Summary of Changes

Hello @cgwalters, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request resolves an inaccuracy in how memory values were displayed by the bcvk libvirt list --all command. Previously, the tool failed to correctly interpret memory units specified in libvirt XML, leading to misleading output. The changes introduce robust unit conversion logic, ensuring that memory is consistently parsed and presented in megabytes, thereby enhancing the reliability and user-friendliness of the bcvk tool's virtual machine listing capabilities.

Highlights

  • Memory Display Fix: Corrected an issue where the bcvk libvirt list --all command displayed incorrect memory values, such as '4194304MB' instead of '4096MB'.
  • Unit Conversion: Implemented proper unit conversion for libvirt XML memory elements, supporting various units like KiB, MiB, and GiB.
  • Reusable Helpers: Introduced a reusable convert_memory_to_mb() helper function and an XmlNode::parse_memory_mb() method to standardize memory parsing and conversion.

Code Review

This pull request correctly identifies and fixes an issue with memory unit conversion from libvirt XML. The approach of creating a dedicated helper function is good. However, the implementation of the conversion logic has some correctness issues regarding the distinction between decimal and binary memory units as specified by libvirt. I've provided suggestions to fix this, improve robustness, and enhance test coverage to ensure the feature is working as expected.
