic_test.go start_test.go"
To focus on one specific test on windows, run ginkgo manually:
$remotetags = "remote exclude_graphdriver_btrfs containers_image_openpgp"
$focus_file = "basic_test.go"
$focus_test = "podman build contexts"
./test/tools/build/ginkgo.exe `
-v --tags "$remotetags" -timeout=90m --trace --no-color `
--focus-file $focus_file `
--focus "$focus_test" `
./pkg/machine/e2e/.
Note that ginkgo.exe is built when running the command
winmake.ps1 localmachine so make sure to run it before trying the command
above.
Linux
QEMU
make localmachine
Microsoft Windows
Hyper-V
- Open a powershell as admin
.\winmake.ps1 podman-remote && .\winmake.ps1 win-gvproxy$env:CONTAINERS_HELPER_BINARY_DIR="$pwd\bin\windows"$env:CONTAINERS_MACHINE_PROVIDER="hyperv".\winmake localmachine
WSL
- Open a powershell as a regular user
.\winmake.ps1 podman-remote && .\winmake.ps1 win-gvproxy$env:CONTAINERS_HELPER_BINARY_DIR="$pwd\bin\windows"$env:CONTAINERS_MACHINE_PROVIDER="wsl".\winmake localmachine
MacOS
Macs now support two different machine providers: applehv and libkrun. The
libkrun provider is the default.
Note: On macOS, an error will occur if the path length of $TMPDIR is longer
than 22 characters. Please set the appropriate path to $TMPDIR. Also, if
$TMPDIR is empty, /private/tmp will be set.
Apple Hypervisor
brew install vfkitmake podman-remoteexport CONTAINERS_MACHINE_PROVIDER="applehv"make localmachine
Libkrun
brew install krunkitmake podman-remotemake localmachine
