os_tempest configuration¶
This page shows all of the variables which can be set in order to control
the behaviour of os_tempest role and provides examples on how to do so.
For a list of all variables with a default value set, please, refer to the this page.
Set the name of the cloud¶
os-tempest uses named cloud credentials so it requires the name of the
cloud the role will be executed against. The name is provided to
os-tempest via the tempest_cloud_name variable.
In order to use named clouds a clouds.yaml file needs to be present on the
target host. clouds.yaml file needs to be stored at one of the
supported locations,
see here
For more information about named clouds, please, follow to the
os-client-config official documentation
Warning
clouds.yaml file has to be present on the target host - the host
os_tempest is gonna be executed against.
python-tempestconf¶
python-tempestconf is a tool which generates a tempest.conf file necessary
for Tempest execution. For more information about the tool, please,
follow its official documentation.
If you want os_tempest to execute python-tempestconf, prior to Tempest
execution in order to generate tempest.conf file, set
tempest_use_tempestconf variable to true:
tempest_use_tempestconf: true
More information about python-tempestconf arguments can
be found here.
The best way how to pass any arguments to python-tempestconf is using its
profile feature.
os_tempest provides tempest_tempestconf_profile variable for setting
desired python-tempestconf’s arguments.
For example, if you wanted to define debug to true, os-cloud to
demo and override output of python-tempestconf to
/my/location/tempest.conf, it would be done by:
tempest_tempestconf_profile:
debug: true
os-cloud: demo
out: /my/location/tempest.conf
