Short description:

all VM timeout failures produced a generic TimeoutExpiredError with no indication of the root cause.The code always attempted a vnc screenshot on timeout sometimes that step is not needed if vmi is not available.
example : $ virtctl -n default vnc screenshot rhel-10-peach-whippet-55 -f /tmp/abc.png
Can't access VMI rhel-10-peach-whippet-55: VMI is not running

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved VM timeout handling: timeout logs now include the VM's readable status and diagnostic screenshots are captured using the VM object, and only when the VM is in an appropriate state (e.g., Running or Migrating).
  • Tests
    • Updated and added unit tests to validate screenshot capture behavior and to ensure captures are skipped for error statuses.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Updated VNC screenshot collection to accept a VirtualMachine object, use its printableStatus to decide whether to capture, and build commands from vm.name/vm.namespace. Exception handlers in wait_for_running_vm and verify_vm_migrated now log the VM's printableStatus and call collect_vnc_screenshot_for_vms(vm=vm).

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
VM wait/migration handlers
utilities/virt.py
On TimeoutExpiredError in wait_for_running_vm and verify_vm_migrated, log vm.instance["status"]["printableStatus"] and call collect_vnc_screenshot_for_vms(vm=vm) (use VM object rather than name/namespace).
Data collector API & logic
utilities/data_collector.py
collect_vnc_screenshot_for_vms signature changed to accept a VirtualMachine object; reads vm.instance["status"]["printableStatus"], skips capture unless status is RUNNING or MIGRATING (logs a warning), and constructs virtctl command and output filename from vm.name/vm.namespace.
Tests for data collector
utilities/unittests/test_data_collector.py
Updated tests to pass a VM-like VirtualMachine object to collect_vnc_screenshot_for_vms(vm=...); added test ensuring capture occurs for RUNNING and is skipped for error statuses (e.g., ERR_IMAGE_PULL).

Test execution plan request details

CRITICAL: You MUST post an inline review comment on the first changed line of the first file.
The inline comment should contain the Test Execution Plan with the smoke tests recommendation.
Do NOT submit a formal review - just post the inline comment directly.

As an expert software testing engineer, analyze all modified files in this PR and create a targeted test execution plan.
You will post an inline review comment with the test execution plan on the first changed file.
If you fail to run or post a comment, retry.

Analysis Requirements:

  1. Examine code changes in each modified file
  2. Identify affected code paths, functions, and classes
  3. Analyze pytest-specific elements: fixtures (scope, dependencies), parametrization, markers, conftest changes
  4. Trace test dependencies through imports, shared utilities, and fixture inheritance
  5. Detect new tests introduced in the PR
  6. Smoke Test Impact Analysis: Determine if any changes could affect smoke tests by checking:
    • Changes to files/functions used by tests marked with @pytest.mark.smoke
    • Changes to fixtures or utilities imported by smoke tests
    • Changes to conftest.py files that may affect smoke test execution
    • Changes to core infrastructure code (utilities/, libs/) that smoke tests depend on

Your deliverable:
Your change request comment will be based on the following requirements:

Test Execution Plan

  • Run smoke tests: True / False (Based on your smoke test impact analysis - True if any changes may affect smoke tests)
  • path/to/test_file.py - When the entire test file needs verification
  • path/to/test_file.py::TestClass::test_method - When specific test(s) needed
  • path/to/test_file.py::test_function - When specific test(s) needed
  • -m marker - When specific marker(s) can be used to cover multiple cases.

