We cannot mark a test suite as excluded by default in meson. Instead,
let's require that SYSTEMD_INTEGRATION_TESTS=1 and skip any integration
test if it's not set. This is effectively the same as excluding it by
default. If the integration-test option is enabled, we'll set the
environment variable by default, just like we do with SYSTEMD_SLOW_TESTS
and the slow-tests meson option.
- Stop using logging module since the default output formatting is
pretty bad. Prefer print() for now.
- Log less, logging the full mkosi command line is rather verbose,
especially when it contains multi-line dropins.
- Streamline the journalctl command we output for debugging failed
tests.
- Don't force usage of the disk image format.
- Don't force running without unit tests.
- Don't force disabling RuntimeBuildSources.
- Update documentation to streamline the command for running a single
test and remove sudo as it's not required anymore.
- Improve the console output by having the test unit's output logged
to both the journal and the console.
- Disable journal console log forwarding as we have journal forwarding
as a better alternative.
- Delete existing journal file before running test.
- Delete journal files of succeeded tests to reduce disk usage.
- Rename system_mkosi target to just mkosi
- Pass in mkosi source directory explicitly to accomodate arbitrary
build directory locations.
- Add test interactive debugging if stdout is connected to a tty
- Stop explicitly using the 'system' image since it'll likely be
dropped soon.
- Only forward journal if we're not running in debugging mode.
- Stop using testsuite.target and instead just add the necessary
extras to the main testsuite unit via the credential dropin.
- Override type to idle so test output is not interleaved with
status output.
- Don't build mkosi target by default
- Always add the mkosi target if mkosi is found
- Remove dependency of the integration tests on the mkosi target
as otherwise the image is always built, even though we configure
it to not be built by default.
- Move mkosi output, cache and build directory into build/ so that
invocations from meson and regular invocations share the same
directories.
- Various aesthetic cleanups.
This requires a Coverity license, so the usefulness of the instructions
is somewhat limited, but at least I won't have to re-discover everything
from scratch when I need to debug something Coverity-related again in the
future.
KERNEL_APPEND="systemd.unit=multi-user.target" is not very useful, because the
machine will still shut down as soon as the tests succeeds or fails. But
INTERACTIVE_DEBUG=1 works great, so let's simplify the instructions and
recommend that.
In most cases we refernced the concept as "initrd". Let's convert most
remaining uses of "initramfs" to "initrd" too, to stay internally
consistent.
This leaves "initramfs" only where it's relevant to explain historical
concepts or where "initramfs" is part of the API (i.e. in
/run/initramfs).

We used both "qemu" and "QEMU", let's use the lower-case version everywhere
since it's also the name of the binary and the version that people are
most familiar with.
The stuff under test/ is not only for the integeration tests, but also
for various other test-related stuff, so adjust the docs a bit.
Every time I need it I have to first relearn autopkgtest and find where
all the necessary stuff lives, so let's document it somewhere close to
systemd for (at least) future me.
The $BUILD_DIR is only used in test-functions, and doesn't need to
be specified in any other scripts. Additionally, to be able to allow
the integration test suite to be run against locally installed binaries,
instead of built binaries, moving BUILD_DIR logic completely into
test-functions allows later patches to be simpler.
By default the test suite prefers qemu, and uses nspawn only if
a test specifically says it doesn't support qemu.
Add a variable to allow flipping the default, and run as many
tests under nspawn as possible.
Allows to split the test run in two parts. Most tests can run under
nspawn which is much faster, and they can be ran in one chunk with
TEST_NO_QEMU=1. The qemu-only tests, which are just a handful, can
be ran in another chunk with TEST_QEMU_ONLY=1.
Allows autopkgtest to be split in two parts.
It tries to find a suitable QEMU binary and will use KVM if present.
We can now configure QEMU from outside with 4 variables :
- $QEMU_BIN : path to QEMU's binary
- $KERNEL_APPEND : arguments appended to kernel cmdline
- $KERNEL_BIN : path to a kernel
Default /boot/vmlinuz-$KERNEL_VER
- $INITRD : path to an initramfs
Default /boot/initramfs-${KERNEL_VER}.img
- $QEMU_SMP : number of CPU simulated by QEMU.
Default 1

- fix typo
- use compiled systemd-nspawn
- drop --capability=... from systemd-nspawn invocation, is is the default now
- simplify sudo make invocations
