Monty Taylor 84538d8870 Use clouds.yaml from devstack for functional tests
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.

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
