There has been a lot of interest in running tempest against real RDO clusters. Having an rpm would make that a lot easier. There are several issues peculiar to tempest that need to be resolved.<br>
<br>
1. The way tempest configures itself and does test discovery depends heavily on the tests being run from a directory containing the tests.<br>
2. Unlike OpenStack python client libraries, tempest changes from release to release in incompatible ways, so you need "havana tempest" to test a havana cluster and an "icehouse tempest" to test icehouse.<br>
<br>
The tempest group has little interest in changing either of these behaviors. Additionally, it would be desirable if a tempest user could install tempest rpms to test different RDO versions on the same machine. Here is a proposal for how this could work and what the user experience would be.<br>
<br>
Dealing with these tempest issues suggests that the the tempest code should be copied to /var/lib/tempest/{4.0,5.0, etc.} and the user should configure a separate directory for each OpenStack cluster to be tested. Each directory needs to contain:<br>
<br>
.testr.conf<br>
an etc directory containing the tempest.conf and logging.conf files<br>
a symlink to the tempest test modules for the appropriate version<br>
a copy of the test run scripts that are in the tools directory of tempest<br>
<br>
To help the user create such directories, there should be a global executable "configure-tempest-directory" that takes an optional version. If multiple versions are present in /var/lib/tempest and no version is specified then the user will be asked which version to configure.<br>
<br>
User experience:<br>
<br>
1. Install tempest rpm: yum install tempest-4.0<br>
2. Run configure-tempest-directory<br>
3. Make changes to tempest.conf to match the cluster being tested (and possibly logging.conf and .testr.conf as well)<br>
4. Run tempest with desired test selection using tools/pretty_tox_serial.sh or tools/ pretty_tox_serial<br>
<br>
Does any one have any comments/suggestions about this?<br>
