[PATCH 4/9] ktest: Honor empty per-test option overrides
From: Ricardo B. Marlière
Date: Sat Mar 07 2026 - 17:08:37 EST
A per-test override can clear an inherited default option by assigning an
empty value, but __set_test_option() still used option_defined() to decide
whether a per-test key existed. That turned an empty per-test assignment
back into "fall back to the default", so tests still could not clear
inherited settings.
For example:
DEFAULTS
(...)
LOG_FILE = /tmp/ktest-empty-override.log
CLEAR_LOG = 1
ADD_CONFIG = /tmp/.config
TEST_START
TEST_TYPE = build
BUILD_TYPE = nobuild
ADD_CONFIG =
This would run the test with ADD_CONFIG[1] = /tmp/.config
Fix by checking whether the per-test key exists before falling back. If it
does exist but is empty, treat it as unset for that test and stop the
fallback chain there.
Fixes: 22c37a9ac49d ("ktest: Allow tests to undefine default options")
