sslypushenko 13ea5ab160 Setup_env script should install Tempest from tag
setup_env script should be able to install Tempest from specific tag
release. Key -t added to setup_env script. It specifies Tempest tag
release which will be installed as a test runner. By default last tag
from Tempest github repository will be used. Installed by setup script,
Tempest test runner is only single available option for now. Because of
it, option --tempest-dir option is removed from refstack-client

refstack-client

refstack-client is a command line utility that allows you to execute Tempest test runs based on configurations you specify. When finished running Tempest it sends the passed test data back to the Refstack API server.

Environment setup

We've created an "easy button" for Ubuntu, Centos, RHEL and openSuSe.

$ ./setup_env

Options:

a. -t option allows to specify tag in Tempest repository which will be installed. By default, Tempest from last tag release will be used.

Usage

  1. Prepare a tempest configuration file that is customized to your cloud environment.

  2. Change the directory to the refstack-client directory (i.e. cd ~/refstack-client).

  3. Source to use the correct Python environment.

    source .venv/bin/activate

  4. Test your cloud by typing:

    ./refstack-client test -c <Path of the tempest configuration file to use>

    Note:

    1. Adding -v option will show the summary output.
    2. Adding -vv option will show the Tempest test result output.
    3. Adding -t option will only test a particular test case or a test group. This option can be used for quick verification of the target test cases (i.e. -t "tempest.api.identity.admin.test_roles").
    4. Adding --url option will upload the test results to the specified Refstack API server instead of the default Refstack API server. server instead of the default Refstack API server.
    5. Adding --offline option will have your test results not be uploaded.

    Upload:

    If you previously ran a test with refstack-client using the --offline option, you can upload your results to a Refstack API server by using the following command:

    ./refstack-client upload <Path of results file>

    The results file is a JSON file generated by refstack-client when a test has completed. This is saved in .venv/src/tempest/.testrepository. When you use the 'upload' command, you can also override the Refstack API server uploaded to with the --url option.
