Daniel Hilst ac63d37843 test(xcat-core): the error-command test writes the log archive to /run
The first subiquity error command redirects tar's output into
/run/#HOSTNAME#-logs.tar. The test shadows tar, but the redirection belongs to
the shell and happens whether or not tar runs:

  $ bash -c 'tar() { :; }; ( tar ... >/run/testnode-logs.tar 2>/dev/null; exit 0 )'
  bash: line 1: /run/testnode-logs.tar: Permission denied
  exit=0

Unprivileged the open fails, "exit 0" swallows it and the test passes. CI runs
as root, where the same line creates or truncates that file on the host.

The archive path now comes from the environment, the way XCAT_ERROR_CONSOLE
already does in the same block, and points inside BATS_TEST_TMPDIR. The tar
shadow emits a marker so the test can tell the output reached the file it
named, and a second assertion says the default path under /run was not touched.

The new case fails until the template reads that variable.

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
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.

See unit/README.md and bats/README.md for the detailed rules for each unit-test suite.
