Load/run rb file for smoke test

[darrenhaken]

Is it possible to load an rb file for the smoke test rather than being inline? If so can you share an example?

It's ruby code so you can do anything you want.

Execute a rake task:

    smoke_test: |
      raise "smoke failed" unless system("rake test:smoke SMOKE_TEST_HOSTNAME=#{host_name}")

Run a python verify script:

    smoke_test: |
      raise "smoke failed" unless system("python verify.py #{host_name}")

load a ruby script

    smoke_test: |
        load "smoke_test.rb"

I tried below but it didn't work as it said the rb file didn't exist. Now you've confirmed it should work I'll look into it again

smoke_test: |
        load "smoke_test.rb"

@wpc do you know if eb_deployer defines an environment variable for the environment set?

I ran ENVIRONMENT=test eb_deploy -c eb_deployer.yml -p test.zip -e test and ENV['ENVIRONMENT'] returns "project-name-test"

[wpc]

That's weird, eb_deployer do not set any environment variables. Use export to check predefined environment variable in your terminal, and check your inline code in the config file as well.

@wpc I'll look if it's being set on the CI server.

In the smoke test examples it defines a variable host_name but when I used it in smoke_test.rb it says its undefined. How does this get set?

[wpc]

i guess you can do

smoke_test: |
        SMOKE_TEST_HOST_NAME="#{host_name}"
        load "smoke_test.rb"

then reference the host name by constant.
