Well, the main downside to them is that rather than serving as documentation of how to run the tests, they serve as a temptation to developers using them to start adding workarounds for various things and can end up in a situation where what we're gating on acts nothing like what the developers who run that script are actually getting. And then that leads to even more confusion because they don't realize that their problem is being hidden by something hacked into run_tests.sh so they think the automated CI is broken instead. I remember it happening regularly before we started begging people to run tox and instead remove those scripts where possible. -- Jeremy Stanley __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: [email protected]?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
