This test boots a Linux kernel, and checks that the given command line was effective in two ways: * It makes the kernel use the set "console device" as a console * The kernel records the command line as expected in the console Given that way too many error conditions may occur, and detecting the kernel boot progress status may not be trivial, this test relies on a timeout to handle unexpected situations. Also, it's *not* tagged as a quick test for obvious reasons. It may be useful, while interactively running/debugging this test, or tests similar to this one, to show some of the logging channels. Example: $ avocado --show=QMP,console run boot_linux_console.py Signed-off-by: Cleber Rosa <crosa@redhat.com> Message-Id: <20180530184156.15634-6-crosa@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Eduardo Habkost <ehabkost@redhat.com> |

============================================ Acceptance tests using the Avocado Framework ============================================ This directory contains functional tests, also known as acceptance level tests. They're usually higher level, and may interact with external resources and with various guest operating systems. For more information, please refer to ``docs/devel/testing.rst``, section "Acceptance tests using the Avocado Framework".
