A HOST_TESTED row's workflow has to run on push or pull_request, and
the lint read the events of its `on:` and nothing under them. A
`paths:` or `paths-ignore:` under the event keeps the workflow from
the pushes that change the other files, a `branches:` or
`branches-ignore:` from the pushes to the other branches, and a push
with only a `tags:` or `tags-ignore:` runs on no branch push at all.
So a workflow whose push and pull_request each carried such a filter
counted as running on every change, and a host test behind one kept
its row green and its paths covered.
workflow_filters reads what is under each event of the `on:` block
mapping: each `branches:`, `branches-ignore:`, `tags:`, `tags-ignore:`,
`paths:` or `paths-ignore:` key at the event's own level, by name; a
value on the event's line (`push: {branches: [main]}`); and a key
with one stray quote under the event. Each is a filter the lint does
not read: the simple rule, fail closed. The manifest carries no
branch (a component's record is its srcrev, source, files and
recipes), so a `branches:` naming the default branch is read as any
other filter, and a `paths:` is not matched against the row's covered
paths. host_row_problems counts a push or a pull_request only with no
filter under it, and lists a workflow whose every push and
pull_request carries one as "every push or pull_request in its own
on: carries a filter (push: paths-ignore)", with each event's filters
named. One push or pull_request with no filter is enough: the
workflow then runs on every change, through that event. "Runs" for
a row's workflow now means: on a push or a pull_request with no
filter under it, in a step on every run of the workflow, in a job
whose needs are met on every run, on a line of run text whose
failure ends the step. The HOST_TESTED comment and the docstrings
say so. A key deeper than the event's own level (a dispatch's
inputs) is no filter, and an `on:` list or scalar carries none.
The workflows the rows name, forgectrl's and forgeext's build.yml,
run on `push: branches: [main]` with a plain `pull_request:`, as
grblhal-glowforge's does: the pull request keeps each row counting,
and the push to main is the push that moves a pin.
Proof: forgetest-ci "Unit tests" (`python -B -m unittest discover -s
tests -v` in forgetest): test_manifest.py runs 41 tests, OK, on
Ubuntu 24.04 with python 3.12, in a private PID namespace. The new
case test_a_push_or_pull_request_under_a_filter_runs_on_not_every_change:
workflow_filters reads a `branches:` on the push with a plain
pull_request beside it; a `branches-ignore:` and a `paths-ignore:` on
the push with a `paths:` on the pull_request; `tags:`; `tags-ignore:`;
a value on the event's line and a stray-quoted key under the event as
filters the lint does not read; a dispatch's `inputs: paths:` as
none; and an `on:` flow list, scalar and block list as none. Through
host_row_problems, a push to main with every pull request passes, a
push with `paths-ignore:` alone is listed, and a push under
`branches:` with a pull_request under `paths:` is listed, each with
its filters named. The CI_YML fixture of the two older cases moves
its `paths:` from the push to the pull_request, so the workflow
still runs on every push and still names the second harness in a
filter alone. Controls: the parent, 9c97f05, with the new test file
errors the new case at workflow_filters (errors=1); host_row_problems
on the parent, and on e1d1c1b, passes a fixture whose push carries
`paths-ignore:` alone, which the change lists with "push:
paths-ignore". The coverage lint on the tree manifest from the recipe
pins, with meta-openglow at 1e163bd on scarthgap, reports 0 uncovered
paths, 0 empty entries, 0 host-tested row problems, 43 tests.
pyflakes reports no undefined name.
Acceptance: none. forgetest is dev-only and in no fingerprint; the
lint runs in CI, not in a campaign, and 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.
