I had to take a look at vsh.c to understand, but I finally got it that it was the absence of 'readline-devel' library in all the systems I tested. Installing this library made the test work as you intended in my box. It also fixed in the Power servers as well.
Without the library, virsh interactive mode doesn't stop work per se, but the commands aren't echoed back to the output file (as we can see in the code that is conditional of WITH_READLINE inside vsh.c).
Eric, feel free to change the tests as you see fit. Your idea a couple of messages earlier (avoid using virsh interactive mode, use batch mode instead) looks sound. It also avoid making the test dependent on the install of readline-devel.
Okay, I've posted that alternative proposal of avoiding virsh interactive mode (we can worry about the difference in command echoing without readline-devel later). -- Eric Blake, Principal Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc. +1-919-301-3226 Virtualization: qemu.org | libvirt.org
