Hey! Got a question on IRC which seemed fair game for a quick mailing list post:
Q: I see both addCleanup and tearDown in nova's test suite - which one should I use for new code? A: addCleanup All new code should 100% of the time use addCleanup and not tearDown - this is because addCleanups are all guaranteed to run, even if one of them fails, whereas a failure inside of a tearDown can leave the rest of the tearDown un-executed, which can leave stale state laying around. Eventually, as we get to it, tearDown should be 100% erradicated from OpenStack. However, we don't really need more patch churn, so I recommend only working on it as you happen to be in related code. Thanks! Monty _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
