</div>There is no documentation as to how the Vagrant/Chef stuff works, how<br>
to kick it off, or how it should be linked into Hudson. It also seems<br>
to be very Anso/Nebula specific. Did we expect that the Vagrant/Chef<br>
stuff would be used by the OpenStack community to test OpenStack?<br>
Also, if we did, why isn't it in the Nova project itself? I thought<br>
one of your goals was not to have the testing stuff in different<br>
projects (and now, on totally different repositories...)<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>There was no suggestion about making a new repository, I am simply trying to get a list of all the existing repositories and ideas people are using in testing.</div>

<br>
For those of us a little tentative to learn Yet Another Programming<br>
Language, even some basic documentation would be useful to see if the<br>
Vagrant/Chef stuff is something that could be applicable to OpenStack<br>
continuous integration testing.<br>
<br>
As I've stated in previous emails on this thread, the problem we have<br>
is *not* that we don't have the ability to run tests. In other words,<br>
we don't need another test-running platform. What we need is tests for<br>
stuff that isn't Anso-specific, which is why I've asked Trey to work<br>
on creating a smoketest for the valid work patterns that have to do<br>
with OpenStack and not EC2.<br>
<br>
In the meantime, to test the EC2-specific code paths, I would think it<br>
would be fairly trivial to simply fire the smoketests against a test<br>
cluster. I know that one of the Rackspace test clusters (a large,<br>
188-machine one) should be online in the next week or so, but there<br>
was also word of another smaller test cluster that seems more<br>
appropriate for simply kicking smoketests against. Jordan, what's the<br>
status of that smaller cluster? Are we ready to add those machines to<br>
our set of Hudson builders?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>In case Jordan missed the question since it was at the end of a paragraph:</div><div><br></div><div>Jordan, any news on machines?</div><div><br></div><div>--andy</div>
