"tempest init cloud" throws error

[ankur bhatia]

I tried to configure tempest. I followed the following steps mentioned in the document.

1. git clone http://git.openstack.org/openstack/tempest
2. pip install tempest/
3. tempest init cloud-01

After the "tempest init cloud-01" command I get the following error:

vagrant@allinone47 ~]$ tempest init c

It looks like you have aodh installed. This could be a problem specific to the aodh plugin.
On a clean venv I cannot reproduce the issue.
Could you specify platform, python version and attach the output of pip freeze?
Also could you try on a clean system without aodh installed?

Are you using packstack or DevStack or other installer based deployment on which you are trying to run tempest? Please specify the environment.

I am using packstack on CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core).

Python 2.7.5 (default, Nov 6 2016, 00:28:07)
[GCC 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-11)] on linux2

After some investigation:

>>> import pkg_resources
>>> list(pkg_resources.iter_entry_points('tempest.test_plugins'))
[EntryPoint.parse('gnocchi_tests = gnocchi.tempest.plugin:GnocchiTempestPlugin'), EntryPoint.parse('aodh_tests = aodh.tests.tempest.plugin:AodhTempestPlugin'), EntryPoint.parse('neutron_tests = neutron.tests.tempest.plugin:NeutronTempestPlugin'), EntryPoint.parse('ceilometer_tests = ceilometer.tests.tempest.plugin:CeilometerTempestPlugin'), EntryPoint.parse('manila_tests = manila_tempest_tests.plugin:ManilaTempestPlugin'), EntryPoint.parse('cinder_tests = cinder.tests.tempest.plugin:CinderTempestPlugin'), EntryPoint.parse('keystone_tests = keystone_tempest_plugin.plugin:KeystoneTempestPlugin')]

But there are no catalogs:
       site-packages/aodh/tests
       site-packages/neutron/tests
       site-packages/cinder/tests
and so on.
These python packages are installed with a correspondent tempest entry point which is detected by pkg_resources package. But, actually, the tests itself are not installed as a part of its packages.
