What this PR does / why we need it:

Adds opt-in remote-pdb debugging for test runs, gated by the CNV_REMOTE_PDB environment variable — absent means zero behavior change for normal runs. Ported from RedHatQE/mtv-api-tests PR #733 (by myakove), adapted to this repository; source attribution is included in the ported files.

Two triggers, same attach mechanism (nc 127.0.0.1 4444):

  1. Code breakpoints — remote_breakpoint() from utilities/debug.py placed temporarily at the line of interest; the run blocks there and waits for a debugger connection
  2. Failure post-mortem — with the env var set, any test failure opens a remote post-mortem session on the failing traceback after must-gather collection (no --pdb needed; when --pdb IS passed the local terminal debugger takes precedence)

Design:

  • Listener binds 127.0.0.1 only — a pdb shell is root-equivalent; pod/Job runs attach via oc port-forward pod/<pod> 4444:4444, never an exposed port
  • Port defaults to 4444, offset per pytest-xdist worker (gw1 → 4445) so parallel failures don't collide; overridable via REMOTE_PDB_HOST / REMOTE_PDB_PORT (host must resolve to loopback — non-loopback raises)
  • remote-pdb added as a runtime dependency so it exists inside the container image
  • BdbQuit is handled: quitting a code breakpoint fails only that test; quitting a post-mortem ends the session via pytest.exit, matching pytest's native --pdb behavior
  • Python 3.14 compatibility: pdb.Pdb.interaction()'s parameter was renamed traceback → tb_or_exc in 3.14 — the call is version-adaptive (tb_or_exc on >= 3.14, traceback on older) so backports to 3.12-pinned release branches work as-is
Which issue(s) this PR fixes:

NONE

Special notes for reviewer:
  • utilities/debug.py is new and fully covered by utilities/unittests/test_debug.py (20 tests: env gate, no-op paths, host/port validation, xdist worker offset, BdbQuit paths, version-adaptive interaction keyword for both 3.14 and legacy signatures)
  • Verified locally end-to-end: post-mortem opens on failure, attach lands on the failing line, p expr works, c continues the run, q/disconnect quits; no-op path verified without the env var
  • conftest.py change extends the existing pytest_exception_interact hook only (hooks belong in root conftest per AGENTS.md)
  • skills/remote-debugging/ is a vendored agent skill documenting the AI-driven attach workflow (FIFO-piped client); skills/README.md explains manual symlink installation — not auto-discovered, no harness coupling
  • No product tests under tests/ are modified
jira-ticket:

NONE

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added opt-in remote debugging for tests, with interactive breakpoints and post-mortem sessions after failures and must-gather collection.
    • Attach to debugger sessions over a socket. Parallel test workers use separate ports, and local --pdb takes precedence.
    • Configure the listener’s host and port, and forward ports when debugging in a container. Remote debugging is disabled by default.
    • Quitting a breakpoint ends the current test; quitting a post-mortem session exits the test run.
  • Documentation
    • Added setup and usage guidance, including debugger commands, port forwarding, session cleanup, and installing the debugging skill.

📝 Walkthrough

The change adds opt-in socket-based remote breakpoint and post-mortem debugging. Pytest can start a remote post-mortem session after must-gather collection. The change also adds unit tests and documents debugger setup, attachment, and cleanup.

Changes: Remote debugging

Layer / File(s) Summary
Debugger setup and breakpoint helpers
pyproject.toml, utilities/debug.py, utilities/unittests/test_debug.py
Adds the remote-pdb dependency and opt-in breakpoint helpers. The helpers validate loopback host and port settings, apply xdist worker port offsets, and have tests for configuration and breakpoint behavior.
Pytest post-mortem integration
utilities/debug.py, conftest.py, utilities/unittests/test_debug.py
Adds remote post-mortem handling after must-gather collection when remote debugging is enabled and local --pdb is inactive. Tests cover traceback delivery, Python-version-specific interaction arguments, and quit or disconnect behavior.
Remote debugging instructions
docs/RUNNING_TESTS.md, skills/README.md, skills/remote-debugging/SKILL.md
Documents setup, breakpoints, post-mortem sessions, connection and cleanup steps, and manual installation of the remote-debugging skill.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Change: Feature

Suggested labels: new-tests

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 5aeec

When remote debugging is enabled, a client reset during a breakpoint may let the test resume instead of failing as documented. Ordinary runs are unaffected, so this is a bounded debugger-workflow risk.

