[JIRA] (OVIRT-1786) Featue request: Pass env variables to the manual suite

[Barak Korren (oVirt JIRA)]

    [ https://ovirt-jira.atlassian.net/browse/OVIRT-1786?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=35449#comment-35449 ] 

Barak Korren commented on OVIRT-1786:
-------------------------------------

the lack of configurability is by design - so that all suits have exactly the same "API", and therefore we can easily use them in various places and no suit-specific knowledge is needed for running any suit.

I suggest you rethink your design so extra variables are not needed. Some options you can consider:
* Have the suit automatically test various different variable values internally (You can use the lago snapshot and restor features to to reset the system to a known state and re-test).
* Create multiple suites that share most code and predefine variable values (E.g. 'Big'/'Medium' and 'Small' suits).

> Hi,
> I need the ability to customize a running suite execution. I already do

> need an ability to create and pass that using the (great :) ) manual job.
> If you need more references just let me know
> Thanks
