devstack produces a file called clouds.yaml already with credentials in it. Rather than producing our own config file to run functional tests, just consume the clouds.yaml file that's already there. Closes-Bug: #1507386 Change-Id: I82c071b2cd903b9578d1f2ec515882c815812692
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_URL
Try not to require an additional configuration file
