Interface: skipOnCpuSet wrapper - To skip tests on cpuset mom setup


  • Visibility: Public
  • Change Control: Stable
  • SynopsisA new decorator to skip tests when running on a cpuset mom setup
  • Details: This decorator when specified at the test definition, is used to skip that particular test case when running tests on a cpuset mom setup (SGI ICE, SGI UV). This is useful for tests that might involve test steps that are restricted on a cpuset mom setup, for example: 
    • Tests that insert new vnodes
    • Tests that alter node resources (like ncpus, memory etc.)


 Interface: default-testcase-timeout - New parameter to pbs_benchpress command


  • Visibility: Public
  • Change Control: Stable
  • SynopsisA new parameter added to pbs_benchpress command option '-p' to change default test case time out value
  • Details: This parameter value is used to specify the common default timeout value for every running test case. In case any test case execution duration exceeds this value, the test case run would be stopped and next test case run would be continued. If this value is not specified, the default value is 180 seconds for each test case.

Please note that this default test case timeout value (whether got from command line / internal default 180s) is overridden by the value specified in @timeout decorator if in case mentioned at the test case definition.
