Hi Gluster-devel,
It's been awhile, since we updated gluster-devel on things related to Glusto.
The big thing in the works for Glusto is Python3 compatibility.
A port is in progress, and the target is October to have a branch ready for testing. Look for another update here when that is available.
Thanks to Vijay Avuthu for testing a change to the Python2 version of Carteplex (the cartesian product module in Glusto that drives the runs_on decorator used in Gluster tests). Tests inheriting from GlusterBaseClass have been using im_func to make calls against the base class setUp method. This change allows the use of super() as well as im_func.
On a related note, the syntax for both im_func and super() changes in Python3. The "Developer Guide for Tests and Libraries" section of the glusterfs/glusto-tests docs currently shows "GlusterBaseClass.setUp.im_func(self)", but will be updated with the preferred call for Python3.
And lastly, you might have seen an issue with tests under Python2 where a run kicked off via py.test or /usr/bin/glusto would immediately fail with a message indicating gcc needs to be installed. The problem was specific to a recent update of PyTest and scandir, and the original workaround was to install gcc or a previous version of pytest and scandir. The scandir maintainer fixed the issue upstream with scandir 1.9.0 (available in PyPI).
That's all for now.
Cheers,
Jonathan (loadtheacc)
