From 9e17b0345afe198490689d9f36fab3849e9ef69a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Glass Date: Sun, 3 Jul 2016 09:40:41 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] test/py: Provide a way to check that a command fails Sometimes we want to run a command and check that it fails. Add a function to handle this. It can check the return code and also make sure that the output contains a given error message.
