Daniel Hilst 06cc43c863 test(xcat-test): the EL service node has no fast test of what it generates
Every service node defect in this change set was a generated artifact that was
already wrong before any node booted: a repository file that enabled no builder
repo, a template that resolved to the wrong installer, an exports line that was
never written. The tests that caught them are one file per fix, so each knows
one defect and together they know no defect class. A fix nobody has made yet is
covered by none of them.

service_node_artifacts_el.t renders the artifacts an EL service node needs from
one fixture and asserts each: the builder repository per release and vendor,
including that EL8 is powertools and not crb; the template the service profile
resolves, which must not be a Subiquity one; and the export line for a local
directory and for a re-exported mount, where an absent fsid is what made a
service node export nothing.

A missing module or sub fails rather than skips, and the file reports every gap
instead of dying at the first, because on an unfixed tree this test is the gap
report. Measured: 17 assertions pass on the branch, and the base fails two of
them by name.

It does not cover the boot half -- the lease, the tftp handover, the mount the
installer performs -- so it replaces no end-to-end run. It replaces the 45 to
90 minutes those runs cost in the ROUNDS of a minimization.

xCAT-test

Unit tests that run from the source checkout are split by implementation language:

Test type Location Runner
Perl unit tests xCAT-test/unit/*.t prove -r xCAT-test/unit
Shell unit tests xCAT-test/bats/*.bats bats -r xCAT-test/bats
CLI functional tests xCAT-test/autotest/testcase/ and xCAT-test/autotest/bundle/ xcattest -f <cluster.conf> -t <case> or xcattest -f <cluster.conf> -b <bundle>

Use Perl .t tests for Perl modules, Perl scripts, templates, and repository artifacts. Use BATS tests for shell-script behavior that can be exercised from the checkout by sourcing a shell library or script and shadowing external commands.

Shell behavior should not be tested by Perl tests that grep shell source. Put those tests under xCAT-test/bats instead.

See unit/README.md and bats/README.md for the detailed rules for each unit-test suite.
