beaker-vcloud

Beaker library to use vcloud hypervisor

Legacy VMPooler Fallback

In previous versions of this hypervisor, a shim was added to ease internal transition to a new hypervisor called vmpooler. This shim would automatically and silently promote hosts with hypervisor: vcloud to use the beaker-vmpooler hypervisor if certain conditions were met: the hosts file contained a CONFIG[:pooling_api] and not the otherwise required :datacenter. This fallback behavior is no longer supported; if applicable, you will see a warning message with upgrade instructions.

How to use this wizardry

This is a gem that allows you to use hosts of vcloud hypervisor with beaker.

Beaker will automatically load the appropriate hypervisors for any given hosts file, so as long as your project dependencies are satisfied there's nothing else to do. No need to require this library in your tests.

With Beaker 3.x

This library is included as a dependency of Beaker 3.x versions, so there's nothing to do.

With Beaker 4.x

As of Beaker 4.0, all hypervisor and DSL extension libraries have been removed and are no longer dependencies. In order to use a specific hypervisor or DSL extension library in your project, you will need to include them alongside Beaker in your Gemfile or project.gemspec. E.g.

# Gemfile
gem 'beaker', '~>4.0'
gem 'beaker-vcloud'
# project.gemspec
s.add_runtime_dependency 'beaker', '~>4.0'
s.add_runtime_dependency 'beaker-vcloud'
