hard coded username "root" to connect to the boards? #65

Closed yi-liang closed 7 years ago

yi-liang commented 7 years ago

Seems when SSH connect to a board, the expected prompt is prompt = ['root\@.:.#', '/ # ', ".*:~ #",".+@.+:~\$"] /boardfarm/devices/debian.py line 21 which doesn't handle for generic/customised prompt? e.g. raspberry pi's user name could be pi

You can add to the prompt list what you need. To use non root user you need to use sudo before a lot of commands.

Also running as a non-root user has not quite been resolved yet.

@yi-liang: As @mattsm said, boardfarm doesn't really support running as a non-root user yet. prpl's fork of Boardfarm https://github.com/prplfoundation/boardfarm does have a prototype of non-root user support but it's not in a state where it can be merged upstream. That said, it does function moderately well for us so I encourage you to check out the work we've done.

I'll also be doing a presentation tomorrow at the prplwrt meeting on how prpl sets up boardfarm so I'll try to address some of the changes there.
