The console interaction that waits for predicted strings uses readline(), and thus is only capable of waiting for strings that are followed by a newline.
This is inconvenient when needing to match on some things, particularly login prompts, or shell prompts, causing tests to use time.sleep(...) instead, which is unreliable. Switch to reading the console 1 byte at a time, comparing against the success/failure messages until we see a match, regardless of whether a newline is encountered. The success/failure comparisons are done with the python bytes type, rather than strings, to avoid the problem of needing to decode partially received multibyte utf8 characters. Heavily inspired by a patch proposed by Cédric, but written again to work in bytes, rather than strings. Co-developed-by: Cédric Le Goater <c...@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
