When performing OCR, some of the Tesseract settings perform better than
others on a variety of different workloads, but they mostly take
~negligible incremental time to run compared to the overhead of running
the ImageMagick filters.
After this commit, we try using all three of the current Tesseract
models (classic, LSTM, and classic+LSTM) to generate output text. This
fixes chromium-90's tests at release-20.09, and should make cases where
you're looking for *specific* text better, with the tradeoff of running
Tesseract multiple times.
To make it sensible to cherrypick this into release-20.09, this doesn't
change the existing API surface for the test driver. In particular,
get_screen_text continues to have the existing behaviour.
Make the revision metadata constant, in order to avoid needless retesting.
The human version (e.g. 21.05-pre) is left as is, because it is useful
for external modules that test with e.g. nixosTest and rely on that
version number.
the nix store may contain hardlinks: derivations may output them
directly, or users may be using store optimization which automatically
hardlinks identical files in the nix store.
The presence of these links are intended to be a 'transparent'
optimization. However, when creating a squashfs image, the image
will be different depending on whether hard links were present
on the filesystem, leading to reproducibility problems.
By passing '-no-hardlinks' to mksquashfs the files are stored
as duplicates in the squashfs image. Since squashfs has support
for duplicate files this does not lead to a larger image.

The hydra tarball step would fail due to the nodes attribute not being
properly inherited. Since we can't execute all the tests and release
steps locally anymore (thanks to the JSONification and faster hydra
eval) these errors will probably keep in appearing.
This is hopefully the last of those introduced by me test runner
refactoring.

In 5500dc8 we introduced the --keep-vm-state flag and defaulted to that
flag not being set. This lead to the `runInMachine` tests not longer
working and that going unnoticed for quite some time now.
Previously you would be able to override only the QEMU package to be
used in the test runner. Frankly that doesn't help a lot if you are
trying to get a graphical session. The graphical session requires the
option in the NixOS module system to bet set to the correct QEMU
package.
In this commit I moved most of the test node configuration and
transformations into the `mkDriver` function (previously called
`driver`). The motivation was to be able to create a `driver` instance
with a given QEMU package that will be used consistently througout the
test expression.
According to Python documentation [0], `bufsize=1` is only meaningful in
text mode. As we don't pass in an argument called `universal_newlines`,
`encoding`, `errors` or `text` the file objects aren't opened in text
mode, which means the argument is ignored with a warning in Python 3.8.
line buffering (buffering=1) isn't supported in binary mode,
the default buffer size will be used
This commit removes this warning that appared when using
interactive test driver built with `-A driver`. This is done by
removing `bufsize=1` from Popen calls.
The default parameter when unspecified for `bufsize` is `-1` which
according to the documentation will be interpreted as
`io.DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE`. As mentioned by a warning, Python already
uses default buffer size when providing `buffering=1` parameter for
file objects not opened in text mode.
[0]: https://docs.python.org/3/library/subprocess.html#subprocess.Popen
For a lot of the work the non-interactive drivers are enough and it is
probably a good idea to keep it accessible for debugging without
touching the Nix expression.
Since we previously stripped down the features of `qemu_test` some of
the features users are used to while running tests through the (impure)
driver didn't work anymore. Most notably we lost support for graphical
output and audio. With this change the `driver` attribute uses are more
feature complete version of QEmu compared to the one used in the pure
Nix builds.
This gives us the best of both worlds. Users are able to see the
graphical windows of VMs while CI and regular nix builds do not have to
download all the (unnecessary) dependencies.
Since using flakes disallows the usage of <unstable> (which I use in
some tests), this adds an alternative. By setting specialArgs, all VMs
can get the `unstable` flake input as an arg. This is not possible with
extraConfigurations, as that would lead to infinite recursions.
ecb73fd555 introduced a new keepVmState
CLI flag for test-driver.py. This CLI flags gets forwarded to the
Machine class through create_machine.
It created a regression for the boot tests where __main__ end up not
being evaluated. See
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/97346#issuecomment-690951837 for
bug report.
Defaulting keepVmState to false when __main__ ends up not being
evaluated.
The previous version of the code would only kick in if the state
directory path pointed at a *file*, which never occurs. Making that
codepath actually work reveals an ordering bug, which this patch fixes
as well.
It also replaces the confusing, imperative case log message "delete VM
state directory" with "deleting VM state directory".
Finally, we hint the user about how to prevent this deletion. IE. by
passing the --keep-vm-state flag.

This reverts commit 1bff6fe17c, reversing
changes made to 2995fa48cb.
There’s presumably nothing wrong with this PR, except that it
conflicts with reverting #96254 which broke several tests (#96699).

