Avocado is a set of tools and libraries to help with automated testing. One can call it a test framework with benefits. Native tests are written in Python and they follow the unittest pattern, but any executable can serve as a test.

System information (please complete the following information):

Additional information

The issue was rooted down to get_family in avocado/utils/cpu.py returning integer type for AMD hosts:

def get_family():
    """Get family name of the cpu like Broadwell, Haswell, power8, power9."""
    family = None
    arch = get_arch()
    if arch == "x86_64" or arch == "i386":
        if get_vendor() == "amd":
            cpu_info = _get_info()
            pattern = r"cpu family\s*:"
            for line in cpu_info:
                line = line.decode("utf-8")
                if re.search(pattern, line):
                    family = int(line.split(":")[1])
                    return family

Hi @SinadShan, thank you for reporting this issue. I agree that we should make better description of return values of get_family() method. But can you please check your avocado-vt version, because it seems to me that this issue has been fixed on latest avocado-vt.

SinadShan commented 1 month ago

I had used the latest released avocado-vt version 104.0 in which this issue was seen. This issue does seem to be fixed in a recent commit, but a release tag has not been made with these changes. Using the latest source should fix this issue. Thanks!
