Commit Message

Himani Ramesh Barde Sept. 4, 2026, 8:02 a.m. UTC
ptest support for systemd was dropped in 2018 (commit 906230a73b3c) when the recipe switched to meson, as there was no easy way to install and run the test suite. Current systemd and meson resolve this: the meson 'install-tests' option installs the unit-test binaries and a run-unit-tests.py runner under ${prefix}/lib/systemd/tests, and run-unit-tests.py already emits PASS:/SKIP: results per test.

Enable install-tests, package the installed tree into systemd-ptest, and add a run-ptest wrapper that drives run-unit-tests.py. This provides ptest coverage for the systemd:test and libsystemd meson unit-test suites.

The test/units integration tests, which require a booted system, are out of scope here and can be addressed separately.

Verified on systemd 257.6: -Dinstall-tests=true installs 313 test-* unit-test binaries plus run-unit-tests.py; systemd-ptest packages cleanly. The recipe change parses without error against oe-core master (261.2).

[YOCTO #16386]
