The gate is made up of two major types of tests. The first are self contained unittest like tests that rely on tox for their invocation and the second are the devstack-gate tests that use the devstack-gate project to configure and run tests. In both cases projects are installed from source (with pip install $PATH_TO_PROJECT iirc) which installs only the requirements.txt. These are the requirements needed to run the project but not to test it. In the tox run tests you will typically add the test-requirements.txt file to the testenv's dep list in order to get those dependencies installed for testing. In devstack-gate land no test-requirements are installed as these are functional/integration tests and should be tested as normally installed. So it depends on which test was having trouble. If it was something run by tox then tox.ini probably needs an update. This sounds like a problem with the devstack-gate tests which are trickier because it just does normal installs of projects before testing them and the test framework is expected to pull in the test dependencies as its normal dependencies. In this case I would probably update the job in question to install the test-requirements as part of the pre_test_hook in devstack-gate. The reason for the difference in lists is requirements.txt is the minimum to run the project. test-requirements.txt is the minimum needed to run the unittests, doc builds, lint checks, and so on.
