virstoragetest was failing on RHEL 5, but with no good error message:
TEST: virstoragetest
0 FAIL
It turns out that qemu-img was so old, that it lacked support for
-o backing_file. It didn't help that the test was also using
qemu-img from PATH, even after first probing for kvm-img.
* tests/virstoragetest.c (testPrepImages): Consistently use
discovered binary. Skip instead of fail if qemu-img fails during
setup.
On RHEL 5, I noticed this test failure message:
TEST: qemumonitorjsontest
libvirt not compiled with yajl, skippingSKIP: qemumonitorjsontest
* tests/virstoragetest.c (testPrepImages): Use simpler fputs.
* tests/qemumonitorjsontest.c (mymain): Ensure trailing newline.
Testing our backing chain handling will make it much easier to
ensure that we avoid issues in the future. If only I had written
this test before I first caused several regressions...
* tests/virstoragetest.c: New test.
* tests/Makefile.am (test_programs): Build it.
* .gitignore: Ignore new files.
