Skill instructions
Running VMM Tests VMM tests boot full virtual machines and validate behavior. They live in vmmtests/vmmtests/tests/tests/ and use the petri test framework. Always use cargo xflowey vmm-tests-run — never raw cargo nextest run -p vmmtests. The xflowey command handles artifact discovery, dependency building, and test execution automatically. Quick Start bash Run a specific test cargo xflowey vmm-tests-run --filter "test(mytestname)" Run all tests matching a prefix cargo xflowey vmm-tests-run --filter "test(/^boot/)" Run all tests (rarely needed locally) cargo xflowey vmm-tests-run --filter "all()" Usually you don't need --dir — it defaults to target/vmmtests. When cross-compiling for Windows from WSL2, --dir on the Windows filesystem (e.g., --dir /mnt/d/vmmtests) is required only when the selected tests use disk images that need a Windows filesystem: Hyper-V tests, or tests using VHDX / dynamic VHD1 images. For everything else (streamed disks, or plain fixed VHD1 / VMGS / ISO files), the
