Welcome!
========
vmware_nsx_tempest is a plugin module to openstack tempest project.
If you are not familiar with tempest, please refer to:
http://docs.openstack.org/developer/tempest
It is implemented with tempest external plugin.
The official design sepcification is at:
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/184992/
Overview
========
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:
-------------
On your own development folder, for example /opt/devtest/:
# install your own tempest development env at /opt/devtest/os-tempest/
cd /opt/devtest
git clone https://github.com/openstack/tempest os-tempest
cd os-tempest
python tools/install_venv.py
# install vmware-nsx master branch at /opt/devtest/vmware-nsx
cd /opt/devtest
git clone https://github.com/openstack/vmware-nsx
Install vmware_nsx_tempest to your tempest development environment:
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
Your installation failed, if no tests are shown.
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 _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,
use LOG.debug() command.
However, if you need to log other than debug level, please do:
from vmware_nsx_tempest._i18n import _LI
from vmware_nsx_tempest._i18n import _LE
from vmware_nsx_tempest._i18n import _LW
Customize it depending on the log level your scripts will use.
