I agree that it is annoying setup() will only get run once, unless you iterate the version +=1. It's also not apparent to someone unless they rummage through the autotest docs. Unfortunately, not every test in our collection operate in the same manner, there are some that do not use a setup() but that is neither here nor there. I have also just modified the version if running through any sort of triage in the past. This is because the intended use case always runs once on a freshly deployed system. This is good Krzysztof! Will def help for those working on test improvements. +1 from me. -Sean <div class="moz-cite-prefix">On 6/3/21 9:21 AM, Krzysztof Kozlowski wrote: </div> <blockquote type="cite" cite="mid:20210603132118.40298-1-krzysztof.kozlowski@canonical.com"> <pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">The autotest had nice idea that test setup can be executed only once on a machine, till test version does not change. If version stays the same, autotest will not run test setup on next executions. However this requirement/feature was not defined clear enough and some tests: 1. Perform cleanup() which reverts the setup() (e.g. ubuntu_boot). 2. Set runtime configuration (e.g. initialize object's field in Python __init__()) during setup() and read it on each test (e.g. ubuntu_sysdig_smoke_test). All of these cases fail. Fix this by calling the test setup() every time.
