gabbi-tempest 0.2.2

Run Gabbi Tests as Tempest Plugin

Gabbi-tempest is a Tempest plugin that enables testing the APIs of running OpenStack services, integrated with tempest but without needing to write Python. Instead the YAML format provided by gabbi is used to write and evaluate HTTP requests and responses.

Tests are placed in YAML files in one or more directories. Those directories are added to a GABBI_TEMPEST_PATH environment variable. When that variable is passed into a tempest test runner that is aware of the gabbi plugin, the files on that path will be used to create tempests tests.

The test harness sets a series of enviornment variables that can be used in the YAML to reach the available services. The available variables may be extended in two ways:

• Adding them to the environment that calls tempest if the values are known.

• Setting them in a subclass of the plugin if the values need to be calculated from what tempest knows.

For each service in the service catalog there are <SERVICE_TYPE>_SERVICE and <SERVICE_TYPE>_BASE variables (e.g., PLACEMENT_SERVICE and PLACEMENT_BASE). A useful SERVICE_TOKEN, IMAGE_REF, FLAVOR_REF and FLAVOR_REF_ALT are also available.
