Component tests
<<../../_common/components/_tests_intro.md>>
Test runners
Test runners are reusable adapters between the Test Runner Framework and common
frameworks used by developers to write tests in their preferred
language. Each test runner component exposes the fuchsia.test.Suite capability
that enables the test_manager to enumerate and execute individual tests, and
declares the appropriate execution runner with test framework support.
- {Rust}
{
// Execute tests using language-specific runner
program: { runner: "rust_test_runner" },
// Expose test suite protocol to test manager
capabilities: [
{ protocol: "fuchsia.test.Suite" },
],
expose: [
{
protocol: "fuchsia.test.Suite",
from: "self",
},
],
}
- {C++}
{
// Execute tests using language-specific runner
program: { runner: "gtest_runner" },
// Expose test suite protocol to test manager
capabilities: [
{ protocol: "fuchsia.test.Suite" },
],
expose: [
{
protocol: "fuchsia.test.Suite",
from: "self",
},
],
}
To simplify integration, the Test Runner Framework provides manifest shards for each language-specific runner. The following is an equivalent test runner CML for declaring the capabilities from the previous example component tests.
- {Rust}
- {C++}
Note: For complete details on the Test Runner Framework and component testing, see the testing documentation.
Unit tests
Unit testing{:.external} focuses on validating the individual units of code within your component and isolated from other components on the system. Unit tests should be hermetic, meaning that they do not require or provide additional capabilities outside of the test.
The Fuchsia build system provides additional GN targets to facilitate unit testing components:
fuchsia_unittest_package(): A single-component package that automatically generates a minimal component manifest to reference the test binary and requires no additional capabilities.fuchsia_unittest_component(): A component declaration that generates the same minimal component manifest. This rule is useful if you need to build multiple unit test components into the samefuchsia_package().
Below is an example BUILD.gn snippet for including unit tests:
import("//build/components.gni")
executable("bin_test") {
sources = [ "main_test.cc" ]
deps = [
"//src/lib/fxl/test:gtest_main",
"//third_party/googletest:gtest",
]
testonly = true
}
fuchsia_unittest_package("hello-world-unittests") {
deps = [
":bin_test",
]
}
Exercise: Echo unit tests
In this exercise, you'll add unit tests to the echo-args component with the
Test Runner Framework and run those tests in a FEMU environment.
Implement unit tests
Unit tests verify that the internal functions of the component behave as
expected. For the echo-args component, you'll validate that the greeting()
function used in the previous exercise returns the expected values.
Add the following unit test functions to validate the behavior of the
greeting() function when supplied with one, two, or three arguments:
- {Rust}
echo-args/src/main.rs:
{% includecode gerrit_repo="fuchsia/fuchsia" gerrit_path="examples/components/echo/rust/src/main.rs" region_tag="test_mod" adjust_indentation="auto" %}
- {C++}
echo-args/echo_args_unittest.cc:
{% includecode gerrit_repo="fuchsia/fuchsia" gerrit_path="examples/components/echo/cpp/echo_unittest.cc" region_tag="imports" adjust_indentation="auto" %}
#include "vendor/fuchsia-codelab/echo-args/echo_args.h"
{% includecode gerrit_repo="fuchsia/fuchsia" gerrit_path="examples/components/echo/cpp/echo_unittest.cc" region_tag="test_mod" adjust_indentation="auto" %}
Run the unit tests
In the previous exercise, your component project scaffold generated a
fuchsia_unittest_package() in the BUILD.gn file. Locate this rule:
- {Rust}
echo-args/BUILD.gn:
gn {:.devsite-disable-click-to-copy}
fuchsia_unittest_package("echo-args-unittests") {
deps = [ ":bin_test" ]
}
- {C++}
echo-args/BUILD.gn:
gn {:.devsite-disable-click-to-copy}
fuchsia_unittest_package("echo-args-unittests") {
deps = [ ":unittests" ]
}
This rule packages your unit tests into a component with the following URL:
```none {:.devsite-disable-click-to-copy} fuchsia-pkg://fuchsia.com/echo-args-unittests#meta/echo-args-unittests.cm
Use the ffx test command to execute the unit tests inside this package.
Verify that the tests pass:
