Hello Lava Users, We are creating queries in LAVA and adding multiple conditions to query.For example in our yaml job definition we have included os field in metadata section which will have different values.For example following is the metadata section for 2 different jobs Job1: metadata: description: '"Build SiemensIPC-327E target with latest build"' os: Debian device: imx6q Build_ID: QA-BUILD-F0150 Job2: metadata: description: '"Build SiemensIPC-327E target with latest build"' os: Ubuntu device: imx6q Build_ID: QA-BUILD-F0150 Now with queries I am trying to just filter out job running with Build_ID( QA-BUILD-F0150 ) and on only os debian. Entity Field Operator Value namedtestattribute Build_ID exact QA-BUILD-F0150 namedtestattribute os exact Debian When I am creating queries with above information, as a user when I run the query the query results will just list Job1 information but at present in LAVA both the jobs are getting listed. Is this the expected behavior?The LAVA server version used is 2018.5.post1 release. Thanks, Hemanth.

Configuration management / Salt / documentation

by Tim Jaacks

Hello everyone, is there any documentation on how Linaro uses Salt for configuring LAVA nodes? I know the infrastructure code is hosted at https://git.linaro.org/lava/lava-lab.git, but since I am new to Salt (and configuration management in general), I would love to have some kind of starting point. Where is this repository checked out? Who applies the defined Salt states and when? Are there any automatic processes happening when someone commits to the repository (e.g. changing a device type or health check job)? What is Linaro's workflow in these cases?

x86 based boot

by Hemanth K V

Hello Lava-Users, I have UEFI based x86 target board which I want to connect to LAVA and execute tests. When I go through https://validation.linaro.org/static/docs/v2/integrate-uefi.html it specifies different mechanism available.I am confused here as I am not completely clear on differences between systems mentioned. If I just know UEFI implementations method of target is it enough to select which method can be used for booting. What are the things I need to know before concluding the method to be used for booting x86 based target board? Thanks, Hemanth.

Is LAVA suitable for us?

by magnus＠minimum.se

Hey, Where I work, we've been using LAVA since 2014 to test our in-house Linux distribution. Our devices are typically "low-end" devices with 128 to 256 MB RAM and up to 512 MB NAND flash. We use LAVA to test our BSPs, e.g lots of connectivity/interface/IO tests. We also use it for stability-testing and performance testing (like measuring the application context switch time or Ethernet TX rates). For a while, there has been a growing concern within our team that LAVA might not be ideal for our testing needs. Right now, the team is discussing if we should drop LAVA and use something else. There is even talks about developing our own test framework. I personally like the idea behind LAVA but also agree that it has been a bumpy road these past 4 years. Due to various bugs and missing features, we've several times been forced to upgrade to an unstable version of LAVA just to get normal operations working. Two times we've lost the entire test database because we were unable to recover from a LAVA upgrade. In those cases, it was easier for us to just "start over". Today we use LAVA 2018.02. I've compiled a list that summarize the most pressing issues we've experience with LAVA: 1. Test development is slow. Several members of my team avoids test development because the process of developing a test with LAVA is tedious / very timeconsuming. I think it mostly boils down to making a change, pushing it to a Git repo, submitting a job, running the job and then watching the LAVA job output for result. This will in our environment take several minutes, just to verify a change in a test. I'm aware of the guidelines for making portable tests and I personally think we can be a lot better at it for single-node tests which could enable us to run testscripts on local devices, but we have also quite a number of multinode jobs that we find are difficult to run in any other environment than LAVA. We've also tried using hacksessions to speed up development (e.g you edit the tests on the DUT and then synchronize it back to your host once you're happy). This works quite well, but feels a bit hacky and if the hacksession timeout hits, you lose all your work ;-) 2. Can't test bootloaders. Several of our hardware contain FPGAs and the FPGA images / "firmware" is tightly bundled with the bootloader. In addition to configuring the FPGA, the bootloader also contains in-house developed code for firmware update that we would like to autotest. We have a _lot_ of bootloader variants and we need a way of testing it along with the Linux system. Our current setup is that we manually flash bootloaders in our LAVA lab and then cross our fingers that the Linux system we test on the device is compatible with the bootloader. The ideal situation for us would be to always test the Linux system and the matching bootloader together. Granted, the better solution would be to move away the FPGA loading from the bootloader, but this is a design chosen by our SoC provider and we prefer to keep it. We also manage a "LTS" branch of our Linux distro. We support it for several years and we need to ensure our test setup can test both our "master" branch and our LTS branch. With our current setup, this is not possible because all devices in our lab runs a bootloader that was manually flashed at some arbitrary time. We've considered setting up several hardware of the same type, but with different bootloaders and then let LAVA treat them as different device types. This would work but our lab would fill up fast and the usage of each device would be low. We also tried making jobs that boot a golden Linux system, write the software under test (including bootloader), reboot and run tests. This did work, but required customization per device since the test has to know where to write the bootloader. We would rather put this information into the LAVA device type definition somehow. 3. Can't write to NAND. Our devices are NAND-based and we use UBIFS ontop of UBI. We have not found a way for LAVA to write NAND because the LAVA mechanism that embeds stuff into the rootfs before deployment doesn't support UBIFS. At the moment, we ramboot our devices but we are now at a point where our devices OOM because they don't have enough RAM to fit both the rootfs and running the tests. Our current solution is to split the job into several jobs that each run a smaller amount of tests, but this is less than ideal because it makes our test run slower (we need to reboot) and it is a bit annoying that test results are spread across several jobs. We have our own deployment tool that would be nice to integrate into LAVA as a deployment method. It accepts a kernel, rootfs, DT and bootloader and will write it using TFTP or DFU (USB) depending on target. To avoid forking all of LAVA in order to implement such deploy method, is there any plugin architecture that allows us to install additional boot methods alongside the LAVA packages? I'd love to get your views on these issues and if there is a solution when using LAVA. Best regards, Magnus.