- Around line 70-72: Replace the predictable FIFO and output paths in the remote
debugging setup with files inside a private directory created by `mktemp -d`;
stop execution if directory or file setup fails. Update the cleanup flow to
remove that directory, locating the relevant setup and cleanup commands in the
remote-debugging instructions.
- Around line 86-87: Separate the `oc port-forward` and `nc` commands so the
connection check can run while forwarding is active. Update this command block
to run port-forward in a separate terminal or background it and retain its PID
for cleanup.

Review comments at @utilities/debug.py:
- Around line 109-111: Update the `_remote_debugger().set_trace` path so a
client reset swallowed by `RemotePdb.set_trace` is detected and results in
`bdb.BdbQuit` before the breakpoint returns; add a test using the real
remote-pdb dependency to cover this reset-during-write behavior.

Learning: In the openshift-virtualization-tests repository, the guideline to require named arguments for function calls with more than one argument does not apply to unit tests under utilities/unittests/. For these tests, allow standard pytest patterns like pytest.raises(ExceptionType, match="pattern") without requiring named parameters. This exception applies specifically to files under utilities/unittests/ and does not generalize beyond that directory.

Opt-in remote-pdb debugging gated by the CNV_REMOTE_PDB environment variable; without it both helpers are no-ops.

Ported from RedHatQE/mtv-api-tests PR RedHatQE#733 (by myakove), adapted to this repository (Python 3.14 pdb interaction signature, version-adaptive keyword); source attribution is included in the ported files.

- utilities/debug.py: remote_breakpoint() for temporary code breakpoints and remote_post_mortem() for failure post-mortems
- conftest.py: failure post-mortem in pytest_exception_interact, after must-gather collection, skipped when --pdb is active
- loopback-only listener (port 4444, offset per xdist worker), attach via nc; pod runs via oc port-forward
- remote-pdb added as a runtime dependency
- unit tests in utilities/unittests/test_debug.py (19 tests)
- docs/RUNNING_TESTS.md section and vendored agent skill

Signed-off-by: rnetser <rnetser@redhat.com>
- client files moved into a private directory (atomic mkdir -m 700, fails closed on pre-existing paths) so other local users can neither pre-create the paths nor read debugger output
- oc port-forward is backgrounded with PID capture and cleanup so nc actually runs when the pod block is pasted as-is

…readiness

- reword the client directory comment: pre-creation by another local user is possible and blocks setup (fails closed), it does not expose debugger output
- add a bounded readiness loop after backgrounding oc port-forward so nc only starts once the local listener accepts connections, with cleanup on timeout (skill and docs)

Signed-off-by: rnetser <rnetser@redhat.com>
nc -z opens a TCP connection and RemotePdb accepts a single client, so a connecting readiness probe would consume the debugger session. Poll the local listening socket with ss -ltn (no connection) and keep kill -0 for process liveness; applied to both the skill and docs pod blocks.

The attach client and docs hardcoded 127.0.0.1, which breaks when REMOTE_PDB_HOST selects another loopback address. Resolve host and port from the 'RemotePdb session open at <host>:<port>' line (skill section renamed to 'Finding the listener address').

Test execution plan request details

CRITICAL: You MUST post an inline review comment on the first changed line of the first file.
The inline comment should contain the full Test Execution Plan (smoke decision, gating decision, and specific affected tests).
Do NOT submit a blocking review event (REQUEST_CHANGES/APPROVE).
Post a single inline PR comment on Files Changed (non-blocking COMMENT flow).

As an expert software testing engineer, analyze all modified files in this PR and create a targeted test execution plan.
You will post an inline review comment with the test execution plan on the first changed file.
If you fail to run or post a comment, retry.

