action #6468
closeddata directory hierarchy
Description
data directory can be downloaded as an archive or by individual files. Subdirectories are not supported. Currently it seems to be used only for console test.
This does not scale well. I would like to use it for unrelated files from various tests that naturally belongs to subdirectories.

the user story of Sprint 15 is QA dashboard and general UI improvements. Can this wait?

It is kind of related. I'd like to prepare the autoyast tests for upstreaming and use them as real world examples for testing multi-machine and UI. And I don't like the idea of putting all the data files into one directory and sorting them later, I'd rather do it right from the beginning.

ah. but you don't want to download cpio archives of subdirectories just support paths in data download? That sounds easy - and it only affects os-autoinst <-> VM
Updated by nadvornik about 9 years ago
yes, I am ok with paths, however I think that it should be easy even with archives. I can take this issue if nobody else wants it :)

I would actually favor dropping this archive stuff. I see no use case for pulling all autoyast tests everywhere
Updated by nadvornik about 9 years ago
my idea is:
GET /data/consoletest/
downloads an archive of consoletest subdirectory
GET /data/autoyast/autoyast1.xml
downloads the file

consoletest already downloads too much - it's mainly textinfo and a wav file. Having a cpio extract for that is heavy overkill.
