#272: Tell test which arch it is supposed to test -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: kparal | Owner: vhumpa Type: enhancement | Status: assigned Priority: major | Milestone: Finger Food Component: core | Resolution: Keywords: | -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Comment (by kparal):
The problem was not well described, let me try again:
If the test like is scheduled on some machine, it recognizes the architecture in order to know how to report results (against i686 or x86_64). The problem is the current call os.uname() may return hardware architecture, not software architecture (I believed in that when I reported the ticket, now I'm not sure). We need software architecture of course.
The task therefore is: 1. check what os.uname()[4] returns on 32bit Fedora on 64bit machine 2. if it does not return software architecture, pass the arch to the test as part of autoqa_args 3. if it does return software architecture, think whether it is a better design to pass that information or if current design is good enough
