When /cache is unwritable, recovery hits a crash loop. Because it passes nullptr to fileno(3) when writing back the locale file. This prevents user from recovering a device - it cannot boot far enough to recovery menu which allows wiping /cache. Bug: 63927337 Test: Corrupt /cache and boot into recovery on bullhead: 1. m -j recoveryimage 2. fastboot erase cache 3. fastboot boot $OUT/recovery.img 4. recovery menu shows up.

The Recovery Image
Quick turn-around testing
mm -j && m ramdisk-nodeps && m recoveryimage-nodeps
# To boot into the new recovery image
# without flashing the recovery partition:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot $ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT/recovery.img
Running the tests
# After setting up environment and lunch.
mmma -j bootable/recovery
# Running the tests on device.
adb root
adb sync data
# 32-bit device
adb shell /data/nativetest/recovery_unit_test/recovery_unit_test
adb shell /data/nativetest/recovery_component_test/recovery_component_test
# Or 64-bit device
adb shell /data/nativetest64/recovery_unit_test/recovery_unit_test
adb shell /data/nativetest64/recovery_component_test/recovery_component_test
Running the manual tests
recovery-refresh and recovery-persist executables exist only on systems without
/cache partition. And we need to follow special steps to run tests for them.
-
Execute the test on an A/B device first. The test should fail but it will log some contents to pmsg.
-
Reboot the device immediately and run the test again. The test should save the contents of pmsg buffer into /data/misc/recovery/inject.txt. Test will pass if this file has expected contents.
ResourceTest validates whether the png files are qualified as background text
image under recovery.
1. `adb sync data` to make sure the test-dir has the images to test.
2. The test will automatically pickup and verify all `_text.png` files in
the test dir.
