indicoliteplus 044eb6b213 Remove py34 settings from gating
The gating on python 3.4 is restricted to <= Mitaka. This is due to
the change from Ubuntu Trusty to Xenial, where only python3.5 is
available. There is no need to continue to keep these settings.

=============
Running tests
=============
Kolla contains a suite of tests in the
``tests`` and ``kolla/tests`` directories.
Any proposed code change in gerrit is automatically rejected by the OpenStack
Jenkins server [#f1]_ if the change causes test failures.
It is recommended for developers to run the test suite before submitting patch
for review. This allows to catch errors as early as possible.
Preferred way to run the tests
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The preferred way to run the unit tests is using ``tox``. It executes tests in
isolated environment, by creating separate virtualenv and installing
dependencies from the ``requirements.txt`` and ``test-requirements.txt`` files,
so the only package you install is ``tox`` itself:
.. code-block:: console
$ pip install tox
See `the unit testing section of the Testing wiki page`_ for more information.
Following are some simple examples.
To run the Python 2.7 tests:
.. code-block:: console
$ tox -e py27
To run the style tests:
.. code-block:: console
$ tox -e pep8
To run multiple tests separate items by commas:
.. code-block:: console
$ tox -e py27,py35,pep8

Running a subset of tests
-------------------------
Instead of running all tests, you can specify an individual directory, file,
class or method that contains test code, i.e. filter full names of tests by a
string.
To run the tests located only in the ``kolla/tests``
directory use:
.. code-block:: console
$ tox -e py27 kolla.tests
To run the tests of a specific file say ``kolla/tests/test_set_config.py``:
.. code-block:: console
$ tox -e py27 test_set_config
To run the tests in the ``ConfigFileTest`` class in
the ``kolla/tests/test_set_config.py`` file:
.. code-block:: console
$ tox -e py27 test_set_config.ConfigFileTest
To run the ``ConfigFileTest.test_delete_path_not_exists`` test method in
the ``kolla/tests/test_set_config.py`` file:
.. code-block:: console
$ tox -e py27 test_set_config.ConfigFileTest.test_delete_path_not_exists
Coverage Report Generation
--------------------------
In order to get coverage report for Kolla, run the below command.
.. code-block:: console
$ tox -e cover
Debugging unit tests
------------------------
In order to break into the debugger from a unit test we need to insert
a breaking point to the code:
.. code-block:: python
import pdb; pdb.set_trace()
Then run ``tox`` with the debug environment as one of the following::
tox -e debug
tox -e debug test_file_name.TestClass.test_name
For more information see the `oslotest documentation
<http://docs.openstack.org/developer/oslotest/features.html#debugging-with-oslo-debug-helper>`_.
