Scan the z/VM, bmcconfig, energy, PPC configuration, CIM and z/VM utility sources. Fail when a printSyslog line or a checkSSH_Rc command string carries a password variable, when a directory query output logs without the redactor, when the masked log lines lose their mask or their position built operand, when the executed commands lose their real values, when the CIM verbose dump returns to the raw request, or when the attribute and access messages hold a password value again. Drive the real redact_directory_entry with sentinel USER, IDENTITY, IDENT, MDISK range, DEVNO and V-DISK, APPCPASS and keyword records in both spellings, with and without one or more comment stars, cover the COMMAND statement whole, keep the statements beside the passwords, and prove that a passwordless record never masks across the line into the next record. Assert that both clone loops redact the query output at the source, that the directory helpers hand a redacted copy to the failure checker, and that every error branch behind the output check, the directory fetch, the mini disk fetch and the four disk list callers, echoes the redacted text.
xCAT-test/unit
Unit tests. These run against the source tree only -- no xCAT installation, no running daemons, no management node.
They are executed on every pull request by the xcat_test GitHub Actions workflow,
which calls run_unit_tests() in github_action_xcat_test.pl:
prove -r xCAT-test/unit
You can run exactly the same thing from a clean checkout:
cd <xcat-core checkout>
prove -r xCAT-test/unit
What belongs here
A test belongs in unit/ when everything it needs is in the checkout: plugin and
library sources, kickstart/preseed/subiquity templates, postscripts, packaging
metadata. Such a test asserts on rendered output or module logic and reaches the
repository root through FindBin:
use FindBin;
use lib "$FindBin::Bin/../../perl-xCAT";
use lib "$FindBin::Bin/../../xCAT-server/lib/perl";
Because of those FindBin paths the tests only work from a source tree. The copy
installed under /opt/xcat/share/xcat/tools/autotest/unit is not a substitute --
../.. resolves to /opt/xcat/share/xcat/tools there and the tests die or silently
skip. The CI takes a copy of the checkout before the build for this reason; see
preserve_source_tree().
What does not belong here
Anything that needs an installed xCAT, a populated /install, a real service binary
or a live daemon. Those go in ../integration and run on
a management node through xcattest. Both suites run on every pull request -- the
workflow installs xCAT on the runner and then runs the ci_test cases against it --
so putting a test in integration/ does not cost it CI coverage. What differs is what
each suite is allowed to depend on, and that unit tests also run standalone from a
bare checkout with no xCAT at all.
The distinction matters because a test that needs an absent environment does not fail
-- it calls plan skip_all and reports as skipped. A handful of those in a suite of
several hundred assertions is easy to stop reading. Keeping the two kinds in separate
directories means a skip in unit/ is a real signal rather than routine noise.
Guarding on a source file, on the other hand, is fine and common here:
plan skip_all => "compute.subiquity.tmpl not found" unless -f $tmpl_path;
That guard never fires when the tree is intact.
