Pike Series Release Notes

16.0.4

New Features

  • The tempest_images data structure for the os_tempest role now expects the values for each image to include name (optionally) and format (the disk format). Also, the optional variable checksum may be used to set the checksum expected for the file in the format <algorithm>:<checksum>.

  • The default location for the image downloads in the os_tempest role set by the tempest_image_dir variable has now been changed to be /opt/cache/files in order to match the default location in nodepool. This improves the reliability of CI testing in OpenStack CI as it will find the file already cached there.

  • A new variable has been introduced into the os_tempest role named tempest_image_downloader. When set to deployment-host (which is the default) it uses the deployment host to handle the download of images to be used for tempest testing. The images are then uploaded to the target host for uploading into Glance.

Deprecation Notes

  • The following variables have been removed from the os_tempest role to simplify it. They have been replaced through the use of the data structure tempest_images which now has equivalent variables per image. - cirros_version - tempest_img_url - tempest_image_file - tempest_img_disk_format - tempest_img_name - tempest_images.sha256 (replaced by checksum)

Bug Fixes

  • The os_tempest tempest role was downloading images twice - once arbitrarily, and once to use for testing. This has been consolidated into a single download to a consistent location.

16.0.0

New Features

  • Added new variable tempest_volume_backend_names and updated templates/tempest.conf.j2 to point backend_names at this variable

Upgrade Notes

  • The openstack_tempest_gate.sh script has been removed as it requires the use of the run_tempest.sh script which has been deprecated in Tempest. In order to facilitate the switch, the default for the variable tempest_run has been set to yes, forcing the role to execute tempest by default. This default can be changed by overriding the value to no. The test whitelist may be set through the list variable tempest_test_whitelist.

Deprecation Notes

  • Removed tempest_volume_backend1_name and tempest_volume_backend1_name since backend1_name and backend2_name were removed from tempest in commit 27905cc (merged 26/04/2016)
