Testsuite fails because of missing sample configuration file

[arthall]

The README-development.rst has a section on the configuration for testing, https://github.com/oracle/oci-python-sdk/blob/master/README-development.rst#specifying-a-config-file, but it's not clear that the expectation is for you to add your own config file. We'll update the doc and add a sample config file.

The reason the config file isn't supplied is because it uses resource identifiers which need to be defined based on your tenancy and compartment.

More information on configuration can be found here: https://oracle-cloud-infrastructure-python-sdk.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configuration.html

Thanks for the explanation!

I would like to be able to run the testsuite since I am packaging the SDK for openSUSE/SLE. This is just to add some level of QA when updating the SDK package in the future.

Do you have access to an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure tenant? Some of the tests consume resources since they start instances and upload files. Would you be interested in a set of tests that do not consume resources?

Do you have access to an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure tenant?

Yes, we do. However, we would like to have the tests run in the build infrastructure where there is no external cloud access available.

Would you be interested in a set of tests that do not consume resources?

Yes, that would be perfect.

I've made some progress on this ticket and expect to get the changes in with the next release. The tests that require a config file will now be skipped instead of failing.

[arthall]

The latest release, 2.2.2, should now skip tests which require a configuration file. The tests which do not consume resources will continue to run. @glaubitz please let me know if this meets your needs.

@glaubitz, I'm closing this issue now. Please re-open it if the latest releases don't meet your needs.
