The correct name for upcoming release of CentOS is CentOS 9 Stream,
usually abbreviated to 'c9s'. As we need to differentiate from the
stream and the standard versions, this patch modifies the Azure
piipelines to use 'c9s' instead of 'CentOS 9'.
Newer Ansible versions will require at least Python 3.8 to be used,
and the build containers pipeline was requiring Python 3.6, which is
EOL.
This patch requests the latest Python version available for the
controller, and allows it to be configured to a specific version if,
and when, needed.
Add configuration to build a testing CentOS 8 stream image and to
execute upstream tests using that image in pull requests (Ansible
2.9) and on the nightly tests (all supported Ansible versions).
This patch modifies the Python version used to be the latest available,
and add stages to execute the tests using ansible-core 2.12. As we
use Ubuntu 20.04, Python version 3.8 is avaiable.
Previously, ansible-core 2.12 was not available as it cannot be
installed with Python 3.6, which was the version used.
When using group_tests, the pytest playbook was not receiving the
Ansible version to use, executing always with the latest available
version.
This patch fixes the behavior by passing the Ansible version to use
for tests to pytest_tests playbook.
Currently, upstream CI test documentation against different Ansible
versions, but playbook tests are only executed with Ansible 2.9 series.
This patch add support for running playbook tests against Ansible 2.9,
ansible-core 2.11, and against latest version of Ansible.
As running all the tests for every PR would take too long, the tests
for every PR use only Anisble 2.9, and are executed on Fedora-latest
and CentOS 7 and 8.
A new pipeline for nightly tests was added, which runs the tests in the
same distros, using Ansible 2.9, latest and Ansible-core 2.11.
Currently, we rebuild the container images everyday, at midnight,
which ensures that we have all the latest changes from every distro
supported in CI.
This approach works fine for the upstream CI, but if we want to use
the CI images to test modules in a local container, for example, as
proposed by PR #556, updating the images daily means that there will
be much more images download that would not be needed, as the public
cloud images of supported distros don't change so often.
This patch proposes to change the build rate from daily to weekly,
reducing the need to download images by users, while still using a
good update window.
It should be noted that, if required, the images can be rebuilt
manually, so any urgent fix is added to the CI images.
The test preparation failed with "the connection plugin
'community.docker.docker' was not found" in "Setup test container".
"ansible-galaxy collection install community.docker" has been added
to
tests/azure/templates/playbook_tests.yml and
tests/azure/templates/pytest_tests.yml
Without explicit installation, Ansible was failing to run on
Azure pipelines. This change explicitly install the latest
Ansible version available through `pip`.
In the near future, Github will use Ubuntu 20.04, for workflows, and
this change will keep the upstream CI environment consistent between
Github and Azure.
Until now ansible-freeipa repository only had playbook tests. This
commit introduces the ability of creating TestCase classes connected to
the master host. This connection can be used to run commands in the
managed host after the ansible playbook execution is the allowing the
verification of the machine state.
test_users_absent.yml was using users_absent.json. It has been adapted to
use users.json instead with an additional json_query to get only the names
from users_present.json.
create_users_json.yml has been added to create users.json if it is missing
containing 500 users. It is included by test_users_present.yml and
test_users_absent.yml.
users_present.sh has been renamed to users.sh and modified to create by
default users.json with 1000 users and additional with password and
passwordexpiration in two years.
jmespath has been added to pip install list in
tests/azure/templates/playbook_tests.yml to emable the use of json_query.
The requirement for jmespath has been added to tests/README.md.
Added a pipeline file (tests/azure/build-containers.yml) to build test
containers and upload them to quay.io. The pipeline will create
containers with IPA pre-installed for testing proposes on three
different Linux containers: CentOS 7, CentOS 8 and Fedora Latest.
Added comment about problem with no_log in Azure CI. While running on CI
using ansible 2.10a the content of attributes with no_log=True is
replaced by ***** on ansible causing test failures.
* Moved azure CI definitions from azure-pipelines.yml to
tests/azure/azure-pipelines.yml.
* Updated azure CI definitions to run playbook tests using docker
containers.
