Re: [ovirt-devel] ovirt-system-tests hackathon report

[Edward Haas]

Hello there,

I indeed missed this event.
Nevertheless, I would like to add one remark:

The existing suites have differences in how they run the tests and how the
tests are written.
At the networking team, we found the original suites way of running things
and how tests are written problematic.
As a result, work has been done to make it more usable: control its run
flow, use advance capabilities from test frameworks (pytest) and make it as
simple as possible for a developer to add a test.
The result is seen in the network suite, which runs using pytest, has a lib
that wraps the SDK in a more "natural" manner, includes fixtures to handle
resources at different scopes and even has an ansible test.
Tests are NOT dependent on each other in any way, but they may require the
same resource (here fixtures play a role).

You are welcome to feedback on anything you see there, we are trying to
make it dead simple to write tests.

Thanks,
Edy.

Re: [ovirt-devel] ovirt-system-tests hackathon report

[Martin Sivak]

Hi,

just two or three notes from me:

- I had to find a suitable hardware first
- we spent quite some time to actually get OST up and running (missing CPU
flags issue in my case)
- he-basic-ansible-suite-4.2 failed because of package dependencies
(imageio, but probably related to what Sandro already mentioned)
- he-basic-suite-master fails for me because of the SDK version, but I have
not way to check which version is required

Just the last three issues cost me almost the whole day of playing with
lago and OST instead of actually thinking about improvements.

The contribution guide would help indeed as would better compatibility and
some better way of dependency management.

Btw, what would it take to allow ansible based tests? It should not be too
hard to generate an inventory file for the deployment and launch all
playbooks in the test directory. This would make contribution of simple
tests even easier I think.

Best regards

Martin Sivak
