e2e: speed up test execution

Open askervin opened this issue 1 month ago • 2 comments

Do not use proxy plugin if not needed. Skips repeating long "Configuring ...." steps.
Use synchronize instead of copy for helm charts. Runs single rsync instead of multiple scp transfers.
Use ssh connection multiplexing in case of using .ssh-config, too.

Marked ready-for-review after successful validation that this works in environments strictly behind proxies and without any proxies.

If a vagrant vm is already running after previous tests, these changes speed-up the test start up time: from launching "run_tests.sh" until finishing "TASK [copy helm charts]":

without patches: 37 seconds
with patches: 4.8 seconds
