We have in alternator-test a set of over 340 functional tests for
Alternator. These tests are written in Python using the pytest
framework, expect Scylla to be running and connect to it using the
DynamoDB API with the "boto3" library (the AWS SDK for Python).
We have a script alternator-test/run which does everything needed
to run all these tests: Starts Scylla with the appropriate parameters
in a temporary directory, runs all the tests against it, and makes
sure the temporary directory is removed (regardless of whether the
tests succeeded or failed).
The goal of this small patch series is to integrate these Alternator
tests into test.py in a *simple* way. The idea is that we add *one*
test which just runs the aforementioned "run" script which does its
own business.
The changes we needed to do in this series to achieve this are:
1. Make the alternator-test/run script pick a unique IP address on which
to listen, instead of always using 127.0.0.1. This allows running
this test in parallel with dtest tests, or even parallel to itself.
2. Move the alternator-test directory to test/alternator. This is
the directory where test.py expects all the tests to live in.
It also makes sense - since we already have multiple subdirectories
in test/, to put the Alternator tests there too.
3. Add a new test suite type, "Run". A "Run" suite is simply a directory
with a script called "run", and this script is run to run the entire
suite, and this script does its own business.
4. Tests (such as the new "Run" ones) who can be killed gently and clean
up after themselves, should be killed with SIGTERM instead of
SIGKILL.
After this series, to run the Alternator tests from test.py, do:
./test.py --mode dev alternator
Note that in this version, the "--mode" has no effect - test/alternator/run
always runs the latest compiled Scylla, regardless of the chosen mode.
This can be fixed later.
The Alternator tests can still be run manually and individually against
a running Scylla or DynamoDB as before - just go to the test/alternator
directory and run "pytest" with the desired parameters.
Fixes #6046