Repeat action block and auto-login issue

by Hemanth K V

Hello Lava-Users, We are running tests on imxqsaberlite target in LAVA .The Lava version that we are using is 2018.4 release. We are facing 2 issues 1.Related to auto_login section in boot action.When we are specifying the username as root in auto_login section sometimes out of 5 tries once the root is getting changed as "oroot" due to which test execution is failing Following is the boot action part of job definition - boot: namespace: nfs_boot repeat: 3 method: u-boot commands: nfs auto_login: login_prompt: 'login:' username: root prompts: - 'root@mx6q:~#' timeout: minutes: 10 Following is the job log output Matched prompt #6: login: Sending username root root mx6q login:root auto-login-action: Wait for prompt ['root@mx6q:~#', 'Login incorrect', 'Login timed out'] (timeout 00:07:24) orot 2.Related to the Repeat action block of LAVA https://validation.linaro.org/static/docs/v2/actions-repeats.html?highlight… We are trying to use repeat action in boot action part of job definition as we want to repeat booting of the target 3 times.Issue we are facing is it is not stopping at the end of 3 iterations of boot and it is continuing till the timeout specified duration of the job. Thanks, Hemanth.

Re: [Lava-users] Running large test suites

Hi Dan, >Here's an example of generating lava templates using jinja2.

I suggest starting simpler using https://pypi.python.org/pypi/jinja2-cli/0.6.0. Thank you, that really helps a lot. We want to trigger the LAVA jobs from Jenkins as well, and we need lots of metadata because the tests will be part of our release notes in the end. So no, this is definitely not more complicated than we need. In fact, this is a very good starting point for us. You should think about adding a chapter to the LAVA documentation about how to generate YAML job submissions via templates. I assume we are not the only ones facing this problem. And I had basically no experience with jinja2 at all before evaluating LAVA, so I would not have come up with the idea of using this mechanism for the job submissions myself.

LAVA test dependencies in jobs

by Anibal Limon

Hi, We are doing boot regression test using (in DB{410,820}c) an Android boot image that contains a ramdisk [1]. We aim to do functional testing in a way that if the basic testing fails the next test definition dosen't run, that's implies dependencies over -test entries in the job [2]. Does LAVA test shell provides this kind of functionality? If not, any idea to achieve this functionality. Regards, Anibal [1] https://validation.linaro.org/scheduler/job/1884978/definition [2] https://validation.linaro.org/scheduler/job/1884978/definition#defline117

Automation & Risk

by Neil Williams

The LAVA software team created a document to summarise the experience, so far, of automating devices for validation and that document formed the basis of a presentation at Linaro Connect in Hong Kong earlier this year by Steve McIntyre. The content has been living inside a wiki within Linaro but there have been delays in making the URL visible to anonymous viewers. I have therefore migrated the content to my blog: https://linux.codehelp.co.uk/automation-and-risk.html A link to the presentation is included. Available under CC BY-SA 3.0 and shortly to appear on planet.debian.org Please share with anyone involved in designing hardware which is likely to end up on your desk for automation support and anyone else who may be interested in the hardware challenges of device automation. A second shorter post on Firmware Best Practices will follow - some of the elements of that document were also covered in the presentation at Connect. -- Neil Williams ============= neil.williams(a)linaro.org http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/

