Motivation¶

See #164541. script_run($cmd, die_on_timeout => 0) was declared deprecated some years ago. We should follow up by obsoleting and helping affected users (or revert the deprecation).

Acceptance criteria¶

• AC1: The use case of starting a script, doing something else and finally waiting for the script to finish is still covered.
• AC2: The use case of starting a script and handling a stall or timeout gracefully is still covered
• AC3: No deprecated modes of script_run persist in testapi.pm

Suggestions¶

• Review past decisions
• Provide a change to osado to not have script_run($cmd, die_on_timeout => 0)
• For AC2 it's suggested to use enter_cmd && wait_serial (which should be documented, e.g. a hint on the enter_cmd documentation explaining the possibility to chain with wait_serial would make sense)
