10:08:58 kashyap Yeah, I have that open, and looking at it
10:09:28 kashyap Had the same thing last year -- spent weeks fixing all kinds of unit test failures due to the bump
10:10:26 kashyap mdbooth: Thanks for the hint
10:10:31 mdbooth It's almost as bad as the 'code diff' tests we used to write, but fortunately seem to be going out of fashion now.
10:23:45 kashyap mdbooth: So if I changed the position from 8 --> 7 "it succeeds":
10:23:46 kashyap + self._test_get_guest_config_ppc64(7)
10:23:46 kashyap - self._test_get_guest_config_ppc64(8)
10:23:57 kashyap That "solution" makes me feel physically stupid.
10:24:55 mdbooth kashyap: If you do that: https://goo.gl/images/6ehtJv
10:25:23 kashyap :D
10:26:16 mdbooth kashyap: Although it might be the pragmatic thing to do. The problem is that the correct thing to do here is to determine what the test was actually trying to test, and rewrite it so that it tests it.
10:26:35 mdbooth That would require mental effort from the reviewer which you may find hard to come by.
10:26:44 kashyap Yeah, I will freely admit that I'm "still in the process of grokking it all"
10:26:58 mdbooth From experience, I can say that nobody likes reviewing long series of test fixes.
10:27:04 kashyap mdbooth: Yeah, I don't think anyone gives a damn thing about it
10:27:17 kashyap mdbooth: I will for now do the "pragmatic thing" (I feel really dirty doing it)
10:27:38 mdbooth At least write a comment containing an apology and blaming somebody else ;)
10:27:41 kashyap Because I hate that I don't understand the root cause entirely. I probably will if I spend my whole day duking around various files
10:27:46 kashyap mdbooth: Yeah, good point.
10:27:56 kashyap "Leave the trace for the poor sucker who comes later."
10:42:09 openstackgerrit caoxufeng proposed openstack/nova master: oslo.config==6.8.0 requires rfc3986>=1.2.0 and requirements project had made rfc3986==1.2.0 in upper-constraints.txt,so modify it . https://review.openstack.org/632391
11:39:54 openstackgerrit Theodoros Tsioutsias proposed openstack/nova master: Add requested_networks to RequestSpec https://review.openstack.org/570201
11:39:55 openstackgerrit Theodoros Tsioutsias proposed openstack/nova master: [WIP] Enable rebuild for instances in cell0 https://review.openstack.org/570203
11:39:55 openstackgerrit Theodoros Tsioutsias proposed openstack/nova master: Add instance hard delete https://review.openstack.org/570202
12:47:55 kashyap mdbooth: Tiny progress!
12:48:27 kashyap I at least see a "pattern" that some of these tests seem to fail only when I update FAKE_QEMU_VERSION
12:48:34 kashyap If that is unchanged, then the test succeeds.
12:50:01 mdbooth kashyap: But you need to change it...
12:50:32 kashyap Yes, yes. I was isolating the problem
12:50:47 kashyap mdbooth: For example, see this small PDB session w/ & without my patch for guest.devices: http://paste.openstack.org/show/743172/
12:51:08 kashyap This is a different test that also fails due to:
12:51:10 kashyap self.assertEqual(2, len(guest.devices))
12:51:19 kashyap [...]
12:51:24 kashyap testtools.matchers._impl.MismatchError: 2 != 1
12:52:06 kashyap The fakelibvirt.py is "misbehaving" due to the version change.
12:59:59 mdbooth kashyap: There are way too many version checks for me to audit quickly. Honestly I'm not sure it's worth it, though. Could you not just change the test to scan the list of the devices for the one it's looking for?
13:05:47 kashyap I think I've got a lead; will update once done.
13:05:55 kashyap mdbooth: Please disregard me for now.
13:07:28 mdbooth kashyap: If I wanted to track it down quickly, I'd modify the unit test to spit out the device list, compare the generated devices with and without the bumped version number, then go find the guard in that code.
13:08:40 kashyap mdbooth: I don't know how to get the device list.
13:08:52 kashyap That's why I went the PDB route with and without my patch
13:09:16 kashyap And got that: dir(guest.devices[0]) output at the bottom: http://paste.openstack.org/raw/743168/
13:09:35 mdbooth kashyap: Right, so you've worked out what device was removed?
13:10:07 kashyap 'port' seems to be missing on the second iteration
13:10:19 kashyap mdbooth: And ... weirdly enough, see this comment from migi on the review:
13:10:24 kashyap https://review.openstack.org/#/c/632507/2/nova/virt/libvirt/driver.py
13:11:16 kashyap He says updating MIN_QEMU_VIRTLOGD from 2.7.0 --> 2.9.0 "fixes" it.
13:11:31 kashyap But...that constant will also be removed, as the new MIN satisfies the condition.
13:11:45 kashyap If you're on something else, ignore it. Don't split your attention
13:29:15 openstackgerrit Matt Riedemann proposed openstack/nova stable/rocky: Convert port to str when validate console port https://review.openstack.org/632720
13:51:10 kashyap Haha, I was wondering why on _earth_ a particular console code behaviour is the way it is ... and the code comment points to a RHT Bugzilla.
