This repository contains the test framework and test cases for verifying StarlingX. The test framework provides tools for configuration, automation, and execution of tests, with the ability to run against diverse StarlingX lab environments.

Pre-Requisites

To use this repository, ensure the following requirements are met:

Operating System:
- Ubuntu 22.04 or later.
Network Requirements:
- The RunAgent (test execution machine) must:
  - Have internet access for pulling images and dependencies.
  - Be able to connect to your StarlingX system(s) via SSH.

Required Tools: Install the following tools:

# Python 3.11
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y python3.11 python3-pip

# pipenv
pip install --user pipenv

Setup and Installation

Clone the Repository:

git clone https://opendev.org/starlingx/test.git
cd test

Setup Gerrit for Code Review: The procedure to set up Gerrit for StarlingX is the same as for other projects hosted on OpenDev, such as OpenStack. Refer to the OpenStack Contributor Guide for detailed instructions.
- Key Setup and Repository Configuration:
```
# Generate an SSH key (recommended: ED25519; RSA is also supported)
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "<your email address>"
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519

# Alternatively, generate an RSA key for compatibility with older systems:
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "<your email address>"
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa
```
  - Add your SSH key to Gerrit:
    - Navigate to https://review.opendev.org/settings/#SSHKeys.
    - Copy the contents of your public key file (~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub or ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub).
    - Paste the key into the SSH key field on the Gerrit settings page.
- Sign the Individual Contributor License Agreement (ICLA): Projects hosted on OpenDev, including StarlingX, require signing the OpenStack Individual Contributor License Agreement (ICLA). This step is outlined in the OpenStack Contributor Guide and the OpenDev Developer Documentation. Follow these instructions to complete the process before submitting changes.
- Fetch Gerrit Hooks: Fetch Gerrit hooks immediately after cloning to enable automatic Change-Id generation during commits and verify your SSH key setup:
```
git review -s
```
  Example output:
```
Creating a git remote called 'gerrit' that maps to:
        ssh://<open-review-email-or-username>@review.opendev.org:29418/starlingx/test.git
```
  If there is an issue with your SSH configuration (e.g., missing or incorrect SSH key), you will see an error message indicating the problem, such as "Permission denied (publickey)".
  - (Optional) If you cloned the repository using HTTPS or need Gerrit hooks:
    - Add a Gerrit remote (only needed if the default remote does not point to Gerrit).
      git remote add gerrit ssh://<your-gerrit-username>@review.opendev.org/starlingx/test.git

Install Python Dependencies:

# Create and activate a virtual environment
pipenv shell

# Sync project dependencies
pipenv sync

Install Pre-Commit Hooks:

Pre-commit hooks are used to enforce code formatting, linting, and unit testing before code is committed or pushed for review.

# Install hooks for commit-time (linting, formatting) and push-time (unit test enforcement)
pre-commit install --hook-type pre-commit
pre-commit install --hook-type pre-push

Configuration

The framework relies on configuration files found under the config directory. These include settings for labs, Docker, Kubernetes, and logging. Default files are provided, but you can customize configurations using CLI options.

Steps to Configure

Lab Configuration (`config/lab/files/default.json5`):
- Holds lab details such as floating IPs, type, and capabilities.
- For custom setups:
  - Use a template file (e.g., template_simplex.json5) as a base.
  - Update use_jump_host and jump_server_config if a jump server is used.
Docker Configuration (`config/docker/files/default.json5`):
- Specify credentials for Docker registries used during testing.

Lab Capability Scanner:

Automatically detect and update lab capabilities:

python scripts/lab_capability_scanner.py --lab_config_file=<lab_config_file>

You are now ready to execute tests!

Running Tests

Basic Example: Run a specific test case:

python framework/runner/scripts/test_executor.py --tests_location=<testcase_location>

Custom Configurations: Use non-default configurations:

python framework/runner/scripts/test_executor.py \
  --tests_location=<testcase_location> \
  --lab_config_file=<config_location>

Example:

python framework/runner/scripts/test_executor.py \
  --tests_location=testcases/cloud_platform/sanity \
  --lab_config_file=config/lab/files/custom_config.json5

UI Testing (Optional): Install Chrome for running WebDriver-based UI tests:

wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo apt -f install
google-chrome --version

Contribution

Coding Standards:
