Migrate runtime pytest.skip() calls across 34 files to use the typed skip_env() wrapper from test.pylib.skip_types. These sites skip at runtime because a required feature, config option, library version, build mode, or runtime topology is not available. Also fixes 'raise pytest.skip(...)' in test_audit.py — skip_env() already raises internally, so the explicit raise was incorrect. Each file gains one new import: from test.pylib.skip_types import skip_env
Front-end tests for nodetool
The tests in this directory exercise the nodetool client itself, mocking the API backend. This allows for testing all combinations of all supported options, and still keeping the tests quick.
The tests can be run against both the scylla-native nodetool (default), or the inherited, C*-based nodetool.
Run all tests against the scylla-native nodetool:
pytest --nodetool=scylla .
You can specify the path to the scylla binary with the --nodetool-path option. By default the tests will pick up the ScyllaDB executable, that is appropriate for the --mode option (defaults to dev).
Run all tests against the C* nodetool:
pytest --nodetool=cassandra .
Again, you can specify the path to the nodetool binary with --nodetool-path option. By default, <scylladb.git>/tools/java/bin/nodetool will be used.
When running the test against the java-nodeotol, you can specify the path to JMX with --jmx-path option. By default, <scylladb.git>/tools/jmx/scripts/scylla-jmx will be used.
If you add new tests, make sure to run all tess against both nodetool implementations, to avoid regressions. Note that CI/promotion will only run the tests against the scylla-native nodetool.
