**Marconi - Queue and Notification service for OpenStack**
Marconi
=======
*Steps to run Marconi server locally with MongoDB*
Message queuing service for OpenStack
1. `Install mongodb`_ locally
2. Start your local MongoDB instance::
Running a local Marconi server with MongoDB
-------------------------------------------
mongod
1. `Install MongoDB`_
2. Start a MongoDB instance::
mongod
3. Clone the Marconi repo::
git clone https://github.com/stackforge/marconi.git
git clone https://github.com/stackforge/marconi.git
4. cd to your local copy of the repo
5. Copy the Marconi config files to the directory ~/.marconi::
5. Copy the Marconi config files to the directory **~/.marconi**::
cp -r marconi/etc/*.conf-sample ~/.marconi
6. Update the [drivers:storage:mongodb] section in ~/.marconi/marconi.conf
cp -r marconi/etc/*.conf-sample ~/.marconi
6a. Comment out the uri pointing to replicaset::
6. Find the ``[drivers:storage:mongodb]`` section in **~/.marconi/marconi.conf** and modify the URI to point to your local mongod instance::
;uri = mongodb://db1.example.net,db2.example.net:2500/?replicaSet=test&ssl=true&w=majority
6b. Add a new line with uri pointing to the local mongoDB instance::
uri = mongodb://localhost
uri = mongodb://localhost
7. Run the following command::
7. Run the following so you can see the results of any changes you make to the code, without having to reinstall the package each time::
python setup.py develop
python setup.py develop
8. Start the marconi server::

**Marconi System Tests**
Marconi System Tests
====================
The System tests treat Marconi as a black box.
The API calls are made similar to how an user would make them.
Unlike unit tests, the system tests do not use mock endpoints.
Marconi's system tests treat Marconi as a black box. In other
words, the API calls attempt to simulate an actual user. For
example, unlike unit tests, the system tests do not use mock
endpoints.
**Running the System Tests**
1. Setup the Marconi server, to run the tests against.
Refer to the Marconi `README`_ on how to run Marconi locally.
(If you are running the tests against an existing server, skip this step.)
Running the System Tests
------------------------
2. System tests require the `requests`_ & `robot`_ packages. Run the following to install them ::
#. Setup a Marconi server. Refer to the Marconi `README`_ on
how to run Marconi locally, or simply use an existing server.
#. System tests require the `requests`_ & `robot`_ packages. Run
the following to install them: ::
pip install -r tools/system-test-requires
3. cd to the marconi/tests/system directory
#. cd to the marconi/tests/system directory
4. Copy etc/system-tests.conf-sample to one of the following locations::
#. Copy etc/system-tests.conf-sample to one of the following locations::
~/.marconi/system-tests.conf
/etc/marconi/system-tests.conf
5. Update the config file to point to the Marconi server you want to run the tests against
#. Update the config file to point to the Marconi server you want to run
the tests against
6. If keystone auth is enabled, update system-tests.conf with the credentials.
#. If leaving keystone auth enabled, update system-tests.conf with a
valid set of credentials.
7. To run tests use the pybot commands,
#. Now, to run the sytem tests, simply use the pybot commands, e.g.:
Run all test suites ::
Run all test suites: ::
pybot marconi/tests/system/queue/queue_tests.txt marconi/tests/system/messages/messages_tests.txt marconi/tests/system/claim/claim_tests.txt
pybot queue/queue_tests.txt messages/messages_tests.txt claim/claim_tests.txt
Run a specific test suite ::
Run test suites individually: ::
pybot marconi/tests/system/queue/queue_tests.txt
pybot queue/queue_tests.txt
pybot messages/messages_tests.txt
pybot claim/claim_tests.txt
pybot marconi/tests/system/messages/messages_tests.txt
pybot marconi/tests/system/claim/claim_tests.txt
pybot will generate report.html & log.html after the test run is complete.
Note: pybot will generate ``report.html`` & ``log.html`` after the
test run is complete.
**To Add new tests**
Adding New Tests
----------------
*See also the Robot* `user guide`_ *for more details on writing test cases.*
#. Add a test case definition to an appropriate robot test case file: ::
queue/queue_tests.txt
messages/messages_tests.txt
claim/claim_tests.txt).
#. Add test data to the test_data.csv in the same directory as the test case
file you updated above (eg. queue/test_data.csv)
#. Add any validation logic you might need, to the following utility modules:
* corresponing \*fnlib.py (e.g. queue/queuefnlib.py)
* common/functionlib.py (i.e., if the code can be used
across multiple test suites)
1. Add test case definition to the robot test case file (queue/queue_tests.txt, messages/messages_tests.txt, claim/claim_tests.txt)
See `here`_ for more details on writing test cases.
2. Add test data to the test_data.csv in the same directory as the test case file you updated above (eg. queue/test_data.csv)
3. Add any validation logic you might need, to one of the following:
* corresponing \*fnlib.py (eg. queue/queuefnlib.py)
* common/functionlib.py (If the code can be used across multiple test suites)
