Thank you very much for your quick help. The "lava-server manage jobs fail"
command takes care of clearing the "current job" field of the associated
device, do I understand that right?

Hi folks,
We at Fairphone have developed a variant of the Tradefed-runner in LAVA
test-definitions that is meant to run complete Tradefed test suites on
multiple devices by making use of the shards feature in Tradefed. The
runner is currently in “staging” state. We still want to share now what
we are using and developing to see if there are more people with
interest in it. Feedback on the general approach taken would also be
much appreciated.
On the higher level, our setup works as follows:
• Use MultiNode to allocate multiple devices for one test submission.
• One “master” runs the Tradefed shell, similarly as in the
existing runner.
• The master connects to the workers’ DUTs via adb TCP/IP. These
DUTs are transparently available to Tradefed just in the same way as
USB-attached devices.
• Workers ensure that their respective DUTs remain accessible to
the master, especially in case of WLAN disconnects, reboots, crashes, etc.
Major features of our runner:
• Support for Android CTS, GTS and STS.
• Test run split into “shards” in Tradefed to run tests in parallel
on multiple devices. This allows for a major speedup when running large
test suites.
• Tradefed retry: Rerun test suites until the failure count stabilizes.
• No adb root required.
• Based on the original Tradefed runner, having at least parts of
the common code moved to python libraries.
Current limitations:
• Test executions are not always stable. This needs further
investigation.
• Test executions produce more false positives than local test
runs. This needs further investigation but is at least partially due to
using adb TCP/IP instead of a local USB connection.
• Android VTS not implemented (would require only minor changes)
Our current changes have been pushed to the tradefed_shards_with_retry
topic on Gerrit[1]. Besides the two major changes to add MultiNode adb
support and then Tradefed support on top of that, a couple of smaller
changes that could be useful on their own have also been pushed.
We are looking forward to your feedback and to joint efforts in
automating and speeding up Tradefed test executions!
Best regards,
Karsten for the Fairphone Software Team

Thanks for pointing that out, Neil. I got the point, that the Apache

Thanks, the CLI operations are very helpful for automating the process.
However, the docs say that all devices in "Reserved" state have to have
their "current job" cleared. I can use "lava-server manage devices details"
to check whether this field is actually set. There is no command to
modify it, though. Seems like using the Python API is the only way to go
here, right? The same applies to setting "Running" jobs to "Cancelled".

Hello everyone,
I am trying to implement a backup and restore routine for our LAVA server, based on the documentation:
https://validation.linaro.org/static/docs/v2/admin-backups.html#restoring-a…
The creation of the backup is straight-forward. I have problems with the order of the proposed restore steps, though.
Step 6 is "Stop all LAVA services". However, afterwards in step 7 it says "Make sure that this instance actually works by browsing a few (empty) instance pages." This should obviously be done before, right?
The actual problem is that step 9 says "In the Django administration interface, take all devices which are not Retired into Offline". This cannot be an ordering issue, because the LAVA services actually must not be available during these modifications. How do I use the Django admin interface, while all LAVA services are stopped?
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

Dear all,
I have a question when use lava.
Background:
1. I have only one hardware device with android.
2. I have a device-type jinja2 file start with "{% extends 'base-fastboot.jinja2' %}"
Here, I use "adb reboot bootloader" to enter in to fastboot.
3. I have another device-type jinja2 file start with "{% extends 'base-uboot.jinja2' %}"
Here, I use "fastboot 0" in uboot to enter in to fastboot.
Now, we have a scenario which need to test with above both methods, but we just have one device, if possible user can define some parameter in job.yaml, then can switch between the two methods just for one device? Any suggestion?
Thanks,
Larry

Hi,
I'm trying to experiment with 'interactive' test shell. The docs are here:
https://master.lavasoftware.org/static/docs/v2/actions-test.html#index-1
As I understand the feature should work in the following way (the docs
aren't very clear):
1. wait for one of the prompts
2. send command
3. match the result to regex (pass or fail)
However when I try it out, there is no wait for prompt. LAVA
immediately sends the command and adds value from prompts to list of
expressions to match. Is this correct? Example job:
https://staging.validation.linaro.org/scheduler/job/245886#L53
LAVA sends the command even before the board starts booting.
Any help is appreciated.

Hello,
I have a LAVA job with long running test, so I put a timeout of 180
minutes in the test action itself[1].
However, but the job times out after 3989 seconds (~ 66 min)[2].
Looking closer at the "Timing" section of the job, I see that
lava-test-shell indeed has a timeout of ~3989 seconds, but I have no
idea where that number comes from. That's neither the 10 minutes in the
default "timeouts" section, nor the 180 minutes I put in the "test"
action.
Hmm, after almost pushing send on this, I now seeing that in the
"timeouts" sections, the whole job has a timeout of 70 minutes. So, I
assume that means an absolute max, even if one of the actions puts a
higher timeout?
So I guess this email now turns into a feature request rather than a bug
report.
Maybe LAVA should show a warning at the top of the job if any of the
actions has a timeout that's longer than the job timeout.
