But I'm not sure if libvirt on macOS is going to be used from root, rather from a user account.
So, it's just qemu:///session on macOS?
Yes, that's what I had been using when I was running libvirt with HVF patchset... and qemu+ssh:///session
What happens if you try to run libvirtd as root instead?
It can be started ($VAR_PREFIX/run has to be created before first run). But I didn't use it like that earlier so I can't tell how it behaves.
It's great that apparently the scenario that most macOS users are going to encounter works, but I'm still concerned that we might not behave reasonably when qemu:///system is tried instead...
... and that skipping this test would just be papering over an actual issue.
I hope Michal's changes address that concerns. Thanks, Roman
