Bug Description

tox -e dsvm-functional currently runs both functional and fullstack tests, because of this piece of code:
http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/neutron/tree/neutron/tests/functional/__init__.py

This means that functional and fullstack tests can run in parallel in different workers. This is causing bad interaction as evident from this run:
http://logs.openstack.org/32/190832/6/check/check-neutron-dsvm-functional/b977f76/

I think that this sort of interaction is to be expected, and it's not worth trying to fix it. I think that fullstack tests should run in a separate job.

I'll change this in two patches:
1) Prepare for the fullstack CI job by running configure_host_for_func_testing for both functional and fullstack jobs, and stop messing around with test discovery during dsvm-functional: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/193905/
2) Send a patch to project-config to define the new job: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/193906/

Isn't this problem due to a failure in test isolation? Wouldn't it be preferable to solve that problem rather than requiring another testing node per patch?

This is a test isolation problem between two different kinds of tests. Functional tests concurrency issue? That's important. Full stack tests concurrency issue? The same. Bad interaction between two different kinds of tests? I don't want to spend even a minute looking in to that.

Additionally, there's many managerial benefits to have it in a separate job. I can now make the job non-voting but still run the tests to collect data. We can differentiate between functional and fullstack issues and graph the failure rates for the two jobs separately.

Finally, it adds visibility to a new testing infrastructure that desperately needs it. If we ever want developers to adopt it we need to communicate that it exists, and a separate job is a simple and effective way to get us there.

Site note: The environment requirements for these two testing infrastructure are similar but not identical, because full stack tests do expect mysql and rabbit servers operational in the background.

    Remove duplicated call to setup_coreplugin

    The test case for vlan_transparent was calling setup_coreplugin
    before calling the super setUp method which already calls
    setup_coreplugin. This was causing duplicate core plugin fixtures
    which resulted in patching the dhcp periodic check twice.

    Remove double mock of dhcp agent periodic check

    The test case for the periodic check was patching a target
    that the core plugin fixture already patched out. This removes
    that and exposes the mock from the fixture so the test case
    can reference it.

    Remove double callback manager mocks

    setup_test_registry_instance() in the base test case class gives
    each test its own registry by mocking out the get_callback_manager.
    The L3 agent test cases were duplicating this.

    Remove ensure_dirs double-patch

    test_spawn_radvd called mock.patch on ensure_dirs after the
    setup method already patched it out. This causes issues when
    mock.patch.stopall() is called because the mocks are stored
    as a set and are unwound in a non-deterministic fashion.[1]
    So some of the time they will be undone correctly, but others
    will leave a monkey-patched in mock, causing the ensure_dir
    test to fail.

    Remove failing SafeFixture tests

    The fixtures 1.3 release attempted to fix the fixtures resource
    leak issue, but failed to do so completely. Our own SafeFixture
    is still needed: The 1.3 release broke our SafeFixture tests,
    but not the usage of SafeFixture itself. This patch removes
    those failing tests for now to unbreak the gate. Jakub reported
    a bug on fixtures 1.3:
    https://bugs.launchpad.net/python-fixtures/+bug/1469759

    We will continue to use SafeFixture until that bug is fixed
    in fixtures, at which point we will be able to require
    fixtures > 1.3.

    Revert "Removed test_lib module"

    This reverts commit 9a6536de6e1a7fe9b2552adc142e254426b82b6f.

    We pulled all of the plugins out of the tree, many of which still inherit
    from neutron test classes. This change then stated that we no longer
    support testing other plugins. I think this is a bit premature and should
    have been discussed under the subject
    "Neutron plugins can't use neutron plugin unit tests" or something
    similar.

    Refactor NetcatTester class

    Following capabilities were added:
       - used transport protocol is passed as a constant instead of bool
       - src port for testing was added
       - connection can be established explicitly
       - change constructor parameters of NetcatTester

    As a part of removing bool for protocol definition
    get_free_namespace_port() was also modified to match the behavior.
