Re: [edk2-test] [PATCH 1/1] uefi-sct/SctPkg: setting key toggle state may be unsupported

["Eric Jin" <eric.jin@intel.com>]

Hi Heinrich,

It is reasonable to accept the EFI_UNSUPPORTED. I agree.
The patch had better adjust the StandardLib->RecordMessage to StandardLib->RecordAssertion, and the AssertionType is EFI_TEST_ASSERTION_WARNING.
It gives SCT user a chance to notice this(not silence it) to judge the issue is reasonable or not.

  if (Status == EFI_UNSUPPORTED) {
    AssertionType = EFI_TEST_ASSERTION_WARNING;
  } else {
    if ( EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER != Status) {
      AssertionType = EFI_TEST_ASSERTION_FAILED;
    } else {
      AssertionType = EFI_TEST_ASSERTION_PASSED;
    }
  }

  StandardLib->RecordAssertion (
             StandardLib,
             AssertionType,
             gSimpleTextInputExBBTestConformanceAssertionGuid003,
             L"SIMPLE_TEXT_INPUT_EX_PROTOCOL.SetState - SetState() returns EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER with KeyToggleState being NULL.",
             L"%a:%d: Status - %r",
             __FILE__,
             (UINTN)__LINE__,
             Status
             );

What is your opinion on this?

Best Regards
Eric

It is allowable that a system does not support EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_INPUT_EX_PROTOCOL.SetState(). For instance a serial console would not allow to set toggle keys. In this case do not expect the function to check its arguments. It will typically directly return EFI_UNSUPPORTED.
