[Avocado-devel] virttest missing under avocado-vt

[srikanth]

Hi,

I have followed below procedure to setup avocado and avocado-VT.

Host OS: Fedora-22

1. Install avocado

sudo curl http://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/lmr/Autotest/repo/fedora-20/lmr-Autotest-fedora-20.repo -o /etc/yum.repos.d/autotest.repo
sudo yum update
sudo yum install avocado

2. Install avocado-vt
yum install avocado-plugins-vt
avocado vt-bootstrap --vt-type qemu
avocado plugins
Plugins enabled:

[srikanth at localhost avocado-vt]$ pwd
/home/srikanth/avocado/data/avocado-vt
[srikanth at localhost avocado-vt]$ ls
backends  downloads  gpg  images  isos  steps_data  test-providers.d

Couple of queries:

1. I am not able to find virttest directory in 'avocado-vt'.
Specifically I am looking for vm_xml.py and hostdev.py files. Is this expected? Should I git clone 'avocado-vt' to those files?
2. When I run `avocado list --vt-type qemu` I see list of tests for qemu [without using sudo].
But same for libvirt returns below mentioned error.
[srikanth at localhost avocado-vt]$ avocado list --vt-type libvirt
Test discovery plugin <avocado.core.plugins.vt.VirtTestLoader object at 0x7f3f1c756450> failed: In order to use config vt.qemu.nettype 'bridge' you need to be root

Thanks in advance for your time :-)
