#407 use the output of -device ? to look for supported devices

Opened Nov 15, 2021 by rmeggins. Modified Mar 11, 2026

rmeggins/standard-test-roles use-device-q-to-find-devices into master

rmeggins commented Nov 15, 2021

The method of using -device $NAME -S -monitor stdio does not work
on all supported platforms (EL7), and does not work correctly on
Fedora 34 and later. Instead, grab and parse the output of
qemucmd -device ? 2>&1 and look for matching name "$NAME",.

This replaces https://pagure.io/standard-test-roles/pull-request/406

I have tested this feature on a wide variety of platforms, and it works fine. @nhosoi @spetros

This PR is ready to be merged, imo.

Are there any objections to using this method?