With the Perl driver, machine.sleep(N) was doing a sleep on the guest
machine instead of the host machine. The new Python test driver however
uses time.sleep(), which instead sleeps on the host.
While this shouldn't make a difference most of the time, it *does*
however make a huge difference if the test machine is loaded and you're
sleeping for a minimum duration of eg. an animation.
I stumbled on this while porting most of all my tests to the new Python
test driver and particularily my video game tests failed on a fairly
loaded machine, whereas they don't with the Perl test driver.
Switching the sleep() method to sleep on the guest instead of the host
fixes this.

This appears to avoid requiring KVM when it’s not available. This is
what I originally though -cpu host did. Unfortunately not much
documentation available from the QEMU side on this, but this appears
to square with help:
$ qemu-system-x86 -cpu help
...
x86 host KVM processor with all supported host features
x86 max Enables all features supported by the accelerator in the current host
...
Whether we actually want to support this not clear, since this only
happens when your CPU doesn’t have full KVM support. Some Nix builders
are lying about kvm support though. Things aren’t too slow without it
though.

In 9ac1ab10c9 this library function was
refactored to use mkfs.ext4 instead of cptofs. There are two problems:
If populateImageCommands would create no files (which is fine), a cp
invocation would fail due to missing source arguments.
Another problem is that mkfs.ext4 relies on fakeroot to have sane
uid/gids in the generated filesystem image. This currently doesn't
work for cross compiling.
This modifies the `router` to not give out a range of IP addresses but
only give out a fixed address based on the MAC address using the
`services.dhcpd4.machines` option.
To get access to the MAC address the `qemuNicMac` function is defined
and exported from `qemu-flags.nix`.
By generating a version-5 GUID based on $out (which contains
the derivation hash) and preventing isohybrid from overwriting
the GPT table (which already is populated correctly by xorriso).

Also tested that "nix-build ./nixos/release-combined.nix -A
nixos.iso_minimal.x86_64-linux -I nixpkgs=~/nixpkgs-r13y --check"
now succeeds.

This was broken in 460c0d6 (PR #90431); now the nixos-unstable channel

vcunat modified this commit to use env-var instead of hardcoding /build
Keeping the VM state test across several run sometimes lead to subtle
and hard to spot errors in practice. We delete the VM state which
contains (among other things) the qcow volume.
We also introduce a -K (--keep-vm-state) flag making VM state to
persist after the test run. This flag makes test-driver.py to match
its previous behaviour.
Turns out, on smaller images (~800MiB uncompressed sdcard image size),
the current fudge factor is way too small to even get the system to the
phase where it can resize itself.
I first tried with 1.05, but it wasn't enough.
xchg is advertised as a bidirectional exchange dir, but file content
transfer from host to VM fails due to caching:
If a file is read in the VM and then modified on the host, subsequent
re-reads in the VM can yield old, cached data.
This is caused by the use of 9p's cache=loose mode that is explicitly
meant for read-only mounts.
9p doesn't provide any suitable cache modes, so fix this by disabling
caching.
Also, remove a now unnecessary sync in the test driver.
These syncs have the goal to transfer host filesystem changes to the VM,
but they have no effect because 1) syncing in the VM can't possibly pull
in host data and 2) 9p is accessing the host filesystem on the cached
layer anyways, so even syncing on the host would have no effect in the
VM.
The test harness provides the commands it wishes to run in Bourne
syntax. This fails if the user uses a different shell. For example,
with fish:
machine.wait_for_unit("graphical-session.target", "alice")
machine # fish: Unsupported use of '='. To run '-u`' with a modified environment, please use 'env XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/`id -u`…'
machine # XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/`id -u` systemctl --user --no-pager show "graphical-session.target"
machine # ^
machine # [ 16.329957] su[1077]: pam_unix(su:session): session closed for user alice
error: retrieving systemctl info for unit "graphical-session.target" under user "alice" failed with exit code 127
This completes the removal of the nested log feature, which previously
got removed from Nix, Hydra, stdenv and GNU Make. In particular, this
means that the output of VM builds no longer contains a copy of
jQuery.
If a program (e.g. nixos-install) writes more than 1000 lines to
stderr during execute(), then process_serial_output() deadlocks
waiting for the queue to be processed. So use an unbounded queue
instead.
We should probably get rid of the structured log output (log.xml),
since then we don't need the log queue anymore.
This avoids a possible surprise if the user is using `nixpkgs.system`
and `nesting.children`. `nesting.children` is expected to ignore all
parent configuration so we shouldn't propagate the user-facing option
`nixpkgs.system`. To avoid doing so, we introduce a new internal
option for holding the value passed to eval-config.nix, and use that
when recursing for nesting.
