Hi all,
after minimizing the usage of lago in basic suite,
and some minor adjustments in the network suite, we are finally
able to remove lago OST plugin as a dependency [1].
This however comes with a price of keeping lots of ugly ifology, i.e. [2][3].
There's big disparity between OST runs we have on el7 and el8.
There's also tons of symlink-based code sharing between suites - be it 4.3
suites and master suites or simply different types of suites.
The basic suite has its own 'test_utils', which is copied/symlinked
in multiple places. There's also 'ost_utils', which is really messy ATM.
It's very hard to keep track and maintain all of this...
At this moment, we are able to run basic suite and network suite
on el8, with prebuilt ost-images and without lago plugin.
HE suites should be the next step. We have patches that make them
py3-compatible that probably still need some attention [4][5].
We don't have any prebuilt HE ost-images, but this will be handled
in the nearest future.
I think it's good time to detach ourselves from the legacy stuff
and start with a clean slate. My proposition would be to branch
out 4.3 in ovirt-system-tests and not use py2/el7 in the master
branch at all. This would allow us to focus on py3, el8 and ost-images
efforts while keeping the legacy stuff intact.
WDYT?
Great. We don’t really need 4.3 that much anymore.
