Open Stack

Excerpts from Ivan Kolodyazhny's message of 2018-06-05 16:32:22 +0300:
> Hi team,
> 
> In Horizon, we're going to get rid of unsupported Nose and use Django Test
> Runner instead of it [1]. Nose has some issues and limitations which blocks
> us in our testing improvement efforts.
> 
> Nose has different test discovery mechanism than Django does. So, there was
> a chance to break some Horizon Plugins:(. Unfortunately, we haven't
> cross-project CI yet (TBH, I'm working on it and it's one of the first
> steps to get it done), that's why I tested this change [2] against all
> known plugins [3].
> 
> Most of the projects don't need any changes. I proposed few changed to
> plugins repositories [4] and most of them are merged already. Thanks a lot
> to everybody who helped me with it. Patches for heat-dashboard [5] and
> searchlight-ui [6] are under review.
> 
> Additional efforts are needed for murano-dashboard, sahara-dashboard, and
> watcher-dashboard projects. murano-dashboard has Nose test runner enabled
> in the config, so Horizon change won't affect it.
> 
> I proposed patches for sahara-dashboard [7] and watcher-dashboard [8] to
> explicitly enable Nose test runner there until we'll fix all related
> issues. I hope we'll have a good number of cross-project activities with
> these teams.
> 
> Once all patches above will be merged, we'll be ready to the next step to
> make Horizon and plugins CI better.
