Hello, dmellado, apevec and I have been working through various problems with the openstack-tempest RPM. I want to summarize some of the issues and give an overview of where things stand. 1) There is an issue with upstream openstack zaqar package that breaks using some of the tempest cli tools. The relevant bug is: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1333884 When installing the mitaka openstack-tempest RPM, two things are broken: 'tempest --help --debug' fails, and shows that the cli entry points are not configured correctly. More crucially, the downstream tempest configuration script stacktraces as well. We proposed a fix for setting the cli options which clears the above errors, but it is failing the upstream gates, so I marked it as WIP: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/327268/ 2) We merged a change to the tempest spec in RDO to remove requirements.txt and test-requirements.txt from the package source. One consequence of that was breaking the ability to run tempest in a virtual environment. The temporary workaround for people who want to use a venv is to download the requirements.txt file from the midstream repo, but once we have fixed the RPM, it should be unnecessary to use a virtual environment. I'm not sure we should be supporting the use case of using a virtual environment in any case, but fixing the RPM should obviate the need for that. That work was tracked here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1342218 3) Even with the zaqar patch from 1) above applied (manually, to site-packages), we hit an issue where the version of urllib3 (and a few associated dependencies) are too old in RDO mitaka. So we have this bug to track getting those packages updated: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1344148 You will note that apevec has builds for these upgrades queued up, and they can be used by installing the testing repo for which he kindly provided a repo definition file in comment #7. 4) When (on a oooq undercloud) the fix from 1) is applied and the upgraded packages are installed from 3), one can get the tempest configuration script to pass, but running the smoketests fails. I've started a bug to track fixing that issue: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1345736 I think that covers the issues that I am aware of right now. dmellado may have additional input here. I wanted people to have an idea of the issues since I will be on PTO Monday 13-Jun. It's essential for us to get the RPM behaving properly so we can import it downstream like we are doing with the other mitaka and newton builds for standing up OSP 9 & 10. Thanks for reading, hth.
