Testing Ironic
Testing your changes locally
If you just want to test your changes locally (which you should), the developer documentation provides a good starting point.
Upstream CI
We have several classes of tests run within OpenStack CI:
- pep8 and python unit tests, run from within Ironic.
- Tempest API tests
- http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/tempest/tree/tempest/api/baremetal/base.py
- Devstack starts the Ironic service and create nodes with the "fake" driver.
- Tempest exercises Ironic's API.
- Other services are not involved in this test, but may be started by devstack none the less.
- functional testing, using Nova with Ironic to provision emulated hardware, also run by Tempest.
- http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/tempest/tree/tempest/scenario/test_baremetal_basic_ops.py
- Devstack configures Nova to use the nova.virt.ironic driver, and starts all Ironic services.
- Devstack creates virtual machine(s) and enrolls them in Ironic
- Tempest issues commands to Nova, and validates the resulting operations in Ironic.
Third party CI
Third-party (aka "vendor") drivers are drivers which can not be tested upstream, for instance, because they depend on specific capabilities of physical hardware. Such drivers may be allowed in Ironic if they meet the following requirements:
- each driver must adhere to the existing driver interfaces.
- drivers must function in a common environment with other drivers.
- each driver must have comprehensive unit test coverage and sufficient inline documentation. The unit tests should mock any third-party libraries, so that they can be run without those libraries.
- vendors are responsible for fixing bugs in their driver in a timely fashion.
- vendors provide third-party non-voting tests on supported hardware platform. [*]
- vendors contribute (at least) one developer to upstream participation.
[*] General reference on running third-party CI systems for OpenStack: http://ci.openstack.org/third_party.html
