This page is only draft, and will change in time.

See ResultsDB schema
Knowledge from AutoQA_resultsdb_schema may be required.

Syntax Description

method_name (arg1, [arg2, arg3 = "Foo"]) -> return_value

• method_name ~ name of the respective method (see #Methods)
• arg1 ~ required argument
• arg2 ~ optional argument, default value is set to None
• arg3 ~ optional argument, default value is set to "Foo"
• -> return_value ~ method gives back the return_value

Methods

start_job

start_job ([testplan_url]) -> job_id

Params

• testplan_url ~ link to wiki page with metadata (usefull for frontends)

Returns

• job_id ~ job identifier for Job <-> Testrun relationship.

Intended to be used mostly by the AutoQA scheduler, when one will need to logically connect results of more tests for one package/repo/... The job_id value will then be passed to the test probably via control file (i.e. another argument for job.run())

start_testrun

start_testrun (test_url, [job_id]) -> testrun_id

Params

• test_url ~ link to wiki page with metadata (usefull for frontends)
• job_id ~ optional argument. If set, new record will be created in the Job <-> Testrun relationship table.

Returns

• testrun_id ~ identifier of the record inside Testrun table.

Use to create new entry in the Testrun table. Sets up the start_time and creates new entry in the Job<->Testrun relationship table, if job_id was set. Returns testrun_id which is required as an argument for almost every method. testrun_id is the key identifying the relationship between Testrun and the other tables in database.

end_testrun

end_testrun (testrun_id, result, log_url, [keyval_pairs, summary, highlights, score])

Params

• testrun_id ~ Testrun identifier (see #start_testrun
• result ~ PASSED, FAILED, INFO, ... (see <<Result>> at ResultsDB schema)
• log_url ~ URL pointing to logs etc. (most probably in the Autotest storage)
• keyval_pairs ~ Dictionary (JSON?) of key-value pairs to be stored (see #store_keyval).
• summary ~ ? not sure right now, probably name of the file with summary which could be found at log_url
• highlights ~ ? not sure right now, probably name of the file, which will contain 'digest' from the logs (created by the test by selecting appropriate error/warn messages etc.) with summary which could be found at log_url
• score ~ ? not sure. kparal?

start_phase

start_phase (testrun_id, name)

Params

end_phase

end_phase (testrun_id, result)

Params

store_keyval

store_keyval (testrun_id, keyval_pairs)

Params

Workflows

Simple

testrun_id = start_testrun ("http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Some_test_page")
end_testrun (testrun_id, "PASSED", log_url)

Phases - simple

testrun_id = start_testrun ("http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Some_test_page")
  start_phase (testrun_id, "First phase")
  end_phase (testrun_id, "PASSED")
  start_phase (testrun_id, "Second phase")
  end_phase (testrun_id, "PASSED")
end_testrun (testrun_id, "PASSED", log_url)

Phases - nested

testrun_id = start_testrun ("http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Some_test_page")
  start_phase (testrun_id, "First phase")
    start_phase (testrun_id, "Second phase")
    end_phase (testrun_id, "PASSED")
  end_phase (testrun_id, "PASSED")
end_testrun (testrun_id, "PASSED", log_url)

Using Job

job_id = start_job ()
  testrun_id = start_testrun ("http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Some_test_page", job_id)
    start_phase (testrun_id, "First phase")
    end_phase (testrun_id, "PASSED")
  end_testrun (testrun_id, "PASSED", log_url)

  testrun_id = start_testrun ("http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Some_other_test_page", job_id)
    start_phase (testrun_id, "First phase")
    end_phase (testrun_id, "PASSED")
  end_testrun (testrun_id, "PASSED", log_url)
