In addition, there are new +requirements and changes in refstack that may also result in the +refactoring of refstack code. This spec identifies code that should +either be deprecated or moved into other projects. + +In addition to that. We've decided to simplify the design of refstack by +removing both the "official" and local testing tracks from refstack. + +Instead we will allow vendors/operators to run tests on their own and +simply submit the results using the refstack-client. + + +Proposed change +=============== + +* Remove templated config config creation: + + Until auto configuration exists in tempest. refstack has decided to + remove support for in app generated config. Instead we will allow + operators to use their own known config file with the refstack-client. + + This change would require: + + * Removing the tempest.conf file generation code in refstack-client. + Add option in refstack-client to take a tempest.conf file as input + parameter. It is the caller's responsibility to construct the + tempest.conf file and pass it to refstack-client. + + * Several functions in web.py will be removed. + + * get_testcases + * get_miniconf + * get_script + + When/if a common tool to generate tempest.conf becomes available we + may revisit reintroducing this feature. + + There is currently a blueprint under review + (https://review.openstack.org/#/c/94473/) to build a tool that will + generate proper tempest.conf using as few input arguments as possible. + +* Remove code to trigger test from web ui functionality. + + Because we've removed the use cases for both local and official web + driven test runs. We can remove all the excess web ui for creating new + clouds and starting and monitoring test runs. + +* tools/tempest_tester.py + + This code being replaced by the new refstack-client. + +* tools/tempest_subunit_test_result.py + + refstack is no longer parsing any raw subunit. The refstack-client + only uploads an array of passing tests. + + We originally planned to contribute this code to the tempest project. + However the tempest ptl is not interested in it because they'd prefer + folks just use the built in subunit parsers. + + We have additionally thought of moving this code into refstack-client. + I am not sure that is the correct path. However I am open to + discussion. + +* tools/execute_test + + Being replaced by the new refstack-client. + + Also need to remove the following files: + + 1: refstack/tools/: + docker_buildfile.py, + docker_buildfile.template + 2: refstack/templates/ + show_report.html, + show_status.html, + tempest.conf, + test_cloud.html + +Data model impact +----------------- + +None, The database will remain as it is. + + +REST API impact +--------------- + +Many functions which are currently included in the web.py file will be +removed once the new v1 api lands. + + +Security impact +--------------- + +None + +Notifications impact +-------------------- + +None + +Other end user impact +--------------------- + +None + +Performance Impact +------------------ + +None + +Other deployer impact +--------------------- + +None + +Developer impact +---------------- + +None + + +Implementation +============== + +Details in the Work Items section. + +Assignee(s) +----------- + +Primary assignee: + Catherine Diep + +Other contributors: + IBM team member + +Work Items +---------- + +Use the "Proposed Change" section to populate work items. + + +Dependencies +============ + +refstack-client and v1 api landing. + + +Testing +======= + +None + + +Documentation Impact +==================== + +None + + +References +========== + +* Tempest blueprint for tempest.conf creation + + https://review.openstack.org/#/c/94473/
