2.2 Release notes

  • All new test config parser.

  • Variable references are now 'expressions'.

    • In addition to variables, they can contain math and functions.
      • 'hello {{world * 2}}'
      • Assuming 'world' has a value of 5, would be: 'hello 10'
  • Iterations (formerly sub-strings) can now contain more than one variable.
    This results in all combinations of the variables being used.

    • 'Greetings: [~hello {{name}}{{num}}~,]'
    • With name: ['bob', 'janet'] and num: [1,2] would result in:
    • 'Greetings: hello bob1, hello bob2, hello janet1, hello janet2'
  • per test permissions settings

    mytest:
      group: secret_group
      umask: '007'
  • Backwards compatibility breaks

    • All duplicate keys in configs are now detected and cause errors.
    • Default values may no longer be specified using '{{foo?}}'
    • Dashes are no longer allowed in Pavilion variable names.
      • '{{name-len}}'
    • You can no longer have nested 'sub-strings' (now called iterations).
    • Not everything can be escaped in Pavilion strings anymore. This is now
      limited to all normal python escapes
      (https://docs.python.org/2.0/ref/strings.html),
      plus '[', '{', and '~'.
    • The results section is now 'result_parse'
    • Result parsers plugins now have explicit argument default and validation settings,
      and the _check_args method must return the modified argument dictionary.
      (rather than None before)
    mytest:
      variables:
        unit_base: 100
      result_parse:
        regex:
           speed: 
             regex: 'speed (\d+)'
      result_evaluate:
        speed_normalized: "speed / {{unit_base}}"
        another_thing: '"some don''t string"'
    • build.source_location has changed.
    mytest:
      build:
        source_path: mytest.zip
        source_url: http://github.com/hpc/mytest/latest.zip
        source_download: latest
    
  • Build are now built in their final location, rather than in a tmp
    location. This fixes the issues with symlinks (as they no longer
    move, so they can be absolute), and issues with non-relocatable
    builds.

  • New config keys:
