Daniel Hilst 045d1ce584 fix(xcat-core): an unregistered RHEL service node still runs subscription-manager
enable_repo_commands chose subscription-manager from the vendor id and the presence of the
binary. An unregistered RHEL node has both, so the postscript ran
`subscription-manager repos --enable`, the command failed for want of a registration, and only
the fallback to `dnf config-manager` enabled the builder repository. The log named the
repository, not the registration.

The decision now takes the registration state. registered_with_subscription_manager reads the
exit status and the output of `subscription-manager identity`, which the postscript runs, and
enable_repo_commands emits the subscription-manager command only for a registered node. A
Foreman, Katello or Red Hat Satellite client registers through subscription-manager, so the same
path covers it, and the vendor id no longer decides. uses_subscription_manager is removed with
its caller.

service_node_artifacts_el.t asserts the probe against the registered and the unregistered output
of subscription-manager 1.30.12, against a missing binary, and against a call without root
privilege. It also asserts that an unregistered node runs no subscription-manager command.

xCAT-test/unit

Unit tests. These run against the source tree only -- no xCAT installation, no running daemons, no management node.

They are executed on every pull request by the xcat_test GitHub Actions workflow, which calls run_unit_tests() in github_action_xcat_test.pl:

prove -r xCAT-test/unit

You can run exactly the same thing from a clean checkout:

cd <xcat-core checkout>
prove -r xCAT-test/unit

What belongs here

A test belongs in unit/ when everything it needs is in the checkout: plugin and library sources, kickstart/preseed/subiquity templates, postscripts, packaging metadata. Such a test asserts on rendered output or module logic and reaches the repository root through FindBin:

use FindBin;
use lib "$FindBin::Bin/../../perl-xCAT";
use lib "$FindBin::Bin/../../xCAT-server/lib/perl";

Because of those FindBin paths the tests only work from a source tree. The copy installed under /opt/xcat/share/xcat/tools/autotest/unit is not a substitute -- ../.. resolves to /opt/xcat/share/xcat/tools there and the tests die or silently skip. The CI takes a copy of the checkout before the build for this reason; see preserve_source_tree().

What does not belong here

Anything that needs an installed xCAT, a populated /install, a real service binary or a live daemon. Those go in ../integration and run on a management node through xcattest. Both suites run on every pull request -- the workflow installs xCAT on the runner and then runs the ci_test cases against it -- so putting a test in integration/ does not cost it CI coverage. What differs is what each suite is allowed to depend on, and that unit tests also run standalone from a bare checkout with no xCAT at all.

Shell-script unit tests belong in ../bats and run with BATS. Do not add Perl .t tests that grep shell source when the behavior can be exercised by sourcing a shell library or script and shadowing the external commands it calls.

The distinction matters because a test that needs an absent environment does not fail -- it calls plan skip_all and reports as skipped. A handful of those in a suite of several hundred assertions is easy to stop reading. Keeping the two kinds in separate directories means a skip in unit/ is a real signal rather than routine noise.

Guarding on a source file, on the other hand, is fine and common here:

plan skip_all => "compute.subiquity.tmpl not found" unless -f $tmpl_path;

That guard never fires when the tree is intact.
