By processing JSON or YAML files via Ordered dicts.,
we ensure that domains are processed in the order they are specified
in the relevant configuration files.

This is in order to pass 'make check' - at some point we'll have to decide which is the correct line - this one or the next one. The next one makes more sense to me, so commented out this one.

I'll have to reread some of the code, but I recall that there was needed to have at least one image called root in order to know which one to boot from and such (ssh keys, configs that virt tools use).

Though I agree that the second makes more sense, not sure if we are using multi-image ovas anywhere though.

I sincerely hope I actually fixed the test and not bypassed it here.

I think it's ok, the array content (the second line) is the contents of the ordered dict, probably we might want to add also a test where there's actually content there to make sure that's actually ordered, though the name of the class there might be enough.

Aside from the questions above, a first check looks ok for me, though I have not tested it yet though. If you made sure that it really solves your issues with the ordering, 👍 from me :)

Not an issue with this patch - but stdlib's copy.deepcopy will not work here?(replacing the entire function)

@david-caro can give an explanation (which I remember was quite long) on why not. IIRC, it's not really doing only deepcopy?

I remember that there was some subtlety on why to use this function instead of copy.deepcopy, I vote for trying it out and replace this one if no issues arise, hopefully the code that depended on that subtlety is fixed/removed.

@david-caro - this is the explanation you once gave me:
The copy.deepcopy function is not enough, as it's not doing what I intended
with the deepcopy one.

The issue is that, when writing yaml, you can do something like:

  • something: &common_stuff
    key1: val1
    key2: val2
  • host1:
    <<*: common_stuff
    key1: customval1
  • host2:
    <<*: common_stuff
    key2: customval2

That will allow you to reuse some common definitions over and over on the same
yaml file, the problem is that it's actually a reference to the same objects,
so if you define a list as the common_stuff, then including it twice, will
create a pointer to the same list on both dictionaries, creating issues when
updating them specifically for each host. So the deepcopy function is meant to
remove those common pointers and create totally independent objects that don't
interlink so we can safely update each of them independently.

That does not happen with json, as, afaik, there's no supported way to share
common definitions like that.

Hmm, that was a good explanation on why any deepcopy is needed, not on why use our own deepcopy :/, my bad.

An example of that issue:

In [36]: import yaml
In [37]: myyaml='''
something: &common_stuff
  key: value
  key2: value2
  key3:
    - one
    - two

one:
  <<: *common_stuff
two:
  <<: *common_stuff

'''
In [38]: res = yaml.load(myyaml)
In [39]: res
Out[39]: 
{'one': {'key': 'value', 'key2': 'value2', 'key3': ['one', 'two']},
 'something': {'key': 'value', 'key2': 'value2', 'key3': ['one', 'two']},
 'two': {'key': 'value', 'key2': 'value2', 'key3': ['one', 'two']}}
In [40]: res['one']
Out[40]: {'key': 'value', 'key2': 'value2', 'key3': ['one', 'two']}
In [41]: res['one'] is res['two']
Out[41]: False
In [42]: res['one']['key3'] is res['two']['key3']
Out[42]: True

I don't see any issue overall, I'll try replacing it with the stdlib one and do some tests, see if it breaks anything.

Just replacing it with the stdlib copy.deepcopy does not seem to work, tests are failing for me after the change, will investigate:

Is the YAML there correct? I expect a prefix for the artifacts. Something like:

 - file: /var/log/something.log
 - file: /var/log/something_else.log

@mykaul - I had a look at the /ovirt.collect/suite.yaml file, can you elaborate what you mean(what you think is wrong there)?
The error is in parsing the yaml as far as I understand(and not on different expected output) .

@nvgoldin - I don't know why my change broke the parsing. I wasn't sure the YAML is entirely correct - for multiple entries, I expect a prefix (as I've shown in my previous comment)

we ensure that domains are processed in the order they are specified
in the relevant configuration files.
