Feng, J.Lausuch, M.Richomme - -Abstract -======== - -The testapi is used by all the test opnfv projects to report results. -It is also used to declare projects, test cases and labs. A major refactoring -has been done in Colorado with the introduction of swagger. The testapi is defined in Functest -developer guide. The purpose of this project is to add more features to the testapi that automate -the tasks that are done manually now, though there are tasks other than automation. - -Version history -=============== - -+------------+----------+------------------+------------------------+ -| **Date** | **Ver.** | **Author** | **Comment** | -| | | | | -+------------+----------+------------------+------------------------+ -| 2016-11-14 | 0.0.1 | Morgan Richomme | Beginning of the | -| | | (Orange) | Internship | -+------------+----------+------------------+------------------------+ -| 2017-02-17 | 0.0.2 | S.V.K Rohit | End of the Internship | -| | | (IIIT Hyderabad) | | -+------------+----------+------------------+------------------------+ - -Overview: -========= - -The internhip time period was from Nov 14th to Feb 17th. The project prosposal page is here `[1]`_. -The intern project was assigned to Svk Rohit and was mentored by S. Feng, J.Lausuch, M.Richomme. -The link to the patches submitted is `[2]`_. The internship was successfully completed and the -documentation is as follows. - -Problem Statement: ------------------- - -The problem statement could be divided into pending features that needed to be added into testapi -repo. The following were to be accomplished within the internship time frame. - -* **Add verification jenkins job for the testapi code** - The purpose of this job is to verify whehter the unit tests are successful or not with the - inclusion of the patchset submitted. - -* **Automatic update of opnfv/testapi docker image** - The docker image of testapi is hosted in the opnfv docker hub. To ensure that the testapi image - is always updated with the repository, automatic updation of the image is necessary and a job - is triggered whenever a new patch gets merged. - -* **Automation deployment of testresults.opnfv.org/test/ website** - In the same manner as the docker image of testapi is updated, the testapi website needs to be - in sync with the repository code. So, a job has been added to the opnfv jenkins ci for the - updation of the testresults website. - -* **Generate static documentation of testapi calls** - The purpose of this is to give an static/offline view of testapi. If someone wants to have a - look at the Restful apis of testapi, he/she does't need to go to the website, he can download - a html page and view it anytime. - -* **Backup MongoDB of testapi** - The mongoDB needs to be backed up every week. Till now it was done manually, but due to this - internship, it is now automated using a jenkins job. - -* **Add token based authorization to the testapi calls** - The token based authorization was implemented to ensure that only ci_pods could access the - database. Authentication has been added to only delete/put/post requests. - -Curation Phase: ---------------- - -The curation phase was the first 3 to 4 weeks of the internship. This phase was to get familiar -with the testapi code and functionality and propose the solutions/tools for the tasks mentioned -above. Swagger codegen was choosen out of the four tools proposed `[3]`_ for generating static -documentaion. - -Also, specific amount of time was spent on the script flow of the jenkins jobs. The automatic -deployment task involves accessing a remote server from inside the jenkins build. The deployment -had to be done only after the docker image update is done. For these constraints to satisfy, a -multijob jenkins job was choosen instead of a freestyle job. - -Important Links: ----------------- - -* MongoDB Backup Link - `[4]`_ -* Static Documentation - `[5]`_ -* TestAPI Token addition to ci_pods - `[6]`_ - -Schedule: -========= - -The progress and completion of the tasks is described in the below table. - -+--------------------------+------------------------------------------+ -| **Date** | **Comment** | -| | | -+--------------------------+------------------------------------------+ -| Nov 14th - Dec 31st | Understand Testapi code and the | -| | requirements. | -+--------------------------+------------------------------------------+ -| Jan 1st - Jan 7th | Add jenkins job to create static | -| | documentation and write build scripts. | -+--------------------------+------------------------------------------+ -| Jan 8th - Jan 21st | Add verification jenkins job for unit | -| | tests. | -+--------------------------+------------------------------------------+ -| Jan 22nd - Jan 28th | Add jenkins job for mongodb backup | -| | | -+--------------------------+------------------------------------------+ -| Jan 29th - Feb 11th | Enable automatic deployment of | -| | testresults.opnfv.org/test/ | -+--------------------------+------------------------------------------+ -| Feb 12th - Feb 17th | Add token based authentication | -| | | -+--------------------------+------------------------------------------+ - -FAQ's -===== - -This section lists the problems that I have faced and the understanding that I have acquired during -the internship. This section may help other developers in solving any errors casused because of the -code written as a part of this internship. - - -Test Api --------- - -What is the difference between defining data_file as "/etc/.." and "etc/.." in setup.cfg ? -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -If in the setup.cfg, it is defined as - -[files] -data_files = -etc/a.conf = etc/a.conf.sample - -then it ends up installed in the /usr/etc/. With this configuration, it would be installed -correctly within a venv. but when it is defined as - -[files] -data_files = -/etc/a.conf = etc/a.conf.sample - -then it ends up installed on the root of the filesystem instead of properly be installed within the -venv. - -Which attribute does swagger-codegen uses as the title in the generation of document generation ? -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -It uses the nickname of the api call in swagger as the title in the generation of the document -generation. - -Does swagger-codegen take more than one yaml file as input ? -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -No, swagger-codegen only takes one yaml file as input to its jar file. If there more than one yaml -file, one needs to merge them and give it as an input keeping mind the swagger specs. - - -Jenkins & JJB -------------- - -Which scm macro is used for verification jenkins jobs ? -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -There are two macros for scm one is git-scm and other git-scm-gerrit. git-scm-gerrit is used for -verification jenkins job. - -Does the virtualenv created in one build script exists in other build scripts too ? -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -No, the virtualenv created in one build script only exists in that build script/shell. - -What parameters are needed for the scm macros ? -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -Project and Branch are the two parameters needed for scm macros. - -What is the directory inside the jenkins build ? -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -The directory of the jenkins build is the directory of the repo. `ls $WORKSPACE` command will give -you all the contents of the directory. - -How to include a bash script in jenkins job yaml file ? -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -An example might be apt here as an answer. - -builders: - - shell: - !include-raw: include-raw001-hello-world.sh - - -How do you make a build server run on a specific machine ? -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -It can be done by defining a label parameter 'SLAVE_LABEL' or in OPNFV , there are macros for each -server, one can use those parameter macros. -Ex: opnfv-build-defaults. Note, if we use macro, then no need to define GIT_BASE, but if one uses -SLAVE_LABEL, one needs to define a parameter GIT_BASE. This is because macro already has GIT_BASE -defined. - -What job style should be used when there is a situation like one build should trigger other builds -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -or when different build scripts need to be run on different machines ? -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -MultiJob style should be used as it has phases where each phase can be taken as a build scipt and -can have its own parameters by which one can define the SLAVE_LABEL parameter. - -References: -=========== - -_`[1]` : https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/DEV/Intern+Project%3A+testapi+evolution - -_`[2]` : https://gerrit.opnfv.org/gerrit/#/q/status:merged+owner:%22Rohit+Sakala+%253Crohitsakala%2540gmail.com%253E%22 - -_`[3]` : https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jWwVZ1ZpKgKcOS_zSz2KzX1nwg4BXxzBxcwkesl7krw/edit?usp=sharing - -_`[4]` : http://artifacts.opnfv.org/testapibackup.html - -_`[5]` : http://artifacts.opnfv.org/releng/docs/testapi.html - -_`[6]` : http://artifacts.opnfv.org/functest/docs/devguide/index.html#test-api-authorization |
