Miscellaneous Packages required to be installed for OpenBmc Automation. Install the packages and it's dependencies via pip
If using Python 3.x, use the corresponding pip3 to install packages. Note: Older Python 2.x is not actively supported.
REST base packages:
$ pip install -U requests
$ pip install -U robotframework-requests
$ pip install -U robotframework-httplibrary
Python redfish library packages: For more detailed intstructions see python-redfish-library
$ pip install redfish
SSH and SCP base packages: For more detailed installation instructions see robotframework-sshlibrary
$ pip install robotframework-sshlibrary

Installing requirement dependencies:
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
you'll find this file once your clone openbmc-test-automation repository.
Installing tox:
$ pip install -U tox
Installing expect:
$ sudo apt-get install expect (Ubuntu example)
These documents contain details on developing OpenBMC test code and debugging.
OpenBMC test infrastructure is proven capable of running on:
To verify the installation setup is completed and ready to execute.
$ git clone https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc-test-automation $ cd openbmc-test-automation
$ robot -v OPENBMC_HOST:xx.xx.xx.xx templates/test_openbmc_setup.robotwhere xx.xx.xx.xx is the BMC hostname or IP.
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 using legacy REST, etc.
systest/: Contains test cases for HTX bootme testing.
xcat/: Contains test cases for XCAT automation.
gui/: Contains test cases for testing web-based interface built on AngularJS.
gui/gui_test/: Contains test cases for testing web-based user interface built on Vue.js.
pldm/: Contains test cases for platform management subsystem (base, bios, fru, platform, OEM).
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.).
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.
Note: Work in progress test development parameter -v REDFISH_SUPPORT_TRANS_STATE:1 to force the test suites to execute in redfish mode only.
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 redfish/extended/test_basic_ci.robot
Initialize the following test variables which will be used during test execution:
User can forward declare as environment variables:
$ export OPENBMC_HOST=<openbmc machine IP address/hostname> $ export OPENBMC_USERNAME=<openbmc username> $ export OPENBMC_PASSWORD=<openbmc password> $ export IPMI_COMMAND=<Dbus/External>
or
User can input as robot variables as part of the CLI command:
-v OPENBMC_HOST:<openbmc machine IP address/hostname> -v OPENBMC_USERNAME:<openbmc username> -v OPENBMC_PASSWORD:<openbmc 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
Host CPU architecture
By default openbmc-test-automation framework assumes that host CPU is based on the POWER architecture. If your host CPU is x86 add -v PLATFORM_ARCH_TYPE:x86 variable setting to your CLI commands or set an environment variable:
$ export PLATFORM_ARCH_TYPE=x86
Jenkins jobs tox commands
$ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e default -- --argumentfile test_lists/HW_CI tests
