Hi all,

I have tried interactive feature in following ways: a) Simply adding interactive to tasks: It does nothing.[1][2]

b) Setting interactive to 'true': It does nothing as well but this message is logged: 'Running task

interactive...' [3][4]

Hi Varsha,

If you run teuthology manually (i.e. "teuthology ..." instead of "teuthology-suite ..."), once it gets to the interactive task, it will stop and you will be presented with a python-like prompt, allowing you to inspect teuthology state. That prompt is rarely useful, but because teuthology stops at that point, you can ssh and safely poke around on the nodes.

...

c) Using interactive_on_error or interactive-on-error: Throws " No module named 'tasks.interactive_on_error' " [5][6]

interactive-on-error is not a task. It's a key, like email or verbose. If set, teuthology will go interactive if a task exits with error, allowing you to poke around before the task stack is unwound. Again, teuthology must be run manually for it to work.

Thanks Ilya, I will try running teuthology manually and check it.

...

Please let me know if I have used them correctly.
