Step Classes

class tmt.steps.Action(*, order: int = 50, **kwargs: Any)

Bases: Phase, MultiInvokableCommon

A special action performed during a normal step.

Initialize name and relation with the parent object

Prepare the workdir for provided id / directory path or generate a new workdir name if workdir=True given. Store command line context and options for future use if context is provided.

cli_invocation: 'tmt.cli.CliInvocation' | None = None

class tmt.steps.ActionTask(logger: Logger, phase: Action, **kwargs: Any)

Bases: GuestlessTask[None]

A task to run an action

property name: str

A name of this task.

Left for child classes to implement, because the name depends on the actual task.

phase: Action
run(logger: Logger) → None

Perform the task.

Called once from go(). Subclasses of GuestlessTask should implement their logic in this method rather than in go() which is already provided. If your task requires different handling in go, it might be better derived directly from Task.

class tmt.steps.DefaultNameGenerator(known_names: list[str])

If user did not set any name for one or more phases, tmt will assign them a “dummy” name default-N. This class wraps the generator.

Generator of names for that do not have any.

Parameters:

property plugins_in_standalone_mode: int

The number of plugins in standalone mode.

Stand-alone mode means that only this step should be run as a part of the run (and not any other even if requested using –all). This is useful as some step options may completely change its behaviour from the regular behaviour based on options (e.g. listing images inside provision).

class tmt.steps.StepData(name: str, how: str, order: int = 50, when: list[str] = <factory>, summary: str | None = None)

Bases: SpecBasedContainer[_RawStepData, _RawStepData], NormalizeKeysMixin, SerializableContainer

Keys necessary to describe, create, save and restore a step.

Very basic set of keys shared across all steps.

Provides basic functionality for transition between “raw” step data, which consists of fmf nodes and CLI options, and this container representation with keys and types more suitable for internal use.

Implementation expects simple 1:1 relation between StepData attributes - keys - and their fmf/CLI sources, where keys replace options’ dashes (-) with underscores (_). For example, to hold value of an fmf key foo-bar - or value of a corresponding CLI option, --foo-bar, a step data class should declare key named foo_data. All StepData methods would honor this mapping.

how: str
name: str

class tmt.steps.WhereableStepData(where: list[str] = <factory>)

To be used as a mixin class, adds necessary keys.

See [1] and [2] for specification.

  1. https://tmt.readthedocs.io/en/stable/spec/plans.html#where

where: list[str]
tmt.steps.provides_method(name: str, doc: str | None = None, order: int = 50, installation_hint: str | None = None) → Callable[[type[BasePlugin]], type[BasePlugin]]

A plugin class decorator to register plugin’s method with tmt steps.

In the following example, developer marks SomePlugin as providing two discover methods, foo and bar, with bar being sorted to later position among methods:

@tmt.steps.provides_method('foo')
@tmt.steps.provides_method('bar', order=80)
class SomePlugin(tmt.steps.discover.DicoverPlugin):
  ...
Parameters:

  • name – name of the method.

  • doc – method documentation. If not specified, docstring of the decorated class is used.

  • order – order of the method among other step methods.

tmt.steps.prune_directory(path: Path, preserved_members: set[str], logger: Logger) → set[str]

Remove content of a given directory while preserving selected members.

Parameters:

  • path – a directory to prune.

  • preserved_members – names of directory entries that should not be removed.

  • logger – used for logging.

Returns:

names of members that were actually preserved, i.e. members that exist in the directory, and were not removed.

tmt.steps.safe_filename(template: str, phase: Phase, guest: Guest, **variables: Any) → Path

Construct a non-conflicting filename safe for parallel tasks.

Function adds enough uniqueness to a given template by adding a phase name and a guest name that the eventual filename would be safe against conflicting access from a phase running on multiple guests, and against reuse when created by the same plugin in different phases.

At first glance, the name might be an overkill: at one moment, there is just one phase running on the given guest, why bother? No other phase would touch the file on the guest. But:

  1. filenames are created locally. One phase, running against multiple guests, still needs the filename to be unique on the tmt runner. Otherwise, phase running in different threads would contest a single file.

  2. while the scenario is unlikely, user may eventually convince tmt to recognize two different names for the same machine, via -h connect --guest $IP. Therefore it may happen that one phase, running against two guests, would actually run on the very same HW. Therefore even the remote per-guest uniqueness is needed.

  3. the phase name is included to avoid reuse of the filename by different phases. A plugin may be invoked by multiple phases, and it might use a “constant” name for the file. That would lead to the filename being reused by different plugin executions. Adding the phase name should lower confusion: it would be immediately clear which phase used which filename, or whether a filename was or was not created by given phase.

Parameters:

  • template – filename template. It is enhanced with phase and guest safe name, but may use other variables provided in variables.

  • phase – a phase owning the resulting filename.

  • guest – a guest on which the filename would be used.

  • variables – additional variables template need when rendering the filename.

tmt.steps.sync_with_guests(step: Step, action: str, task: GuestSyncTaskT, logger: Logger) → None

Push and pull stuff from guests in a parallel manner.

Used by steps that run their plugins against one or more guest. Based on a PhaseQueue primitive, parallelized push/pull operations are needed, and this function handles the details.

Parameters:

  • step – step managing the sync operation.

  • action – push or pull, used for nicer logging.

  • task – PushTask or PullTask which represents the actual operation.

  • logger – logger to use for logging.
