The docstring says it uses a directory shared among all vms, although
that doesn't seem necessary for the functionality. However, it does need
to be consistent between the guest and host.
The codec format 'unicode_escape' was introduced in 52ee102 to handle
undecodable bytes in boot menus.
This made the problem worse as unicode chars outside of iso-8859-1
produce garbled output and valid utf-8 strings (such as "\x" ) trigger
decoding errors.
Fix this by using the default 'utf-8' codec and by explicitly ignoring
decoding errors.
This changes the python test driver to match the behavior of the perl
test driver. I.e. the directory mounted into /tmp/shared should be the
same for all machines.
This probably fixes many tests, but I found this while investigating
failures in nixos/tests/ceph-multi-node.nix.
we previously immediately returned the first commands output, and didn't
execute any of the other commands.
Now, return the last commands output.
This should be documented in the method docstring.
Condition seems to be inverted. Crash and shutdown only make sense, when
the machine is booted; i.e. we return immediately otherwise.
In the Perl test driver this is:
return unless $self->{booted};
When IPXE tests were added, an option was added for configuring only
the frontend, and the backend configuration was dropped entirely. This
caused most installer tests to fail.
See #49441 for an earlier attempt, which was subsequently reverted. I am
assuming that doubling the time will be sufficient if the machine is
overloaded since so many of the tests already pass at 5 minutes, while
still not holding back failures for needlessly long.
The ability to specify "-drive if=scsi" has been removed in QEMU version
2.12 (introduced in 3e3b39f173).

So whenever the diskInterface is "scsi" we use the new way to specify
the drive and fall back to the deprecated way for the time being. The
reason why I'm not using the new way for "virtio" and "ide" as well is
because there is no simple generic way anymore to specify these.
This also turns the type of the virtualisation.qemu.diskInterface option
to be an enum, so the user knows which values are allowed but we can
also make sure the right value is provided to prevent typos.
I've tested this against a few non-disk-related NixOS VM tests but also
the installer.grub1 test (because it uses "ide" as its drive interface),
the installer.simple test (just to be sure it still works with
"virtio") and all the tests in nixos/tests/boot.nix.
In order to be able to run the grub1 test I had to go back to
8b1cf100cd (which is a known commit where
that test still works) and apply the QEMU update and this very commit,
because right now the test is broken.
Apart from the tests here in nixpkgs, I also ran another[1] test in
another repository which uses the "scsi" disk interface as well (in
comparison to most of the installer tests, this one actually failed
prior to this commit).
All of them now succeed.

It is quite complicated to test services using the test-driver when
declaring user services with `systemd.user.services` such as many
X11-based services like `xautolock.service`.
This change adds an optional `$user` parameter to each systemd-related
function in the test-driver and runs `systemctl --user` commands using
`su -l $user -c ...` and sets the `XDG_RUNTIME_DIR` variable
accordingly and a new function named `systemctl` which is able to run a
systemd command with or without a specified user.
The change can be confirmed with a simple VM declaration like this:
```
import ./nixos/tests/make-test.nix ({ pkgs, lib }:
with lib;
{
name = "systemd-user-test";
nodes.machine = {
imports = [ ./nixos/tests/common/user-account.nix ];
services.xserver.enable = true;
services.xserver.displayManager.auto.enable = true;
services.xserver.displayManager.auto.user = "bob";
services.xserver.xautolock.enable = true;
};
testScript = ''
$machine->start;
$machine->waitForX;
$machine->waitForUnit("xautolock.service", "bob");
$machine->stopJob("xautolock.service", "bob");
$machine->startJob("xautolock.service", "bob");
$machine->systemctl("list-jobs --no-pager", "bob");
$machine->systemctl("show 'xautolock.service' --no-pager", "bob");
'';
})
```
