Well, at a minimum we should be testing both that the tip of master<br>
for the client works with servers, and also that the tip of<br>
server branches (master, stable/x, stable/y) work with the latest<br>
released version of the client. There are already plans in motion to<br>
solve this in integration testing for all clients, because not doing<br>
so allows us to break ourselves in unfortunate ways.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>This isn't the testing that Keystone's client tests do. Keystone's client tests verify that the client doesn't change in an incompatible way. For example, we've got a test that verifies that you can do client.tenants.list() ; so if someone decides to change "tenants" to "projects" then this test will fail.<br>
