Fuel-Devops is a sublayer between application and target environment (currently only supported under libvirt).
This application is used for testing purposes like grouping virtual machines to environments, booting KVM VMs locally from the ISO image and over the network via PXE, creating, snapshotting and resuming back the whole environment in single action, create virtual machines with multiple NICs, multiple hard drives and many other customizations with a few lines of code in system tests.
After 6.0 release, fuel-devops was divided into 2.5.x and 2.9.x versions. Two separate versions of fuel-devops provide backward compatibility for system tests which have been refactored since the last major release. Look here how to migrate from older devops.
For sources please refer to fuel-devops repository on github.
The installation procedure can be implemented via PyPI in Python virtual environment (suppose you are using Ubuntu 12.04 or Ubuntu 14.04):
Before using it, please install the following required dependencies:
sudo apt-get install --yes \
git \
libyaml-dev \
libffi-dev \
python-dev \
python-pip \
qemu \
libvirt-bin \
libvirt-dev \
vlan \
bridge-utils \
genisoimage
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
Install packages needed for building the Python eggs:
sudo apt-get install --yes python-virtualenv libpq-dev libgmp-dev pkg-config
If you use Ubuntu 12.04, update pip and virtualenv;
otherwise, you can skip this step:
sudo pip install pip virtualenv --upgrade
hash -r
To store the path where your Python virtualenv will be located, create your working directory and use the following environment variable. If not specified, it will use the current working directory:
export WORKING_DIR=$HOME/working_dir
mkdir $HOME/working_dir
Create virtualenv for the devops project (for example,
fuel-devops-venv). The related directory will be used for the
VENV_PATH variable:
cd $WORKING_DIR
sudo apt-get install --yes python-virtualenv
virtualenv --no-site-packages fuel-devops-venv
Note
If you want to use different devops versions at the same time, create several different folders for each version and activate the required virtual environment for each version.
For example:
virtualenv --no-site-packages fuel-devops-venv # For fuel-devops 2.5.x
virtualenv --no-site-packages fuel-devops-venv-2.9 # For fuel-devops 2.9.x
Activate virtualenv and install devops package using PyPI.
To identify the latest available versions to install, visit the
fuel-devops repository.
For Fuel 6.0 and earlier, take the latest fuel-devops 2.5.x (for
example, fuel-devops.git@2.5.6). For Fuel 6.1 and later, use version
3.0.x or newer (for example, fuel-devops.git@3.0.3):
. fuel-devops-venv/bin/activate
pip install git+https://github.com/openstack/fuel-devops.git@<LATEST_RELEASE> --upgrade
The setup.py in the fuel-devops repository installs and configures
the devops package.
Hint
You can also use virtualenvwrapper that manages virtual environments.
Follow the instructions in the Configuration section.
Basically devops requires that the following system-wide settings are configured:
Create libvirt’s pool
sudo virsh pool-define-as --type=dir --name=default --target=/var/lib/libvirt/images
sudo virsh pool-autostart default
sudo virsh pool-start default
Give current user permissions to use libvirt: do not forget to log out and log back in.
sudo usermod $(whoami) -a -G libvirtd,sudo
You can configure PostgreSQL database or as an alternative SQLite.
Install postgresql package:
sudo apt-get install --yes postgresql
Set local peers to be trusted by default, create user and db and load fixtures.
