Troveclient requirement update fails due to test_basic_scenario[dashboard]

[Vijendar Komalla]

Below test is failing consistently and as a result gerrit review https://review.openstack.org/#/c/52137/ is failing, which is blocking my other changes for DBaaS heat resource.

I think it's genuinely related to the troveclient update in the patch, we had to pin troveclient in Horizon due to backwards incompatible changes with version 1 (see bug 1238121). I'm not sure what's the current status for updating the Trove panel.

[Vijendar Komalla (vijendar-komalla)]

Is any one working on fixing Horizon to resolve troveclient(1.0.1)issue? OR some one on troveclient side working to make it backward compatible?

[David Lyle (david-lyle)]

We may have mutually dependant patches. The move to >= 1.0.0 breaks backward compatibility and thus horizon's gate test. On the plus side hurrah for the gate test. We'll need to consult with the infra team on how to get these in together.

Or perhaps mark the Tempest test as "skipped" while we update the requirement. I'd still like to figure out why/how it is failing in the first place though.

[David Lyle (david-lyle)]

The test is failing because the internal structure of python-troveclient changed. Part of that structure is assumed on imports for the tests whether to include the trove code. Since it's as fundamental as an import failure, we get a 500 error even on the login page.

We need to skip the Horizon test in tempest and let the requirements change merge. Then reenable the tempest test. And finally merge the Horizon fix linked above.

[Julie Pichon (jpichon)]

@david-lyle: That approach sounds fine to me, though the last 2 steps seem inverted as I would imagine the Horizon change needs to land before the test is reenabled, otherwise it will fail again due to the import issue?

[Vijendar Komalla (vijendar-komalla)]

Is any one in Horizon looking into this issue? for the last few weeks, this issue is blocking requirements change to update python-troveclient version. This in turn blocking heat DBaaS resource change (https://review.openstack.org/#/c/51712/) from merging!
