Run Tempest test suite

Run all tempest tests:

navigate to the tempest folder in your root directory and run the command

./run_tempest.sh

Run Service-specific API tests:

if you want to run API tests on a specific service (Nova, Cinder, … etc), the syntax is as follows:

./run_tempest.sh tempest.api.$service_type$

where service_type can be compute, volume, image … etc. You can also:

  • specify the API version by adding .v1 or .v2 … etc.
  • add .admin after service_type to run admin tests only

Run a smaller group of tests:

In order to do this easily, know the tests’ directory path. For example, say we want to run Nova tests on servers. We know these tests are located in tempest/api/compute/servers. Then, the command will be:

./run_tempest.sh tempest.api.compute.servers

And say we want to run test_instance_actions.py tests from that directory:

./run_tempest.sh tempest.api.compute.servers.test_instance_actions

And so on!

Run a single test:

In test_instance_actions.py, there are two tests. if we want to run only one of them, we do the following:

./run_tempest.sh tempest.api.service_type.file_name.class_name.test_method_name

So to run test_list_instance_actions, which is a test method in test_instance_actions.py:

./run_tempest.sh tempest.api.compute.servers.test_instance_actions.InstanceActionsTestJSON.test_list_instance_actions

Run Scenario tests:

./run_tempest.sh tempest.scenario

More options!

to get the list from the command line, run ./run_tempest.sh --help

  • -V, –virtual-env Always use virtualenv. Install automatically if not present
  • -N, –no-virtual-env Don’t use virtualenv. Run tests in local environment
  • -n, –no-site-packages Isolate the virtualenv from the global Python environment
  • -f, –force Force a clean re-build of the virtual environment. Useful when dependencies have been added.
  • -u, –update Update the virtual environment with any newer package versions
  • -s, –smoke Only run smoke tests
  • -t, –serial Run testr serially
  • -C, –config Config file location
  • -h, –help Print this usage message
  • -d, –debug Run tests with testtools instead of testr. This allows you to use PDB
  • – [TESTROPTIONS] After the first ‘–’ you can pass arbitrary arguments to testr

Run Tempest unit tests

this has been deprecated, and run_tests.sh will be removed in the new release.
