This repository contains the automation code used to keep the snap-tempest repo up to date.

Standard process

The automation works as follows.

1. The update-tempest-releases.yaml workflow is triggered on a schedule or manually, and will run the update-snapcraft.yaml workflow for every supported OpenStack release
2. The update-snapcraft.yaml workflow will checkout a stable/ branch from the snap-tempest repo and compare its snapcraft.yaml file to the one generated by the update_snapcraft.py script. If there are differences, it will push the changes to a release/ branch on the snap-tempest repo and create a PR against the corresponding stable/ branch
3. The update_snapcraft.py script will determine the correct component versions for a given OpenStack release by inspecting the OpenStack releases repo and pypi RSS feeds.

Manual overrides

The output of the update_snapcraft.py script can be altered via two parameters:

• --excluded-plugins: this is the path to a file containing a list of Tempest plugin names that should not be bundled in the snap. A default list is provided in this repo.
• --manual-requirements: this is a path to a list of additional Python packages that should be bundled in the snap, in PEP440 format. This may sometimes be required to fix missing plugin dependencies. By default, no additional requirements are installed.
