Hi all, A change to global-requirements[1] introduces mimic, which is an http server that can mock various APIs, including nova and ironic, including control of error codes and timeouts. The ironic team plans to use this for testing python-ironicclient without standing up a full ironic environment.
Here's the catch - mimic is built on twisted. I know twisted was previously removed from OpenStack (or at least people said "pls no", I don't know the full history). We didn't intend to stealth-introduce twisted back into g-r, but it was pointed out to me that it may appear this way, so here I am letting everyone know. lifeless pointed out that when tests are failing, people may end up digging into mimic or twisted code, which most people in this community aren't familiar with AFAIK, which is a valid point though I hope it isn't required often. So, the primary question here is: do folks have a problem with adding twisted here? We're holding off on Ironic changes that depend on this until this discussion has happened, but aren't reverting the g-r change until we decide one way or another. // jim [1] https://review.openstack.org/#/c/220268/ __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
