[OE-core] [PATCH v2 1/2] wic/plugins: Source that support both EFI and BIOS

[William Bourque]

Hi,

Sorry about the failure. I'm trying to figure out what's wrong; the
output of the autobuilder is quite puzzling.

For test_biosplusefi_plugin_qemu, at line 1303
(https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/79/builds/290/steps/7/logs/step2d)
:
It seems that for some reason my command was truncated ("sk -l
/dev/sda" of "fdisk -l /dev/sda" as in the code).

For test_biosplusefi_plugin, line 1287,
(https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/79/builds/290/steps/7/logs/step2d):
If I read the output right, the test fails on "Couldn't find correct
bootimg_dir"... which is unexpected since it's not something I'm using
in the test itself.


That said, I'm having a real hard time running the tests here and
getting the same result as the autobuilder.
Out of the box, all the *_qemu tests are failing on my setup. I was
able to get them running after debugging oeqa selftest classes : for
some reasons, qemu does not seems to like having multiple "-serial"
passed as arguments; only the first one is considered. I had to patch
the code locally to get the tests to run.

I suspect there might be difference between my host machine compared
to autobuilder, but I couldn't find information about what's the
"right" setup.

Is there a HOWTO or some documentation I can follow to make sure my
own setup is comparable to autobuilder?
Otherwise I fear I won't be able to get the same results as I see in
the reports.
