Hi,
I wanted to add it to the mdadm repo, let say under directory
"python_tests". I didn't started work yet. Those tests should stay with mdadm,
so we can develop them with Coly using mdadm-ci and later ask Jes to merge the
branch.

I am fine and supportive to this idea. mdadm-tests is from the ci 
testing itself, I can copy python_tests to it time to time.

I don't have any details, I just asked to gather feedback. Seems that there is
big interest in this change. If there is any volunteer to take this topic and
prepare python API for testing and first tests- I will be pleased to help.

I could take long time before I will start this topic.

Let's wait for response. If no one response for a while, then the person 
should be me LOL. I am learning Python now, and the progress might take 
time anyway.


Thanks.

Thanks,

Hi Xiao,

Yes there is a git repo specific for test scripts, to test the mdadm-ci repo.
It is located on kernel.org git server, which currently only contains bash
scripts copied from mdadm.

Thanks for the effort. Have you init the git project to start this? If
so, you can send it, so we can
work together about this.

Best Regards
Xiao

Hello All,
I'm working on names handling in mdadm and I need to add some new test to
the mdadm scope - to verify that it is working as desired.
Bash is not best choice for testing and in current form, our tests are not
friendly for developers. I would like to introduce another python based
test scope and add it to repository. I will integrate it with current
framework.

I can see that currently test are not well used and they aren't often
updated. I want to bring new life to them. Adopting more modern approach
seems to be good start point.
Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance,
Mariusz
