Devstack：tempest.conf文件

Question

I am new to devstack and was trying to understand the way it works. I have one question regarding generation of tempest.conf file. I can not understand how this file gets generated and which part of the code generates it.

Is it always generated into /opt/stack/tempest/etc/ directory. What if I have a different folder structure and I want to generate my tempest.conf file in suppose /opt/stack/new/tempest/etc/ directory.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

First of all, Tempest framework in the OpenStack is works for openstack development. You can find it in github .

the tempest.conf file is the configuration file of Tempest, from the README.rst, you can know:

To start you need to create a configuration file. The easiest way to create a configuration file is to generate a sample in the etc/ directory

$ cd $TEMPEST_ROOT_DIR
$ oslo-config-generator --config-file \\ tempest/cmd/config-generator.tempest.conf \\ --output-file etc/tempest.conf

You can just modify the output file path in the --output-file param.
