Running functional tests in the in-process mode uses
the default value for proxy-server object_post_as_copy,
which is True. This patch adds support for an environment
variable to change this value to False so that the fast-post
mode is tested when running in-process functional tests.
The patch also adds a new tox environment func-in-process-fast-post
which forces in-process functional testing with
object_post_as_copy=False.
The motivation for this change, apart from enabling configurable
local testing, is to put support in place for an upstream CI job
that will actually functionally test the fast-post mode, which is
otherwise only covered by unit tests.
There are currently two gate jobs that run the functional tests:
- gate-swift-dsvm-functional runs the tests *twice* against a
devstack swift service, once using tempauth and once using
keystoneauth. The devstack swift service uses the default
object_post_as_copy=True.
- gate-swift-tox-func runs the func tests in in-process mode
which also uses tempauth and object_post_as_copy=True. This
duplicates one of the config scenarios above.
With this change either the gate-swift-tox-func job or a new job
could run the functional tests using object_post_as_copy=False.
