The Avocado team is proud to present another release: Avocado 93.0,
AKA "The Book of Eli", is now available!

Release documentation: Avocado 93.0 <http://avocado-framework.readthedocs.io/en/93.0/>_

Users/Test Writers

  • The dict_variants plugin now allows the configuration of the
    keys that will determine the variant ID.

  • The legacy runner (--test-runner=runner) is being dismantled.
    In this release, the following features have removed:

    1. The PYTHON_UNITTEST test type

    2. The --external-runner feature and its underlying test type.

    3. The ROBOT test type

    4. The GOLANG test type

  • When using the Job API, test suites can be enabled or disabled.
    Having a disabled test suite means it won't be executed. This eases
    the creation of custom jobs where the user can choose to run a
    subset of suites.

Bug Fixes

  • The :mod:avocado.core.job code was using the root logger, instead
    of the logger at the avocado namespace.

  • The automatic status server was very prone to failures due to
    AF_UNIX's limitation on the length of paths, because it was
    created inside a job's result directory. Now it's created on the
    base system temporary directory, which makes it very hard to exceed
    the path length limit.

  • The :mod:avocado.utils.vmimage library received the following
    improvements:

    1. Ubuntu's provider now properly handles the version number when it
      compares versions with trailing zeroes.

    2. Ubuntu and OpenSUSE providers can now fetch the best (latest)
      version available when no version is given.

    3. OpenSUSE provider will now use OpenStack images starting from
      version 15.3, due to the other images having been discontinued.

  • The variants.json file, saved at the jobdata directory
    inside a job's result directory, now takes into consideration the
    possible multiple suites in a job. The files are now named after
    named with a numeric suffix and, if a name was given to the suite, a
    name suffix as well.

  • The serialization of the job configuration file, also saved in the
    jobdata directory, has been updated to support set data
    types.

  • avocado replay executions with a --show (which takes a set
    of builtin loggers) now work properly due to the previous fix.

  • Various fixes to the runnable-run interface behavior of all
    shipped runners (detected as part of an improvement in functional
    test coverage).

  • When using the Job API, some code paths would still resort to using
    the legacy runner.

  • nrunner based jobs (the default) can now run from Python egg
    based deployments (meaning zero installation steps are required).

  • The resultsdb plugin is now pinned to a known working version
    due to a broken release.

  • Test parameters given with the command line argument -p are now
    internally converted into variants values. This fixes the issue
    with those parameters not being displayed in the results.html
    files.

Utility APIs

  • The new method
    avocado.utils.network.interfaces.NetworkInterface.is_bond that
    allows users to check if a given interface is a bonding device.

Misc Changes

  • A few portability improvements for macOS systems.

  • Misc documentation improvements.

Internal Changes

  • The RPM packages can now be built without the execution of tests.

  • The spawner plugin interface now define two different types of
    implementations, with the new one being a spawner that is capable of
    deploying itself to the environments that will run the tasks.

  • Avocado is now also being tested under Python 3.11.

  • Various CI improvements.
