Hello all!
Checkbox v3.0.0 is available as Debian package (in the Testing PPA) and snaps (in the beta channel)! We have made several modifications to checkbox in this last period, most notably we have completely overhauled the naming of Checkbox remote to make it more inclusive (code-wise) and clearer (user-wise). You are going to receive a warning from Checkbox in case you use the old nomenclature but let me introduce the new one here for you:
- Agent is the side of Checkbox remote that runs on the system under test. It was called service previously. The agent will be automatically started from the snap as it was before, if you want to start it manually you can do so by running checkbox.checkbox-cli run-agent
- Controller is the side of Checkbox remote that controls the agent, selecting which tests to run and displaying the output in your terminal. It was called remote previously. The controller can be started running checkbox.checkbox-cli control $AGENT_IP.
Breaking Changes:
With this version comes one breaking change. If you upgrade to this version you will not be able to resume a remote session that was started before 2022-04-14. If for whatever reason you need to recover some of these old sessions, reach out! You can find us on Mattermost or on Discourse.
