Hi there Dan and all,

after some trying around I have now more clarity regarding what is needed for 
my test setup and have a more specific question I can't answer from the Marvin 
doc page [1]

Once again what is the test setup and which goal do I have?

If I was the Travis build system checking a release say 14.3.1.0 I would do the 
following:

- visit GitHub repo, clone and checkout sources
- proceed with Travis CI specification file .travis.yml, following all the 
installation scripts and do builds, and setup a test environment, and run 
integration tests using nose+Marvin

Agree?

Now I am not Travis; and I have already a test instance of CloudStack to play 
with.

I just want to reuse existing test code and run one or two, or maybe more 
integration tests against this instance.

So I have done so far the following, locally:

- visit GitHub repo, clone and checkout sources
- read installation scripts following specs in the Travis CI specs file 
travis.yml and get dependencies which appear mandatory for running the actual 
integration test code
- these dependencies include Java, Maven, Python2.7, pip2 and some further 
Python2 packages
- build Java components, and essentially build Marvin
- install Marvin locally following the docs [1]

Then, I can run a single integration test using code from [2], and not 
unexpectedly I get then an API connection error in the test log:

nosetests --with-xunit --xunit-file=integration-test-results/$suite.xml 
--with-marvin --marvin-config=setup/dev/advanced.cfg test/integration/$suite.py 
-s -a tags=advanced,required_hardware=false --zone=ZONE_NAME 
--hypervisor=HYPERVISOR

(where $suite is a test of my choice)

Error excerpt: "...Max retries exceeded with url: 
/client/api?account=admin&command=listUsers&response=json ..."

I do understand I need also to configure access to resources like database 
which goes then to the file "setup/dev/advanced.cfg"

What I miss however, where to specify API client configuration, like the URL of 
the instance and access/secret keys?

Betreff: Re: [DISCUSS] python test framework

Thanks PL,

I have focussed on a nose2 on python3 implementation so far [1]. If anybody
feels like contributing there, be welcome. I is only a PoC yet but looks
promising. The total work seems like a moderately large job and pretty
straight forward, with the most challenging part the redesign of the
callbacks being provided by nose2 in comparison to nose. We still have to
test verification through ssh and db connectors but these are so widely
used by the larger python community that I'm not too scared of those.
I hope that nose2 has a lively community as I see more issues than answers
on github [2]
serverspec seems like a good model, so I'll give that a look as well

@Peter (peter.murysh...@zv.fraunhofer.de) I saw a separate mail [3] by you
about your test setup, but couldn't grasp it yet. I hope we can have a ccc
one day soon again to discuss in close quarters.
