Mocked platforms timeout on tests

[BlackstoneEngineering]

Problem

I tried to mock the hexiwear device by doing mbedls --mock=0214:HEXIWEAR, this allowed me to then run singletest.py -j 0 --tc GCC_ARM -V, but all tests time out. I then instead went and modified mbedls, adding the appropriate line to mbedls to enable hexiwear, re-installed, deleted the build directory, and re-ran the tests. Then all tests worked.

Conclusion

Something in the mock subcommand doesnt work with tests. Not sure what

Solution

make mock work with testing infrastructure as this is the primary way we expect users to test their platforms before submitting a PR.

@BlackstoneEngineering Austin did you take under consideration that --mock works only in the same directory not globally. Description is in this chapter in the description under third block.

I quote: "We can observe changes immediately. Please note this change only works in the same directory because we save .mbedls-mock file locally:".

Please try with pre HEX mbed-ls and this workflow:

$ cd mbed
$ cd tools
$ mbedls --mock=0214:HEXIWEAR
$ singletest.py --auto --tc GCC_ARM -V

I was unsure if command you've put here ( singletest.py -j 0 --tc GCC_ARM -V ) is exactly what you were using.

I'm assuming that you were actually using --auto to detect HEX platform and forced GCC_ARM toolchain using --tc command line switch.

Yes, i took the local folder into consideration. I even had @bridadan double check to make sure I wasn't crazy. Using --mock worked in so far as identifying the board correctly, but did not work when trying to run the test suite (singletest.py), however when I modified mbed-ls-git and reinstalled the test suite worked correctly.

This is going to be a terrible usability bug when we try to get people in the general populace / partners to port their stuff with minimal support.