[Lava BBB01 health check problems?!] Wrong Ramdisk Image Format - Ramdisk image is corrupt or invalid

How to handle reboots within tests

by Tim Jaacks

Hello everyone, I have two cases in which I need to reboot my device during tests: 1. Reboot is active part of the test (e.g. store some persistent settings, reboot, check if persistent settings are correctly loaded after reboot) 2. Reboot is triggered and has to be evaluated (e.g. activate watchdog, stop resetting it, wait, check if system reboots automatically) How can I hadle these two cases in LAVA?

NFS mount failures on Debian stretch

by Matt Hart

Hi all, For the boards I am using in my LAVA lab, if I try an NFS job on my jetson-tk1, it fails to mount the filesystem from the debian installed NFS server. http://lava.streamtester.net/scheduler/job/120050 my nfs-kernel-server version is 1:1.3.4-2.1, which was installed with LAVA from Debian Stretch. If I add 'vers=3' to the kernel NFS command line, it mounts the filesystem successfully. http://lava.streamtester.net/scheduler/job/120049 This is being discussed here to make it a default option https://review.linaro.org/#/c/25666/ But really this does seem like there's an issue with the NFS kernel server in Debian Stretch. Has anyone else had this issue? Matt

u-boot devices broken after 2018.4 upgrade, strange u-boot interaction

by Kevin Hilman

Hello, After upgrading to 2018.4 (also tried .5) many of our device-types using base-uboot.jinja2 are broken. While I really like the major improvement to run commands individually, there seems to be some problems and the LAVA output logs are very confusing, showing concatenated strings, etc. Here is an example for an upstream device-type (meson-gxbb-p200), and here is where it starts interacting with u-boot: http://khilman.ddns.net/scheduler/job/15#L336 The "Parsed boot commands" look perfect, and all the commands in black all look good, but notice the commands at the u-boot prompt, they appear to be concatenated, starting right away at the "setenv initrd_high ..." However, observing the commands on the actual serial port (I use conmux, so can observe the serial console interactions directly), I'm not seeing concatenated strings, but the "setenv serverip ..." never shows up, so the TFTP downloads fail, and the job fails. Here's what I see directly on the serial console: Hit Enter or space or Ctrl+C key to stop autoboot -- : 0 gxb_p200_v1# gxb_p200_v1#setenv autoload no gxb_p200_v1#setenv initrd_high 0xffffffff gxb_p200_v1#setenv fdt_high 0xffffffff gxb_p200_v1#dhcp dwmac.c9410000 Waiting for PHY auto negotiation to complete.. done Speed: 100, full duplex BOOTP broadcast 1 BOOTP broadcast 2 DHCP client bound to address 192.168.0.216 (267 ms) gxb_p200_v1#tftp 0x1080000 14/tftp-deploy-5v1wo7fv/kernel/uImage Speed: 100, full duplex Using dwmac.c9410000 device TFTP from server 192.168.0.1; our IP address is 192.168.0.216 Filename '14/tftp-deploy-5v1wo7fv/kernel/uImage'. Load address: 0x1080000 Loading: * TFTP error: 'File not found' (1) Even more interesting is that on the same setup, a beaglebone-black device, using the same base-uboot.jinja2 is working just fine: http://khilman.ddns.net/scheduler/job/1 Any help would be appreciated, I'm thoroughly confused by what's going on here.

QEMU health check apparently not running

I again cancelled it and am now seeing the health check not start (at least no output appears on the job's webspage. Looking at the output.yaml (in /var/lib/lava-server/default/media/job-output/2018/05/23/32 ) I see ... progress output for downloading https://images.validation.linaro.org/kvm/standard/stretch-2.img.gz - {"dt": "2018-05-23T07:39:54.728015", "lvl": "debug", "msg": "[common] Preparing overlay tarball in /var/lib/lava/dispatcher/tmp/32/lava-overlay-aye3n2ke"} - {"dt": - "2018-05-23T07:39:54.728root@stretch:/var/lib/lava-server/default/media/job-output/2018/05/23/32 But none of this appears in http://localhost:8080/scheduler/job/32 and at the head of that page I see the message: Unable to parse invalid logs: This is maybe a bug in LAVA that should be reported. which other logs are best for checking whether this is an error that should be fed back?

