CI/Examples

On this page you can find some inspiration from real-life examples of tests already enabled in the Fedora CI.

Python

There are multiple versions of Python programming language available in Fedora and a number of related subpackages. As all of them should be tested (including their various combinatios) we share test coverage for them in the tests namespace:

• https://src.fedoraproject.org/tests/python

Once the test is avaible in the share test repository it can be easily linked from supported Python versions:

• python2 python26
• python3 python34 python35 python36

We test additional Python implementations as well:

• pypy pypy3
• jython

Plus we ensure that essential Python tools such as setuptools, virtualenv or pip correctly work with all supported versions:

• python-pip
• python-wheel
• python-setuptools
• python-virtualenv

Note that for the last set of examples we run the same test several times with modified environment. For example:

   - smoke36:
       dir: python/smoke
       run: VERSION=3.6 ./venv.sh
   - smoke37:
       dir: python/smoke
       run: VERSION=3.7 ./venv.sh
   - smoke26:
       dir: python/smoke
       run: VERSION=2.6 METHOD=virtualenv TOX=false ./venv.sh
   - smoke27:
       dir: python/smoke
       run: VERSION=2.7 METHOD=virtualenv ./venv.sh
   - smoke34_virtualenv:
       dir: python/smoke
       run: VERSION=3.4 METHOD=virtualenv ./venv.sh

In this way we create several virtual test cases from a single test code which prevents duplication and minimizes future maintenance.
