run_tests.sh stops at CloudTestCase test_ajax_console

[Duncan McGreggor]

When attempting to run the test suite, I get as far as the first test in the CloudTestCase (nova.tests.api.ec2.test_cloud.CloudTestCase.test_ajax_console), and then the tests just hang. I've attempted this twice, the second time waiting a full 10 minutes before I hit ^C; same results each time.

Not sure if there's supposed to be another component installed? Wasn't able to discover any docs on running the unit tests, though I could easily have overlooked something...

Additional info:
  Python 2.7
  nova from git (75a3fbb21eebd4de8775b63c327d9d57859d090c)
  Ubuntu 11.10 (running in a virtual box instance on a MacBook Air)

Are you running from a shared folder? I have noticed that python-lockfile just utterly fails in a shared folder for some reason. I have to update nova/tests/fake_flags.py to set the lock_path to something like /tmp for it to pass if you are running in a shared folder.

Vish, that was amazing. Sure thing: as soon as added /tmp as the
lock_file path, the tests continued.

I'd love to document this someplace in the wiki... is there a "run
openstack's unit tests" page somewhere? If not, I can create one...

FYI, you will need to change --instances_path from your shared folder as well if you want to actually run nova. Alternatively, you can use nfs shares. That is what i do with my vagrant script.

[Thierry Carrez (ttx)]

Should that still be kept open as a nova bug ?

[Duncan McGreggor (oubiwann)]

Thierry, no it should not. I meant to keep it open only long enough to get some documentation done, but that didn't happen!

I did eventually find the unit test docs:
  http://nova.openstack.org/devref/unit_tests.html

I added a link on the wiki page here (in the development table):
  http://wiki.openstack.org/InstallInstructions/Nova

Looks like the unit test docs are in the source here:
  ./doc/source/devref/unit_tests.rst

So I will add update that doc with Vishy's hint, and submit for review against this bug.

[Duncan McGreggor (oubiwann)]

Okay, I just submitted a branch for review that adds the info that Vishy's provided (and gives a link to this bug):

[Duncan McGreggor (oubiwann)]

For whatever reason, the bug number is wrong in the git log... it should (obviously) point to bug 882933.
