The docstring of the case that holds the refusal said that the
manifest check alone passes a bundle truncated after the unreadable
member, and a comment on the member's directory said that it sorts
after license.manifest. Neither is the mechanism. tar reports an error
that it cannot open the member, skips it, writes every other member
and the end of the archive, and exits nonzero only at its end, a
status the former pipeline lost. Where the member sorts does not
matter. The docstring now says that tar skips the member and the
manifest check alone passes the bundle without it, and the comment is
gone.
Proof: forgetest-ci "Unit tests" (`python -B -m unittest discover -s
tests -v` in forgetest), on Ubuntu 24.04 with python 3.12 as an
unprivileged user: test_image.py's PackLicensesTests, 5 tests OK. With
the pack script as it was before 03146a1, the case fails with the
member under zlib/ and with it under aaa/ (exit status 0 both times);
with the script as it is, both placements pass. At the shell, on a
fixture tree with the unreadable member under aaa/ and then under
zlib/, the script as it was exits 0 both times after "Cannot open:
Permission denied", writes a bundle that holds every other member
(zzz/generic_Last, which sorts last, included), and removes the tree.
Text only, so no negative control applies to the change itself.
pyflakes reports no undefined name.
Acceptance: none. tests/ are in no fingerprint.
forgetest - the ForgeFIRM release acceptance tool
The daemon behind http://<machine>:8090/ on the dev image: runs the
acceptance catalog against the machine, keeps the append-only result log,
decides which results still apply to the image that is running, exports
the release artifact scripts/release.sh gates on, and serves the bench
diagnostics page. The contract - catalog, campaigns, fingerprints,
inheritance, the gate, the coverage rule - is
the Acceptance page of the documentation site.
Run the host tests
cd forgetest
python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -v
Run the daemon on a workstation (against a mock or a manifest file)
FORGETEST_DATA=/tmp/ft FORGETEST_MANIFEST=../tree-manifest.json \
FORGECTRL_URL=http://<machine> python3 -m forgetest --port 8090
scripts/manifest-from-tree.py produces tree-manifest.json from the recipe
pins; the coverage lint is python3 -m forgetest.coverage --manifest ....

Adding a test
Register it in the subsystem module under forgetest/suite/ with
@test(...): id subsystem.name, kind, hardware, mode (the controller
mode the test needs; the runner switches to it first), covers,
requires, always, steps. The body gets a Context (log, check, fail,
prompt, confirm, instruct, sleep, evidence, forgectrl, sysfs,
grbl, takeover). Return normally for PASS, raise runner.Failed for
FAIL. Then run the unit tests and the coverage lint.
