ScottW514 609ae561bf forgetest: forgectrl's test scratch trees leave the repository, and the two still written are ignored
forgetest/cool-flow-test/, forgetest/super-test/ and
forgetest/cool-fanwrite-test/ (46 files) are the scratch trees that
forgectrl's cool_flow_test and super_test, and the fan-write test that
cool_flow_test took in, write in the directory they run from: fake
sysfs attributes, a cooling.state verdict, an empty dev/glowforge.
447f902 committed them beside a change to suite/exthost.py that needs
none of them. Nothing reads them: forgetest.bb fetches forgetest/LICENSE,
forgetest/forgetest/, forgetest/forgetest.init and scripts/bench/, no
manifest component holds them, and no other file of the repository
names them.

The three trees go. forgetest/.gitignore ignores the two that the
forgectrl tests still write, so a run from this directory cannot stage
them again.

Proof: git grep finds the three directory names nowhere else in the
repository. forgetest-ci "Unit tests" (`python -B -m unittest discover
-s tests`) on this tree with meta-openglow beside it, on Ubuntu 24.04
with python 3.12 in a private PID namespace: 357 tests OK, with
test_image.py's account-render case skipped there (it makes a namespace
through sudo -n); test_image.py on its own outside the namespace: 29
tests OK. pyflakes reports no undefined name. The coverage lint on the
tree manifest from the recipe pins reports 0 uncovered paths, 0
host-tested row problems, 43 tests.

Acceptance: none. forgetest is dev-only, and the trees are outside
forgetest.bb's sources, every manifest component and every layer
content hash.

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 ....

Environment

Variable Default Purpose
FORGETEST_DATA /data/forgetest results.jsonl, bench.jsonl, token, export/
FORGETEST_MANIFEST /etc/forgefirm-manifest.json the image manifest
FORGETEST_PORT, FORGETEST_HOST 8090, 0.0.0.0 listener
FORGETEST_BENCH_DIR /usr/share/forgetest/bench the installed bench scripts
FORGETEST_BENCH_DATA <FORGETEST_DATA>/bench passed to bench tools: where they keep their data files (with GF_HOST=127.0.0.1 and the panel token in GF_TOKEN)
FORGETEST_MARKER /run/forgetest.active takeover marker
FORGECTRL_URL, FORGECTRL_TOKEN_FILE http://127.0.0.1, /data/forgefirm/panel.token forgectrl client (HTTP; the token authorizes writes from the board)
FORGECTRL_TLS_URL https://127.0.0.1 forgectrl over HTTPS (self-signed, unverified), for the login test
GF_SYSFS_ROOT /sys/glowforge/ kernel module sysfs
GRBL_HOST, GRBL_PORT 127.0.0.1, 23 Grbl TCP

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.
