[Freeipa-devel] [PATCH][RFC] 9 CA-less tests generate failure

[Misnyovszki Adam]

Hi,

CA-less test suite always generate failures when installing revoked
certificates. This is a known issue, described in
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/4270 , this fix skips these
tests, outputting a notification message for the ticket.
Now it outputs this:

[amisnyov at host freeipa]$ ./make-test
ipatests/test_integration/test_caless.py:TestServerInstall.test_revoked_http                                                                                                                    
/usr/bin/nosetests -v --with-doctest --doctest-tests --exclude=plugins
ipatests/test_integration/test_caless.py:TestServerInstall.test_revoked_http
IPA server install with revoked HTTP certificate ... SKIP: Known
CA-less installation defect, see

OK (SKIP=1)

passed under '/usr/bin/python2.7'

** pass **

There could be another possible solution, I could write a nose plugin to
enable raising warnings instead of skipping a test. This could be
achieved by adding a @unittest.expectedFailure for a specific test, so
if it fails, it counts as an error/warning. There is a poc in a nose
ticket located in
http://code.google.com/p/python-nose/issues/detail?id=428 , not sure
how much time it takes to implement it as a plugin, or is it even
worth, because if this is implemented, we could also use this feature
when eg. DNS is not configured, this is why RFC.

Thanks
Adam
