8131bf7483c0ea10d3573c9f2e977d19d8569b7f ci: parse TEST_RUNNER_EXTRA into an array (Max Edwards)
c4762b0aa06f2654d108bc7ca05887ffd88cf6f8 test: allow excluding func test by name and arg (Max Edwards)
Pull request description:
While working on CI I wanted to disable some functional tests so I used the `TEST_RUNNER_EXTRA` var. The problem I had was tests that have flags such as `rpc_bind.py --ipv6` must be passed in quotes otherwise the `--ipv6` portion will be considered an argument to `test_runner.py` rather than a test name.
This change allows proper parsing of quotes and complex values such as:
```shell
TEST_RUNNER_EXTRA='--exclude "rpc_bind.py --ipv6,feature_proxy.py"'
```
Update:
While testing this it was noticed that `test_runner.py` when given `--exclude "rpc_bind.py --ipv6"` will exclude all `rpc_bind.py` tests so this PR has been updated to include a change to the test runner to only exclude the specific test if you pass an arg or exclude all tests of that name if you do not pass an arg. `--exclude rpc_bind.py` will exclude all three variants and `--exclude rpc_bind --ipv6` will only exclude the IPV6 variant.

CI Scripts
This directory contains scripts for each build step in each build stage.
Running a Stage Locally
Be aware that the tests will be built and run in-place, so please run at your own risk. If the repository is not a fresh git clone, you might have to clean files from previous builds or test runs first.
The ci needs to perform various sysadmin tasks such as installing packages or writing to the user's home directory. While it should be fine to run the ci system locally on you development box, the ci scripts can generally be assumed to have received less review and testing compared to other parts of the codebase. If you want to keep the work tree clean, you might want to run the ci system in a virtual machine with a Linux operating system of your choice.
To allow for a wide range of tested environments, but also ensure reproducibility to some extent, the test stage
requires bash, docker, and python3 to be installed. To run on different architectures than the host qemu is also required. To install all requirements on Ubuntu, run
sudo apt install bash docker.io python3 qemu-user-static
It is recommended to run the ci system in a clean env. To run the test stage with a specific configuration,
env -i HOME="$HOME" PATH="$PATH" USER="$USER" bash -c 'FILE_ENV="./ci/test/00_setup_env_arm.sh" ./ci/test_run_all.sh'
Configurations
The test files (FILE_ENV) are constructed to test a wide range of
configurations, rather than a single pass/fail. This helps to catch build
failures and logic errors that present on platforms other than the ones the
author has tested.
Some builders use the dependency-generator in ./depends, rather than using
the system package manager to install build dependencies. This guarantees that
the tester is using the same versions as the release builds, which also use
./depends.
It is also possible to force a specific configuration without modifying the file. For example,
env -i HOME="$HOME" PATH="$PATH" USER="$USER" bash -c 'MAKEJOBS="-j1" FILE_ENV="./ci/test/00_setup_env_arm.sh" ./ci/test_run_all.sh'
The files starting with 0n (n greater than 0) are the scripts that are run
in order.
Cache
In order to avoid rebuilding all dependencies for each build, the binaries are cached and reused when possible. Changes in the dependency-generator will trigger cache-invalidation and rebuilds as necessary.
