The architects of any project won't be there forever with it ( not everyone has the luxury to be a BDFL ), hence it is important to have the thought process documented so that one doesn't need to go through the code. We for one believe in proper documentation. The very idea of developers and engineers being spartans who understand logic only from code is what we feel as . We need to be civilized humans and make it easy for the next person coming in to just glance at what it is, why it is and how it is.

Detailed Design

Set up

To start Working:

Clone redant repo.
Populate the conf.yaml with relevant server and client details..

STEP-BY-STEP procedure to run:

git clone [your fork for this repo]
Create a virtual environment using : virtualenv <virtual_env_name> or python3 -m venv <virtual-env-name>
Activate the virtual-env : source <virtual_env_name>/bin/activate
cd [the-fork]
Run pip3 install -r requirements.txt
To run the sample TC, just run the below cmd after populating the config file with relevant values. The command has to be run from the main redant reository. The tests path should be given with respect to the redant directory. python3 ./core/redant_main.py -c ./config/config.yml -t tests/example/ For more options, run python3 ./core/redant_main.py --help
Log files can be found at /var/log/redant/ [ default path ].

The logging is specific to a TC run. So when a user gives a specific base dir for logging when invoking redant_main.py, that directory will inturn contain the following dirs, -> functional -> performance -> example

Now, based on the invocation, directory of a component will be created inside the functional and performace dirs. And inside the component directory, the Test case specific directory will be created which inturn will contain volume specific log files. So for example to see the log files of a test case which is, functional/<gluster_component>/<test_name>/test_sample.py one would have to go to the directory, <base_log_dir>/<time_stamp>/functional/<gluster_component>/test_sample, which will inturn contain the log files specific to volume type.

In addition to running TCs from within a suite, either performance or functional or even under a more granular level of component, one can select to run a specific TC also. For example, python3 core/redant_main.py -c config/config.yml -t tests/example/sample_component

One can also run the scripts given under the tools dir which will reduce the lengthy commands to be typed out everytime. Check out the README.md at the link Tools-README
