closedos-autoinst: Add support to easily switch VERSION during a test run
0%
Description
observation¶
for example in https://openqa.suse.de/tests/510956 zypper lifecycle is called which does not exist as we rolled back to a pre-SP2 state: https://openqa.suse.de/tests/510956#step/zypper_lifecycle/7
problem¶
VERSION=12-SP2 but when scheduling tests or trying to match needles this does not make sense.
Also see https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse/pull/1684 for a possible approach updating "VERSION" during the test run.
Three different scopes have to be kept in mind
- needle registering (and unregistering)
- test module scheduling
- test module execution
For example, updating VERSION in a test module is executed after all modules are scheduled so it needs to be set in main.pm, too. As needle tags already got registered/unregistered, they need to be re-registered after every version change.
suggestion¶
Also see #9580#note-24
further details¶
The original title was 'how do we handle tests in "rollback_migration" which shouldn't start because VERSION is 12-SP2 but after rollback it's not anymore?'

We might/could use the same approach as for migration when based on VAR we a loading tests from subfolder.

Interesting. Can you link this example or are you talking about an idea that isn't implemented yet?

- Blocks deleted (action #12330: Upgrades on s390)
Updated by okurz almost 8 years ago
- Priority changed from High to Normal
while it might be nice to continue with this, e.g. for the "rollback after migration" jobs, this ticket does not block #12330 anymore and therefore should be regarded as high -> reduced to normal

No one working on this and will most certainly not finish within M5

- Priority changed from Normal to Low
- Target version deleted (
Milestone 7)
For now we accepted the fact that this does not work and are using workarounds which are good enough, e.g. version specific needle tags for migration scenarios, etc.

- Related to action #25504: Support for changing test variables including needles during test run (was: utils::sle_version_at_least needs refinement) added
Updated by coolo about 7 years ago
- Status changed from New to Resolved
for needle matches we have a solution (#25504), for scheduling tests we have to be creative
