Meeting Minutes

StackStorm v3.9 release

Following the installation script being fix, the package e2e tests were failing because of deprecated AMI id being used in the test workflow.
In addition to the re-write of the installation scripts, the installation URL now takes a version, which redirect to the github
branch so that the install script doesn't have to maintain backward compatibility.

New AMI ids have been configured for the e2e tests.

The e2e tests are still failing, in part due to the installation URL changes, so further investigation and fixes are required.

The pipeline uses the below packs:

• https://github.com/StackStorm/st2ci
• https://github.com/StackStorm/st2cd
• https://github.com/StackStorm/st2cicd
• https://github.com/StackStorm/st2tests

Pants

No updates this month.

Other talking points

pytest rbac / ldap backup

It was noticed that the st2 backends were overlooked as part of migrating tests from nose to pytest for Orquesta and St2 repositories. The below repositories must/should be migrated to pytest also.

Required for v3.9 release:

• https://github.com/StackStorm/st2-auth-ldap
• https://github.com/StackStorm/st2-auth-backend-flat-file
• https://github.com/StackStorm/st2-rbac-backend

Optional for v3.9 release:

• https://github.com/StackStorm/st2-auth-backend-vault
• https://github.com/StackStorm/st2-auth-backend-pam
• https://github.com/StackStorm/st2-auth-backend-mongodb
• https://github.com/StackStorm/st2-auth-backend-keystone

Special case for v3.10 release:

• https://github.com/StackStorm/st2-auth-backend-sso-saml2

Community help with e2e test pipeline

The question of how to allow people to help with fixing the st2 release pipeline was raised. Despite the StackStorm packs being available on github in public repositories, access to the st2 instance is behind VPN access which is currently reserved for senior maintainers. Further discussion and brainstorming will be required to find a way to lower the barrier for entry without compromising security/resources.

Actions

• Carlos nzlosh and Jake skiedude will work together on this.
• Jake skiedude to look into migrating rbac and auth-ldap to pytest.

Mentioning since this is related to v3.9 release, currently pack testing fails with st2-run-pack-tests utility - StackStorm/st2#6337

[cognifloyd]

I think the pam auth backend gets included in the st2-packages repo which would mean it is not optional to fix.
