CAPI testcases

Looks like ibm-capi/cxl-tests repository is not open to all, it is asking for username/password. cloning is failing. Then it will be difficult to run this tests for all the users.

[philippe56]

You are right. I am working at open sourcing cxl-tests.

[pridhiviraj]

All the systems may not be having capi card, instead of raising the error, just print a message says like "No CAPI card, skipping the tests..." and just return it without running the tests(i.e skip the tests if there is no CAPI card). or you can catch this OpTestError exception in your four tests and return there if test got this exception.

The PCI device presence tests *should* catch any case where there's meant to be a FPGA CAPI card but there isn't, so skipping the test here should be okay.

Hi @philippe56
Can you pleas convert this to new test framework, Let me or @stewart-ibm know if you face any issues while converting it.

Thanks

@pridhiviraj do you have access to a system with an appropriate CAPI card for this?

If so, maybe you could do some conversion of the test?

[pridhiviraj]

@stewart-ibm i don't have the system which is having CAPI card in handy, I will check with @PavamanSubramaniyam for system availability. I can do the conversion of test.

[philippe56]

Sorry for the late answer. I have been diverted by management from working on this in the past week.

I can do the conversion and test it. I have access to a test system with an appropriate CAPI card.

Also, I have been granted company clearance for opening the repository ibm-capi/cxl-tests.

Ahh great! The good news is that things should be much easier to develop for now. :)

@philippe56 You have any implemented patches for this with respect to new framework?

[philippe56]

@pridhiviraj No I have not. My priorities have changed again, and I could not keep the promise I made above. I would appreciate if you could help porting this branch to the new framework, reusing the test code in https://github.com/ibm-capi/cxl-tests, that does exist now.

[pridhiviraj]

@philippe56 Sure, will do the required porting in my free time, and need a system with OpenCAPI card to test it. So i will ping you for system for some time.
