Running Nova-PowerVM Tests
This page describes how to run the Nova-PowerVM tests. This page assumes you have already set up an working Python environment for Nova-PowerVM development.
With tox
Nova-PowerVM, like other OpenStack projects, uses tox for managing the virtual environments for running test cases. It uses Testr for managing the running of the test cases.
Tox handles the creation of a series of virtualenvs that target specific versions of Python.
Testr handles the parallel execution of series of test cases as well as the tracking of long-running tests and other things.
For more information on the standard tox-based test infrastructure used by OpenStack and how to do some common test/debugging procedures with Testr, see this wiki page:
PEP8 and Unit Tests
Running pep8 and unit tests is as easy as executing this in the root directory of the Nova-PowerVM source code:
toxTo run only pep8:
tox -e pep8To restrict the pylint check to only the files altered by the latest patch changes:
tox -e pep8 HEAD~1To run only the unit tests:
tox -e py27,py34
