Hey Guys,
I just hit a really annoying issue while trying to upgrade control to
our latest lava-dispatcher code.
Everything works great in dogfood and staging. However, I guess the
python version on control is just different enough to cause a problem
with our new use of "configglue". The issue is with our "boot_cmds" that
are set by our device-type .conf files. The faulty snippet is roughly:
string_to_list(boot_cmds)
on a "normal" system, this produces an array of commands. On control we
get a encoding mess that doesn't work with u-boot. eg:
['m\x00\x00\x00m\x00\x00\x00c\x00\x00\x00 .......
I think the easiest fix is to change our master.py to call:
string_to_list(boot_cmds.encode('ascii'))
I'm doing another round of unit testing to prove this works before
attempting to deploy.
For now I've marked all the devices that execute from control as
offline. If the fix takes too long, I'll just revert to the previous
lava deployment
