Currently to run Avocado acceptance tests in an out-of-tree build directory, we need to use the full path to the test:
build_dir$ avocado run /full/path/to/sources/qemu/tests/acceptance/boot_linux_console.py This patch adds a symlink in the build tree to simplify the tests invocation, allowing the same command than in in-tree builds: build_dir$ avocado run tests/acceptance/boot_linux_console.py Signed-off-by: Philippe Mathieu-Daudé <f4...@amsat.org> --- Based-on: 20180530184156.15634-1-cr...@redhat.com Since RFC: reworded the commit message (Eduardo Habkost) configure | 8 +++++--- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/configure b/configure index a8c4094c87..d095ed45a4 100755 --- a/configure +++ b/configure @@ -7239,9 +7239,11 @@ for rom in seabios vgabios ; do done # set up tests data directory -if [ ! -e tests/data ]; then - symlink "$source_path/tests/data" tests/data -fi +for tests_subdir in acceptance data; do + if [ ! -e tests/$tests_subdir ]; then + symlink "$source_path/tests/$tests_subdir" tests/$tests_subdir + fi +done # set up qemu-iotests in this build directory iotests_common_env="tests/qemu-iotests/common.env" -- 2.17.1
