For those that didn't notice, on the Devstack team we've started to push
back on new in-tree support for all the features. That's intentional.
We've got an external plugin interface now -
http://docs.openstack.org/developer/devstack/plugins.html#externally-hosted-plugins
,
and have a few projects like the ec2api and glusterfs that are
successfully using it. Our Future direction is to do more of this -
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/150789/
The question people ask a lot is 'but, how do I do a gate job with the
external plugin?'.
Starting with the stackforge/ec2api we have an example up on how to do
that: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/153659/
The important bits are as follows:
1. the git repo that you have your external plugin in *must* be in
gerrit. stackforge is fine, but it has to be hosted in the OpenStack
infrastructure.
2. The job needs to add your PROJECT to the projects list, i.e.:
export PROJECTS=stackforge/ec2-api $PROJECTS
3. The job needs to add a DEVSTACK_LOCAL_CONFIG line for the plugin
enablement:
export DEVSTACK_LOCAL_CONFIG=enable_plugin ec2-api
git://git.openstack.org/stackforge/ec2-api
Beyond that you can define your devstack job however you like. It can
test with Tempest. It can instead use a post_test_hook for functional
testing. Whatever is appropriate for your project.
This is awesome Sean! Thanks for the inspiration here. In fact, I just
pushed a series of patches [1] [2] which do the same for the networking-odl
stackforge project.
Thanks,
Kyle
