Hide Forgot
Description of problem: Changes to dependencies in Fedora can break the Zanata client regardless how thoroughly the client has been tested at the time of release. This is difficult or impossible to avoid in the Fedora ecosystem, but we can minimize the ill effects by learning immediately if the Zanata client is broken, allowing quicker fixes. We should set up a Fedora install for each of the 3 latest versions of Fedora, and have a client test script run on them. - The script can be initiated from Jenkins via SSH. Failure reporting can be done through Jenkins, as with existing builds. - The script should run yum update, build an RPM for the appropriate client version, install the RPM, then run tests. - tests should include - installation of client from RPM - push source and translation files - pull source and translation files Rawhide is the most important to test frequently, since it changes more often. We probably want to maintain a branch of the client for each version of Fedora, to which we can apply platform-specific fixes.
These tests will use a specified host for the Zanata server. There are two things to test: 1. The released client RPM, which comes from updates-testing. 2. A custom-built RPM using the latest spec file from rawhide, and the latest code from a branch. Frequency for these tests is configurable (TBD)
