Description
Currently we only test Python code + pip-installed requirements for a single stack of versions (defined in constraints.txt).
We have recently faced several issues due to different versions, so we would like to explore the idea of testing some of the tox-envs (pylint, pytest unittests) under a combination of Distros (Ubuntu, CentOS) and Releases (Ubuntu 16, 18, 20, CentOS 7, 8).
As part of this issue, we should explore the following alternatives:- Manually updating constraints-{distro}-{release}.txt for each of the distros-releases supported and using generative tox lists. However that requires manually updating the dependencies and wouldn't have helped in this case.
- Generating those constraints.txt files on the fly by fetching the package versions for every distro (via apt/yum/etc).
- Using docker images for every distro-release to run tox inside from site packages (instead of pip-installed ones).
Each approach has their pros-cons (need of manual updates, increased runtime/resources overhead, ...).
