A lot of CI code is python mixed with bash, e.g.,
ssh = getConnection(host)
ssh.run('ls')
ssh.run('echo')
At least some of this CI code would benefit if it was written in a
simple bash script, returning error codes and potentially other
information either through stdout/stderr or files, to the calling Python
code:
ssh = runScript(host, script)
# script does: ls; echo
This commit introduces the possibility to run entire scripts. The idea
is that the executor has a script (on localhost), which is either
executed locally or on a remote host. For the remote host, the script is
not copied but piped into a remotely executed bash. In both cases,
output is either returned like the Cmd.run() function with returncode
and mixed stdout/stderr, or optionally redirected into a file on the
(remote) host, which can be treated further by the Python code in later
steps.
The next commit will use "echo -e". The problem with that is that bash
and sh differ:
- in bash: this results in "a\nb" (a+newline+b)
- in sh: this results in -e a\nb (-e a+newline+b)
The problem is that by default, commands are executed through sh, which
nobody expects. Change to bash, which is likely more aligned with what
people want to use.
Add some basic unit tests to verify that Iperf/Ping work. Harmonize the
logging by only print in the "main" iperf/ping function, to avoid that
if we test with multiple UEs, the output intermixes. Also, do one common
mkdir before starting multiple pings/iperfs. Finally, harmonize the
paths so that Iperf and Ping log their files in the same place.
- Return code says if copying succeeded
- Improve handling of the recursive code paths, which copy files or
directories recursively into another directory
- both for RemoteCmd/LocalCmd
