Related Avocado Projects News

The Avocado framework is a project consisting of multiple repositories. Notably, Avocado-VT, aexpect and the newer AAutils.

Avocado-VT

If you’re an Avocado-VT user, or are interested in having tests running across multiple machines, please refer to the documentation of the newly introduced Multi-Host Testing.

AAutils

AAutils has released version 3.0 (check out also the PyPI release), containing a large number of new utilities, migrated from Avocado itself. Please refer to the current list of utilities.

Bug Fixes

• The job.output.loglevel configuration option was not being respected for external loggers outside of the avocado logging namespace.

• Fixed an issue in avocado.utils.process.can_sudo where the wrong type of return of avocado.utils.process.system_output() was assumed.

Utility Modules

• The following modules received improvements like docstrings and better test coverage, preparing them for being migrated to AAUtils:

• avocado.utils.astring

• avocado.utils.process

• avocado.utils.script

• avocado.utils.wait

• Added deprecation notice to the following modules (it means they will be removed after the next LTS release):

• avocado.utils.astring

• avocado.utils.gdb

• avocado.utils.network.ports

• avocado.utils.output

• avocado.utils.path

• avocado.utils.process

• avocado.utils.script

• avocado.utils.wait

• avocado.utils.cpu now has a broadened AMD Zen5 detection to recognize additional processor model ranges, improving identification of more CPU variants.

• Fixed a resource leak in avocado.utils.sysinfo.Daemon.run() in module avocado.utils.sysinfo.

• avocado.utils.partition now provides symmetry when it comes to allowing users to specify the mount point in both the mount and unmount operations.

• avocado.utils.linux_modules now also supports /lib/modules/$KERNEL_VERSION/build/.config paths as a location for the kernel configuration as found in some systems.

• avocado.utils.multipath received stability improvements in avocado.utils.multipath.is_failed() and avocado.utils.multipath.is_reinstated(), preventing errors when the status path is not properly obtained.

Internal changes

• Updated the format of license to match SPDX in the RPM packages.

• Improved reliability of functional nrunner test test_task_status_service_lost, which produced false positives due to timing issues.

• Improved reliability of time sensitive unit tests for avocado.utils.wait by relaxing the time tolerances and broadening assertion ranges.

• Improved reliability of basic functional tests by matching against the presence of output messages, instead of an exact match, given that some platforms will output deprecation and other similar warnings.

• The pre-release deployment check was updated to use Fedora 42, matching the COPR repository configuration.
