What it is and what it does
kcidb-io is a Python library for working with Linux Kernel CI reports stored in JSON format. It provides schema validation using JSON Schema Draft-07 and utilities to create and manipulate kernel testing data. The library is part of the larger kcidb ecosystem for maintaining kernel CI services.
The package is lightweight, depending only on jsonschema for validation. It exposes schema versions as class attributes and allows exporting schemas to files. The library targets developers integrating kernel CI reporting into testing pipelines or CI infrastructure, and it requires Python 3.10 or later.
Use it for
- Validate kernel CI test reports in JSON format before storing or transmitting them to a kcidb service.
- Create new empty kernel CI reports programmatically and ensure they conform to the current schema.
- Export the JSON Schema definition to file for use with external schema validators or documentation.
- Integrate kernel testing data validation into CI/CD pipelines that generate or consume kernel test results.
