Machines configured to mount local paths containing spaces failed to start on Hyper-V and silently failed to mount the folder on macOS/Linux. On Windows/hyperv, where local paths are mounted running a 9p client inside the VM, the local host path needs to be surrounding with quotation marks before using in a `podman machine ssh ...` command. A similar behavior happened on Linux/QEMU where the path was used in a SSH command to mount the folder using virtiofs. Quoting the path when buidling the command arguments fixed the problem. On macOS/libkit,applehv the path was written as is in a systemd unit name to instruct how to mount it. Escaping space chars so that they are are parsed successfully fixed this: ```diff -- enable path with spaces.mount ++ enable path\x20with\x20spaces.mount ``` Fixes https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/25500 Signed-off-by: Mario Loriedo <mario.loriedo@gmail.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 btrfs_noversion 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
applehv 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-remotemake localmachine
Libkrun
brew install krunkitmake podman-remoteexport CONTAINERS_MACHINE_PROVIDER="libkrun"make localmachine
