This is part of the effort to implement an ignore list for the
/var/crash
test. We need to be able to define the list of ignored crashes in each profile, so that means the scripts must have access to some data defined in the profile.This PR proposes a simple mechanism to implement that: introduce a
scripts_data
variable, that can contain any data structure, and will be pushed to the testbed as JSON under the namescripts_data.json
, so its easy for any language to parse that file and access some data.Also, part of that work made me realize some inconsistencies and quirks in the code, which are what the two extra commits are for.
NOTE: as one of the commits renames a variable defined in the profiles, this PR needs to merge at the same time as this MP
