This is designed to be enough information for you to run your first tests on an Ubuntu 20.04 (or later) host.
Install pip:
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
More information on pip here: http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/
Use pip to install nox:
pip install nox
A running zookeeper is required to execute tests, but it also needs to be configured for TLS and a certificate authority set up to handle socket authentication. Because of these complexities, it's recommended to use a helper script to set up these dependencies, as well as a database servers:
sudo apt-get install docker-compose # or podman-compose if preferred ROOTCMD=sudo tools/test-setup-docker.sh
Note
Installing and bulding javascript is not required, but tests that depend on the javascript assets having been built will be skipped if you don't.
Install javascript tools:
tools/install-js-tools.sh
Install javascript dependencies:
pushd web yarn install popd
Build javascript assets:
pushd web yarn build popd
Navigate to the project's root directory and execute:
nox
Note: completing this command may take a long time (depends on system resources) also, you might not see any output until nox is complete.
Information about nox can be found here: https://nox.thea.codes/en/stable/
Nox will run your entire test suite in the sessions specified in the project noxfile.py:
nox.options.sessions = ["tests-3", "linters"]
To run the test suite in just one of the environments in envlist execute:
nox -s <env>
so for example, run the test suite in your default Python interpreter:
nox -s tests
or specifically with Python 3.12:
nox -s tests --force-python 3.12
To run individual tests with nox:
nox -s <env> -- path.to.module.Class.test
For example, to run a single Zuul test:
nox -s tests --force-python 3.12 -- tests.unit.test_scheduler.TestScheduler.test_jobs_executed
To run one test in the foreground (after previously having run nox to set up the virtualenv):
.nox/tests/bin/stestr run tests.unit.test_scheduler.TestScheduler.test_jobs_executed
.nox/tests/bin/activate stestr failing --list
The following will run each test in turn and print the name of the test as it is run:
. .nox/tests/bin/activate stestr run
You can compare the output of that to:
python -m testtools.run discover --list
