Troubleshooting

First test takes so long time

It is expected behavior, because the first test run downloads all packages from Koji and creates a local repo. It is workaround because of missing composes for modules (on demand done by pungi). To make tests execute faster use environment variables:

• MTF_DO_NOT_CLEANUP=yes does not clean up module after tests execution (a machine remains running).
• MTF_REUSE=yes uses the same module between tests. It speeds up test execution. It can cause side effects.
• MTF_REMOTE_REPOS=yes disables downloading of Koji packages and creating a local repo, and speeds up test execution.
