This will allow adding 'check-glanceclient-dsvm-functional' tests in the gate, similar to: * check-novaclient-dsvm-functional * check-keystoneclient-dsvm-functional * check-neutronclient-dsvm-functional * etc Change-Id: Id970db52695db7dc53206aa05fe573995b57aa78

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_URL
|
|
|
|
* Try not to require an additional configuration file
