Answering myself about Zuul CI, I was able to find some good information in Fedora Docs that helped: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Zuul-based-ci It describes how to contribute to zuul tests with custom jobs on specific projects, and the steps to attach zuul ci to a repo.

I also learned that Zuul CI has a set of predefined ansible roles: https://zuul-ci.org/docs/zuul-jobs/latest/general-roles.html, which are the ones here: https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/ci-cd/zuul/zuul-jobs/-/tree/master/r.... I still can't find the definition of some other roles, though (on the centos-stream repo, or even on the fedora ones).

It seems like the Fedora Docs could be used to expand the CentOS Stream one here https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/ci-cd/ci-cd-docs.

Hi All,

I've been trying to reproduce the centos tests locally. Thank to Aleksandra and arrfab for the help on IRC to understand the whole process conceptually.

I successfully ran https://github.com/CentOS/sig-core-t_functional on a clean centos stream 9 vm. The tests passed.

I'm running into issues trying to run individual playbooks against a clean centos stream 9 vm from the zuul-jobs and jobs repositories from here: https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/ci-cd/zuul

The errors I find are mainly related to dependencies, e.g., missing users, or packages, which makes me think there are steps I need to do before.

Is there any documentation for contributors about the zuul CI tests, to be able to test individual playbooks locally? If there is none, I could contribute with some in a Readme.md, but I would still need some basic guidance to get at least some of them working locally. Any help is appreciated.

Regards, Carlos.
