Some tips for the developer

===========================

This document exists so developers can write tips for other developers |
|

who need to add or fix tests to this environment. |

In a nutshell
|
|

-------------
|
|

||
10 |
The script `maas-package-test` calls nosetest3, which, in turn, runs
|
|
11 |
`maas-integration.py`.

|

14 |
Pausing the test
|
|
15 |
----------------
|
|
16 |

17 |
The `utils.py` file contains a handy function, `pause_until_released`, |
|
18 |
that writes a message to `/tmp/paused` and waits until the file is
|
|
19 |
deleted. It can be used to pause the test program at any given time so |
|
20 |
you can ssh into the machine and inspect it. Another neat trick you can |

Added a friendlier pause |
21 |
do is to stop the program before any test runs. You can then run the |
22 |
tests (and change the test-integration.py file to suit your needs). From |
|
23 |
a folder named like `/tmp/adt-run.Ezz1tN/build.mM6/real-tree`, run
|
|
24 |
`nosetests3 --verbose --stop debian/tests/maas-integration.py` to start
|
|
25 |
it. |

Creating a Jenkins Job
|
|
28 |
----------------------
|
|
29 |
||
30 |
To create a Jenkins job to run a private branch of the CI suite, first |
|
31 |
log into the Jenkins server, then select `New Item` on the left panel.
|
|
32 |
||
33 |
Type in a name that identifies your name and your branch of the CI |
|
34 |
tests. |
|
35 |
||
36 |
Select `Copy existing from` and copy from the desired job. For example,
|
|
37 |
to run the default suite on Xenial, and MAAS code from trunk, use the |
|
38 |
`maas-trunk-xenial` job as the existing item.
|
|
39 |
||
40 |
The configuration screen will appear. You can update the MAAS branch to |
|
41 |
test, the packaging branch to test, and (most importantly) the |
|
42 |
`TESTS_BRANCH`. Update the `TESTS_BRANCH` to point to your version |
|
43 |
of the `qa-lab-tests` repository.
