Have Terraform run the target-specific `provision.sh`/`provision.ps1` script
rather than the test runner code which needs to be customized for each
distro. Use Terraform's detection of variable value changes so that we can
re-run the provisioning without having to re-install Nomad on those specific
hosts that need it changed.
Allow the configuration "profile" (well-known directory) to be set by a
Terraform variable. The default configurations are installed during Packer
build time, and symlinked into the live configuration directory by the
provision script. Detect changes in the file contents so that we only upload
custom configuration files that have changed between Terraform runs
Just a smattering of attempted improvements as I read through this
again. Some of my goals:
- Tried to add more high level info to the intro to set the context
- Clarify the difference between *test* dev and *agent* dev workflows
- Add -timeout to provisioning step because cable Internet is lol
This changeset improves the ergonomics of running the Nomad e2e test
provisioning process by defaulting to a blank `nomad_sha` in the
Terraform configuration. By default, a user will now need to pass in
one of the Nomad version flags. But they won't have to manually edit
the `provisioning.json` file for the common case of deploying a
released version of Nomad, and won't need to put dummy values for
`nomad_sha`.
Includes general documentation improvements.
This change allows for providing the -suite=<Name> flag when
running the e2e framework. If set, only the matching e2e/Framework.TestSuite.Component
will be run, and all ther suites will be skipped.