Test on Device which doesn't stop at bootloader

by Nikita Gupta

Hi Lava-Users, I have a device 'raspberry-pi' whose boot method doesn't stop at bootloader. I tried removing 'method' from boot-action but then it doesn't accept it as valid test job. Changing of method from u-boot to fastboot or to any other also gives error as not supported boot methods for this device. After device bring up, it gives u-boot interrupt timed-out and job gets incomplete. Is there any way thru which we can run tests on such devices? -- Regards, Nikita Gupta

submit multinode tests via XML-RPC API

by steffen＠volkmann.com

Hi all, I am using the XML-RPC API to submit test jobs from a jenkins server to lava server. The used methode is described here: https://validation.linaro.org/api/help/#scheduler.jobs.submit In the case of multi node tests with first role is 'Server' and second role is "Client", the API returns a list of created job ID's (e.g. [500.0, 500.1]). How can I determine which ID is the 'Server' job and wich ID is the 'Client' job? Best Regards Steffen Volkmann

support bootm and booti from a single device-type

by Kevin Hilman

I'd like a single device-type to list load addrs for booti, bootz, and bootm so it can support all three modes. That seems ok. Next, I'd like the device-dict (not the job parameters) to be able to decide which of those to use. For example, device-A and device-B share this same device-type. device-A runs mainline uboot and can use booti, but device-B runs a vendor uboot, which doesn't support booti, so it needs LAVA to convert the kernel "image" to a "uimage". But the job submitter is not (and should not be) aware which of the devices will be chosen, so the job submitter always submits a job with "kernel_type: image" (Yes, this is similar to the thread started by Corentin[1], but I'm trying to rephrase.) So, device-B needs to put the text_offset in its dict, possibly override some other vars for the vendor uboot (e.g. bootloader_prompt), and that all works swimmingly. However, the problem is that the decision to convert to uimage is made based on job paramaters (e.g. kernel_type == "uimage'[2]). But, that implies that the job *sender* needs to know whether the device to be selected supports booti or bootm, and that defeats the whole goal of LAVA hiding that. The job should just pass in an kernel with "type: image" and the device-dict is the one that should decide whether to convert to a uimage. IOW, is there a way for the device-dict to say "I know I recevied an image of kernel_type=image, but please convert to kernel_type=uimage." ? >From what I can tell by checking the code[2], if kernel_type = "image" and "booti" is in device_params (and it always will be because it's set in the device-type), then a uimage will never be created. For this to work, the device-dict for device-B has to *remove* the booti_*_addr set by the device-type. I suppose that's possible in jinja2, but that seems a bit ugly. I'm hoping there's a cleaner way for the device-dict to say "please force uimage conversion and use bootm. Thanks, Kevin [1] https://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/lava-users/2018-April/000994.html [2] https://github.com/Linaro/lava/blob/master/lava_dispatcher/actions/deploy/p…

Git duplication in test jobs

by Denis HUMEAU

Hello Lava users, I'm coming back with an old question that I think is worth asking again. Here is an example of a test definition from Lava documentation: test: failure_retry: 3 timeout: minutes: 10 name: kvm-basic-singlenode definitions: - repository: git://git.linaro.org/lava-team/lava-functional-tests.git from: git path: lava-test-shell/smoke-tests-basic.yaml name: smoke-tests - repository: http://git.linaro.org/lava-team/lava-functional-tests.git from: git path: lava-test-shell/single-node/singlenode03.yaml name: singlenode-advanced revision: 441b61 In this example, 2 tests are defined, and they're contained in the same git repo. The test overlay will be built by Lava using this type of tree: Lava_session_number/test1/ Lava_session_number/test2/ In each test folder, a git clone will be performed and data will be duplicated. Nowadays, I understand that the trend is to test more in and embedded configurations, and less in nfs configurations. This is what we do for our product validation. Embedded storages are limited, therefore we need to carefully think about our git management: - First strategy: have a single git containing all the tests. In this case size of test overlay may increase dangerously - Second strategy: one git per test. This is not the spirit of a git, but you solve the size issue. The last time we asked the question, more than a year ago, there was no solution or workaround to prevent duplicating the same git in a Lava job. Has the situation changed? If not, I believe it would be great to have a mechanism to store gits no longer in the test folder itself, but in a common repository folder. I know this cannot be done in every case, for example you may have 2 tests on the same git but on a different branch, but this may be an optional feature trigger by a "shared" tag in the job definition. If shared is declared, links to the common repo would be created in the test overlay folder. For example: test: failure_retry: 3 timeout: minutes: 10 name: kvm-basic-singlenode definitions: - repository: git://git.linaro.org/lava-team/lava-functional-tests.git from: git shared: yes path: lava-test-shell/smoke-tests-basic.yaml name: smoke-tests - repository: http://git.linaro.org/lava-team/lava-functional-tests.git from: git shared: yes path: lava-test-shell/single-node/singlenode03.yaml name: singlenode-advanced What do you think? Am I the only one needing this, are you aware of a better solution? Best regards, Denis

