Re: RFC PATCH: Issue 90 (Test Clarification)

We've implemented all the changes you suggested and we've come across a slight wrinkle. We fixed our xml2argvdata test and we were working on the qemuxml2xmltest and found two tests which appear to have contradictory outputs. Specifically, we ran VIR_TEST_REGENERATE_OUTPUT=1 ./build/tests/qemuxml2xmltest and it generated some errors within VIR_TEST_RANGE=181-182. Inspecting these tests, we found what we believe to be a contradiction (which we aren't sure how to fix). Our output file (qemuxml2xmloutdata/disk-network-nfs.x86_64-latest.xml) has a backingStore on line 35. Test 181 generates an output where this backing store does not have an index, but Test 182 generates an output where this backing store has an index='1' attribute. Using REGENERATE_OUTPUT command seems to satisfy test 182 but fails test 181. If we fix the XML to satisfy test 181, then test 182 will fail. We've attached some screenshots for clarity, if this sounds confusing. Why is this error arising, and how do we fix it?
