Currently, the `nodepool --version` command prints a usage message followed by 'nodepool: error: too few arguments' because we are not specifying a subcommand. The proper way to do this is to use the version action in argparser rather than store_true with some logic. Add version_info so it can successfully be imported and a version action to print the imported string. Change-Id: Ic5437d508b27fe4a8e02361cfe345c1f741d3c48
Nodepool
Nodepool is a service used by the OpenStack CI team to deploy and manage a pool of devstack images on a cloud server for use in OpenStack project testing.
Developer setup
Install dependencies:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -qy install git mysql-server libmysqlclient-dev g++\
python-dev python-pip libffi-dev libssl-dev qemu-utils
mkdir src
cd ~/src
git clone git://git.openstack.org/openstack-infra/config
git clone git://git.openstack.org/openstack-infra/nodepool
cd nodepool
sudo pip install -U -r requirements.txt
sudo pip install -e .
If you're testing a specific patch that is already in gerrit, you will also want to install git-review and apply that patch while in the nodepool directory, ie:
Create or adapt a nodepool yaml file. You can adapt an infra/config one, or fake.yaml as desired. Note that fake.yaml's settings won't Just Work - consult ./modules/openstack_project/templates/nodepool/nodepool.yaml.erb in the infra/config tree to see a production config.
If the cloud being used has no default_floating_pool defined in nova.conf, you will need to define a pool name using the nodepool yaml file to use floating ips.
Set up database for interactive testing:
mysql -u root
mysql> create database nodepool;
mysql> GRANT ALL ON nodepool.* TO 'nodepool'@'localhost';
mysql> flush privileges;
Set up database for unit tests:
mysql -u root
mysql> grant all privileges on *.* to 'openstack_citest'@'localhost' identified by 'openstack_citest' with grant option;
mysql> flush privileges;
mysql> create database openstack_citest;
Export variable for your ssh key so you can log into the created instances:
Start nodepool with a demo config file (copy or edit fake.yaml to contain your data):
All logging ends up in stdout.
Use the following tool to check on progress:
After each run (the fake nova provider is only in-memory):
