Description
We are converting the JEOS build to the vmware platform format.
Setup
Clone the BoxGrinder test appliances into a convenient location using command git clone https://github.com/msavy/boxgrinder-appliances.git
Put the following BoxGrinder config into a file named: ~/.boxgrinder/config
plugins:
vmware:
type: enterprise
thin_disk: true
Choose the right $HOME
Please note the location of $HOME (~/) will vary depending upon the manner in which you elevated to root privileges. Ensure you place the configuration file in the correct location for your preferred method.
Please note the location of $HOME (~/) will vary depending upon the manner in which you elevated to root privileges. Ensure you place the configuration file in the correct location for your preferred method.
If you are doing this test case using a virtual machine
You should transfer any images produced by BoxGrinder Build for testing onto your real host rather than attempting to execute a VM inside of another VM.
You should transfer any images produced by BoxGrinder Build for testing onto your real host rather than attempting to execute a VM inside of another VM.
How to test
- Navigate to directory
boxgrinder-appliances/testing-appliances/jeos-appls/ - Execute
boxgrinder-build fedora-rawhide-jeos.appl -p vmware - Run the produced vmdk/vmx files in your favourite virtualization application. Replace $basearch in the paths with your architecture, for instance via:
uname -i:build/appliances/$basearch/fedora/rawhide/Rawhide-jeos/vmware-plugin/fedora-rawhide.vmdkandbuild/appliances/$basearch/fedora/rawhide/Rawhide-jeos/vmware-plugin/fedora-rawhide.vmx - Log in with user:
rootpassword:boxgrinder - Run the following Test Case in the VM: QA:Network_basic_test_case
Expected Results
The following must be true to consider this a successful test run.
- Step #2 completes without error (indicated on console)
- Program completes with exit code 0
- Successfully boot and log into the vmware appliance without error
- QA:Network_basic_test_case is performed successfully on the new appliance
