From b0ac24ae4114b89e0accc4f30c49b2b9c73bbf22 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: aszlig Date: Sat, 29 Aug 2020 00:47:17 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] nixos/test-driver: Use guest time when using sleep With the Perl driver, machine.sleep(N) was doing a sleep on the guest machine instead of the host machine. The new Python test driver however uses time.sleep(), which instead sleeps on the host. While this shouldn't make a difference most of the time, it *does* however make a huge difference if the test machine is loaded and you're sleeping for a minimum duration of eg. an animation. I stumbled on this while porting most of all my tests to the new Python test driver and particularily my video game tests failed on a fairly loaded machine, whereas they don't with the Perl test driver. Switching the sleep() method to sleep on the guest instead of the host fixes this.
