A VM made without a TPM, a Windows 10 to be upgraded to Windows 11, had
no way to get one but the XML editor. The Options tab has a TPM 2.0
switch, as the RNG one: it adds an emulated TPM of the host's model to
the definition for the next start, or removes it. Its state stays on the
host until the VM is undefined, so a TPM added again has it back. A TPM
the switch did not make (passthrough, 1.2, encrypted, with its own state
path) is left to the XML editor, and a host without swtpm says so.
Two settings the owner chose to add to Settings > Options after the
page's review with Codex. Both change the persistent definition, so
they are saved while the VM runs and used from its next start.
- Random number generator: a switch for a virtio RNG device fed from
the host's /dev/urandom, so a new VM does not wait for entropy at
boot. Another RNG device, or the panel's with a rate or driver, is
shown as the VM's own and left to the XML editor.
- When the guest crashes: Restart or Stop (on_crash restart or
destroy); libvirt's default, Stop, when the definition has none.
Stop keeps a VM that crashes again and again down for a look. Any
other action is shown and left to the XML editor.
Settings > Console gets a Console type field. Serial removes the VM's
graphics device (adding a pty console when there is none); VNC adds the
graphics device new VMs get, on localhost, and then applies the form's
VNC fields, so an administrator can open it to all interfaces for a TCP
compute. Serial is offered only while SERIAL_CONSOLE_ENABLED is on.
131 test modules sat next to the code they test; instances alone had
51 of them beside views.py and utils.py. They move into a
tests/ package per app, and the JavaScript checks into
webvirtcloud/tests/js. Each non-empty tests.py becomes tests/test_views.py;
the empty generated stubs are removed.
Imports of the app's own modules become absolute, paths built from
__file__ go one level up, the live helper is instances.tests.livetest,
and coverage omits */tests/*. The suite discovers the same 960 tests as
before.
