Unable to execute autotest-part1-cyclictest on Clear Linux

[zhouhao3]

I conducted the relevant tests and it worked successfully.

If I delete the tests under autotest/client/tests, I will see the problem you said after testing again.

root@clear-lkp-30040~/lkp-tests # lkp run autotest-part1-cyclictest.yaml
2019-07-29 05:34:52 python2.7 client/autotest-local run cyclictest

I think the reason you made a mistake is that you haven't download all the autotest tests. Because autotest contains submodules.
You can check if the following test exists in the path below.

There is a patch has solved this problem, you can try to lkp install autotest-part1-cyclictest.yaml using the latest code, I think it should be able to solve this problem. Please let me know if there is any problem.

Thanks for the test, I see part of the problem still exists on my side. I checked out the latest code and went through the steps to install and run autotest-part1-cyclictest.yaml. The result is the same and there are not test artifacts installed under /lkp/benchmarks/autotest/client/tests. Here is my output: ckoppolu@jfsrtse-clear~/lkp-tests $ ls -lart /lkp/benchmarks/autotest/client/tests/ total 8 drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 4096 Jul 25 20:31 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 30 22:26 . I didn’t see any error while installing the package or running any tests to be able to point to the root cause. Which step updates /lkp/benchmarks/autotest/client/tests?

ckoppolu@jfsrtse-clear~/lkp-tests $ ls -lart /lkp/benchmarks/autotest/client/tests/
total 8

It seems that it have not downloaded all the tests here.There will be no error when executing lkp install.
Because your original autotest file has only a few partial tests, re-executing git submodule update --init --recursive has no effect.

I suggest you do the following:

1. Delete the /lkp/behchmarks/autotest file
2. Delete the /tmp/build-autotest/autotest file
3. Re-run lkp install autotest-part1-cyclictest.yaml

I think this will solve your problem.

[ckoppolu]

Yes, it did! thanks for the solution.
