Awesome, let me know if you need any assistance getting started.
Is it possible to write tests which do a POST/PUT then a loop of GETs until some condition is met (a response_json_paths match on IN_PROGRESS -> COMPLETE)
Not yet, but it is something that has been lurking in the back of my mind. Under the covers the implementation wouldn't be too hard but I've held off because getting the syntax right seem tricky. It should be clear but not too invasive and because of the way the test suites are managed the info would need to be expressed in the chunk of YAML that represents just one request. One option would be to allow a test to sleepy loop and fail N times (or a duration of N seconds) until allowing the failure exception to rise out of the loop. In this case the COMPLETE info would be the success condition and IN_PROGRESS wouldn't be noted at all. Another option would be to express the try again condition (IN_PROGRESS) and the done condition (COMPLETE) with new syntax and loop on try again, finish on done and fail otherwise. I think I prefer the first because it is more general and requires less syntax but it may be insufficiently expressive. What I want to be sure to avoid is clouding up the syntax with a bunch of meta hooey that obscures the basic request and response chunks. So, for example, if it became clear we needed some way to express a sleep then that sleep would be just one key and we'd (somehow) avoid going down the messy road of expressing two differents kinds of sleep: one at top of and one at the bottom of the loop. What might be best is for you or us to write some tests that express what you want to express and then see how best to implement that. This is how the new $ENVIRON template feature got added. -- Chris Dent tw:@anticdent freenode:cdent https://tank.peermore.com/tanks/cdent __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: [email protected]?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
