Peter Hutterer	2409bfda88	pyxtest: rework the request handling to avoid to_bytes() invocations ... xclient.send_request() should just take a Request object and handle to_bytes with the right byte order. This avoids typos/copy-paste errors in tests when the byte order changes between tests. Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests/2216>	2026-05-20 23:05:35 +00:00
Peter Hutterer	a49dc5c7d5	pyxtest: document the --display option in the README ... Fixes: 4d79ddd0b4 ("pyxtest: add --display for running a test against a manually started server") Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests/2216>	2026-05-20 23:05:35 +00:00
Peter Hutterer	9ad275a8f1	pyxtest: require root to run the test as Xorg ... This is the easiest way to notify users that it just won't run as-is. Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests/2213>	2026-05-15 04:14:37 +00:00
Peter Hutterer	4d79ddd0b4	pyxtest: add --display for running a test against a manually started server ... This makes it much easier to debug an individual test since we can now start an X server via valgrind/gdb/whatever and have the test client connect to that server.

Peter Hutterer	bea8d65fc8	test: add pytest-based test suite ... This test suite is primarily aimed at reproducing the various CVE issues we've had over the years that require custom crafted protocol requests. It may also be useful for other testing. Wrapped in python because pytest is a powerful test suite runner and writing custom buffers is easy. The architecture is so that we fork off an X server (one or more of Xvfb, Xwayland, Xorg) and then run our test clients against that to check whether we get the right reply, or crash the server, or whether valgrind complains about something (valgrind is started automatically for tests that are marked as such). Tests can be run manually via pytest or via meson test.
