Network Tests
|
||||
=============
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ ANSIBLE_ROLES_PATH=targets ansible-playbook network-all.yaml
|
||||
|
||||
*NOTE* To run the network tests you will need a number of test machines and sutabily configured inventory file, a sample is included in `test/integration/inventory.network`
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To filter a set of test cases set `limit_to` to the name of the group, generally this is the name of the module:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ ANSIBLE_ROLES_PATH=targets ansible-playbook -i inventory.network all.yaml -e "limit_to=eos_command"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To filter a singular test case set the tags options to eapi or cli, set limit_to to the test group,
|
||||
and test_cases to the name of the test:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ ANSIBLE_ROLES_PATH=targets ansible-playbook -i inventory.network network-all.yaml --tags="cli" -e "limit_to=eos_command test_case=notequal"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Contributing Test Cases
|
||||
|
||||
Test cases are added to roles based on the module being testing. Test cases
|
||||
should include both `cli` and `eapi` test cases. Cli test cases should be
|
||||
added to `targets/modulename/tests/cli` and eapi tests should be added to
|
||||
`targets/modulename/tests/eapi`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Conventions
|
||||
|
||||
- Each test case should generally follow the pattern:
|
||||
|
||||
>setup —> test —> assert —> test again (idempotent) —> assert —> -teardown (if needed) -> done
|
||||
|
||||
This keeps test playbooks from becoming monolithic and difficult to
|
||||
troubleshoot.
|
||||
|
||||
- Include a name for each task that is not an assertion. (It's OK to add names
|
||||
to assertions too. But to make it easy to identify the broken task within a failed
|
||||
test, at least provide a helpful name for each task.)
|
||||
|
||||
- Files containing test cases must end in `.yaml`