Guidelines:

  • Include only tests directly affected by the changes
  • Use a full file path only if ALL tests in that file require verification
  • Use file path + test name if only specific tests are needed
  • If a test marker can cover multiple files/tests, provide the marker
  • Balance coverage vs over-testing - Keep descriptions minimal

Hardware-Related Checks (SR-IOV, GPU, DPDK):

When PR modifies fixtures for hardware-specific resources:

  • Collection Safety: Fixtures MUST have existence checks (return None when hardware unavailable)
  • Test Plan: MUST verify both WITH and WITHOUT hardware:
    • Run affected tests on cluster WITH hardware
    • Verify collection succeeds on cluster WITHOUT hardware

CRITICAL WORKFLOW COMPLETION RULES:

When responding to this test execution plan request, you MUST follow these rules EXACTLY:

  1. YOUR ONLY DELIVERABLE: Post an inline review comment containing the test execution plan on the first changed line
  2. THEN STOP IMMEDIATELY - Do NOT generate any additional response
  3. FALLBACK ONLY: If submitting the review fails after retrying, post as a regular PR comment
  4. SILENCE = SUCCESS: After successfully submitting the review, your task is complete. No confirmation needed.

ABSOLUTE PROHIBITIONS (violating these creates empty/meaningless reviews):

  • ❌ Do NOT post acknowledgment messages like "Test execution plan posted", "Review posted successfully", "I've successfully posted"
  • ❌ Do NOT mention review IDs, URLs, or confirmation of posting in the PR thread
  • ❌ Do NOT add any follow-up comments after submitting the review
  • ❌ Do NOT reply to confirm task completion
  • ❌ Do NOT explain what you did - just do it and stop

Remember: The pull request review is visible to users. Additional comments are redundant noise.

CRITICAL: Before setting "Run smoke tests: True", you MUST use shell scripts to:
- Trace the actual fixture dependency chain from smoke tests to changed fixtures
- Verify that smoke tests actually import/use changed utilities or functions
- Confirm the dependency path exists; do NOT assume based on scope or semantics
- Be conservative: Session-scoped fixtures or infrastructure-sounding names do NOT
automatically mean smoke test impact. Only flag smoke test impact when you can
demonstrate a concrete dependency path.
WRONG: "This session-scoped storage fixture might affect smoke tests"
RIGHT: "Smoke test X uses fixture Y, which depends on the changed fixture Z"

Learning: In the openshift-virtualization-tests repository, when responding to test execution plan requests from openshift-virtualization-qe-bot-3, do NOT use "REQUEST_CHANGES" review type if the PR author has already marked the PR as verified (e.g., with `/verified` command). Test execution plans are informational guides, not blocking requirements. Use COMMENT event for informational test plans, or only REQUEST_CHANGES if there are actual code issues that need to be addressed before merging.

Learning: In the openshift-virtualization-tests repository, when determining smoke test impact for test execution plans, only set "Run smoke tests: True" if there is a verified, traceable dependency path from smoke tests to the changed code. Session-scoped fixtures or infrastructure-sounding changes do NOT automatically imply smoke test impact - the dependency chain must be explicitly verified using shell scripts before recommending smoke test execution.

Learning: In the openshift-virtualization-tests repository, when determining smoke test impact for changes affecting py_config["os_login_param"], follow this verification methodology: (1) Find all smoke tests: `rg "pytest.mark.smoke" --type=py -B2 | grep "def test_"`, (2) For each smoke test file, search for VM creation patterns: `rg "VirtualMachineForTests|running_vm|VirtualMachineForTestsFromTemplate|wait_for_ssh|check_ssh_connectivity"`, (3) Trace the dependency chain: smoke test → VirtualMachineForTests/running_vm() → wait_for_ssh_connectivity() (default enabled) → vm.login_params property → py_config["os_login_param"][vm.os_flavor], (4) Check utilities/virt.py for login_params usage: `rg "os_login_param|login_params" utilities/virt.py -C3`. Any smoke test creating VMs with default SSH connectivity checks (running_vm with check_ssh_connectivity=True) depends on os_login_param, even if the test doesn't directly reference it.

Learning: In the openshift-virtualization-tests repository, user rnetser prefers to keep refactoring PRs (like PR `#2469`) strictly focused on moving/organizing code into more granular modules without adding new functionality, error handling, or behavioral changes. Such improvements should be handled in separate PRs.

Learning: For PRs that only remove or modify pytest markers (like removing pytest.mark.post_upgrade) without changing test logic in openshift-virtualization-tests, collection verification using `pytest --collect-only` is sufficient. Full test execution is not required to verify marker-only changes.