Analysis Requirements:

  1. Examine code changes in each modified file

  2. Identify affected code paths, functions, and classes

  3. Analyze pytest-specific elements: fixtures (scope, dependencies), parametrization, markers, conftest changes

  4. Trace test dependencies through imports, shared utilities, fixture inheritance, fixture teardown, and yield from cleanup in conftest

  5. Detect new tests introduced in the PR

  6. Utilities and libs impact (when utilities/ or libs/ changes):
    You MUST use shell scripts (rg, git diff) to trace the full impact.
    Follow these sub-steps in order:

    6a. Identify modified symbols: For each changed file under utilities/ or libs/,
    list every modified function or method.
    Example: git diff HEAD~1 --unified=0 -- utilities/hco.py | grep '^[+-]def '

    6b. Find direct callers: Search tests and conftest for each symbol from 6a.
    Example: rg -l 'get_hco_version' tests/

    6c. Trace fixture teardown and cleanup: Find fixtures that reach
    the modified symbol through yield from or context-manager wrappers.
    Example: rg -l 'yield from.*enable_common_boot|def.*enable_common_boot' tests/

    6d. Trace same-file callers: In each changed file, find other functions
    whose body calls a modified symbol (including code after yield
    in @contextmanager helpers).
    Example: rg 'get_hco_version|enable_common_boot' utilities/hco.py

    6e. Expand transitively: If function A calls modified B, then
    tests/fixtures that call A are affected — even when the test body
    never imports B directly.

    Do NOT limit impact to tests that import the modified symbol only.

  7. Smoke test impact: Intersect the affected set from step 6 with smoke-marked tests.
    Run: rg -l '@pytest.mark.smoke' tests/
    VERIFY the above command returned actual file paths before concluding False.
    Set True if either condition is met:

    • a smoke-marked file appears in the affected set from 6b-6e, OR
    • any conftest.py in the smoke test's parent-directory hierarchy (up to repo root)
      imports or calls a modified utilities/libs symbol — including autouse fixtures
      that depend on modified functions. ALL tests in that directory and below are affected.
      Example check: for each smoke_file, scan dirname(smoke_file)/conftest.py,
      dirname(dirname(smoke_file))/conftest.py, etc. for modified symbol imports
      and autouse fixtures that depend on modified symbols.
  8. Gating test impact: Intersect the affected set from step 6 with gating-marked tests.
    Run: rg -l '@pytest.mark.gating' tests/
    Set True if a gating-marked file also appears in the affected set from 6b-6e.
    Utilities/libs changes often affect gating tests without affecting smoke tests.
    Do NOT stop analysis after concluding Run smoke tests: False.

Output rules:
Do NOT include analysis step numbers (1-8) in your visible output.

Your deliverable:
Your inline informational comment will be based on the following requirements:

Test Execution Plan

  • Run smoke tests: True / False — If True, state the dependency path (test → fixture → changed symbol). True ONLY with a verified path.
  • Run gating tests: True / False — If True, state the dependency path. True if any gating-marked test is in the affected set.
  • Affected tests to run (required when utilities/, libs/, or shared conftest changes — list concrete paths even when smoke is False)

Use these formats:

  • path/to/test_file.py - When the entire test file needs verification
  • path/to/test_file.py::TestClass::test_method - When specific test(s) needed
  • path/to/test_file.py::test_function - When specific test(s) needed
  • -m marker - When a marker covers multiple affected tests (e.g. -m gating only if ALL gating tests in scope need run)
  • Tag each listed test or group with its marker when not obvious, e.g. (gating) or (smoke)

Real test commands (MANDATORY when changes affect session/runtime code):

When the affected code runs at session/collection time (conftest fixtures, pytest plugins,
config hooks, session-scoped setup) or modifies runtime behavior that unit tests mock away,
you MUST include concrete pytest commands the PR author must run on a real cluster
to verify the change works end-to-end. Include:

  • A command for the error/fix path (the scenario the PR fixes)
  • A command for the happy path (regression: the normal case still works)
  • Use lightweight tests (e.g., --collect-only for startup failures,
    a single small test for runtime behavior)
    If the PR only changes test logic (not utilities/libs/conftest), the affected test
    paths themselves serve as the real test commands — no separate section needed.

