tests/acceptance: Automatic set -cpu to the test vm
This introduces a new feature to the functional tests: automatic setting of the '-cpu VALUE' option to the created vm if the test is tagged with 'cpu:VALUE'. The 'cpu' property is made available to the test object as well. For example, for a simple test as: def test(self): """ :avocado: tags=cpu:host """ self.assertEqual(self.cpu, "host") self.vm.launch() The resulting QEMU evocation will be like: qemu-system-x86_64 -display none -vga none \ -chardev socket,id=mon,path=/var/tmp/avo_qemu_sock_pdgzbgd_/qemu-1135557-monitor.sock \ -mon chardev=mon,mode=control -cpu host Reviewed-by: Cleber Rosa <crosa@redhat.com> Tested-by: Cleber Rosa <crosa@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Willian Rampazzo <willianr@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Wainer dos Santos Moschetta <wainersm@redhat.com> Message-Id: <20210430133414.39905-2-wainersm@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Cleber Rosa <crosa@redhat.com>
