When launching a VM, if an exception happens and the VM is not initiated, it is useful to see the qemu command line that was executed and the output of that command.
Before the patch: >>> VM = qemu.QEMUMachine('../aarch64-softmmu/qemu-system-aarch64') >>> VM.launch() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "qemu.py", line 137, in launch self._post_launch() File "qemu.py", line 121, in _post_launch self._qmp.accept() File "qmp/qmp.py", line 145, in accept self.__sock, _ = self.__sock.accept() File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/socket.py", line 206, in accept sock, addr = self._sock.accept() socket.timeout: timed out After the patch: >>> VM = qemu.QEMUMachine('../aarch64-softmmu/qemu-system-aarch64') >>> VM.launch() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "qemu.py", line 156, in launch raise RuntimeError(msg) RuntimeError: Error launching VM. Original Exception: Traceback (most recent call last): File "qemu.py", line 138, in launch self._post_launch() File "qemu.py", line 122, in _post_launch self._qmp.accept() File "qmp/qmp.py", line 145, in accept self.__sock, _ = self.__sock.accept() File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/socket.py", line 206, in accept sock, addr = self._sock.accept() timeout: timed out Command: /usr/bin/qemu-system-aarch64 -chardev socket,id=mon, path=/var/tmp/qemu-23958-monitor.sock -mon chardev=mon,mode=control -display none -vga none Output: qemu-system-aarch64: No machine specified, and there is no default Use -machine help to list supported machines Also, if the launch() faces an exception, the 'except' now will use args to fill the debug information. So this patch assigns 'args' earlier, assuring it will be available for the 'except'.
