Introduction

The Monasca Tempest Tests use the OpenStack Tempest Plugin Interface. This README describes how to configure and run them using a variety of methods. Currently the devstack environment is needed to run the tests. Instructions on setting up a devstack environment can be found here: https://github.com/openstack/monasca-api/devstack/README.md.

Configuring to run the Monasca Tempest Tests

1. Clone the OpenStack Tempest repo, and cd to it.

   git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack/tempest.git
   cd tempest
   

2. Create a virtualenv for running the Tempest tests and activate it. For example in the Tempest root dir

   virtualenv .venv
   source .venv/bin/activate
   

3. Install the Tempest requirements in the virtualenv.

   pip install -r requirements.txt -r test-requirements.txt
   

4. Create etc/tempest.conf in the Tempest root dir by running the following command:

   oslo-config-generator --config-file tempest/cmd/config-generator.tempest.conf  --output-file etc/tempest.conf
   

   Add the following sections to tempest.conf for testing using the devstack environment.

   [identity]
   
   auth_version = v3
   uri = http://127.0.0.1/identity_admin/v2.0/
   uri_v3 = http://127.0.0.1/identity_admin/v3/
   user_lockout_failure_attempts = 2
   user_locakout_duration = 5
   user_unique_last_password_count = 2
   admin_domain_scope = True
   
   [auth]
   
   use_dynamic_credentials = True
   admin_project_name = admin
   admin_username = admin
   admin_password = secretadmin
   admin_domain_name = Default
   

   Edit the variable values in the identity section to match your particular environment.

5. Create etc/logging.conf in the Tempest root dir by making a copying logging.conf.sample.

6. Clone the monasca-api repo in a directory somewhere outside of the Tempest root dir.

7. Install the monasca-api in your venv, which will also register the Monasca Tempest Plugin as, monasca_tests.

   cd into the monasca-api root directory. Making sure that the tempest virtual env is still active, run the following command.

   python setup.py install
   

See the OpenStack Tempest Plugin Interface, for more details on Tempest Plugins and the plugin registration process.

Running the Monasca Tempest Tests

The Monasca Tempest Tests can be run using a variety of methods including:

1. Testr
2. Os-testr
3. PyCharm
4. Tempest Scripts in Devstack

Run the tests from the CLI using testr

Testr is a test runner that can be used to run the Tempest tests.

1. Initializing testr is necessary to set up the .testrepository directory before using it for the first time. In the Tempest root dir:

   testr init
   

2. Create a list of the Monasca Tempest Tests in a file:

   testr list-tests monasca_tempest_tests > monasca_tempest_tests
   

3. Run the tests using testr:

   testr run --load-list=monasca_tempest_tests
   

You can also use testr to create a list of specific tests for your needs.

Run the tests using Tempest Run command

tempest run is a domain-specific command to be used as the primary entry point for running Tempest tests.

1. In the Tempest root dir:

   tempest run -r monasca_tempest_tests
   

Run the tests from the CLI using os-testr (no file necessary)

Os-testr is a test wrapper that can be used to run the Monasca Tempest tests.

1. In the Tempest root dir:

   ostestr --serial --regex monasca_tempest_tests
   

   --serial option is necessary here. Monasca tempest tests can't be run in parallel (default option in ostestr) because some tests depend on the same data and will randomly fail.

Running/Debugging the Monasca Tempest Tests in PyCharm

You need to install nose for running tests from PyCharm:

pip install nose

Assuming that you have already created a PyCharm project for the monasca-api do the following:

1. In PyCharm, Edit Configurations and add a new Python tests configuration by selecting Python tests->Nosetests.
2. Name the test. For example TestVersions.
3. Set the path to the script with the tests to run. For example, ~/repos/monasca-api/monasca_tempest_tests/api/test_versions.py
4. Set the name of the Class to test. For example TestVersions.
5. Set the working directory to your local root Tempest repo. For example, ~/repos/tempest.
6. Select the Python interpreter for your project to be the same as the one virtualenv created above. For example, ~/repos/tempest/.venv
7. Run the tests. You should also be able to debug them.
8. Step and repeat for other tests.

Run the tests from the CLI using tempest scripts in devstack

1. Create a virtualenv in devstack for running the tempest tests and activate it:

   cd /opt/stack/tempest
   virtualenv .venv
   source .venv/bin/activate
   

2. Install the tempest requirements in the virtualenv:

   pip install -r requirements.txt -r test-requirements.txt
   

3. If you want to test changes in monasca-api code on your local machine, change directory to monasca-api and install the latest monasca-api code:

   cd /vagrant_home/<monasca-api directory>
   python setup.py install
   

   Or if you want to use the current monasca api in devstack:

   cd /opt/stack/monasca-api
   python setup.py install
   

4. Run tempest tests:

   cd /opt/stack/tempest
   testr init
   ostestr --serial --regex monasca_tempest_tests

In addition to the above references, another source of information is the following OpenStack projects:

• Manila Tempest Tests
• Congress Tempest Tests. In particular, the Manila Tempest Tests were used as a reference implementation to develop the Monasca Tempest Tests. There is also a wiki HOWTO use tempest with manila that might be useful for Monasca too.

Issues

• Update documentation for testing using Devstack when available.
• Consider changing from monasca_tempest_tests to monasca_api_tempest_tests.
