Ceph make check in docker

loic

After Ceph is built from sources, unit and functional tests can be run with make check. Delegating the execution to a container makes it possible to:

  • keep working on the sources without disrupting the run
  • run functional tests that require root privileges without modifying the development environment
  • check various operating systems

The src/test/docker-test-helper.sh library can be used from the command line:

$ test/docker-test.sh --os-type ubuntu --os-version 14.04 make check & $ test/docker-test.sh --os-type centos --os-version centos7 make check &

Each run uses a clone of the current repository and pulls from origin before executing the command. For instance, if running from /srv/ceph, the centos run will run make check in /srv/ceph-centos-centos7 which is bind mounted in the container. A possible workflow is:

  • work
  • commit
  • test/docker-test.sh make check which pulls the latest commits
  • keep working
  • check the make check output

In case an error happens, debugging starts by running a shell in the container

$ test/docker-test.sh --os-type ubuntu --os-version 14.04 --shell remote: Counting objects: 10, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (10/10), done. remote: Total 10 (delta 8), reused 0 (delta 0) Unpacking objects: 100% (10/10), done. From /home/loic/software/ceph/ceph

The first time test/docker-test.sh runs, it creates a docker images populated with the packages necessary to compile and run Ceph. This lowers the overhead to run a test in the container:
