emission_seen, the two peaks the test reads from sysfs at every poll
and the count of polls that read both, was written inside emission_ok
after the three checks of the burn's result. A burn the daemon reports
dark fails at the first of them (Context.check raises), and a burn that
ends in a wizard error, a timeout or an abort never reaches emission_ok.
On each of those paths the record kept the daemon's word alone, where
the test's own reading is the one worth comparing with it. burn() now
records emission_seen, and logs it, in the finally of its run_check, so
it is on record however the burn ends. emission_ok keeps its checks, in
their order.
The check that the tube current read over HV_ON from here had no case
that could fail it: the one negative case reads both attributes at 0
and stops at the LASER_ON check, which comes first. A new case reads
the LASER_ON count nonzero and the tube current at 0, and fails on the
tube current.
Proof: tests/test_setup_burns.py, the Unit tests step of
forgetest-ci.yml (python -B -m unittest discover -s tests), 23 tests OK
on Windows with python 3.14 and on Ubuntu 24.04 with python 3.12, with
tests/test_setup_dark.py (20 OK):
test_a_burn_whose_tube_current_the_test_never_saw_rise_fails
(cnc/laser_on_sampled 118, pic/hv_current 0: Failed "the tube current
never read over 30 from here", the settings as found);
test_a_dark_burn_fails_and_still_restores finds emission_seen at 118
and 431 beside the dark result; the aborted burn's record carries
emission_seen too. run_test keeps the Run of a test that fails.
Negative controls on scratch copies: the tube-current check made
vacuous (True or ...) fails the new case (Failed not raised);
setup_burns.py as it was fails the dark case (no emission_seen) and the
aborted case. pyflakes reports no undefined name.
Acceptance: setup.focus's fingerprint moves (setup_burns.py's shared
text); no other test moves (source_sha compared before and after).
Against the campaign this series already needs, that adds no run:
850498f moved all 43 once.
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.
