We have several custom tests we use from our BB server to check
applications. In BB it was possible to add these into the /ext directory and
then call them from /etc/bb-bbexttab. Is there a provision for this type of
thing in Hobbit?
Set them up as tasks in hobbitlaunch.cfg .
NB: The environment variables provided by Hobbit to a script is not
quite the same as that which BB provides. Some BB extensions use
environment variables for some commands, e.g $GREP instead of grep.
Hobbit does not set this up by default, so you should check what
your scripts expect, and if necessary add the extra environment
variables to hobbitserver.cfg (or change the script).
Just wondering if there is a reason for this?
Personally, whenever writing ext scripts, I always made an effort to
call all the various utilities like sed/grep/etc as ${SED}/${GREP}/etc.
This, I figured saved everyone from editing the ext script for each
I would assume it would be owner's responsibility to make their script,
be it shell/perl or something else, as portable as possible. Assuming,
you rather depend on the environment for your script to work, switching
from BB environment to HOBBIT environment you get a lot more performance
and flexibility gain compare to the lose of enviroment variables.
Such a small loss for such a huge gain, you do the math. Now if you
still want your scripts to work just follow what Henrik said and add
those variables to hobbitserver.cfg file.
Thanks
platform they needed to run it on (assuming it is either being shared on
deadcat, or else being used across multiple OS's.... Even different
releases of linux use different paths.
It would seem a shame to need to make all these scripts *more*
specific...
PS, I haven't yet had a chance to install hobbit, so perhaps I am
missing something really obvious... It sounds great, and once it is
released, I'm sure I will install and use it.
Regards,
Adam
