Description Michal Schorm 2025-08-13 09:16:02 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2382969 +++


Dear package maintainer,

This is an automated bug created due to the announced change proposal Disablement of STI tests.

Your project still has STI tests under `tests/tests*.yml`, which will no longer be run soon. We suggest you
migrate these tests to TMT format instead.

In the simplest case when the STI tests is a simple wrapper around a `tests/run_tests.sh`, the migration would
look like this:
```
$ tmt init
$ rm tests/tests.yml
$ cat <<EOF > ./plans.fmf
summary: Run all smoke tests
discover:
  how: fmf
execute:
  how: tmt
EOF
$ cat <<EOF > ./tests/main.fmf
summary: Smoke test
test: ./run_tests.sh
EOF
```

See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/DisableSTI for more information, including a link to a migration
guide.

Feel free to reach out to us here or in #fedora-ci or #tmt matrix rooms if you need any help.

Hello, I have looked into the change and I will be working on a fix

Comment 1 Michal Schorm 2025-08-13 09:18:13 UTC

An update has been pushed:
  https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mariadb11.8/c/63b1ca37bac2c442bfb14c181109c12538d71018?branch=rawhide
though it not yet seem to work as expected

That is quite a complicated setup, not sure what is meant to be doing, but a few tips:
- .fmf is just a fancy yaml file, so you can use whatever yaml formatter you want/have
- beakerlib install step can be avoided if you use beakerlib framework, and move the other parts inside the prep step
- you can *append* (not sure if there is pre-existing data there, but better to just append) to `$TMT_PLAN_ENVIRONMENT_FILE` [1] instead of the manual export command there
- as part of the current testing-farm handling the srpm packages are installed by default (although we are looking at removing that), maybe you can query from there instead
- is it not good to statically define the variables there? Maybe you can maintain those tests in src.fedoraproject.org/tests/mariadb if you need a common point to manage
