Creating unit tests
For every new feature, unit tests should be created that both test and (implicitly) document the usage of said features. If submitting a patch for a bug that had no unit test, a new passing unit test should be added. If a submitted bug fix does have a unit test, be sure to add a new one that fails without the patch and passes with the patch.
For more information on creating unit tests and utilizing the testing infrastructure in OpenStack Heat, please read heat/tests/testing-overview.txt.
Running tests
The testing system is based on a combination of tox and stestr. The
canonical approach to running tests is to simply run the command
tox
. This will create virtual environments, populate them
with dependencies and run all of the tests that OpenStack CI systems
run. Behind the scenes, tox is running stestr run
, but is
set up such that you can supply any additional stestr arguments that are
needed to tox. For example, you can run:
tox -- --analyze-isolation
to cause tox to tell stestr to
add --analyze-isolation
to its argument list.
It is also possible to run the tests inside of a virtual environment
you have created, or it is possible that you have all of the
dependencies installed locally already. In this case, you can interact
with the stestr
command directly. Running
stestr run
will run the entire test suite in as many
threads as you have CPU cores (this is the default incantation tox
uses), number of threads can be adjusted with
--concurrency N
argument. testr run --serial
will run tests in serial process. More information about stestr can be
found at: http://stestr.readthedocs.io
Note that unit tests use a database if available. See
tools/test-setup.sh
on how to set up the databases the same
way as done in the OpenStack CI systems.
