Thanks Michael for securing some funding to get us started with this. With the recent work from Chettam in refactoring our gradle testing tasks, and using Travis stages to build in parallel and over come the 50 minute limit we used to hit, By adding an additional stage we should be able to run all the tests that are present in the core repo. But this would not get us to be able to test the deployment scripts and run the tests using a distributed environment, in Travis we only have 1 VM.
So we are requesting as a start for INFRA to setup 3 VMs in Apache Jenkins, this should allow us to setup an OpenWhisk where we can have 1 node for control plane, and 2 nodes for invokers. This way we should be able to test: - distributed deployment - running all tests against a distributed environment - HA/Balancing testing (i.e. shooting 1 invoker and the other invoker should handle the load) I opened the INFRA ticket today with the specs [1] [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-16668 -- Carlos On Mon, Jun 18, 2018 at 10:48 AM Michael Marth <mma...@adobe.com.invalid> wrote: > A quick update on this: > > Carlos (and others) has been working on the mechanics of getting > distributed tests to run on hardware that is managed by Infra.