Installing LAVA from the git repos

by Robert Marshall

Hi Our CIP VM's LAVA install [1] is broken by the 2018 version that's just appeared in stretch-backports, it would be helpful for us if we could move more slowly to new versions - are there any instructions on how to install from git? the INSTALL file is a bit empty...

JobError / Job stuck in "Canceling" state

by Tim Jaacks

Hello everyone, I added an email notification to a test job but forgot to configure an SMTP server first. The job reported: "JobError: Your job cannot terminate cleanly." Afterwards nothing happened. The job was still running, even after all timeouts had been passed, so I tried to cancel it. Now the job remains in "Cancelling" state and I have no idea why and how to fix this. Any hints?

Lava test Job key/value collection

by Niu, Deli

Hi, I am using Lava as our automation test infrastructure now. Now we are trying find all key words collection in Jobs. For example: timeouts: job: minutes: 30 action: minutes: 30 priority: medium visibility: public actions: - deploy: timeout: minutes: 30 to: docker os: debian packages: [python] key word to and os, its value is docker and debian here. Maybe there are different value for these ker words in another jobs. We just want to find all these possible value for these key word in Lava. Could anyone kindly provide some method and configuration file/document to find this efficiently? Thanks in advance. Thanks, Deli

Exchange data between DUT and LXC without multinode

by Tim Jaacks

Hello everybody, I have some testcases which need a remote network connection to the DUT. I already managed to implement this using an LXC container as part of a multinode job. Example: Check whether a telnet server is running on the DUT. Implementation: * DUT and LXC are deployed and booted as two roles in a multinode job * DUT sends its IP address to LXC via the multinode API (lava-send) and then waits for a signal (lava-wait) * LXC reads the IP address (lava-wait, lava_multi_node_cache.txt), tries a telnet connection to DUT (lava-test-case) and then sends a signal to DUT (lava-send) * DUT and LXC are shut down Now I read that LXC containers can be used in a singlenode job context as well, using the "namespace" attribute. I tried this and got the LXC container running along with my DUT, without the need of a multinode job. However, the multinode API cannot be used in this case, obviously. Is there another possibility to submit the DUT's IP address to the LXC?

Callback results truncated

by Loys Ollivier

Hi all! I am working on writing LAVA test definitions and using the callback method to send test results to kernelCI. I noticed a sort of bug (?) when the test definitions are reporting a lot of elements. The job finishes and the callback gets triggered before the end of the log parsing. I think the callback method is not waiting for the parser to finish before sending the event. The callback output is then missing some test results. I made a simple test script that reports 300 test elements and returns. I can see in the LAVA log that they are all detected. But in the callback object there is around 80 test results. If I add a sleep (15 seconds) to hold the script before returning, the callback has the 300 test results bundled in the json. Did anyone experienced this before ? Thanks ! -- Loys OLLIVIER Baylibre

devicedict: differentiate vendor and mainline uboot

by Corentin Labbe

Hello I want to introduce a devicedict parameter for differentiate mainline/vendor uboot. For example, amlogic boards could work with both, but thet have some differences like uboot prompt. So for example I have modified lava_scheduler_app/tests/device-types/meson-gxl-s905x-khadas-vim.jinja2 like this: +{% if use_vendor_uboot %} {% set bootloader_prompt = bootloader_prompt|default('kvim#') %} +{% endif %} Note that my way is to assume that mainline uboot is the default. But since non-amlogic boards (imx6q-sabrelite for example) will need the same way for differentiate, having an agreement on the name could be usefull. Does use_vendor_uboot is good for you ? Regards

