Run an end-to-end test
This guide provides instructions on how to run an end-to-end test for testing a Fuchsia product.
This guide uses the Fuchsia emulator (FEMU) to
emulate a device that runs Fuchsia. As for the end-to-end test, the guide uses
the
screen_is_not_black
end-to-end test.
The screen_is_not_black end-to-end test reboots a device under test
(DUT), waits 100 seconds, and takes a snapshot of the device’s screen. If the
snapshot image is not a black screen, the test concludes that Fuchsia is
successfully up and running on the device after reboot.
To run this end-to-end test, the steps are:
- Prerequisites.
- Build a Fuchsia image to include the end-to-end test.
- Start the emulator with the Fuchsia image.
- Run the end-to-end test.
Also, to run any end-to-end test, see the Appendices section.
1. Prerequisites {#prerequisites}
This guide requires that you've completed the following guides:
2. Build a Fuchsia image to include the end-to-end test {#build-a-fuchsia-image-to-include-the-end-to-end-test}
Before you can run the screen_is_not_black end-to-end test, you first
need to build your Fuchsia image to include the test in the build artifacts:
Note: The examples in this guide use the workstation_eng product. End-to-end tests work with most
products except core.
-
To add the end-to-end test, run the
fx setcommand with the following--withoption://src/tests/end_to_end/screen_is_not_blackis a test directory in the Fuchsia source tree. TheBUILD.gnfile in this directory defines thescreen_is_not_blacktarget to include thescreen_is_not_blackend-to-end test in the build artifacts. -
Build your Fuchsia image:
When the
fx buildcommand completes, the build artifacts now include thescreen_is_not_blackend-to-end test, which you can run from your host machine.
3. Start the emulator with the Fuchsia image {#start-the-emulator-with-the-fuchsia-image}
Start the emulator with your Fuchsia image and run a package repository server:
Note: The steps in this section assume that you don't have any terminals
currently running FEMU or the fx serve command.
-
Configure an IPv6 network for the emulator:
Note: This has to be completed once per machine.
-
Configure the upscript:
Note: If your machine is behind a firewall, you may need to apply some additional configuration to allow the emulator to access the network. This is typically accomplished by running an "upscript", which sets up the interfaces and firewall access rules for the current process. If you're on a corporate network, check with your internal networking team to see if they have an existing upscript for you to use. If you're not behind a firewall, there's still some configuration needed to enable tun/tap networking. The example upscript at
{{ '' }}FUCHSIA_ROOT{{ '' }}/scripts/start-unsecure-internet.shshould work for the majority of non-corporate users.Replace the following:
PATH_TO_UPSCRIPT: The path to a FEMU network setup script; for example,~/fuchsia/scripts/start-unsecure-internet.sh.
-
Start the package server
-
Start the emulator:
When startup is complete, the emulator prints the following message and opens a shell prompt:
none {:.devsite-disable-click-to-copy} Logging to "{{ '<var>' }}$HOME{{ '</var>' }}/.local/share/Fuchsia/ffx/emu/instances/fuchsia-emulator/emulator.log" Waiting for Fuchsia to start (up to 60 seconds)........Emulator is ready.-
The
--netflag requires a value to indicate which kind of networking to implement.--nethas the following possible values:tap: Attaches a Tun/Tap interface.user: Sets up mapped ports through SLiRP.none: Disables networking.auto: Checks the host system's capabilities and selectstapif it is available oruserif a tap interface is unavailable.autois the default.
autois the default if the flag is not specified on the command line. The upscript is automatically executed only if the user selectstapmode.If
autois used, the launcher checks for a tap interface on the device. If it finds a tap interface, it usestapmode; otherwise it usesusermode. -
-
Run the
fx set-devicecommand and selectfuchsia-emulator(the emulator's default device name) to be your device, for example:$ fx set-device ERROR: Multiple devices found, please pick one from the list: 1) fuchsia-4407-0bb4-d0eb 2) fuchsia-emulator
? 2
New default device: fuchsia-emulator
4. Run the end-to-end test {#run-the-end-to-end-test}
Run the screen_is_not_black end-to-end test:
When the test passes, this command prints output similar to the following:
```none {:.devsite-disable-click-to-copy} Saw a screen that is not black; waiting for 0:00:59.924543 now.
...
[FINE]: Running over ssh: killall sl4f.cmx 01:46 +1: All tests passed!
## Appendices {#appendices}
### Run any end-to-end test {#run-any-end-to-end-test}
Use the `fx test --e2e` command to run an end-to-end test from your host
machine:
```posix-terminal
fx test --e2e <TEST_NAME>
Some product configurations may include a set of end-to-end tests by default (see Examine product configuration files). However, if you want to run an end-to-end test that is not part of your product configuration, configure your Fuchsia image to include the specific test:
For example, the following commands configure and build your Fuchsia image
with all the end-to-end tests in the
//src/tests/end_to_end/perf test
directory:
```none {:.devsite-disable-click-to-copy} $ fx set workstation_eng.qemu-x64 --with //src/tests/end_to_end/perf:test $ fx build
Note: Some end-to-end tests are designed to run only on specific product
configurations.
For the list of all available end-to-end tests in the Fuchsia repository, see
the [//src/tests/end\_to\_end](../../src/tests/end_to_end) directory.
### Examine product configuration files {#examine-product-configuration-files}
To find out which end-to-end tests are included in a
specific product configuration, examine product configuration files (`.gni`) in
the Fuchsia repository's <code>[//products][products-dir]</code> directory.
The following example shows the product configurations files in the
`//products` directory:
```none {:.devsite-disable-click-to-copy}
~/fuchsia/products$ ls *.gni
bringup.gni core.gni terminal.gni workstation_eng.gni
Among these product configurations, [terminal][terminal-gni] and
[workstation_eng][workstation-gni] include end-to-end tests by
default. The following example shows the end-to-end tests included
in terminal.gni:
```none {:.devsite-disable-click-to-copy} cache_package_labels += [ ... "//src/tests/end_to_end/bundles:end_to_end_deps", "//src/tests/end_to_end/bundles:terminal_end_to_end_deps", ]
...
universe_package_labels += [ "//src/tests/end_to_end/screen_is_not_black", "//src/tests/end_to_end/sl4f:test", "//src/tests/end_to_end/perf:test", ... ] ```
