Settings > Clone was a horizontal form with unlabelled checkboxes. The
owner chose this layout from three rendered options: the clone's name
on top, a "Network" card with a new MAC address per NIC, a "Storage"
card with a new volume name per disk, then the optional title and
description and a footer with Clone.
Codex reviewed cloning end to end; these are fixed:
- Every NIC of the clone gets a new random MAC when the form opens.
Only the first did, so a VM with two NICs gave its clone the second
NIC's MAC. Guess MAC is offered for the first NIC only: a name's DHCP
host entry holds one address.
- A VM without a NIC can be cloned: the first NIC's MAC was required.
- The disk name script uses the persistent disks, as the form does; a
disk added pending the next start kept the source's volume name.
- A running or paused VM is not cloned while a copied disk changes at
the next start: the backup copies the running disk, so the clone
would get the old contents under the new definition.
- A derived volume name that does not start with the source's name now
starts with the clone's name and the disk's device, so a second clone
or a second disk does not take the same name.
- Guess for the clone name says when the DHCP file has no free name; it
stopped with a script error.
- The qcow2 metadata preallocation box shows only for a shut-off VM: a
live clone's backup ignores it.
Other users no longer get hidden MAC and disk inputs or the scripts that
filled them: the server derives those values and ignored the posted ones.
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.
