[PATCH] tests/migration-test: Check error-desc after pre-switch cancel tests
Posted by Peter Xu 3 months, 1 week ago 
error-desc should present on dest QEMU after migration failed on dest when
exit-on-error is set to FALSE.  Check the error message.

While I was running more tests I found this assertion might still trigger
but only randomly.  I think it might be caused by some migration failure
path not setting the error string even if it'll fail the migration.  I'll
unqueuing this one for now and put this into backlog as of now..

I think it would be beneficial to also check if there even is
"error-desc". That way if the "error-desc" is missing, it fails on
assert with SIGABRT instead of SIGSEGV inside qdict_get_str().

With this change you can add my:

IMHO it doesn't matter on how the test would crash.

I would go ahead and merge a test patch if it had both lines, definitely
not a huge deal.

However strictly speaking, qdict_get_str() is actually pretty efficient to
make sure both that exists && is_string when used in testings. Would you
agree?

I definitely still want your R-b one way or another!

It is an efficient way, I just thought the less efficient might be a
little bit easier to deduce why the test failed. But if nobody else
opposes, you can also keep it as proposed,

and also add my R-b.

Thanks.  I wanted to have this coverage asap, so I collected it for -rc.
