Stop REST check moved last to improve performance

Changed to check for REST functionality last for better efficiency.
If a test has failed, and the test is to be stopped, it is a waste of time to
first check whether REST commands are working since the result will be the
same.

The same is true for esel_stop_check.

OpenBMC Test Development

These documents contain details on developing OpenBMC test code and debugging.

Testing Setup Steps

To verify the installation setup is completed and ready to execute.

  • Download the openbmc-test-automation repository:
    $ git clone https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc-test-automation
    $ cd openbmc-test-automation
    
  • Execute basic setup test run:
    $ robot -v OPENBMC_HOST:xx.xx.xx.xx templates/test_openbmc_setup.robot
    
    where xx.xx.xx.xx is the BMC hostname or IP.

Test Layout

There are several sub-directories within the openbmc-test-automation base which contain test suites, tools, templates, etc. These sub-directories are classified as follows:

tests/: Contains the general test cases for OpenBMC stack functional verification. The "tests" subdirectory uses legacy REST and will be deprecated at some point and therefore no longer supported.

extended/: Contains test cases for boot testing, code update testing, etc.

systest/: Contains test cases for HTX bootme testing.

xcat/: Contains test cases for XCAT automation.

gui/: Contains test cases for web UI and security scanning tool automation.

network/: Contains test cases for network testing. It covers IPv4 in static mode and in DHCP mode.

snmp/: Contains test cases for SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) configuration testing.

openpower/ras/: Contains test cases for RAS (Reliability, Availability and Serviceability) for an OpenPOWER system.

openpower/secureboot/: Contains test cases for secure boot testing on a secure boot feature enabled OpenPOWER system only.

tools/: Contains various tools.

templates/: Contains sample code examples and setup testing.

test_list/: Contains the argument files used for skipping test cases (e.g "skip_test", "skip_test_extended", etc.) or grouping them (e.g "HW_CI", "CT_basic_run", etc.).

Redfish Test Layout

OpenBMC is moving steadily towards DTMF Redfish, which is an open industry standard specification and schema that meets the expectations of end users for simple, modern and secure management of scalable platform hardware.

redfish: Contains test cases for DMTF Redfish-related feature supported on OpenBMC.

redfish/extended/: Contains test cases for combined legacy REST and DMTF Redfish-related feature supported on OpenBMC.

Quickstart

To run openbmc-automation first you need to install the prerequisite Python packages which will help to invoke tests through tox (Note that tox version 2.3.1 or greater is required) or via Robot CLI command.

Robot Command Line

  • Execute all test suites for tests/:

    $ robot -v OPENBMC_HOST:xx.xx.xx.xx  tests
    
  • Execute a test suite:

    $ robot -v OPENBMC_HOST:xx.xx.xx.xx  tests/test_basic_poweron.robot
    
  • Initialize the following environment variables which will be used during testing:

    $ export OPENBMC_HOST=<openbmc machine ip address>
    $ export OPENBMC_PASSWORD=<openbmc password>
    $ export OPENBMC_USERNAME=<openbmc username>
    $ export OPENBMC_MODEL=[./data/Witherspoon.py, ./data/Palmetto.py, etc]
    $ export IPMI_COMMAND=<Dbus/External>
    $ export IPMI_PASSWORD=<External IPMI password>
    
  • For QEMU tests, set the following environment variables as well:

    $ export SSH_PORT=<ssh port number>
    $ export HTTPS_PORT=<https port number>
    
  • Run tests:

    $ tox tests
    
  • How to run individual test:

    One specific test:

    $ tox -e default -- --include Power_On_Test  tests/test_basic_poweron.robot
    

    No preset environment variables, default configuration for all supported systems:

    $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e default -- tests
    

    No preset environment variables, one test case from a test suite:

    $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e default -- --include Power_On_Test tests/test_basic_poweron.robot
    

    No preset environment variables, the entire test suite:

    $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e default -- tests
    

    No preset environment variables, the entire test suite excluding test cases using argument file:

    $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e default -- --argumentfile test_lists/skip_test tests
    

    Exclude test list for supported systems:

    Palmetto:  test_lists/skip_test_palmetto
    Witherspoon:  test_lists/skip_test_witherspoon
    
  • Run IPMI tests:

    Running only out-of-band IPMI tests:

    $ robot -v IPMI_COMMAND:External -v OPENBMC_HOST:x.x.x.x --argumentfile test_lists/witherspoon/skip_inband_ipmi tests/ipmi/
    

    Running only inband IPMI tests:

    $ robot -v IPMI_COMMAND:Inband -v OPENBMC_HOST:x.x.x.x -v OS_HOST:x.x.x.x -v OS_USERNAME:xxxx -v OS_PASSWORD:xxxx --argumentfile test_lists/witherspoon/skip_oob_ipmi tests/ipmi/
    
  • Run GUI tests:

    By default, GUI runs with Firefox browser and headless mode. Example with chrome browser and header mode:

    $ robot -v OPENBMC_HOST:x.x.x.x -v GUI_BROWSER:gc -v GUI_MODE:header gui/test/
    

    Run GUI default CI test bucket:

    $ robot -v OPENBMC_HOST:x.x.x.x --argumentfile test_lists/BMC_WEB_CI gui/test/
    
  • Run LDAP tests:

    Before using LDAP test functions, be sure appropriate LDAP user(s) and group(s) have been created on your LDAP server. Note: There are multiple ways to create LDAP users / groups and all depend on your LDAP server. One common way for openldap is ldapadd / ldapmodify refer https://linux.die.net/man/1/ldapadd For ldapsearch, refer to "https://linux.die.net/man/1/ldapsearch". Microsoft ADS: refer to https://searchwindowsserver.techtarget.com/definition/Microsoft-Active-Directory-Domain-Services-AD-DS

    Note: Currently, LDAP test automation for Redfish API is in progress. The format to invoke LDAP test is as follows:

    $ cd redfish/account_service/
    $ robot -v OPENBMC_HOST:x.x.x.x -v LDAP_SERVER_URI:<ldap(s)//LDAP Hostname / IP> -v LDAP_BIND_DN:<LDAP Bind DN> -v LDAP_BASE_DN:<LDAP Base DN> -v LDAP_BIND_DN_PASSWORD:<LDAP Bind password> -v LDAP_SEARCH_SCOPE:<LDAP search scope> -v LDAP_SERVER_TYPE:<LDAP server type> -v LDAP_USER:<LDAP user-id> -v LDAP_USER_PASSWORD:<LDAP PASSWORD> -v GROUP_NAME:<Group Name> -v GROUP_PRIVILEGE:<Privilege>  ./test_ldap_configuration.robot
    
  • How to run CI and CT bucket test:

    Default CI test bucket list:

    $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e default -- --argumentfile test_lists/HW_CI tests
    

    Default CI smoke test bucket list:

    $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e default -- --argumentfile test_lists/CT_basic_run tests
    
  • Run extended tests:

    For-loop test (default iteration is 10):

    $ robot -v OPENBMC_HOST:x.x.x.x -v OPENBMC_SYSTEMMODEL:xxxxxx -v ITERATION:n -v LOOP_TEST_COMMAND:xxxxxx extended/full_suite_regression.robot
    

    Example using tox testing a test suite for 5 iterations "witherspoon":

    OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x  LOOP_TEST_COMMAND="tests/test_fw_version.robot" ITERATION=5 OPENBMC_SYSTEMMODEL=witherspoon tox -e witherspoon -- ./extended/full_suite_regression.robot
    

Jenkins jobs tox commands

  • HW CI tox command:
    $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e default -- --argumentfile test_lists/HW_CI tests
