Description Matej Marušák 2019-11-13 10:59:09 UTC
Description of problem:
In current rhel-8.2 build there is no `varlink` subcommand. This breaks cockpit-podman.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
podman-1.6.2-5.module+el8.2.0+4584+0d586e68.x86_64


How reproducible:
```
$ podman varlink
Error: unrecognized command `podman varlink`
Try 'podman --help' for more information.
```
or how I found out:
```
$ sudo systemctl start io.podman
```

Additional info:
We (as cockpit-podman) have tests in rhel dist-git[1] and also integrate them into container-tools module[2] but it seems it is not working otherwise this would not slip in?

Comment 1 Martin Pitt 2019-11-13 11:02:46 UTC
Do you have any guidance how to add cockpit-podman's gating tests (http://pkgs.devel.redhat.com/cgit/rpms/cockpit-podman/tree/tests?h=stream-container-tools-rhel8-rhel-8.2.0) into http://pkgs.devel.redhat.com/cgit/modules/container-tools/tree/tests/tests.yml?h=rhel8-rhel-8.2.0 ? With all the complex roles structure it's not obvious how to do that. Can changes to that file be tested locally somehow, or do OSCI pull requests run them?

Comment 2 Ed Santiago 2019-11-13 14:06:12 UTC
A few rhel8 module builds were accidentally done without build tags; the 4602 build[1] should be back to normal.

> Do you have any guidance how to add cockpit-podman's gating tests

As of 2019-09-30 (when I asked this on #osci), there is no way to have one package run/chain/combine with another's gating tests. It is on their radar but I don't know where or what priority. The only current way to do it is by duplicating one in the other.

Comment 5 Martin Pitt 2019-11-13 21:32:40 UTC
@Ed: But this isn't "tie one package to another"; container-tools is the module, and cockpit-podman is one package in it, similar to podman itself, buildah, etc. These other components of that module already have their tests enabled, just not cockpit-podman.

Comment 6 Ed Santiago 2019-11-15 02:09:56 UTC
Sorry, I totally spaced about cockpit-podman being part of the module. It should be straightforward to include that test. I'm traveling this week but will get to this early next week. Thank you for clarifying.

Comment 7 Jindrich Novy 2019-11-20 14:52:54 UTC
Fixed in podman-1.6.3-1.el8 in container-tools-rhel8-8.2.0.

Comment 8 Martin Pitt 2019-11-22 08:16:44 UTC
This isn't in the nightlies yet [1], did the build fail or so?

Comment 9 Jindrich Novy 2019-11-22 09:56:11 UTC
Martin, maybe it's not yet there because gating tests are failing. We are working on it.
