Overview

---

The fuel-library is collection of Puppet modules and related code used by Fuel to deploy OpenStack environments.

The root level contains important repository documentation and license information.

MAINTAINERS

This is repository level MAINTAINERS file. One submitting a patch should contact the apropriate maintainer or invite her or him for the code review. Note, core reviewers are not the maintainers. Normally, cores do reviews after maintainers.

debian/

This folder contains the required information to create fuel-library debian packages.

deployment/

This folder contains the fuel-library Puppet code, the Puppetfile for upstream modules, and scripts to manage modules with librarian-puppet-simple.

doc/

This folder contains RST docs. Currently there is only docs for Noop testing framework.

files/

This folder contains scripts and configuration files that are used when creating the packages for fuel-library.

specs/

This folder contains our rpm spec file for fuel-library rpm packages.

tests/

This folder contains our testing scripts for the fuel-library.

utils/

This folder contains scripts that are useful when doing development on fuel-library

Granular Deployment

---

The top-scope puppet manifests (sometimes also refered as the composition layer) represent the known deploy paths (aka supported deployment scenarios) for the task-based deployment.

Upstream Modules

---

In order to be able to pull in upstream modules for use by the fuel-library, the deployment folder contains a Puppetfile for use with librarian-puppet-simple. Upstream modules should be used whenever possible. For additional details on the process for working with upstream modules, please read the Fuel library for Puppet manifests of the Fuel wiki.

Testing

---

Testing is important for the fuel-library to ensure changes do what they are supposed to do, regressions are not introduced and all code is of the highest quality. The fuel-library leverages existing Puppet module rspec tests, bats tests for bash scripts and noop tests for testing the module deployment tasks in fuel-library.

Module Unit Tests

---

The modules contained within fuel-library require that the module dependencies have been downloaded prior to running their spec tests. Their fixtures.yml have been updated to use relative links to the modules contained within the deployment/puppet/ folder. Because of this we have updated the rake tasks for the fuel-library root folder to include the ability to download the module dependencies as well as run all of the module unit tests with one command. You can run the following from the root of the fuel-library to run all module unit tests.

bundle install
bundle exec rake spec

If you only wish to download the module dependencies, you can run the following in the root of the fuel-library.

bundle install
bundle exec rake spec_prep

If you wish to clean up the dependencies, you can run the following in the root of the fuel-library.

bundle install
bundle exec rake spec_clean

Once you have downloaded the dependencies, you can also just work within a particular module using the usual rake spec commands if you only want to run a single module's unit tests. The upstream module dependencies are not included in the unit tests run by this command. They are excluded by having their name in the utils/jenkins/modules.disable_rspec file.

Module Syntax Tests

---

From within the fuel-library root, you can run the following to perform the syntax checks for the files within fuel-library.

bundle install
bundle exec rake syntax

This will run syntax checks against all puppet, python, shell and hiera files within fuel-libray.

Module Lint Checks

From within the fuel-library root, you can run the following to run lint on all of our puppet files.

bundle install
bundle exec rake lint

This will run puppet-lint against all of the modules within fuel-library but will skip checking the upstream module dependencies. The upstream module dependencies are skipped by adding their name to the util/jenkins/modules.disable_rake-lint file.

Building docs

---

You can use tox to prepare virtual environment and build all RST based guides:

tox -e docs

You can also build a specific guide. For example, to build Noop Tests How-to Guide, use the following command:

tox -e build -- noop-guide

You can find the root of the generated HTML documentation at:

./doc/noop-guide/build/html/index.html

You can also run docs tests with tox. If you like to run individual tests, run:

• tox -e checkniceness - to run the niceness tests
• tox -e checksyntax - to run syntax checks

tox will use the openstack-doc-tools package for execution of these tests.

Puppet module tests

Puppet rspec tests should be provided for an every module's directory included. All of the discovered tests will be automatically executed by the rake spec command issued from the repository root path.

Bats: Bash Automated Testing System

Shell scripts residing in the ./files directories should be covered by the BATS test cases. These should be put under the ./tests/bats path as well. Here is an example bats tests written for the UMM feature. See also the bats how-to.

fuel-library noop

The Noop testing framework is used for testing of the known deploy paths with existing modular tasks. For details, see the README
