Description

@reubenmiller

Is your refactoring request related to a problem? Please describe.

The system test setup logic can be improved to make it easier for users to setup a where a test is run against.

Below are some of the problems with the current setup

  • bootstrap.sh arguments can't be customized when setting up a test

    There are 82 instances which call the ./bootstrap.sh script directly, below is one example

    Setup    skip_bootstrap=True
    Execute Command    ./bootstrap.sh --no-bootstrap --no-connect
    
  • Can't control the device certificate type easily (e.g. self-signed certificate, Cumulocity CA, Local CA etc.)

Describe the solution you'd like

  • Remove the configuration/connection related logic from the bootstrap.sh so that the bootstrap.sh is only responsible for installing the artifacts, and setting up the OS (not actually configuring thin-edge.io and connecting to Cumulocity)

  • Move thin-edge.io configuration and mapper configuration to the python level, where users can control whether thin-edge.io should be configured or not via arguments provided to the "Setup" keyword

Describe alternatives you've considered
