oVirt System Tests

Read the Docs

Welcome to the oVirt System Tests source repository.

This repository is hosted on GitHub:ovirt-system-tests

System requirements

Operating System

Currently OST can run on RHEL or CentOS Stream at least roughly matching the version used by oVirt or RHV. Latest CentOS Stream or RHEL 8 or 9 should work.

Disk Space

ost-images packages that contain the preinstalled images are fairly large, make sure you have enough disk space, 15 GB per each distro variant in /usr/share. Additional space is needed for actual suite run, another 5GB at least in the directory where you run tests from.

Memory

The memory requirements are derived from the VM specs you'll have in the test suite, it is recommended that the host you're using will have at least 16GB of RAM, though basic suite still runs with 8GB.

Permissions

The user account used to run OST should belong to the groups qemu and libvirt. setup_for_ost.sh does that for you.

How to contribute

Submitting patches

Patches are welcome!

Please submit patches to GitHub:ovirt-system-tests. If you are not familiar with the review process for GitHub patches you can read about Working with oVirt GitHub on the oVirt website.

Found a bug or documentation issue?

To submit a bug, suggest an enhancement or report a documentation issue for oVirt System Tests please join oVirt Development forum / mailing list and discuss there.

Still need help?

If you have any other questions, please join oVirt Development forum / mailing list and ask there.

Running the tests

Make sure your machine is set up with setup_for_ost.sh You can use ost.sh for running the complete suite on a concrete ost-images distro E.g. ./ost.sh run basic-suite-master el8stream

You can use --custom-repo for verifying an oVirt patch:

  • On your GitHub account go to Settings/Developer settings/Personal access tokens/Generate new token, and give it the repo scopes.
  • On your ost machine run export GITHUB_TOKEN=personal_access_token
  • Run the tests, e.g ./ost.sh run basic-suite-master el8stream --custom-repo=https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine/pull/pr_number You can pass this option multiple times to test more than 1 build at once.

The environment is left running after it finishes so that you can examine or further use the created environment. It is necessary to clean the environment up aftery every run with ./ost.sh destroy. It is possible to prevent accidental destroying with ./ost.sh lock Some reason. If done, destroy fails with a message. The environment contains inventory, VMs, live VM logs and is normally stored in deployment subdirectory of the repository. The location can be changed through OST_DEPLOYMENT environment variable.

When the environment is up you can use ./ost.sh shell to connect to the VMs. ./ost.sh status shows a little overview of how the OST environment is laid out on the host system.

Advanced use

ost.sh internally uses bash functions from lagofy.sh that you can source into your (bash only, other shells are not supported) environment and use for more granular control. Functions starting with ost_ and OST_ variables can be used to bring up the VMs with custom images, boot OST environment without running tests, or to run individual test cases.

You can also access the web ui easily, locate the engine's IP address in ./ost.sh status. In case of Hosted Engine-based suites where the engine VM is not declared in OST you can inspect the DNS entries of management network by virsh net-dumpxml. Once you've located the engine VM's IP, add it to /etc/hosts. You have to use the exact FQDN (for basic suite you can also use just engine) Now, log in to the web-UI at:

  • URL: https://engine/ovirt-engine/webadmin/
  • Username: admin or admin@ovirt if keycloak is enabled
  • Password: 123456
  • Profile: internal

If you're running OST on a remote machine, you can tunnel a local port directly to the destination machine - from your local machine:

    $ sudo ssh -L 443:192.168.200.2:443 USER@HOST_RUNNING_OST
            ----  =================      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
            (*)   (**)                       (***)

    (*)   - The port on the local machine that the tunnel will be available at.
    (**)  - The machine IP, visible from the *host running OST* . This is were the traffic is tunneled to.
            Usually 192.168.200.2 is the address of ovirt-engine, but you can check that with ./ost.sh status
    (***) - The host running OST which can reach the VMs network and will tunnel the connection.

Running specific tests

It's often useful to run just a single test, usually after running a suite, to test something using the existing machines. Following is an example showing how to run the he-basic-suite, and after it's finished, run again one of the tests.

First, run the suite:

./ost.sh run he-basic-suite-master el8stream

Now, you might change the code, e.g. to run a test with some change in it, or a new test you are developing. Then, run it:

. lagofy.sh
ost_init he-basic-suite-master
ost_run_tc he-basic-suite-master/test-scenarios/test_030_ovirt_auth.py

The first argument to ost_run_tc is the test to run - a module, or a method/class inside one, e.g.:

ost_run_tc basic-suite-master/test-scenarios/test_004_basic_sanity.py::test_vdsm_recovery

An optional second argument is passed as -k to pytest, for selecting tests based on pattern, e.g. this will run test_010_local_maintenance_cli.py and test_012_local_maintenance_sdk.py:

ost_run_tc he-basic-suite-master/test-scenarios local_maintenance

and this will run test_add_hosts and test_verify_add_hosts:

ost_run_tc basic-suite-master/test-scenarios/test_002_bootstrap.py add_hosts

See the pytest documentation for details.

Please note, that these are ran in a separate pytest session, and that several of our tests depend on previous ones to pass, and/or on a specific state of the test VMs.

Development

Make sure your machine is set up with setup_for_ost.sh OST is designed to run concurrently under single non-root user, but in separate checkouts. At runtime it creates "deployment" and "exported-artifacts" directories in the workspace.

Make sure that your new code doesn't depend on anything on the OST host, whenever you need something it's usually a better idea to run that inside one of the VMs.

Running tox tests

For developers of OST, a quick flake8 and pylint runs are available to identify any syntax errors, typos, unused import etc.

To run the flake8/pylint, you'll need to have tox installed. To run pylint without import errors you should also have ovirtdsk4 and ansible-runner installed.

Running linting tests:

tox -e flake8,pylint,black,broken-symlinks

or ost_linters lagofy function.