Example output for a session-startup fix:

**Real tests (cluster required)**
Error path (the fix):
`pytest tests/storage/.../test_foo.py --storage-class-matrix=nonexistent-sc --collect-only`
Expected: ValueError with clear message, not IndexError

Happy path (regression):
`pytest tests/storage/.../test_foo.py --storage-class-matrix=<valid-sc> -k test_bar`
Expected: session starts normally

Guidelines:

  • Include tests affected directly OR via fixture setup/teardown, yield from cleanup, or transitive utility call chains (caller calls modified helper)
  • Use a full file path only if ALL tests in that file require verification
  • Use file path + test name when only specific tests use an affected fixture or utility wrapper (preferred for partial file impact)
  • If a test marker can cover multiple files/tests, provide the marker
  • Balance coverage vs over-testing - Keep descriptions minimal
  • Example: if leaf helper foo() changes, include tests whose fixture teardown calls wrapper bar() where bar() calls foo(), even when the test body only imports an unrelated symbol from the same utilities module

Hardware-Related Checks (SR-IOV, GPU, DPDK):

When PR modifies fixtures for hardware-specific resources:

  • Collection Safety: Fixtures MUST have existence checks (return None when hardware unavailable)
  • Test Plan: MUST verify both WITH and WITHOUT hardware:
    • Run affected tests on cluster WITH hardware
    • Verify collection succeeds on cluster WITHOUT hardware

CRITICAL WORKFLOW COMPLETION RULES:

When responding to this test execution plan request, you MUST follow these rules EXACTLY:

  1. YOUR ONLY DELIVERABLE: Post one non-blocking inline comment containing the test execution plan on the first changed line
  2. THEN STOP IMMEDIATELY - Do NOT generate any additional response
  3. FALLBACK ONLY: If inline comment API calls fail after retrying, post as a regular PR comment
  4. SILENCE = SUCCESS: After successfully submitting the review, your task is complete. No confirmation needed.

ABSOLUTE PROHIBITIONS (violating these creates empty/meaningless reviews):

  • ❌ Do NOT post acknowledgment messages like "Test execution plan posted", "Review posted successfully", "I've successfully posted"
  • ❌ Do NOT mention review IDs, URLs, or confirmation of posting in the PR thread
  • ❌ Do NOT add any follow-up comments after submitting the review
  • ❌ Do NOT reply to confirm task completion
  • ❌ Do NOT explain what you did - just do it and stop

Remember: The pull request review is visible to users. Additional comments are redundant noise.

CRITICAL — Verification rules for smoke and gating decisions:
- For each True decision, you must have traced a concrete path: test file → fixture → utility function → modified symbol.
- Do NOT assume impact based on scope, file proximity, or infrastructure-sounding names.
Only set True when you trace a concrete path through steps 6a-6e, then 7 or 8.
WRONG: "utilities/hco.py changed → run smoke" (no traced dependency path)
WRONG: "Run smoke tests: False" with no affected-test list when gating tests use the changed utility
RIGHT: "Run smoke tests: False, Run gating tests: True" plus tests/.../test_foo.py::TestBar::test_baz (gating)
RIGHT: "Smoke test X uses fixture Y → wrapper Z → changed function W in utilities/hco.py"

Tip

For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes.

@openshift-virtualization-qe-bot-3 I cannot submit an inline review comment with the available capabilities. The shell is read-only, and no inline-review posting tool is exposed. This does not establish a GitHub permission failure.

No inline API write was attempted. Your fallback condition is therefore not met, so I am not posting the test execution plan as a regular PR comment.

…adiness, listener host in remote-debugging skill (#752)

* fix: private client dir, backgrounded port-forward, non-connecting readiness, listener host in remote-debugging skill

Closes #751

Mirror the verified fixes from RedHatQE/openshift-virtualization-tests#6583:
- Attach client uses a per-session private directory (mkdir -m 700, fails
  closed on pre-existing paths) instead of predictable /tmp FIFO paths
- Pod port-forward runs in the background with PID capture and kill
- Readiness poll uses ss -ltn + kill -0 only (a connecting probe would
  consume RemotePdb's single client session)
- Client resolves host/port from the run's "RemotePdb session open at"
  line instead of hardcoding 127.0.0.1

Assisted-by: PI (rits/zai-org/glm-5-3) <noreply@pi.dev>
Signed-off-by: Meni Yakove <myakove@gmail.com>

* fix: verify port-forward ownership and preserve configured host in remote-debugging skill

Qodo review follow-ups on PR #752:
- Readiness poll now matches the listener to THIS forward (ss -ltnp pid=
  match) — a bare port match could be an unrelated process that already
  owned the port, sending the client to it
- Listener-address lookup no longer shows the session line with a literal
  127.0.0.1 and every fallback step now yields a host (REMOTE_PDB_HOST /
  ss bound address / 127.0.0.1 default), so the client always has $host
