Hey Shu, Personally when I run specific unit test I prefer to run it without installing vdsm package, means locally from my development directory. I develop on my major machine and install the package on testing environments for verification, so during the development if I write some uts, I want to be able to run them fast and easy and continue. Using installed vdsm is more for functional tests in my opinion.
By the way, currently the tests can run both in installed and uninstalled environment.. and I agree about the trickiness of hackVDSM Maybe running only after install is better practice but I'm not sure, we need more opinions about that issue.. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shu Ming" <shum...@linux.vnet.ibm.com> To: "VDSM Project Development" <vdsm-devel@lists.fedorahosted.org> Sent: Thursday, March 7, 2013 8:18:35 AM Subject: [vdsm] VDSM test unit running path Hi, Now, The VDSM test unit is expected to run in a un-installed enviornment and use hackVDSM() to fake modules importing. hackVDSM() is pretty tricky for other modules to be added because of the dependency order. I would propose to run the VDSM unit tests in a installed VDSM path which is the same path as other VDSM runnable binaries. By this way, we can abandon hackVDSM() and run the unit test normally. On the other hand, the VDSM building script installs the VDSM files to <home>/builder by default, it is reasonable to start the VDSM unit test after all parts of the building script finishes. Any comments about this idea? -- --- 舒明 Shu Ming Open Virtualization Engineerning; CSTL, IBM Corp.