Deadlock in scheduler

by Quentin Schulz

Hi all, I've encountered a deadlock in my LAVA server with the following scheme. I have an at91rm9200ek in my lab that got submitted a lot of multi-node jobs requesting an other "board" (a laptop of type dummy-ssh). All of my other boards in the lab have received the same multi-node jobs requesting the same and only laptop. I had to take the at91rm9200ek out of the lab because it was behaving. However, LAVA is still scheduling multi-node jobs on the laptop which requires the at91rm9200ek as the other part of the job, while its status is clearly Maintenance. Now, until I put the at91rm9200ek back in the lab, all my boards are reserved and scheduling for a multi-node job and thus, my lab is basically dead. Let me know if I can be of any help debugging this thing or testing a possible fix. I'd have a look at the scheduler but you, obviously knowing the code base way better than I do, might have a quick patch on hand. Best regards, Quentin

LAVA Notifications

by Conrad Djedjebi

Hi everyone, I am writing this email in order to have your opinion on the following : I am trying to use LAVA Notifications in my LAVA instance. I used the following template in one of my LAVA Test Job Definition files : notify: recipients: - to: method: email email: conrad.djedjebi(a)linaro.org criteria: status: complete verbosity: verbose compare: query: name: OPTEE_xtest_Jobs username: admin In that template, OPTEE_xtest_Jobs is the name of a query (testjob query) and admin is the user who owns that query. The query is listing all the completed jobs of that kind (I mean that the job I am currently running will be listed in the query OPTEE_xtest_Jobs). But each time my LAVA job is completed, I am not getting any email notification. In my user profil (my user name is conrad in the instance of LAVA I am working on), I already provided an email. So even if I used the following template, I should have get an email notification : notify: recipients: - to: method: email user: conrad criteria: status: complete verbosity: verbose compare: query: name: OPTEE_xtest_Jobs username: admin Is there a point I missed? If anyone has some advices to give me in order to get the notifications work, I would appreciate. regards,

Re: [Lava-users] [Lava-announce] Merging the LAVA code source

by Zoran S

> lava-server and lava-dispatcher have been merged into a single source repository - lava If you ask me, this is the (very) questionable decision. Indeed!? lava-server is the front-end manager of the whole Lava test environment, while lava-dispatcher is the back-end. Connected/splitted by ZMQ protocol. And... They should be separately maintained, since they represent (very) different things. Essentially, they do (very) different tasks. They are, after all, apples and oranges. In other words, if you update/buy advanced/more expensive apples, you also force testers to update for nuthin'/buy for the loss the same oranges, they had before?! Is it the wise decision???

LAVA device tags

by Conrad Djedjebi

Good morning everyone, I am looking for few guidelines while using device tags in LAVA. The following link on LAVA Documentation's webpage explains how to use tags: https://staging.validation.linaro.org/static/docs/v2/developing-tests.html *However, once the tags are created, how to assign them to specific devices ?* I created tags in the scheduler app, but I am not finding any option in the web page of LAVA to assign a specific tag to a specific device. I saw many devices using tags in LAVA LAB. I hope the engineers who set up those devices can give me advice. If anyone else has some ideas about the trick around setting up those tags, I would appreciate. regards,

Notify callback section causing health check to fail

by Robert Marshall

I had a notification section as follows notify: criteria: status: complete verbosity: verbose callback: url: http://localhost:8080/scheduler/job/{ID} method: POST token: mytoken content-type: json dataset: results recipients: - to: method: email email: address(a)site.org largely copying that from other examples as experiments. I've been seeing as I changed other parts of the health check that it was failing - timing out when booting the kernel. If I remove the callback section so notify: criteria: status: complete verbosity: verbose recipients: - to: method: email email: address(a)site.org then the health check consistently works. Is there some side effect going on here - or is my callback section causing the error, that localhost url should be ok. I'd expect it to always fail if there's a problem with it? Robert

Installing LAVA-2018.2

by ankit gupta

Hi All, I have Debian 9(stretch) installed on my system and I want to install LAVA 2018.2 (server as well as the dispatcher), I used "*deb https://images.validation.linaro.org/production-repo <https://images.validation.linaro.org/production-repo> stretch-backports main*" repository for this. But it only installing LAVA 2017.7 version and it's only showing LAVA-server version 2018.2 in the upgrade but not LAVA-dispatcher-2018.2. Please suggest do I need to use some different repository for LAVA-dispatcher-2018.2? Thanks, Ankit
