[Avocado-devel] Wrong subtests.cfg

[Andrei Stepanov]

Hi. It is very easy to reproduce.


I can confirm that current avocado/avocado-vt are exposed to the bug.

Step 1.

Remove avocado's "data" directory.


Step 2.

vocado vt-bootstrap --vt-type spice --vt-no-downloads --vt-update-config


Step 3.

Go to avocado-data/avocado-vt/backends/spice/cfg   and check subtests.cfg.


It holds parts of run.cfg, join.cfg, build.cfg   and other configs that are
not supposed to be a part of subtest.cfg


I am sure for 100% that this is a new behaviour and it wasn't before.



As I told before, second run of :

avocado vt-bootstrap --vt-type spice --vt-no-downloads --vt-update-config

produces correct subtests.cfg


We have broken vt-bootstra.


Please fix.
