# STEPS TO START DEVELOPING TESTS LOCALLY
 - install virtualenv
 - generate environment using virtualenv:
    # cd $ROOT
    # virtualenv env
    # source env/bin/activate
 - install python requirements for this project by executing:
    # pip install -r requirements.txt
 - make sure user mentioned in topology.py has NOPASSWD sudo access to
    vpp_api_test

Note:
You can alternatively create the virtualenv with the flag --system-site-packages
It give access to the global site-packages dir to the virtual environment, which
is faster, but you may end up with some conflicts.


 Done.

# STEPS TO START THE TESTS
export PYTHONPATH=.

# create topology, edit ip addresses
cp topologies/available/3_node_hw_topo1.yaml.example topologies/available/topology.yaml
ln -s ../available/topology.yaml topologies/enabled/topology.yaml

pybot -L TRACE -v TOPOLOGY_PATH:topologies/enabled/topology.yaml tests
 or
./main.py -t topologies/enabled/topology.yaml -i test_tag
 or
./main.py