Learning: In the openshift-virtualization-tests repository, when conftest.py or utilities/bitwarden.py changes affect py_config["os_login_param"], smoke test impact must be determined by: (1) finding all smoke tests using `rg "pytest.mark.smoke"`, (2) checking each for VM creation patterns (VirtualMachineForTests, running_vm, VirtualMachineForTestsFromTemplate), (3) tracing whether running_vm is called with default check_ssh_connectivity=True, which accesses vm.login_params property that reads py_config["os_login_param"][vm.os_flavor]. The dependency chain is: smoke test → VM creation → running_vm → wait_for_ssh_connectivity → vm.login_params → os_login_param. Any smoke test creating VMs with SSH connectivity (the default) depends on os_login_param.

Learning: In the RedHatQE/openshift-virtualization-tests repository, when introducing STD (Standard Test Definition) PRs that define test case structure without implementation, it's acceptable and intentional to use `__test__ = False` to block pytest collection until the tests are fully implemented in a follow-up PR. The STD workflow involves: (1) defining test structure, markers, and documentation first, (2) implementing the actual test logic and removing the collection blocker in a subsequent PR.

the error is partial; could also fail on wait_for_vm_interfaces

based on the pr description, a proper error message should be added to wait_for_interfaces and check_ssh_connectivity and not add a generic error here

Test execution plan request details

CRITICAL: You MUST post an inline review comment on the first changed line of the first file.
The inline comment should contain the Test Execution Plan with the smoke tests recommendation.
Do NOT submit a formal review - just post the inline comment directly.

As an expert software testing engineer, analyze all modified files in this PR and create a targeted test execution plan.
You will post an inline review comment with the test execution plan on the first changed file.
If you fail to run or post a comment, retry.

Analysis Requirements:

  1. Examine code changes in each modified file
  2. Identify affected code paths, functions, and classes
  3. Analyze pytest-specific elements: fixtures (scope, dependencies), parametrization, markers, conftest changes
  4. Trace test dependencies through imports, shared utilities, and fixture inheritance
  5. Detect new tests introduced in the PR
  6. Smoke Test Impact Analysis: Determine if any changes could affect smoke tests by checking:
    • Changes to files/functions used by tests marked with @pytest.mark.smoke
    • Changes to fixtures or utilities imported by smoke tests
    • Changes to conftest.py files that may affect smoke test execution
    • Changes to core infrastructure code (utilities/, libs/) that smoke tests depend on

Your deliverable:
Your change request comment will be based on the following requirements:

Test Execution Plan

  • Run smoke tests: True / False (Based on your smoke test impact analysis - True if any changes may affect smoke tests)
  • path/to/test_file.py - When the entire test file needs verification
  • path/to/test_file.py::TestClass::test_method - When specific test(s) needed
  • path/to/test_file.py::test_function - When specific test(s) needed
  • -m marker - When specific marker(s) can be used to cover multiple cases.

Guidelines:

  • Include only tests directly affected by the changes
  • Use a full file path only if ALL tests in that file require verification
  • Use file path + test name if only specific tests are needed
  • If a test marker can cover multiple files/tests, provide the marker
  • Balance coverage vs over-testing - Keep descriptions minimal

Hardware-Related Checks (SR-IOV, GPU, DPDK):

When PR modifies fixtures for hardware-specific resources:

  • Collection Safety: Fixtures MUST have existence checks (return None when hardware unavailable)
  • Test Plan: MUST verify both WITH and WITHOUT hardware:
    • Run affected tests on cluster WITH hardware
    • Verify collection succeeds on cluster WITHOUT hardware

CRITICAL WORKFLOW COMPLETION RULES:

When responding to this test execution plan request, you MUST follow these rules EXACTLY:

  1. YOUR ONLY DELIVERABLE: Post an inline review comment containing the test execution plan on the first changed line
  2. THEN STOP IMMEDIATELY - Do NOT generate any additional response
  3. FALLBACK ONLY: If submitting the review fails after retrying, post as a regular PR comment
  4. SILENCE = SUCCESS: After successfully submitting the review, your task is complete. No confirmation needed.

