Hi Eric,
Thanks for your response. I like to know how test driver works.
In the libvirt.org for test driver it is mentioned as "It can start with a pre-configured default config, or be given a path to an alternate config". Is the config is an xml file where we mentioned some dummy data so that the test driver will return it as response. If yes then where can I find this dummy file?
As mentioned earlier my intention is to mock qemu calls. so it test driver works then I'm planning to remove the qemu driver and register "test" driver as "qemu" driver and take the fake data from the config file. Please let me know which are the files I need to look into to register "test" as "qemu" and make its operations to work.
The XML file is provided via the URI. For example test:///default uses a built-in config, but you can supply a real path eg test:///home/berrange/testnode.xml Take a look at examples/xml/test/testnode.xml in the libvirt source tree for an example. FYI, the test driver is used very successfully in virt-install and virt-manager for testing their functionality in an automated way, so I can strongly recommend its use, over trying to mock the APIs or wire protocol yourself.
