Daniel Hilst e2ef0662aa test(xcat-core): the machine-type test is written as a Perl program
diskless_flat_vmothersetting_machine.t measures shell. It lifts two commands
out of reg_linux_diskless_installation_flat, renders the xcattest placeholders,
writes a wrapper that shadows lsdef and chdef, and shells out. The Perl adds
nothing the shell cannot state, and the case file it reads is shell itself.

The test moves to xCAT-test/bats, which the xcat_test workflow already runs. It
keeps what it proved: on ppc64le, x86_64 and riscv64 the restore writes a
machine type rather than an empty vmothersetting, the check that follows it
passes, and the remove path compares two defined strings. A command that stops
matching fails the test instead of covering nothing.

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.
