Add a new 'carrier' flag to the InterfaceFlags property of devices to
indicate the current carrier state.
The new flag is equivalent to the 'lower-up' flag for all devices
except the ones that use a non-standard carrier detection mechanism
like NMDeviceAdsl.
The client tests compare the test output with a .expected file that is
commit to git and that contains the expected output.
The expected output contains data like
size: 395
location: clients/tests/test-client.py:842:test_001()/1
cmd: $NMCLI
lang: C
returncode: 0
stdout: 277 bytes
>>>
...
Note that there is the line number (clients/tests/test-client.py:842) of
the source code where nmcli is called. This is to help correlate the output
with the test code.
However, Python 3.8 changes behavior and for function calls that span multiple
lines, frame.f_lineno will give now the starting line (previously, it gave the last
line) (see [1]).
No longer include the line number, as it is not stable accross Python versions.
If you really care, you can set NM_TEST_WITH_LINENO to get the line numbers back.
Of course, then the expected output won't match anymore, and you'd have to regenerate
it first. This is only useful if you debug tests, and want to have it easier to
correlate output with the tests while developing them.

This will make NetworkManager look up APN, username, and password in the
Mobile Broadband Provider database.
It is mutually exclusive with the apn, username and password properties.
If that is the case, the connection will be normalized to
auto-config=false. This makes it convenient for the user to turn off the
automatism by just setting the apn.
Instead of straight-out rejecting extra parameters for various nmcli
sub-commands (such as "nmcli dev status", "nmcli dev wifi rescan" or
"nmcli dev wifi connect", etc.), we just print a warning and go ahead.
This is unhelpful. In case the user makes a typo, we'll do the wrong
thing and possibly even drown the warning in the output.
While at that, let's make the error message consistent. One less string
to translate.

Initscripts already honor the DEVTIMEOUT variable (rh #1171917).
Don't make this a property only supported by initscripts. Every
useful property should also be supported by keyfile and it should
be accessible via D-Bus.
Also, I will soon drop NMSIfcfgConnection, so handling this would
require extra code. It's easier when DEVTIMEOUT is a regular property of
the connection profile.
The property is not yet implemented. ifcfg-rh still uses the old
implementation, and keyfile is not yet adjusted. Since both keyfile
and ifcfg-rh will both be rewritten soon, this property will be
implemented then.
"ipv4.dns-options" and "ipv6.dns-options" are special, in that they can
be either unset/default or an empty list of options. That means, nmcli
must treat these two options differently.
For the (terse) getter, it returns "" for default and " " for empty.
The setter must likewise support and distingish between these two cases.
Cleanup the handling of such options. This only applies to properties of
type "multilist". Hence, add multilist.clear_emptyunset_fcn() handler
that indicates that the property is of that kind.
Try:
nmcli connection modify "$PROFILE" ipv4.dns-options ''
nmcli connection modify "$PROFILE" ipv4.dns-options ' '
and compare the output:
nmcli connection show "$PROFILE" | sed -n '/ipv4.dns-options/ s/.*/<\0>/p'
nmcli -t connection show "$PROFILE" | sed -n '/ipv4.dns-options/ s/.*/<\0>/p'
nmcli -o connection show "$PROFILE" | sed -n '/ipv4.dns-options/ s/.*/<\0>/p'
Leak detection adds unhelpful messages to the stderr of nmcli, making
tests fail. For example:
=================================================================
==17156==ERROR: LeakSanitizer: detected memory leaks
Direct leak of 256 byte(s) in 2 object(s) allocated from:
#0 0x7f08c7e27c88 in realloc (/lib64/libasan.so.5+0xefc88)
#1 0x7f08c7546e7d in g_realloc (/lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0+0x54e7d)
The tests run nmcli with Polish locale and compare the output.
After modifying Polish translation we must regenerate the expected
output.

The 'number' property in GSM settings is a legacy thing that comes
from when ModemManager used user-provided numbers, if any, to connect
3GPP modems.
Since ModemManager 1.0, this property is completely unused for 3GPP
modems, and so it doesn't make sense to use it in the NetworkManager
settings. Ofono does not use it either.
For AT+PPP-based 3GPP modems, the 'number' to call to establish the
data connection is decided by ModemManager itself, e.g. for standard
GSM/UMTS/LTE modems it will connect a given predefined PDP context,
and for other modems like Iridium it will have the number to call
hardcoded in the plugin itself.

On failure the self.fail() message often appears in the middle of the
diff between expected/actual output, making it hard to read. Since
print() output goes to stdout (which is buffered) and self.fail() to
stderr (which is not), flush stdout before printing the failure
message to ensure the two don't mix.
Add a new option that allows to activate a profile multiple times
(at the same time). Previoulsy, all profiles were implicitly
NM_SETTING_CONNECTION_MULTI_CONNECT_SINGLE, meaning, that activating
a profile that is already active will deactivate it first.
This will make more sense, as we also add more match-options how
profiles can be restricted to particular devices. We already have
connection.type, connection.interface-name, and (ethernet|wifi).mac-address
to restrict a profile to particular devices. For example, it is however
not possible to specify a wildcard like "eth*" to match a profile to
a set of devices by interface-name. That is another missing feature,
and once we extend the matching capabilities, it makes more sense to
activate a profile multiple times.
See also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=997998, which
previously changed that a connection is restricted to a single activation
at a time. This work relaxes that again.
This only adds the new property, it is not used nor implemented yet.

Instead of re-fetching the UUID each time with a D-Bus call,
cache/memoize it.
On my system, this improves
$ make check-local-clients-tests-test-client
from 20.9 to 20.4 seconds (- 2.6%). That is not stellar, but noticible
enough to warrant this simple change.
Instead of letting each nmcli run write an individual .expected file,
combine the output of multiple runs in one file (per test).
Advantages:
- since there is a very large number of tests, having a file for each
tests is cumbersome. For example, since they are all added to
$(EXTRA_DIST) (and since we use non-recursive make), autoconf can
easily hit a length limit when processing all the file names.
- previously, whenever we added tests, all .expected files shifted
and the diff was large. Now, there is a chance that the diff is
smaller and more accurate.
