Andrei Chekun 21a1ff3d5c test.py: remove not supported functionality
In the current state pytest do not support the order of execution, so this parameter is removed. There is no big need in this due to the differences what pytest and test.py counted test. pytest run test functions in the threads, while test.py executed test files in the threads. That's why pytest's way is more granular and allows to fill threads better.
Remove skip node, since it already added as a pytest mark for each test in the file.
Remove pool_size, since this is not used by pytest at all. Pytest uses
xdist to set the amount of threads instead of pool_size used by test.py

Tests for the Scylla REST API.

Tests use the requests library and the pytest frameworks (both are available from Linux distributions, or with "pip install").

To run all tests using test.py, just run ./test.py api/run.

To run all tests against an already-running local installation of Scylla, just run pytest. The "--host" and "--api-port" can be used to give a different location for the running Scylla.

More conveniently, we have a script - "run" - which does all the work necessary to start Scylla, and run the tests on it. The Scylla process is run in a temporary directory which is automatically deleted when the test ends.

"run" automatically picks the most recently compiled version of Scylla in build/*/scylla - but this choice of Scylla executable can be overridden with the SCYLLA environment variable.

Additional options can be passed to "pytest" or to "run" to control which tests to run:

  • To run all tests in a single file, do pytest test_system.py.
  • To run a single specific test, do pytest test_system.py::test_system_uptime_ms.
  • To run the same test or tests 100 times, add the --count=100 option. This is faster than running run 100 times, because Scylla is only run once, and also counts for you how many of the runs failed. For pytest to support the --count option, you need to install a pytest extension: pip install pytest-repeat

Additional useful pytest options, especially useful for debugging tests:

  • -v: show the names of each individual test running instead of just dots.
  • -s: show the full output of running tests (by default, pytest captures the test's output and only displays it if a test fails)
