Installation Setup Guide

Robot Framework Install Instruction
Miscelleneous Packages required to be installed for OpenBmc Automation. Install the packages and it's dependencies via pip
REST base packages:
```
$ pip install -U requests
$ pip install -U robotframework-requests
```
SSH and SCP base packages: For more detailed installation instructions see robotframework-sshlibrary
```
$ pip install robotframework-sshlibrary
$ pip install robotframework-scplibrary
```

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.

extended/: Contains test cases for boot testing, network testing, code update, RAS (Reliability, availability and serviceability) testing, etc.

systest/: Contains test cases for HTX bootme.

xcat/: Contains test cases for XCAT automation.

tools/: Contains various tools.

templates/: Contains sample code examples and setup testing. `

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

Tox Command Line

Install the python dependencies for tox

    $ easy_install tox
    $ easy_install pip

Initialize the following environment variable 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/Barreleye.py, ./data/Palmetto.py, etc]
    $ export IPMI_COMMAND=<Dbus/External>
    $ export IPMI_PASSWORD=<External IPMI password>


    Use following parameters for PDU:
    $ export PDU_IP=<PDU IP address>
    $ export PDU_USERNAME=<PDU username>
    $ export PDU_PASSWORD=<PDU password>
    $ export PDU_TYPE=<PDU type>
    $ export PDU_SLOT_NO=<SLOT number>

    for PDU_TYPE we support only synaccess at the moment

Use the following variables for Qemu test run
==========================================================
    $ export SSH_PORT=<ssh port number>
    $ export HTTPS_PORT=<https port number>

Use the following variables for BIOS update testing
==========================================================
    $ export PNOR_IMAGE_PATH=<path to>/<machine>.pnor

Run tests

    $ tox -e tests

How to test individual test

    One specific test
    $ tox -e default -- -t '"DIMM0 no fault"' tests/test_sensors.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 one test suite
    $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e barreleye -- -t '"DIMM0 no fault"' tests/test_sensors.robot

    No preset environment variables, one test suite  for a palmetto system
    $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e palmetto -- tests/test_sensors.robot

    No preset environment variables, the entire test suite for a barreleye system
    $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e barreleye -- tests

    Default CI test bucket list:
    No preset environment variables, the entire test suite excluding test
    cases using argument file.
    $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e barreleye -- --argumentfile test_lists/skip_test tests

    Exclude test list for supported systems:
    Barrleye:  test_lists/skip_test_barreleye
    Palmetto:  test_lists/skip_test_palmetto
    Witherspoon:  test_lists/skip_test_witherspoon

It can also be run by passing variables from the cli...

    Run one test suite using using pybot
    $  pybot -v OPENBMC_HOST:<ip> -v OPENBMC_USERNAME:root -v OPENBMC_PASSWORD:0penBmc -v OPENBMC_MODEL:<model path> tests/test_time.robot

    Run entire test suite using using pybot
    $  pybot -v OPENBMC_HOST:<ip> -v OPENBMC_USERNAME:root -v OPENBMC_PASSWORD:0penBmc -v OPENBMC_MODEL:<model path> tests

    Run entire test suite using external ipmitool
    $  pybot -v OPENBMC_HOST:<ip> -v OPENBMC_USERNAME:root -v OPENBMC_PASSWORD:0penBmc -v IPMI_COMMAND:External -v IPMI_PASSWORD:PASSW0RD -v OPENBMC_MODEL:<model path> tests

Run extended tests

    Set the preset environment variables, run test suite for a barreleye system
    $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e barreleye -- extended/test_power_restore.robot

    Similarly for Network, PDU and update BIOS

    For BMC code update, download the system type *.all.tar image from https://openpower.xyz
    and run as follows:

    For Barreleye system
    python -m robot -v OPENBMC_HOST:x.x.x.x -v FILE_PATH:downloaded_path/barreleye-xxxx.all.tar  extended/code_update/update_bmc.robot

    For loop test (Default iteration is 10)
    python -m 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
    Below is sample command using tox to test only fw version using Barreleye system for 5 times
    OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x  LOOP_TEST_COMMAND="--argumentfile test_lists/skip_test tests/test_fw_version.robot" ITERATION=5  OPENBMC_SYSTEMMODEL=barreleye tox -e barreleye -- ./extended/full_suite_regression.robot

Jenkins jobs tox commands

    HW CI tox command
    Set the preset environment variables, run HW CI test for a barreleye system
    $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e barreleye -- --argumentfile test_lists/HW_CI tests

Template to be used to create new stand-alone python programs.


If you wish to create a new python stand-alone program, please copy bin/python_pgm_template to your new name and then begin your work.  Example:

cd bin
cp python_pgm_template my_new_program

This template has much of your preliminary work done for you and it will help us all follow a similar structure.

Features:
- Help text and argparsing started for you.
- Support for "stock" parameters like quiet, debug, test_mode.
- exit_function and signal_handler defined.
- validate_parms function pre-created.
- main function follows conventional startup:

    if not gen_get_options(parser, stock_list):
        return False

    if not validate_parms():
        return False

    qprint_pgm_header()