pg_version=$(dpkg-query --show --showformat='${version;3}' postgresql)
pg_createcluster $pg_version main --start
sudo sed -ir 's/peer/trust/' /etc/postgresql/9.*/main/pg_hba.conf
sudo service postgresql restart
in 2.9.x version, default <user> and <db> are fuel_devops
sudo -u postgres createuser -P fuel_devops
sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE ROLE fuel_devops WITH LOGIN PASSWORD 'fuel_devops'"
sudo -u postgres createdb fuel_devops -O fuel_devops
in 2.5.x version, default <user> and <db> are devops
sudo -u postgres createuser -P devops
sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE ROLE devops WITH LOGIN PASSWORD 'devops'"
sudo -u postgres createdb devops -O devops
Install SQLite3 library:
sudo apt-get install --yes libsqlite3-0
Export the path to the SQLite3 database as the database name:
export DEVOPS_DB_NAME=$WORKING_DIR/fuel-devops
export DEVOPS_DB_ENGINE="django.db.backends.sqlite3
After the database setup, we can install the django tables and data:
django-admin.py syncdb --settings=devops.settings
django-admin.py migrate devops --settings=devops.settings
Note
Depending on your Linux distribution, django-admin may refer to system-wide django installed from package. If this happens you could get an exception that says that devops.settings module is not resolvable. To fix this, run django-admin.py (or django-admin) with a relative path
./bin/django-admin syncdb --settings=devops.settings
./bin/django-admin migrate devops --settings=devops.settings
The following section covers only Intel platform. This option is enabled by
default in the KVM kernel module. If the file qemu-system-x86.conf does not
exist, you have to create it.
cat /etc/modprobe.d/qemu-system-x86.conf
options kvm_intel nested=1
In order to be sure that this feature is enabled on your system, please run:
sudo apt-get install --yes cpu-checker
sudo modprobe kvm_intel
sudo kvm-ok && cat /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/nested
The result should be:
INFO: /dev/kvm exists
KVM acceleration can be used
Y
Depending on the Fuel release, you may need a different repository.
For 6.1 and later, the fuel-qa is required:
git clone https://github.com/openstack/fuel-qa
cd fuel-qa/
Note
It is recommended to use the stable branch related to the ISO version. For instance, with FUEL v7.0 ISO:
git clone https://github.com/openstack/fuel-qa -b stable/7.0
In case of 6.0 or earlier, please use fuel-main repository:
git clone https://github.com/openstack/fuel-main -b stable/6.0
cd fuel-main/
2. Install requirements (follow Devops installation in virtualenv section for the WORKING_DIR variable)
. $WORKING_DIR/fuel-devops-venv/bin/activate
pip install -r ./fuelweb_test/requirements.txt --upgrade
Note
A certain version of fuel-devops is specified in the ./fuelweb_test/requirements.txt , so it will overwrite the already installed fuel-devops. For example, for fuel-master branch stable/6.0, there is:
git+git://github.com/stackforge/fuel-devops.git@2.5.6
It is recommended to install the django tables and data after installing fuel-qa requiremets:
django-admin.py syncdb --settings=devops.settings django-admin.py migrate devops --settings=devops.settings
Download Fuel ISO from Nightly builds or build it yourself (please, refer to Building the Fuel ISO)
export ISO_PATH=$WORKING_DIR/fuel-community-7.0.iso
export NODES_COUNT=5
Optionally you can specify the name of your test environment (it will
be used as a prefix for the domains and networks names created by
libvirt, defaults is fuel_system_test).
export ENV_NAME=fuel_system_test
export VENV_PATH=$WORKING_DIR/fuel-devops-venv
If you want to use separated files for snapshots you need to set env variable and use the following required versions:
- fuel-devops >= 2.9.17
- libvirtd >= 1.2.12
This change will switch snapshots created by libvirt from internal to external mode.
export SNAPSHOTS_EXTERNAL=true
Note
External snapshots by default uses ~/.devops/snap directory to store memory dumps. If you want to use other directory you can set SNAPSHOTS_EXTERNAL_DIR variable.
export SNAPSHOTS_EXTERNAL_DIR=~/.devops/snap
Alternatively, you can edit this file to set them as a default values
fuelweb_test/settings.py
Start tests by running this command
./utils/jenkins/system_tests.sh -t test -w $(pwd) -j fuelweb_test -i $ISO_PATH -o --group=setup
For more information about how tests work, read the usage information
./utils/jenkins/system_tests.sh -h
- It is not recommended to start tests without KVM.
- For the best performance Put Sahara image savanna-0.3-vanilla-1.2.1-ubuntu-13.04.qcow2 (md5: 9ab37ec9a13bb005639331c4275a308d) in /tmp/ before start, otherwise (If Internet access is available) the image will download automatically.
- Murano is deprecated in Fuel 9.0.
