Ubuntu 18.04 and later render the network with netplan. ifupdown is not installed and /etc/network/interfaces.d/* is ignored entirely, so configeth's Debian branch -- which writes exactly there -- configures nothing at all on a modern Ubuntu node. It must write /etc/netplan/*.yaml and apply it instead. Issue #7454. Three properties a netplan writer has to hold, all of which an in-place YAML editor gets wrong. A VLAN interface (<parent>.<vid>) belongs under vlans: with id and link, or netplan never recreates it after a reboot. Multiple addresses on one NIC must keep the order they were added. And routes must be idempotent on the whole (to, via) pair, not on either field alone, or a second route sharing a gateway is swallowed. nicextraparams must survive as well: the ifupdown branch writes them into the interface stanza, so a netplan branch that drops them silently discards configuration the user asked for. Drive the real writers -- extracted from configeth and run against a temp NETPLAN_DIR -- and hand the result to `netplan generate` where netplan is installed.

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.
