This short report brings to light some interesting commits to scylla-cluster-tests.git master from the last 3 weeks. Commits in the 6554c1a7…6b878721 range are covered.
There were 70 non-merge commits from 15 authors in that period. Some notable commits:
The test_tester suite was rewritten to use pytester, improving isolation by running in a separate process, simplifying markers, and surfacing failing tests more clearly while removing the custom make_report hook.
Manager test updates:
- Monitor version bumped to 4.11 to align with the latest release.
- Debian tests switched to Debian 12; related Jenkinsfiles/YAMLs were renamed and python-setuptools was replaced with python3-setuptools.
- Manager 3.6.0 set as the default version across tests and pipelines.
Stress logs now include timestamps in both filenames and entries, enabling easier correlation with other logs and distinguishing parallel stress runs.
README has been enhanced with guidance for running SCT locally with Docker (disabling Argus, logs directory, Docker backend limitations).
Added native/rclone backup benchmarking under read/write stress, measuring S3 backup duration and stress latencies.
Dependency and tooling updates:
- actions/checkout updated to v5
- scylla-driver bumped to v3.29.4
- Python updated to 3.13
- docker.io/scylladb/ycsb tag updated to v0.2.0
See you in the next issue of last week in scylla-cluster-tests.git master!
