openQA provides different scripts and a CLI command line application to interact with it. For instance:
- cloning a job with clone_job
- cloning a job from using a test from a git repository
- Accessing to the API using the openqa-cli
But it is necessary to install openqa-devel packages to use this.
The proposal I share here is to use the power of containers to use these scripts without installing anything.
Requisites
How to start
- First download or clone the git repository https://github.com/ilausuch/openqa_container_console
- Clone client.conf.template as client.conf and configure all the openQA services you need with a valid URL, key and secret.
- Build your container
docker-compose build - Run the container
docker-compose run -d
How to use
You can execute the scripts inside the container, for instance running this API call
docker-compose exec console openqa-cli api --host openqa.opensuse.org /jobs limit=1000 latest=1 state="done"
But also, in the repository are provided two scripts:
- clone-job.sh
- openqa-clone-custom-git.sh
Usage of clone-job.sh
./clone-job.sh <HOST> <JOB ID> <VARIABLE>
Where:
- host: is the openQA host (e.g. openqa.opensuse.org)
- job id: is the job id to clone (e.g. for https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/1729306 we write 1729306)
- variable: this is optional but allow to add one variable (e.g. CONTAINERS=1)
Usage of openqa-clone-custom-git.sh
openqa-clone-custom-git-opensuse.sh <HOST> <PR> <Old job> <variable>
Where:
- host: is the openQA host (e.g. openqa.opensuse.org)
- pr: is the PR to be used for the test
- old job: is the job based to this test (e.g. for https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/1729306 we write 1729306)
- variable: this is optional but allow to add one variable (e.g. CONTAINERS=1)
