#!/usr/bin/env python

from tuxlava.jobs import Job

job = Job(
    device="nfs-x86_64",
    kernel="https://example.com/bzImage",
    rootfs="https://example.com/rootfs.tar.xz",
    tests=["ltp-smoke", "ltp-math"],
    modules="https://example.com/modules.tar.xz",
    parameters={"LAVA_JOB_PRIORITY": 50},
    timeouts={"deploy": 20},
)
job.initialize()
print(job.render())

Using TuxLAVA as a command line

Call tuxlava as follows:

tuxlava --device nfs-x86_64 \
    --kernel /path/or/url/to/Image
    --modules /path/or/url/to/modules /usr/ \
    --rootfs /path/or/url/to/rootfs \
