This ports over most of the functional glanceclient cli tests out from tempest. Change-Id: I59d409ade72c289ed9942ce374cae732a40518aa
| python-glanceclient functional testing |
Idea
Run real client/server requests in the gate to catch issues which are difficult to catch with a purely unit test approach.
Many projects (nova, keystone...) already have this form of testing in the gate.
Testing Theory
Since python-glanceclient has two uses, CLI and python API, we should have two sets of functional tests. CLI and python API. The python API tests should never use the CLI. But the CLI tests can use the python API where adding native support to the CLI for the required functionality would involve a non trivial amount of work.
Functional Test Guidelines
Consume credentials via standard client environmental variables:
OS_USERNAME OS_PASSWORD OS_TENANT_NAME OS_AUTH_URLTry not to require an additional configuration file
