The Alternator test suite usually runs on a specific configuration of
Scylla set up by test.py or test/alternator/run. However, we do consider
it an important design goal of this test suite that developers should be
able to run these tests against any DynamoDB-API implementation, including
any version Scylla manually run by the developer in *any way* he or she
pleases.
The recent commit dc80b5dafe changed the way
we retrieve the configured autentication key, which is needed if Scylla is
run with --alternator-enforce-authorization. However, the new code assumed
that Scylla was also run with
--authenticator PasswordAuthenticator --authorizer CassandraAuthorizer
so that the default role of "cassandra" has a valid, non-null, password
(namely, "cassandra"). If the developer ran Scylla manually without
these options, the test initialization code broke, and all tests in the
suite failed.
This patch fixes this breakage. You can now run the Alternator test
suite against Scylla run manually without any of the aforementioned
options, and everything will work except some tests in test_authorization.py
will fail as expected.
This patch has no affect on the usual test.py or test/alternator/run
runs, as they already run Scylla with all the aforementioned options
and weren't exposed to the problem fixed here.

If you can use an existing folder, consider adding your test to it. New folders should be used for new large categories/subsystems, or when the test environment is significantly different from some existing suite, e.g. you plan to start scylladb with different configuration, and you intend to add many tests and would like them to reuse an existing Scylla cluster (clusters can be reused for tests within the same folder).
To add a new folder, create a new directory, and then
copy & edit its suite.ini.
