Summary :
Expect method call should have a flag which can be set to False so that scheduling cycle will not be triggered when expected output is not found.
Interface:
Server.expect(self, obj_type, attrib=None, id=None, op=EQ, attrop=PTL_AND,
attempt=0, max_attempts=None, interval=None, count=None,
extend=None, offset=0, runas=None, level=logging.INFO,
msg=None, kicksched=True)
param kicksched: True by default can be set to False if kicksched_action is not supposed to be called
type kicksched: Boolean
Additional Info:
Some usecases:
- We do not want to kick a sched cycle when waiting for jobs to finish in performance tests else it might affect job run_rate and job throughput.
- Some tests are failing because kicking scheduling cycle is changing jobs comment in some cases.
