Greentea tests fail to compile in baremetal mode in Mbed OS 5.14

[MarceloSalazar]

Description

The baremetal mode was introduced in Mbed OS 5.12 and we need to be able to run tests to confirm it works well across a number of platforms.

From the baremetal profile, there are two main items that are included: ["platform", "drivers"]

However, there are compile errors when trying to build simple greentea tests for drivers/platform on the Mbed OS baremetal profile.

Steps to reproduce

mbed import https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os-example-blinky-baremetal#mbed-os-5.14
cd mbed-os-example-blinky-baremetal
move main.cpp main.old
mbed test -t ARM -m NUCLEO_F429ZI -n *echo* --compile

...

Build failures:
  * NUCLEO_F429ZI::ARMC6::MBED-OS-TESTS-MBED_DRIVERS-ECHO
        Building project echo (NUCLEO_F429ZI, ARMC6)
        Scan: ARM
        Scan: echo
        Compile [100.0%]: main.cpp
        [Fatal Error] main.cpp@20,10: 'greentea-client/test_env.h' file not found

Thanks for reporting, we really need this to be caught in CI tests

Thx @MarceloSalazar
From my side, I would like to be able to execute tests on non-OS5 targets (MBED2 only ones)

Could this be related to the header files changes introduced as part of 5.14?

[MarceloSalazar]

I can reproduce the same problem in 5.12

I can reproduce the same problem in 5.12

So it has always been broken :(

Wasn't this the case since baremetal was introduced ?

https://os.mbed.com/docs/mbed-os/v5.13/reference/mbed-os-bare-metal.html - this does not state if any of frameworks are available (greentea and others). It should be available but why is not? @ARMmbed/mbed-os-tools Please review

The implementation "requires" does not provide much, the only reference is in the config, so rules what is being picked and how are not clear to me - just what is documented in the page above.

cc @ARMmbed/mbed-os-core - you've been working on fixing some of the baremetal fixes recently

cc @jamesbeyond mentioned that there is some work in progress to add bare metal support in greentea

Out of the box experience:
https://os.mbed.com/docs/mbed-os/v5.14/quick-start/compiling-the-code.html
you can read:
"To build with the Mbed OS bare metal profile, add "requires": ["bare-metal"] to the mbed_app.json file."
Adding this does not work out of the box because of following error:
[Error] main.cpp@27,9: 'ThisThread' has not been declared

There is a bare metal blinky example here:
mbed import https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os-example-blinky-baremetal
but this example is still using wait_ms (deprecated since 5.14).

Thanks for pointing this out. We should update the documentation to point at the bare metal blinky example: https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os-example-blinky-baremetal
and replace the deprecated wait_ms call by wait_us

In term of testing, Greentea is not fully support Baremetal mode yet, we are in the progress of enable the that function. we are looking to finish that before next mbed-os minor release. once it is done, A documentation about how to run Greentea bare-metal test will be published, I'll attached the link here

@AnotherButler Can you update the doc please?