- Put Murano image ubuntu-murano-agent.qcow2 (md5: b0a0fdc0b4a8833f79701eb25e6807a3) in /tmp before start.
- Running Murano tests on instances without an Internet connection will fail.
- For Murano tests execute ‘export SLAVE_NODE_MEMORY=5120’ before starting.
- If you need an image For Heat autoscale tests check prebuilt-jeos-images.
- Export environment variable OSTF_TEST_NAME. Example: export OSTF_TEST_NAME=’Request list of networks’
- Export environment variable OSTF_TEST_RETRIES_COUNT. Example: export OSTF_TEST_RETRIES_COUNT=120
- Execute test_ostf_repetable_tests from tests_strength package
Run tests
sh "utils/jenkins/system_tests.sh" -t test \
-w $(pwd) \
-j "fuelweb_test" \
-i "$ISO_PATH" \
-V $(pwd)/venv/fuelweb_test \
-o \

To migrate from older devops, follow these steps:
You must remove system-wide fuel-devops and switch to separate venvs with different versions of fuel-devops, for Fuel 6.0.x (and older) and 6.1 release.
Repositories ‘fuel-main’ and ‘fuel-qa’, that contain system tests, must use different Python virtual environments, for example:
If you have scripts which use system fuel-devops, fix them, and activate Python venv before you start working in your devops environment.
By default, the network pool is configured as follows:
Please check other settings in devops.settings, especially the connection settings to the database.
Before using devops in Python venv, you need to install system dependencies
To update fuel-devops, you can use the following examples:
# DevOps 2.5.x for system tests from 'fuel-main' repository
if [ -f ~/venv-nailgun-tests/bin/activate ]; then
echo "Python virtual env exist"
else
rm -rf ~/venv-nailgun-tests
virtualenv --no-site-packages ~/venv-nailgun-tests
fi
source ~/venv-nailgun-tests/bin/activate
pip install -r https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openstack/fuel-main/master/fuelweb_test/requirements.txt --upgrade
django-admin.py syncdb --settings=devops.settings --noinput
django-admin.py migrate devops --settings=devops.settings --noinput
deactivate
# DevOps 2.9.x for system tests from 'fuel-qa' repository
if [ -f ~/venv-nailgun-tests-2.9/bin/activate ]; then
echo "Python virtual env exist"
else
rm -rf ~/venv-nailgun-tests-2.9
virtualenv --no-site-packages ~/venv-nailgun-tests-2.9
fi
source ~/venv-nailgun-tests-2.9/bin/activate
pip install -r https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openstack/fuel-qa/master/fuelweb_test/requirements.txt --upgrade
django-admin.py syncdb --settings=devops.settings --noinput
django-admin.py migrate devops --settings=devops.settings --noinput
deactivate
All system tests for 6.1 and higher were moved to fuel-qa repo.
To upgrade 6.1 jobs, follow these steps:
make a separate Python venv, for example in ~/venv-nailgun-tests-2.9
install requirements of system tests
if you are using system tests on CI, please configure your CI to use new
Python venv, or export path to the new Python venv in the variable
VENV_PATH (follow Devops installation in virtualenv section for the WORKING_DIR
variable):
export VENV_PATH=$WORKING_DIR/fuel-devops-venv-2.9
Some versions of libvirt contain a bug that breaks QEMU virtual machine XML. You can see this when tests crush with a libvirt: QEMU Driver error: unsupported configuration: host doesn’t support invariant TSC. See: Bug 1133155.
Workaround: upgrade libvirt to the latest version.
If the same version of fuel-devops is used with several different databases (for example, with multiple sqlite3 databases, or with a separated database for each devops in different python virtual environments), there will be a collision between Libvirt bridge names and interfaces.
Workaround: use the same database for the same version of the fuel-devops.
for 2.9.x, export the following env variables:
export DEVOPS_DB_NAME=fuel_devops
export DEVOPS_DB_USER=fuel_devops
export DEVOPS_DB_PASSWORD=fuel_devops
for 2.5.x, edit the dict for variable DATABASES:
vim $WORKING_DIR/fuel-devops-venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/devops/settings.py
