cannot run tempest against internal_url endpoint

[June Yi]

Sometimes, it is needed to deploy Tempest internally. (i.e. some cloud service does not open their image service endpoint to public.)

Currently, endpoint_url is hard coded as 'publicURL'. It will be better to make it configurable.

[Attila Fazekas (afazekas)]

The default value of this option should be None, and tempest should fall back to the endpoint definitions by default.

It looks like similar issue:

Can it solve your issue ?

[June Yi (gochist)]

Attila, yes it can.

[Attila Fazekas (afazekas)]

Please try to apply the solution for glance which specified in the bug 1185887.

[Jordan Pittier (jordan-pittier)]

I'd like to work on a patch to solve this.

A first version of the patch would be to add another flag named "endpoint_type" in tempest.conf. This flag would be read in tempest/common/rest_client.py (to set the endpoint_url variable) and in tempest/scenario/manager.py in the different _get_*_client(). The flag would be "global", used by all clients, without the possibility to use different endpoint_type for different clients.

I'll give it a try tomorrow or the day after, please tell me if I am heading in the wrong direction :)

Actually, the structure of the code allows to set easily the endpoint_type on a per client (nova, heat,neutron etc.) basis. I'll do this.

[Andrea Frittoli (andrea-frittoli)]

Can you make it so that the parameter is honoured by both API (rest_client.py) and scenario (official clients) tests?

For nova, cinder, neutron it's adding "endpoint_type=endpoint_type" to the client creation
For glance and heat it's adding "endpoint_type=endpoint_type" to the catalog.url_for() call.

[Jordan Pittier (jordan-pittier)]

I will :) Thanks for the hints.

    Make endpoint type configurable

    Allow to specify the endpoint type to use for each service. Not everybody will
    want to use publicURL, so let's make this configurable.
