Using With Zuul

gabbi-tempest is designed to work well with OpenStack infrastructure. A base zuul job, named ‘gabbi-tempest’, is provided. Children of this job need to only define the path of where their gabbi YAML files are located and then request that the job run. For example a job for nova where the YAML files live in a directory named gate/gabbits from the root of the repository would look like this:

- job:
  name: nova-gabbi-tempest
  parent: gabbi-tempest
  timeout: 10800
  description: |
      Test live nova using gabbi.
  vars:
    gabbi_tempest_path: "{{ devstack_base_dir|default('/opt/stack') }}/nova/gate/gabbits"

Once that job is in place, further tests are added by adding more YAML files to the gate/gabbits directory.

More Detail

The gabbi-tempest zuul job defines a small number of required settings, but has its parent, devstack-tempest, do most of the work. The settings:

• Add openstack/gabbi-tempest to required-projects, making sure the latest version of the plugin is available.
• Chooses the all tox environment when running tempest.
• Passes gabbi as the test regular expression.
• Sets concurrency to 1 to make sure the gabbi tests run in order (otherwise duplicate tests can run).
• Sets TEMPEST_PLUGINS.
• Turns on Python 3..
