EXEC: Open OpenShift New Application Wizard: File -> New -> Other... -> OpenShift Application EXEC: Provide your access credentials EXEC: Check the cartridge list for zend-5.6 Result: You can still see the obsolete cartridge zend-5.6 (standalone-, web-cartridge) ASSERT: make sure that you have an application running on OpenShift EXEC: in OpenShift Explorer: pick "Edit Embeddable Cartridges..." from the context menu of your application ASSERT: the wizard to edit the embedded cartridges shows up and lists the available cartridges EXEC: check the list of available cartridges Result: You can still see the obsolete cartridge metrics-0.1 ps. it's especially important to verify that the tooling still works fine if it doesnt show the obsolete standalone- and embedded cartridges (application- and embedded cartridges wizards). To achieve this have a devenv, ssh to it (you need root access) and do the following: in ssh: edit /usr/libexec/openshift/cartridges/metrics/metadata/manifest.yml -> Obsolete: false service ruby193-mcollective restart oo-broker oo-admin-ctl-cartridge -c import-node --activate --obsolete EXEC: in Eclipse: create an application using the mock standalone cartridge and embed the metrics cartridge to it ASSERT: the application is created and shows up in the Explorer EXEC: in ssh: edit /usr/libexec/openshift/cartridges/metrics/metadata/manifest.yml -> Obsolete: true service ruby193-mcollective restart oo-broker oo-admin-ctl-cartridge -c import-node --activate --obsolete EXEC: in ssh: edit /usr/libexec/openshift/cartridges/mock/metadata/manifest.yml -> Obsolete: true service ruby193-mcollective restart oo-broker oo-admin-ctl-cartridge -c import-node --activate --obsolete EXEC: restart Eclipse (Eclipse caches the lists of available cartridges) EXEC: in Eclipse: the application still shows up in Explorer but: mock cartridge wont show up in the "Basic Cartridges" in application wizard (File->New->OpenShift->New Application) metrics cartridge wont show up in the embed cartridges wizard (Explorer: Edit Embedded Cartridges) and: you can still import the mock -cartridge (we obsoleted it in the steps above) application to your workspace you still have the metrics cartridge listed in the embedded cartridges
