Dispatcher server part will get the return value of the test case and the serial port log, then create test result together with some info from job message, client dispatcher test logs. I think server dispatcher can fetch the client test logs initiatively after client dispatcher ends. If there is no result from the client, after timeout, 1. server dispatcher send some "Ctrl+C" to client dispatcher to end it. 2. then restart the client dispatcher. 3. try to get the client dispatcher remained test logs. 4. mark the test case to TIMEOUT and create the test result. PS. If step 1 can not end the client dispatcher, it may need a reboot for server dispatcher have lost the control of serial line. Test result bundle composed of every test case result, for each test case result, it includes: - LOG casename:Test case name testsuite:Test suite name testcmd:Test case Command timeout:Timeout retvalue:Return value version:kernel version(by "cat /proc/version") seriallog: serial port log ENDLOG e.g. - LOG casename:PERF001 testsuite:abrek testcmd:x11perf timeout:60000 retvalue:0 version:2.6.35-xxxx seriallog: xxx xxx xxx ENDLOG And a test result bundle: LOG casename:PERF001 testsuite:abrek testcmd:x11perf timeout:60000 retvalue:0 version:2.6.35-xxxx seriallog: xxx xxx xxx ENDLOG LOG casename:USB002 testsuite:abrek testcmd:usb_app timeout:60000 retvalue:0 version:2.6.35-xxxx seriallog: yyy yyy yyy ENDLOG What do you think? The flow to get test result: 1. Server dispatcher sends commands to client dispatcher via serial line to invoke client dispatcher, capture all the serial log and wait for the client dispatcher ends. 2. Client dispatcher executes the command, save logs to some place on the board. 3. If client dispatcher ends normally(return to the "root@testimage:~$" string), server dispatcher uses "echo $?" to get the return value. Or terminate the client dispatcher after timeout. 4. Server dispatcher gets client dispatcher test logs. 5. Server dispatcher uses the collected information to create test result. -- Best wishes, Spring Zhang
