Hi, I'm trying to get started with LAVA by first attempting to do some simplistic testing over SSH to run some tests on a device that doesn't have a default template. I'm getting a few connection errors and others like output ['Permission denied (publickey,password).\r', 'lost connection', ''] and it's probably because I've misconfigured the jinja files, having little experience with these LAVA jinja templates.
Attached are the job logs, jinja2 template files and the test yaml file. Could anyone point me in the right direction by either providing sample ssh jinja files and job files or pointing out the errors in my config. Thanks!
Thanks!

Hi all!
I am working with some Raspberry Pi boards and, while defining some particularities for booting via NFS, I came across an issue regarding the way the rootfs file is unpacked.
To be more specific, after looking through the LAVA code, it seems that the untar_file() method runs on the conditional branch that states the tar members are specified. I do not understand how this implementation is designed in regards to tar archive manipulation, but the following scenario takes place:
* The rootfs archive we specify in the job definition is copied and renamed, the extension being changed from .tar.bz2 to a plain .tar (which seems a bit strange tom e, on its own)
* Then, after unpacking to the LAVA temp job dir, only two directories are extracted from the whole rootfs archive. I did manage to „inverveene” while the job was running and looking in the temp dir to see exactly what gets extracted. Since the rest of the folders from the rootfs are not available, the job fails once the system starts booting
While investigating, I noticed that the untarf_file() method is invoked from download.py (/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/lava_dispatcher/pipeline/actions/deploy/) - @ line 344 – with members being specified. I know that, because when I manually changed how this call is made and clearly specified “None” for the “member” positional argument, I get the following error at job runtime: https://paste.debian.net/1001252/ (the full job log can be found here: https://paste.debian.net/1001253/ )
The code changes I am talking about (and the code where I suspect something is ambiguous) are pointed out here: https://paste.debian.net/1001256/ .
A job definition we use for this board integration can be analyzed here: https://paste.debian.net/1001257/
The full log of the initial job, that ran without my code changes, can be found here: https://paste.debian.net/1001254/ . The „kernel panic” message ocurs because, as stated in one of the errors, the “init” folder is missing, which is accurate, because only bin & dev are extracted from our rootfs tar.bz2 archive.
What could we do? Is this something that needs to be adjusted/fixed in LAVA?
Kind regards,
Dragoș

Now the Test writer has access to the images inside the LXC
to make changes previous deploy/flash into the board, in order
to support mount/modify rootfs images the loop device is needed.
Add a parameter in the lxc-boot action to map a free loop device
(losetup -f) into the LXC.

Is the its file really needed? I added the ramdisk parameter precisely so
lava doesn't need to generate one.

Tomeu
Are any external configuration files required?

Everything should be in the .its file, and it should also be
possible to generate it on the fly using a template and the LAVA
device properties (kernel load address etc...). If this proves
to not be flexible enough in practice, then I suppose the .its
file could be downloaded although I think we should avoid doing
this if we can.

This can be done using the {{ extra_kernel_args }} template
variable, see the other change to add base-depthcharge.jinja2:
https://review.linaro.org/#/c/22992/1/lava_scheduler_app/tes
ts/device-types/base-depthcharge.jinja2
If anything more special ever needs to be done with some
parameters such as inserting some IP address, it can be done in
DepthchargeCommandOverlay where the command line file is
generated.
The only command sent is to start the tftp

On this topic, the changes to add the tftpboot command in
Depthcharge are still under review:
https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromiumos/platfo
rm/depthcharge/+/451382
So I think it would actually be wiser to not merge
base-depthcharge.jinja2 until the review above has been merged in
case the command line syntax needs to be adjusted.

Hi ,
In our testing, we must test the os centos and Ubuntu, but the grub interrupt_prompts is different betweent Ubuntu and centos. So in my device_type template I use "menu_options: {{ grub_method }}", but the "grub_method" must define in device jinjia2 file. I don't want to often chang the device jinja2 file , whether I can define some options in the job file?
Please give me some help!
The attachmen are my device_type and device file!
methods:
grub:
menu_options: {{ grub_method }}
parameters:
{% if grub_method == 'centos' %}
interrupt_prompt: {{ grub_interrupt_prompt|default('Press \'e\' to edit the selected item, or \'c\' for a command prompt.') }}
{% elif grub_method == 'ubuntu' %}
interrupt_prompt: {{ grub_interrupt_prompt|default(' Press enter to boot the selected OS') }}
{% elif grub_method == 'pxe' %}
interrupt_prompt: {{ grub_interrupt_prompt|default('Press \'e\' to edit the selected item, or \'c\' for a command prompt.') }}
{% endif %}
bootloader_prompt: {{ grub_efi_bootloader_prompt|default('grub>') }}
boot_message: {{ kernel_boot_message | default("Booting Linux Kernel...") }}

Hello Lava Team,
We faced to errors when we launched long tests ( e.g LTP tests, stress tests ... ) since we use Lava dockers.
The following messages are returned by Lava and the test stop :
Connection closed by foreign host.
err: lava_test_shell connection dropped
Marking unfinished test run as failed
These error messages appears during the test, if no message are generated on the console during approximatively six minutes.
We found a workaround that consist to send periodically message to the console, allowing the test to complete.
I would like to know if we can setup a setting to
I would like to know if there is a way to inhibit this control, or to change the timeout settings of this control ?
Our configuration : Lava 2017.6 with dockers

Hi,
>From a client side, I'd like to be notified that jobs are achieved in a
distant lava server. I started with the example provided at
https://validation.linaro.org/static/docs/v2/data-export.html#write-your-ow…
1. In a 1st try I've changed the example - because I'm using port 10080 -
and it works without the <lookup_publisher> . For that, I've hard coded
the url returned by lookup_publisher but this only prints out one status at
a time, ie :I needed to restart the script each time to have updates :
"Submited"->*Ctrl-C*->Running->*Ctrl-C*->complete
2. In a 2nd time I've tried to implement lookup_publisher thinking the
status would be updated automatically. In that case it wants to connect
to 5500 and obviously fails after timeout

I have saw the doc about : https://validation.linaro.org/static/docs/v2/test-repositories.html#test-re…!
My test-definition is in the brach dev-br1, not the master . So I point the branch in my yaml file, but it do noting ! Why?
Please give me some help?

Hello
I have installed a fresh 2017.12 in a docker and I hit two problem:
- With the exception of lava-coordinator, all services (lava-master, lava-server, lava-slave, etc...) fail to start with:
service lava-xxxx start
lava-xxxx: unrecognized service
All Other service successfully start (postgresql, apache2)
- I have then re-added old init scripts and when I add a worker with:
"lava-server manage workers add lab-slave"
I get:
