When assembling an ISO image multiple things can go wrong badly and -publishing a faulty ISO makes no sense. The user is disappointed by the quality -of the image and the developers get flodded with bug reports over and over -again. - -As the VyOS documentation is not only for users but also for the developers - -and we keep no secret documentation - this section describes how the automated -testing works. - -## Jenkins CI - -Our [VyOS CI]() system is based on Jenkins and builds all our required packages -for VyOS 1.2 to 1.4. In addition to the package build, there is the vyos-build -Job which builds and tests the VyOS ISO image which is published after a -successful test drive. - -We differentiate in two independent tests, which are both run in parallel by -two separate QEmu instances which are launched via `make test` and `make testc` from within the [vyos-build]() repository. - -## Smoketests - -Smoketests executes predefined VyOS CLI commands and checks if the desired -daemon/service configuration is rendert - that is how to put it "short". - -When and ISO image is assembled by the [VyOS CI](), the `BUILD_SMOKETEST` -parameter is enabled by default, which will extend the ISO configuration line -with the following packages: - -``` python -def CUSTOM_PACKAGES = '' - if (params.BUILD_SMOKETESTS) - CUSTOM_PACKAGES = '--custom-package vyos-1x-smoketest' -``` - -So if you plan to build your own custom ISO image and want to make use of our -smoketests, ensure that you have the <span class="title-ref">vyos-1x-smoketest</span> package installed. - -The `make test` command from the [vyos-build]() repository will launch a new -QEmu instance and the ISO image is first installed to the virtual harddisk. - -After its first boot into the newly installed system the main Smoketest script -is executed, it can be found here: <span class="title-ref">/usr/bin/vyos-smoketest</span> - -The script only searches for executable "test-cases" under -`/usr/libexec/vyos/tests/smoke/cli/` and executes them one by one. - -<div class="note"> - -<div class="title"> - -Note - -</div> - -As Smoketests will alter the system configuration and you are logged -in remote you may loose your connection to the system. - -</div> - -### Manual Smoketest Run - -On the other hand - as each test is contain in its own file - one can always -execute a single Smoketest by hand by simply running the Python test scripts. - -Example: - -``` none -vyos@vyos:~$ /usr/libexec/vyos/tests/smoke/cli/test_protocols_bgp.py -test_bgp_01_simple (__main__.TestProtocolsBGP) ... ok -test_bgp_02_neighbors (__main__.TestProtocolsBGP) ... ok -test_bgp_03_peer_groups (__main__.TestProtocolsBGP) ... ok -test_bgp_04_afi_ipv4 (__main__.TestProtocolsBGP) ... ok -test_bgp_05_afi_ipv6 (__main__.TestProtocolsBGP) ... ok -test_bgp_06_listen_range (__main__.TestProtocolsBGP) ... ok -test_bgp_07_l2vpn_evpn (__main__.TestProtocolsBGP) ... ok -test_bgp_08_zebra_route_map (__main__.TestProtocolsBGP) ... ok -test_bgp_09_distance_and_flowspec (__main__.TestProtocolsBGP) ... ok -test_bgp_10_vrf_simple (__main__.TestProtocolsBGP) ... ok -test_bgp_11_confederation (__main__.TestProtocolsBGP) ... ok -test_bgp_12_v6_link_local (__main__.TestProtocolsBGP) ... ok -test_bgp_13_solo (__main__.TestProtocolsBGP) ... ok - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -Ran 13 tests in 348.191s - -OK -``` - -### Interface based tests - -Our smoketests not only test daemons and serives, but also check if what we -configure for an interface works. Thus there is a common base classed named: -`base_interfaces_test.py` which holds all the common code that an interface -supports and is tested. - -Those common tests consists out of: - -- Add one or more IP addresses -- DHCP client and DHCPv6 prefix delegation -- MTU size -- IP and IPv6 options -- Port description -- Port disable -- VLANs (QinQ and regular 802.1q) -- ... - -<div class="note"> - -<div class="title"> - -Note - -</div> - -When you are working on interface configuration and you also want to -test if the Smoketests pass you would normally loose the remote SSH connection -to your `DUT (Device Under Test)`.
