Tip: Debugging tests in OpenStack

One easy way to debug tests in openstack using pdb, is to include the sentence:

import pdb; pbd.set_trace()

at the begining of the test is failing, and re-run it with the –nocapture option:

ghe@debian:glance(master)$ ./run_tests.sh -N glance.tests.functional.v1.test_api --nocapture

/home/ghe/github/openstack/glance/glance/tests/functional/v1/test_api.py(1170)test_delete_not_existing()
-> self.cleanup()
(Pdb) 

Happy sysadmin day!
