<div>On my phone so will be very brief but perhaps the extensions extension could publish the jsonschema(s) for the extension. I think the only complicating factor would be where extensions extend extensions but I think it's all doable.</div>

<br>> Hi David, Marc,
<br>>
<br>> I guess the negative test generator of Tempest would need each API definition.
<br>> Glance can provide API definitions through API with jsonschema format, but
<br>> Nova does not have such feature.
<br>> We need to port these API schema from Nova to Tempest, I guess. right?
<br>>
<br><br>As I understand things after reviewing the first versions of the negative test
<br>generator patch is that we have to hard code the schema into a file (right now
<br>it's in the test file, but eventually it'll be an external input file). One of
<br>my issues with doing that is it's highly manual process, essentially a copy and
<br>paste from the nova tree. I think what we're looking for from this jsonschema
<br>validation work is an API which we can query the API and get the jsonschema
<br>definitions; similar to what the glance API offers.
<br><br>I wouldn't advocate making the negative test generator be fully dynamic for the
<br>same reason we don't autodetect which API versions and extensions/features are
<br>enabled in tempest, but rather rely on the config file. But, instead have an
<br>additional tool which could query the schema for all the endpoints in nova and
<br>generate an input file for the negative test generator. That way we'll still
<br>catch breaking API changes in the gate, but it's not a manual process to update
<br>the input file with the schema definitions in tempest when there is a breaking
<br>API change. (Which hopefully should almost never happen)
