Tests for Spacewalk. Let's do open source tests for open source software!

To create testing envroment just create following script as root. Script creates KVM guest with Fedora OS on your system so tests can run in oredefined environment and would not disturb your workstation setup. It is possible to define version of Fedora for installation by use variable "$release".

# default version of Fedora is set 24
# export release=23
sudo ./create-kvm-guest.sh

Resulting guest fedora-spacewalk should have 2GB RAM, its IP should be in config/hosts.ini, roots password should be spacewalk and system should have config/id_rsa.pub in /root/.ssh/authorized_keys (private key is config/id_rsa).

Example how to test looks[1]:

# cat runtest.sh
#!/bin/bash
# Include Beaker environment
. /usr/bin/rhts-environment.sh || exit 1
. /usr/share/beakerlib/beakerlib.sh || exit 1

rlJournalStart
    rlPhaseStartTest
        rlRun "cat /proc/filesystems | grep 'ext4'" 0 "Check if ext4 is supported"
    rlPhaseEnd
rlJournalPrintText
rlJournalEnd

For an example test see Spacewalk/Others/Example directory. To run the test, you can:

make -C Spacewalk/Others/Example

TODO: Install test's requirements before running it.

ssh -i config/id_rsa root@$( cat config/hosts.ini ) -C "make run -C /mnt/tests/CoreOS/Spacewalk/Others/Example"

If you have Ansible installed, you can run:

ansible-playbook --private-key config/id_rsa -i config/hosts.ini tests.yaml --extra-vars="test=/CoreOS/Spacewalk/Others/Example"

Or if you like use Fabric and it is isntalled, you can run:

fab run_test:test_name=/CoreOS/Spacewalk/Others/Example"
