Public bug reported:
the virtualbox version checking code in testdrive is outdated.
it should reference versions up to 4.2, but only goes to 4.1, 4.0 or 3.1,
depending on the part of the code
currently it is:
# Code to validate if virtualization is installed/supported
def validate_virt(self):
# Determine which version of VirtualBox we have installed. What is
returned is
# typically a string such as '3.1.0r55467', lets assume that the
command line
# is consistent within 3.1.x, 3.2.x and 4.0.x versions extract this
part of the
# version string for comparison later
self.vboxversion = commands.getoutput("VBoxManage --version")
self.vboxversion = ( int(self.vboxversion.split(".")[0]),
int(self.vboxversion.split(".")[1]) )
if self.vboxversion == (3,1) or self.vboxversion == (3,2) or
self.vboxversion == (4,0) or self.vboxversion == (4,1) or self.vboxversion ==
(4,2):
#info("VirtualBox %s detected." % self.vboxversion)
print "INFO: VirtualBox %s.%s detected." % self.vboxversion
else:
#error("Unsupported version (%s) of VirtualBox; please install v3.0
or v3.1." % self.vboxversion)
print "ERROR: Unsupported version (%s.%s) of VirtualBox; please
install v3.1, v3.2, v4.0 or v4.1." % self.vboxversion
exit(0)
