Faitout changes home

By Pierre-Yves on Wednesday, August 5 2015, 11:02 - Général

Faitout is an application giving you full access to a postgresql database for 30 minutes.

This is really handy to run tests against.

For example, for some of my applications, I run the tests locally against a in-memory sqlite database (very fast) and when I push, the tests are ran on jenkins but this time using faitout (a little slower, but much closer to the production environment). This setup allows me to find early potential error in the code that sqlite does not trigger.

Faitout is running the cloud of the Fedora infrastructure and since this cloud has just been rebuilt, we had to move it. While doing so, faitout got a nice new address:

http://faitout.fedorainfracloud.org/

So if you are using it, don't forget to update your URL ;-)

Faitout, 1000 sessions

By Pierre-Yves on Thursday, June 26 2014, 16:28 - Général

A while back, I introduced faitout on this blog.

Since then I have been using it to tests most if not all the project I work on. I basically use the following set-up:

DB_PATH = 'sqlite:///:memory:'
FAITOUT_URL = 'http://209.132.184.152/faitout/'
try:
    import requests
    req = requests.get('%s/new' % FAITOUT_URL)
    if req.status_code == 200:
        DB_PATH = req.text
        print 'Using faitout at: %s' % DB_PATH
except:
    pass

This way, if I have network, the tests are run with faitout and thus against a real postgresql database while if I do not have network, they run against a sqlite in memory database.

This set-up allows me to work offline and still be easily able to run all the unit-tests as I change the code.

What the point of this blog was actually more to announce the fact that despite it's limited spread (only 25 different IP addresses have requested sessions), the tool is used and it has already reached the 1,000 sessions created (and dropped) in less than a year.



If you're not using it, I am inviting you to have a look at it, I find it marvelous in combination with Jenkins and it does help finding bugs in your code.

If you are using it, congrats and keep up the good work!!

F19 on jenkins

By Pierre-Yves on Monday, October 28 2013, 21:07 - Général

You may be aware that we have a jenkins server running in the fedora infrastructure for our projects (and some others).

Until today, it was running two builders: one EL6 and one Fedora 18.

I have now added a third builder running Fedora 19 and I need to look into adding a Fedora 20 once the beta is out this could really help for testing applications against the latest Fedora.

I will probably retire the Fedora 18 builder when I add the Fedora 20 one, so if you have a project building only on Fedora, you might want to check its configuration.



PS: If you have a project on jenkins, you may want to check if every thing it still set-up correctly, I just had to re-configure a couple of projects which are using git as scm.
