CHANGELOG

Entries are in reverse chronological order.

0.1.18 (Current Development)

• …

0.1.17 (2017-09-27)

• Bug fix: I made a typo

0.1.16 (2017-09-27)

• Support extra vars files per stage and per suite, in the form on an extra_vars.json in the stage directory, with a fallback to the suite directory.

0.1.15 (2017-09-25)

• Performance improvement: don’t query Vagrant for each host for status individually when building the connection inventory. This mostly affects test inventories that have large-ish collections of hosts, and saves approx 30s per host.

0.1.14 (2017-05-26)

• Bug fix: the path to Vagrant isn’t always /usr/local/bin. Remove the hard coding and rely on $PATH. [#1]

0.1.13 (2017-02-23)

• Bug fix: reject! won’t always return the Hash. We need to return that explicitly.

0.1.12 (2017-02-23)

• Initial support for testing the results of the playbook run, to check for number of changes applied by ansible-playbook.

0.1.11 (2017-01-17)

• Increase wait time for Ansible Playbook run to 1 hour instead of teh default 10 minutes.

0.1.10 (2017-01-17)

• Bug fix: Ignore group variables in inventories. Previously these were treated as hosts.

0.1.9 (2017-01-12)

• Only generate per-stage per-action tasks if the ENV variable DEBUG is set (to anything that’s not the empty string).

0.1.8 (2017-01-08)

• Clean up the generated inventory after the test has run.

• Add a simple example in lieu of tests.

• Code clean-up including using Forwardable to avoid lots of tiny forwarding methods, and correctly namespacing the ServerSpec and Vagrant classes. Sorry for polluting your programmes!

0.1.7 (2017-01-06)

• Allow setting the Vagrantfile.erb template in the root of the test suite to provide a default to use if there are no test specific customisations required.

0.1.6 (2017-01-05)

• Allow setting ENV variables for the Vagrant command by adding an env file to the test suite or individual test.

• Bug fix: set correct Ansible variable for SSH key to access VMs.

• Allow setting verbosity of Ansible output using ANSIBLE_VERBOSITY. This will only be seen if LOG_LEVEL is debug, but it can be handy even in that case.

0.1.5 (2016-12-29)

• Bug fix: Only generate connection inventory for those hosts in the current stage.

0.1.4 (2016-12-27)

• Bug fix: allow connecting to VMs when we generate their IP address on the fly.

• Bug fix: correctly expand the staging directory when searching for the stages playbook.yml or inventory file.

0.1.3 (2016-12-27)

• Various bug fixes - mostly typos that would stop the full test run happening.

• Add a command line tool, so we don’t need the Rakefile. Currently this only handles running the entire test suite.

• Stop requiring that the inventory files specify an IP address. If no IP address is provided for a VM it will be assigned an unallocated one.

• Simplify asking Compound to define Rake tasks by allowing it to guess the directories involved. These can still be overridden, but they shouldn’t normally need to be.

• Stop supporting the concept of ‘simple’ tests - tests which have only one implicit stage. Compound feels most useful when focussing on lifecycle style tests which have several stages.

0.1.2 (2016-12-16)

Allow a default inventory and playbook for each test, living in the test directory instead of in each stage. This is less likely to be useful for the playbook, but a default inventory will reduce duplication.

0.1.1 (2016-12-16)

Symlink wrapper playbooks instead of writing temporary playbooks with includes.

0.1.0 (2016-12-11)

Initial release.
