Description

Add a new GitHub Actions workflow that spins up raw QEMU VMs to run
the integration test suite, so tests can run without relying on
GitHub-hosted infrastructure (useful for external contributor PRs
that lack access to internal runners).

  • Introduce ci/qemu-vm.sh to boot and manage QEMU VMs, sharing the
    workspace via virtiofs.
  • Add cloud-init configs for CentOS/Fedora and an Ignition config for
    RHCOS to provision the VMs.
  • Extend the test matrix to CentOS 9/10, Fedora 44, and multiple RHCOS
    releases (4.16-4.22) across RHEL 9/10.
  • Update tests/conftest.py and tests/containers.py for the new VM
    provisioning workflow.

  • Added unit tests
  • Added integration tests
  • Added regression tests

If any of these don't apply, please comment below.

Testing Performed

Validation needs to happen in CI.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Tests

    • Added automated virtual machine integration testing across CentOS Stream, Fedora, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS environments.
    • Added support for configuring test temporary directories through a command-line option.
    • Improved container image test setup by allowing local builds when registry pulls fail because an image is unavailable or access is unauthorized.
  • Chores

    • Added VM provisioning and management support, including cloud-init, Ignition, Podman, SSH, and shared storage configuration.

Changes

The pull-request workflow builds the Fact image and runs integration tests in QEMU VMs for CentOS, Fedora, and RHCOS. New provisioning supports cloud-init, Ignition, Podman, SSH, shared mounts, image verification, test execution, reporting, and cleanup. Pytest gains configurable temporary directories and broader local-build fallback.

QEMU integration testing

Layer / File(s) Summary
VM provisioning and lifecycle
ci/qemu-vm.sh, ci/cloud-init/*, ci/ignition/rhcos.json
Adds VM startup, SSH readiness, cloud-init and Ignition setup, optional virtiofs sharing, runtime checks, reboot handling, and process cleanup.
Workflow matrix and image preparation
.github/workflows/qemu-integration-tests.yml
Adds workflow triggers, Fact image export, distribution matrices, QEMU tooling, and checksum-verified standard and RHCOS images.
In-VM integration test execution
.github/workflows/qemu-integration-tests.yml
Loads the Fact image, prepares Python and gRPC tooling, runs pytest through Podman, and uploads results and failure diagnostics.
Pytest temporary directories and image fallback
tests/conftest.py, tests/containers.py
Adds --tmp-dir, delays fixture yield after the initial scan, and expands local-build fallback for unauthorized or missing-image pull failures.

The VM helper's documented interactive SSH command exits instead of opening a session. This is localized and does not affect automated VM test execution, but should be corrected for manual debugging use.

Preserve interactive SSH mode when no command is supplied.

When cmd_ssh receives no arguments, printf '%q ' "$@" produces a quoted empty command. vm_ssh passes that value to ssh, so SSH runs a remote command instead of opening the documented interactive session.

If no command is supplied, invoke SSH without a remote command. For a non-root user, request a TTY and run sudo -n -i.
