So we can give lab updates and/or DTS updates, or anything else the group thinks is relevant * Honnappa notes it would be good to update the community on new DTS developments since the last summit * Ferruh asked on the mailing list about where DTS is for testsuites which validate the flow api. Patrick responded stating that the 24.07 roadmap contains ethdev testsuites which we will work on soon. But, if work moves fast and we can get time during the currently development window, we can write some flow api testcases * Honnappa notes that the end goal here is to demonstrate the effectiveness of the framework and hand off the writing of testsuites to maintainers/the community at large. So most of our efforts should be towards that goal (don=E2=80=99t get distracted). * Will email out the 24.07 roadmap once 24.03 releases =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Patch discussions * Testpmd statefullness / params class * EAL and testpmd params refactored to use this class * Original idea was to set some defaults for testpmd to reduce some load from developers. This does include these defaults. * Mix between the existing defaults of testpmd and others in use in DTS so far * Luca is noting that default values on testpmd docs are incorrect in some cases, some new params are not documented, etc. * Do we expose ourselves to some risk by testpmd app changing, and our testpmd params dataclass becomin =E2=80=9Cout of sync=E2=80=9D * May reduce developer user error by setting correct param names, gives autocomplete to developers for params * https://patchwork.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/list/?series=3D31622 * Scatter: * Jeremy working on the secondary testcase which supports MLNX now * Also working on the new testpmd context manager which will enable having multiple testpmd testcases back to back in a testsuite (allows for waiting for testpmd to fully close) 1. With most recent run on this patch, the new scatter suites is running on mellanox NICs. * Remove xmlrpc server implementation * https://bugs.dpdk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D1374 * When receiving the packets to scapy on ingress port on tester we need to encode the packets to some string so it can be consumed by the dts runner. There is a method which translates bytes into base64 encoding, so now that we know about this method we should be all set. * Can=E2=80=99t use a =E2=80=9Cscapy=E2=80=9D interactive shell as we or= iginally planned due to issue with supporting cursor location, just using a python shell which imports scapy *. Functionally this should be identical to starting up a literal scapy shell. * Improved Interactive shell output gathering * https://patchwork.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/list/?series=3D31483 * Nick * has tested his patch refactoring how users set hugepage from dts or from default boot args * He is also refactoring the config schema according to Juraj=E2=80=99s comments, removing information which can be gathered from the system 1. One caveat is that Juraj suggested we don=E2=80=99t need to set os value for nodes, but this is required to create the node=E2=80=99s os speci= fic remote session (which is needed to collect system info) =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Any other business * UNH people are not changing ticket status when they start working on a bugzilla ticket, which is confusing people. They will start with this. * Possible ticket: Check dependencies on remote nodes. * Check python version on TG (required for scapy) * Check requirements for DPDK, TG apps, etc. to ensure DTS can run * Luca Vizzarrocan create a bugzilla ticket for this
