Chapter 5. Using ostestr to Run Tempest

Create a whitelist.txt file in your tempest workspace:

$ touch whitelist.txt

Append all the tests you want to run to the whitelist.txt file:

$ cat whitelist.txt
keystone_tempest_plugin.*
networking_bgpvpn_tempest.tests*

Run those tests using ostestr:

$ ostestr -w <path to whitelist tests file>

Create a skip_test.txt file in your tempest workspace:

$ touch skip_test.txt

Append all the tests to skip to the skip_test.txt file.

$ cat skip_test.txt
keystone_tempest_plugin.*
networking_bgpvpn_tempest.tests*

Run tests using ostestr:

$ ostestr -b <path to skip test file>

You can run specific tests by skipping the listed tests:

ostestr --regex '(tempest.api.object_storage) -b <path to skip test file>
