Hi Dan,
I have few questions regarding a
beaker.qa.fp.org. What is the state of
the project right now? I now work with DesktopQA team on upstreaming
their tests. And because they run their tests on internal beaker so I'd
like to mimic their workflow. So I'd like to try to run tests on our
Fedora's beaker.
So my questions. Does the
beaker.qa.fp.org works at all? Could you give
me access to at least one machine? Can I help you somehow with make it
work? What can I do to put F26 or Rawhide trees to Beaker?
Thank you for your answers. Have a nice day. With regards
Petr Schindler (Fedora QA)
I've cc'ed the Fedora qa-devel list. Tim Flink did a lot of work getting
the Fedora Beaker instance set up.
If you wanted to get access to use it, I'm sure we could do that. We
would just need to add you to this group:
https://beaker.qa.fedoraproject.org/groups/qa-beaker-users#members
As far as I know, Beaker itself is fully up and running now (we had some
issues with Fedora authentication but they were all sorted out a while
back). However it looks like the Dell machines attached to Beaker are
not successfully booting into the installer right now. Tim might know
more about what is missing/broken with them. I'm not entirely sure
what's wrong because I don't think I have access to their serial
console.
That reminds me, one thing we never did set up properly is a Conserver
instance so that Beaker can scrape the serial console logs. That would
certainly make it easier to see why the Dell machines aren't netbooting
successfully.
I should try and see about writing a playbook to deploy Conserver...
