This repository is dedicated to host any tests written using the Avocado[1] API. It is being initially populated with tests ported from autotest client tests repository, but it's not limited by that.
Once you have the avocado installed, you can run the tests like below:
$ avocado run avocado-misc-tests/perf/stress.py JOB ID : 0018adbc07c5d90d242dd6b341c87972b8f77a0b JOB LOG : $HOME/avocado/job-results/job-2016-01-18T15.32-0018adb/job.log TESTS : 1 (1/1) avocado-misc-tests/perf/stress.py:Stress.test: PASS (62.67 s) RESULTS : PASS 1 | ERROR 0 | FAIL 0 | SKIP 0 | WARN 0 | INTERRUPT 0 JOB HTML : $HOME/avocado/job-results/job-2016-01-18T15.32-0018adb/html/results.html TIME : 62.67 s
To run test that requires paramters, you'll need to populated the provided YAML
files in the corresponding *.py.data directory. In each directory, there
should be a README explaining what each parameter cooresponds to. Once you have
the YAML file populated you can run the test like below:
# avocado run avocado-misc-tests/io/common/bootlist_test.py -m avocado-misc-tests/io/common/bootlist_test.py.data/bootlist_test_network.yaml JOB ID : bd3c103f1b2fff2d35b507f83a03d1ace4a008c5 JOB LOG : /root/avocado-fvt-wrapper/results/job-2021-04-15T14.33-bd3c103/job.log (1/3) avocado-misc-tests/io/common/bootlist_test.py:BootlisTest.test_normal_mode;run-8e25: PASS (0.99 s) (2/3) avocado-misc-tests/io/common/bootlist_test.py:BootlisTest.test_service_mode;run-8e25: PASS (0.69 s) (3/3) avocado-misc-tests/io/common/bootlist_test.py:BootlisTest.test_both_mode;run-8e25: PASS (1.36 s) RESULTS : PASS 3 | ERROR 0 | FAIL 0 | SKIP 0 | WARN 0 | INTERRUPT 0 | CANCEL 0 JOB HTML : /root/avocado-fvt-wrapper/results/job-2021-04-15T14.33-bd3c103/results.html JOB TIME : 13.43 s
Tests are be organized per category basis, each category with its own directory. Additionally, the tests are categorized by the use of the following tags[2] by functional area:
- cpu - Exercises a system's CPU
- net - Exercises a system's network devices or networking stack
- storage - Exercises a system's local storage
- fs - Exercises a system's file system
Tags by architecture:
- x86_64 - Requires a x86_64 architecture
- power - Requires a Power architecture
Tags by access privileges:
- privileged - requires the test to be run with the most privileged, unrestricted privileges. For Linux systems, this usually means the root account
Note* * --test-runner runner need to passed as avocado run command line as it default lagacy runner as most of the test in avocado misc test wrote in way to execute sequential manner so newer avocado (aka avocado 91 onwards we need to pass this option explicitly as implicit it uses nrunner) exmaple can be like
# avocado run --test-runner runner avocado-misc-tests/perf/stress.py JOB ID : 0018adbc07c5d90d242dd6b341c87972b8f77a0b JOB LOG : $HOME/avocado/job-results/job-2021-11-12T10.32-001adw/job.log TESTS : 1 (1/1) avocado-misc-tests/perf/stress.py:Stress.test: PASS (62.67 s) RESULTS : PASS 1 | ERROR 0 | FAIL 0 | SKIP 0 | WARN 0 | INTERRUPT 0 JOB HTML : $HOME/avocado/job-results/job--2021-11-12T10.32-001adw//html/results.html TIME : 69.67 s
