Hi Cleber,
Sorry for being a pain. I've tried to use process.system to execute
commands, but I got an error, that's why I kept the autotest libraries
(I actually copied from one of the files in io-github-autotest-libvirt).
The error I'm getting is:

I looked at "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/avocado/utils/process.py",
line 1139 and didn't see anything that could be causing the problem. I
even tried to add "sudo=False" argument in process.system, but I get the
same error.
Thanks again.

Hi Cleber,
Thanks for your quick reply. That's exactly what I understood, but here
is what is happening
I have a directory ~/avocado/xen/tests where I have the xentest.py
script. When I execute it, it does create the directory
~/avocado/xen/tests/xentest.py.data with stderr.expected and
stdout.expected (empty). It also creates the two files (stdout and
stderr) in the job-results/latest directory, but also empty.
The weird thing is that instead of saving, it reports to the job.log as
an error "L0151 ERROR| [stderr] Parsing config from /VM/guest1/vm.cf".
That's why I think I am missing something.
Can you post the full test code and the resulting `job.log` file?
Sure.. It is attached.
And the multiplex file I am using is:
xentest:
guest1:
action: !mux
start:
run_action: "create"
domain_name: "perf1"
sleep_time: 1
stop:
run_action: "shutdown"
domain_name: "perf1"
sleep_time: 60
guest_cfg: /Repo/VM/perf1/vm.cfg
Thanks again for your help.

Hi All,
I am new to avocado and have just started to look into it.
I have been playing with avocado on Fedora 24 for a few weeks. I
wrote a
small script to run commands and was exploring the option
"--output-check-record", but it never populate the files
stderr.expected
and stdout.expected. Instead, it prints an error with "[stderr]" in
the
job.log file. My understanding is that the output (stderr and stdout)
of commands/scripts executed by avocado would be captured and saved on
those files (like on synctest.py example), but it doesn't. I want to
know if I am doing something wrong or it is a bug.
Hi Marcos,
Avocado creates the `stdout` and `stderr` files in the test result
directory. In the synctest example, for instance, my contains:
$ avocado run examples/tests/synctest.py
$ cat
~/avocado/job-results/latest/test-results/1-examples_tests_synctest.py\:SyncTest.test/stdout
PAR : waiting
PASS : sync interrupted
`stderr` is actually empty for that test:
$ wc -l
~/avocado/job-results/latest/test-results/1-examples_tests_synctest.py\:SyncTest.test/stderr
0
/home/cleber/avocado/job-results/latest/test-results/1-examples_tests_synctest.py:SyncTest.test/stderr
What you have to do is, once you're satisfied with those outputs, and
they're considered "the gold standard", you'd move those to the test
*data directory*.
So, if you test is hosted at, `/tests/xl.py`, you'd created the
`/tests/xl.py.data`, and put those files there, named `stdout.expected`
and `stderr.expected`.
Whenever you run `avocado run --output-check-record all /tests/xl.py`,
those files will be used and the output of the *current* test execution
will be compared to those "gold standards".
The script is very simple and the way I execute the command is:
cmd = ('/usr/sbin/xl create /VM/guest1/vm.cfg')
if utils.system(cmd) == "0":
The issue seems to be related to the fact that you're using old autotest
libraries to execute your external commands.
The output record/check support is built into Avocado's libraries,
namely `avocado.utils.process`.
Try to replace your code with:
from avocado.utils import process
...
process.system(cmd)
Also, mixing and matching autotest and avocado libraries in the same
test code is not something I'd recommend. Not that it's guaranteed to
break. I'd recomend to (try to) move to avocado libraries, or keep an
eye on strange behavior like this.
pass
else:
return False
The command send to stdout:
Parsing config from /VM/guest1/vm.cfg
I run the test as:
avocado run --output-check-record all xentest.py
The job.log file contains:
2016-09-07 13:04:48,015 test L0214 INFO | START

Thanks for your time and help.
Let me know if it's clear now! And thanks for trying Avocado out!
