Look at the '--suite' options. You can tell teuthology to use a modified local directory for '/qa' On Tue, Apr 21, 2020 at 1:49 AM Rishabh Dave <ridave@redhat.com> wrote:

Hi all,

I am testing my "multifs auth caps" PR[1] with teuthology. The issue is that just to discover mistakes in my patch for files like kernel_mount.py[2], mount.py[3], and fuse_mount.py[4], I need to push the branch on ceph-ci, wait several hours for the build process to complete, trigger the teuthology tests and again wait for them to be executed and repeat all these steps again until all the issues in my patch are fixed.

Since [2][3][4] are Python programs, they don't play any role in the build process AFAIK. If that's absolutely true, is there a way to circumvent the "waiting for build process to complete" part and trigger the tests directly using the binaries from previous build? This would save several hours for me and also take the boredom out of testing these changes. If previous build are wiped out on updating my copy of PR branch on ceph-ci, I can maintain two branches on ceph-ci too: one for builds and other for Python changes.

I did run my tests with vstart_runner.py locally to reduce my number of round trips to pulpito.ceph.com but the changes in [2][3][4] don't get tested with vstart_runner.py since vstart_runner.py uses its own classes for handling CephFS mounts.

Thanks, - Rishabh
