I did some digging in Tempest this morning and there is a volume snapshots compute API test:
https://github.com/openstack/tempest/blob/master/tempest/api/compute/volumes/test_volume_snapshots.py#L42 However, that's simply testing the nova API proxy to the cinder API to snapshot a volume, it's not actually attached to a server instance. And it's redundant with another Tempest test, so probably needs to be removed or rewritten to include a server. There is the test_stamp_pattern scenario test which snapshots a volume- backed server, but it's currently being skipped (I'm working on unskipping it). So I think we basically need to cleanup https://github.com/openstack/tempest/blob/master/tempest/api/compute/volumes/test_volume_snapshots.py#L42 or add another set of tests in there which do the following: 1. snapshot a volume-backed server that is active (default case) 2. snapshot a volume-backed server that is shutdown 3. snapshot a volume-backed server that is paused 4. snapshot a volume-backed server that is suspended I could see most of that test code being common code in the module, with individual tests calling it and passing in or handling the pre-condition for the server state. ** Also affects: tempest Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: tempest Importance: Undecided => Wishlist -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!
