Hi Mike,   I have created these unit test jobs - openstack-tox-py27, openstack-tox-py35, openstack-tox-py36, openstack-tox-py37, openstack-tox-py38, openstack- tox-py39 by referring to the upstream CI( https://opendev.org/openstack/openstack-zuul-jobs/src/branch/master/zuul.d/j...) and these jobs are triggered for every patchset in the Openstack CI. 

I checked the code for old CI for Power, we didn't have any unit test jobs that were run for every patchset for nova. We had one "nova-python27" job that was run in a periodic pipeline. So, I wanted to know if we need to run the unit test jobs on ppc for every patchset for nova? and If yes, should these be reporting to the Openstack community?

Thanks, Aditi Dukle

We should have the capacity to add them. At one point I think we ran unit tests for nova but the job may have been culled in the move to zuul v3. I've CC'd the maintainers of the CI, Aditi Dukle and Sajauddin Mohammad.

Aditi and Sajauddin, could we add a job to pkvmci to run unit tests for nova?   Michael Turek Software Engineer Power Cloud Department 1 845 433 1290 Office mjturek@us.ibm.com He/Him/His   IBM

We have a bugreport[1] showing that our unit tests are not passing on ppc. In the upstream CI we don't have test capability to run our tests on ppc. But we have the IBM Power KVM CI[2] that runs integration tests on ppc. I'm wondering if IBM could extend the CI to run nova unit and functional tests too. I've added Michael Turek (mjturek@us.ibm.com) to CC. Michael is listed as the contact person for the CI.

Cheers, gibi
