system tests don't work on OpenShift

[jstrachan]

this is a rather complex problem. Right now when using OpenShift mode, we use S2I binary builds which use ImageStreams.

The problem is we can't refer to an image stream created in one namespace from another namespace. So we can't use CD Pipelines with kubernetesApply() or use mvn fabric8:deploy for a different namespace or use fabric8-arquillian system testing with image streams until we figure out some way to:

• move images to different ImageStreams / images in other namespaces
• update the DeploymentConfig / ReplicationController resources in each namespace to refer to the updated location of the image

One approach could be to just not use ImageStreams and stick with regular docker images which are labelled using the CD release number as we do for kubernetes.

Any ideas?

incidentally they now mostly work on OpenShift in kubernetes mode; they just don't yet work for the new S2I binary builder and ImageStreams (i.e. openshift or auto mode)
