Matthew Heon 5e94c95ad0 Move to deterministic network setup order
This was implemented by containers/netavark #1369; this commit
completes the process by wiring it into Podman. We now respect
the CLI order for configured networks - if a user passes
`--net net1,net2` we guarantee that net1 will be configured
before net2.

For containers created before this patch, we don't retain enough
information to configure networks in CLI order, so we use
alphabetical order instead to still guarantee consistency.

No breaking API changes have been made, but we do add a new
field to supplement the existing map to (optionally) provide
ordering information. The Podman CLI will always pass this.
Existing applications that do not will, again, receive]
deterministic ordering based on an alphabetical sort of network
names.

This requires the latest version of Netavark to work properly.

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

  1. make localmachine

Microsoft Windows

Hyper-V

  1. Open a powershell as admin
  2. .\winmake.ps1 podman-remote && .\winmake.ps1 win-gvproxy
  3. $env:CONTAINERS_HELPER_BINARY_DIR="$pwd\bin\windows"
  4. $env:CONTAINERS_MACHINE_PROVIDER="hyperv"
  5. .\winmake localmachine

WSL

  1. Open a powershell as a regular user
  2. .\winmake.ps1 podman-remote && .\winmake.ps1 win-gvproxy
  3. $env:CONTAINERS_HELPER_BINARY_DIR="$pwd\bin\windows"
  4. $env:CONTAINERS_MACHINE_PROVIDER="wsl"
  5. .\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

  1. brew install vfkit
  2. make podman-remote
  3. export CONTAINERS_MACHINE_PROVIDER="applehv"
  4. make localmachine

Libkrun

  1. brew install krunkit
  2. make podman-remote
  3. make localmachine