ABSOLUTE PROHIBITIONS (violating these creates empty/meaningless reviews):

  • ❌ Do NOT post acknowledgment messages like "Test execution plan posted", "Review posted successfully", "I've successfully posted"
  • ❌ Do NOT mention review IDs, URLs, or confirmation of posting in the PR thread
  • ❌ Do NOT add any follow-up comments after submitting the review
  • ❌ Do NOT reply to confirm task completion
  • ❌ Do NOT explain what you did - just do it and stop

Remember: The pull request review is visible to users. Additional comments are redundant noise.

CRITICAL: Before setting "Run smoke tests: True", you MUST use shell scripts to:
- Trace the actual fixture dependency chain from smoke tests to changed fixtures
- Verify that smoke tests actually import/use changed utilities or functions
- Confirm the dependency path exists; do NOT assume based on scope or semantics
- Be conservative: Session-scoped fixtures or infrastructure-sounding names do NOT
automatically mean smoke test impact. Only flag smoke test impact when you can
demonstrate a concrete dependency path.
WRONG: "This session-scoped storage fixture might affect smoke tests"
RIGHT: "Smoke test X uses fixture Y, which depends on the changed fixture Z"

Learning: In the openshift-virtualization-tests repository, when determining smoke test impact for changes affecting py_config["os_login_param"], follow this verification methodology: (1) Find all smoke tests: `rg "pytest.mark.smoke" --type=py -B2 | grep "def test_"`, (2) For each smoke test file, search for VM creation patterns: `rg "VirtualMachineForTests|running_vm|VirtualMachineForTestsFromTemplate|wait_for_ssh|check_ssh_connectivity"`, (3) Trace the dependency chain: smoke test → VirtualMachineForTests/running_vm() → wait_for_ssh_connectivity() (default enabled) → vm.login_params property → py_config["os_login_param"][vm.os_flavor], (4) Check utilities/virt.py for login_params usage: `rg "os_login_param|login_params" utilities/virt.py -C3`. Any smoke test creating VMs with default SSH connectivity checks (running_vm with check_ssh_connectivity=True) depends on os_login_param, even if the test doesn't directly reference it.

The dependency chain is: smoke test → VM creation → running_vm → wait_for_ssh_connectivity → vm.login_params → os_login_param.

Therefore, defensive guards checking for empty IP addresses in SR-IOV VM fixtures (like `sriov_vm` in tests/network/sriov/conftest.py) are not necessary—if neither `ipv4_supported_cluster` nor `ipv6_supported_cluster` is True, the cluster is considered broken and will fail sanity validation.

I don't see the benefit in your approach

Positive checks easier to read.
Early return make sense in big functions, but this is a short function with only 2 possible ways: if possible - do screenshot, else - print message

LOGGER.error(
f"VM {vm.name} timed out during '{failed_phase}' with status '{printable_status}' "
f"after {wait_until_running_timeout}s."
)

as @rnetser said - proper error messages should be added directly in functions wait_for_interfaces and check_ssh_connectivity

Here you shoud not print any generic error messages, the idea of current try/except was - collect vnc screenshot before raising the exceptions. Addin logger messages related to other functions here does not make sense.

do not get and print VM status here. Do that all that in collect_vnc_screenshot_for_vms.

wait_for_vm_interfaces:
- Validate reported interface count against VMI spec

wait_for_ssh_connectivity:
- Add try/except TimeoutExpiredError with error log on timeout.
- Replace sleep=5 with TIMEOUT_5SEC constant.

wait_for_running_vm / verify_vm_migrated:
- Move specific error logging into each helper so callers own their
  diagnostics

collect_vnc_screenshot_for_vms:
- Fetch printable_status ,Capture screenshots only for Running or Migrating VMs and log a warning
  and skip for non booted vmc
