[libvirt] [PATCH] virsh: Make self-test failures noisy
Posted by Eric Blake 5 years, 1 month ago
In local testing, I accidentally introduced a self-test failure,
and spent way too much time debugging it. Make sure the testsuite
log includes some hint as to why command option validation failed.

I think ^this one can be dropped, if there was an allocation failure, we have
much bigger problems and it's likely it will fail again which vshError will
transitively try to do if you look at vshOutputLogFile for example.

The commentary below actually gives me better idea about the error than the
error itself, can we use that text instead?

Agreed. We can't use assert() in libvirt.so, but virsh has other places
where it fits, so I'll switch this one to assert.

Switched to 'does not list argv option last'

assert() is for debug-builds only, isn't it? Did you mean abort() ?

Still the construction proposed in the patch looks much better than
either of those.

Also for local output the printing is (partially) done into a file
descriptor, so you'll at least get the string 'error' printed.

Note also that virsh uses exit(EXIT_FAILURE) on allocation failure, so
neither abort nor assert should be used.

I think the appropriate solution is vshErrorOOM though, which by the way
is called also if the allocation in vshError fails.