13:51:37 kashyap I click it ... and it points to a bug I filed in Jan-2012! -- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=781467
13:51:38 openstack bugzilla.redhat.com bug 781467 in libvirt "RFE: virsh: 'console' support for non-PTY (unix, tcp)" [Medium,New] - Assigned to libvirt-maint
14:12:39 openstackgerrit Maciej Jozefczyk proposed openstack/nova master: Force refresh instance info_cache during heal https://review.openstack.org/591607
14:12:39 openstackgerrit Maciej Jozefczyk proposed openstack/nova master: Add fill_virtual_interface_list online_data_migration script https://review.openstack.org/614167
14:13:11 jaypipes belmoreira: good afternoon, sir. just wondering if you'd found any time to test out that single-query-per-cell instance info fetcher patch (https://review.openstack.org/#/c/623558/)? no worries if not, I know you're super busy
14:28:14 kashyap It is so cathartic to "remove" code...
14:28:32 kashyap Reminds me of the quote from UNIX hero, Douglas Mcilroy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_McIlroy#Views_on_computing
14:31:10 cdent kashyap: quite: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/618215/
14:31:38 kashyap Also as Elements of Style says: "Omit needless words"
14:31:48 kashyap cdent: Whoa ... /me bows
14:31:56 kashyap It is nearing merging
14:32:17 cdent that's the smaller of two. the one to remove the placement tests (already merged) was more lines (but much of it yaml)
14:33:11 kashyap That `diff stat` ... nice work. I guess the new repo is shaping up nice and well
14:34:11 cdent yeah, external placement is what runs in the intergrated gate now
14:35:28 kashyap Naice
14:50:50 openstackgerrit Eric Fried proposed openstack/nova master: ksa auth conf and client for cyborg access https://review.openstack.org/631242
15:09:45 openstackgerrit Kashyap Chamarthy proposed openstack/nova master: [WIP] libvirt: Bump MIN_{LIBVIRT,QEMU}_VERSION for "Stein" https://review.openstack.org/632507
15:46:27 efried cdent, melwitt: I probably won't make the nova IRC meeting tomorrow; will be on the road again. Not much worth reporting from the n-sch meeting.
15:47:03 cdent
15:47:44 sean-k-mooney cdent: do you keep that tick copy pasted or is there a keyboard sort cut for it
15:48:29 cdent i've got my keyboard setup to allow inputting unicode codepoints and have that one memorize opt/alt+2714
15:59:00 melwitt efried: ack
16:02:30 prometheanfire new libvirt-python (5.0.0) has been proposed to upperconstaints, just an fyi
16:11:27 kashyap prometheanfire: Got the change URL handy?
16:11:51 kashyap The next min libvirt version for "Train" release is 4.0.0.
16:12:13 kashyap IIRC, we should stick to matching libvirt-python binding.
16:14:21 prometheanfire https://www.libvirt.org/news.html ?
16:14:56 prometheanfire kashyap: iirc libvirt-python maintains backwards compat
16:15:10 kashyap prometheanfire: Oh, certainly it does
16:15:37 kashyap But, I'm forgetting some "fine print" that a libvirt dev told on IRC some months ago
16:16:05 kashyap When proposing a higher libvirt-python version, I'd appreciate people noting rationale in the commit message, too.
16:16:09 prometheanfire LOL
16:16:10 prometheanfire https://github.com/libvirt/libvirt-python/compare/v4.10.0...v5.0.0
16:16:13 prometheanfire one change
16:17:48 kashyap prometheanfire: You should compare 4.0.0, not 4.10.0.
16:17:50 kashyap https://github.com/libvirt/libvirt-python/compare/v4.0.0...v5.0.0
16:17:59 kashyap Many many changes in there.
16:18:21 prometheanfire libvirt-python is already on 4.10.0
16:18:30 prometheanfire for master
17:07:22 kashyap Sure. I said v4.4.0 because that's the version we are targetting for "Train". If there is a review change, post it there. /me needs to be AFK soon.
17:11:50 openstackgerrit Stephen Finucane proposed openstack/nova master: Make 'plugin' a required argument for '_get_vif_instance' https://review.openstack.org/608279
17:11:51 openstackgerrit Stephen Finucane proposed openstack/nova master: Remove get_config_vhostuser https://review.openstack.org/565471
17:18:18 belmoreira jaypipes: by the end of week we expect to test the "cherry-pick" of efried patch for placement requests (tssurya is working on it). After, we will do yours (we need to check how much different is your approach comparing with what we currently have and how difficult it is to have it in rocky)
17:18:39 jaypipes belmoreira: cool :) thanks!
17:21:42 openstackgerrit Jack Ding proposed openstack/nova master: Flavor extra spec and image properties validation https://review.openstack.org/620706
17:53:35 canori01 hey guys, if I need to send nova notifications to multiple rabbit queues, is there more two it than just adding the notification topic? I am running both ceilometer and designate so I have "notification_topics = notifications,notifications_designate" in my config...but while the notifications queue gets the messages, notifications_designate doesn't get anything
18:49:36 stephenfin canori01: Maybe try again tomorrow earlier in UTC when gibi is about?
20:18:40 openstackgerrit Hang Yang proposed openstack/nova master: Fix port dns_name reset https://review.openstack.org/631684
