This, I believe, is a problem. novaclient is currently the only client that isn't in the core project itself. Can we discuss pulling novaclient into Nova's source tree at the design summit? > I can see utility in > tests specifically for Novaclient, and ones that use a built in client (as > the suite that Soren provided currently does.) Sure. This is actually something that Glance's functional test suite does. It uses httplib2 as a direct HTTP client and uses bin/glance to test the supplied Glance client. > Also, Backfire uses a module Kevin Mitchell wrote named Dtest that > actually provides a lot of that same functionality you mention, Tim.

I'd be totally cool with bringing DTest goodness into https://github.com/sorenh/openstack-integration-tests. :) Less duplication of effort, the better IMHO. openstack-integration-tests should be in the business of writing integration tests, not multi-processing testing libraries. -jay _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
