vmware_nsx_tempest development and execution guide

vmware_nsx_tempest hosts vmware_nsx's functional api and scenario tests.

All vmware_nsx_tempest tests are in "master" branch. For this reason, it is recommended to have your own developer version of vmware-nsx repo installed outside the devstack folder, /opt/stack/.

For example at /opt/devtest folder. In doing so, you can install editable vmware-nsx repo under tempest VENV environemnt.

Installation:

Installed at your own development env, for example /opt/devtest/:

cd /opt/devtest git clone https://github.com/openstack/vmware-nsx

Assume the tempest directory is at /opt/devtest/os-tempest.

cd /opt/devtest/os-tempest source .venv/bin/activate pip install -e /opt/devtest/vmware-nsx/

run command

pip show vmware-nsx

and you should observe the following statements:

Location: /opt/devtest/vmware-nsx

and under section of Entry-points:

[tempest.test_plugins] vmware-nsx-tempest-plugin = vmware_nsx_tempest.plugin:VMwareNsxTempestPlugin

Validate installed vmware_nsx_tempest succesfully do:

cd /opt/devtest/os-tempest tools/with_venv.sh testr list-tests vmware_nsx_tempest.*l2_gateway

if no test lists created, your installation failed.

Execution:

vmware_nsx_tempest tests are tempest tests, you need to run from tempest directory. For example, to run only l2-gateway tests:

cd /opt/devtest/os-tempest ./run_tempest.sh -t vmware_nsx_tempest.*test_l2_gateway ./run_tempest.sh -d vmware_nsx_tempest.tests.nsxv.api.test_l2_gateway_connection.L2GatewayConnectionTest.test_csuld_single_device_interface_vlan

TechNote on vmware_nsx_tempest:

vmware_nsx_tempest is a plugin to tempest, not neutron, nor vmware_nsx.

It is defined by tempest.test_plugins.

Modules within vmware_nsx_tempest can not see resources defined by vmware_nsx. Commands like following are not acceptable, unless vmware_nsx is installed in your tempest environment.

from vmware_nsx._i18n import _LI, _LE import vmware_nsx.shell.admin.plugins.common.utils as admin_utils

TechNote on logging:

tempest repo itself does not enforce LOG complying to _i18n. So for tempest tests for vmware-nsx, that is vmware_nsx_tempest, should use LOG.debug() command.

If you need to log other than debug level, please do this:

from vmware_nsx_tempest._i18n import _LI, _LE, _LW, _LC

Customize it depending on the log level your scripts will use.
