allow openQA tests in python
a project by bmwiedemann
Updated over 5 years ago. 9 hacker ♥️.

using perl's Inline::Python module, it should be possible to define openQA test modules in python instead of perl.

first version in https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst/pull/364

open questions remain if we want (and how) to define/change baseclass and use libraries, but as long as use of python tests is completely optional, it does not hurt to have the possibility to run python tests between other perl tests.

    Goals

    • OpenQA has a ton of information that is hard to get via the UI. A tool like this would make my life easier :)
    • Would potentially make it easier in the future to make UI changes without Perl.

    Hack on isotest-ng - a rust port of isotovideo (os-autoinst aka testrunner of openQA) by szarate

    Description

    Some time ago, I managed to convince ByteOtter to hack something that resembles isotovideo but in Rust, not because I believe that Perl is dead, but more because there are certain limitations in the perl code (how it was written), and its always hard to add new functionalities when they are about implementing a new backend, or fixing bugs (Along with people complaining that Perl is dead, and that they don't like it)

    In reality, I wanted to see if this could be done, and ByteOtter proved that it could be, while doing an amazing job at hacking a vnc console, and helping me understand better what RuPerl needs to work.

    I plan to keep working on this for the next few years, and while I don't aim for feature completion or replacing isotovideo tih isotest-ng (name in progress), I do plan to be able to use it on a daily basis, using specialized tooling with interfaces, instead of reimplementing everything in the backend

    Todo

    • Add make targets for testability, e.g "spawn qemu and type"
    • Add image search matching algorithm
    • Add a Null test distribution provider
    • Add a Perl Test Distribution Provider
    • Fix unittests https://github.com/os-autoinst/isotest-ng/issues/5
    • Research OpenTofu how to add new hypervisors/baremetal to OpenTofu
    • Add an interface to openQA cli

    Goals

    • Implement at least one of the above, prepare proposals for GSoC
    • Boot a system via it's BMC
