_decode in provtest_lib/httpc.py builds the reply's "ok" field from the HTTP status alone. curl writes the status as soon as the response header arrives, so a connection closed in the middle of the body, or a transfer killed by --max-time, still produces status 200. The http.conf scenario that fetches the kernel and initrd "byte for byte" then reads a partial file as served. The reply already carries the reason curl gave. "ok" now also requires that reason to be absent. xCAT-test/provtest/tests/test_parsers.py asserts it for a body cut short (curl exit 18) and for a timeout while reading the body.

xCAT-test
Unit tests that run from the source checkout are split by implementation language:
| Test type | Location | Runner |
|---|---|---|
| Perl unit tests | xCAT-test/unit/*.t |
prove -r xCAT-test/unit |
| Shell unit tests | xCAT-test/bats/*.bats |
bats -r xCAT-test/bats |
| DHCP wire tests | xCAT-test/dhcptest/ |
python3 -m unittest discover -s tests, then dhcptest run -i <nic> <conf> |
| CLI functional tests | xCAT-test/autotest/testcase/ and xCAT-test/autotest/bundle/ |
xcattest -f <cluster.conf> -t <case> or xcattest -f <cluster.conf> -b <bundle> |
Use Perl .t tests for Perl modules, Perl scripts, templates, and repository
artifacts. Use BATS tests for shell-script behavior that can be exercised from
the checkout by sourcing a shell library or script and shadowing external
commands.
Shell behavior should not be tested by Perl tests that grep shell source. Put
those tests under xCAT-test/bats instead.
dhcptest is the odd one out: its Python unit tests and dhcptest validate
run offline like the others, but its point is the third column -- driving real
DHCP transactions on a provisioning NIC and asserting on what came back. It
talks to the server only over the wire, so it is agnostic to which DHCP
implementation is answering and to xCAT itself.
See unit/README.md, bats/README.md and dhcptest/README.md for the
detailed rules for each suite.
