os-tests

Introduction

os-tests is a lightweight, portable and customer focused test collection for Linux OS.

Installation

Install from pypi

# pip install os-tests

Note: please install paramiko if run os-tests in server-client mode.

There is a known pynacl issue while installing paramiko on RHEL-8.6. Please install earlier pynacl version (1.4.0) instead.

Install from the source code repo directly

# pip install git+https://github.com/virt-s1/os-tests.git@master

Build wheel locally and install it

# git clone https://github.com/virt-s1/os-tests.git
# cd os-tests
# python3 setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
# pip install -U dist/os_tests-0.0.3-py3-none-any.whl

note: the default bin path is "/usr/local/bin" if not in virtual environment.

Public new wheels on pypi (maintainer use only)

# python3 -m twine upload dist/*

Run test

os-tests supports 3 working modes

Mode 1 - run on single node

Install and run tests inside the RHEL system directly, fewer cases than Mode 2 and 3, lacking the tests requiring reboot system and instance control access.
# os-tests

Mode 2 - run on existing systems remotely

Require ssh user, key/password and IP to access existing RHEL system, all tests are done remotely, can do lifecyle, kdump test, but without device hotplug capability and other tests require instance access.
# os-tests --host <remote_node> --user <remote_user> --keyfile <remote_keyfile> --result <result_dir> -p <cases>

Mode 3 - os-tests provision test system by itself

Require cloud/platform account to provision remote system self, can do full test with control of instance. Eg. device hotplug, snapshot creation, send nmi events......
Note: supports alicloud, aws, azure, gcp, openstack, libvirt, nutanix, openshift, openstack for now. Other platforms are in todo list. The config template is under cfg dir.
# os-tests -p cloudinit --user ec2-user --keyfile /home/virtqe_s1.pem --platform_profile aws_env.yaml

More options - advanced tips

List all supported cases only without run

# os-tests -l

Filter case name with keywords ltp and virtwhat

# os-tests -l -p ltp,virtwhat

Filter case name with keywords ltp and skip test_ltp_ipsec_icmp

# os-tests -l -p ltp -s test_ltp_ipsec_icmp

Run all cases in one file

# os-tests -p test_general_check

Run a single case in one file

# os-tests -p test_change_clocksource

All installed files and dirs

You can list all installed files via pip show -f os-tests simply.

Recommended pkgs in test system

os-tests will try to install required pkgs from default repo during run, but it would be better to have them if no repo is provided. List RHEL only because CentOS Stream and Fedora usually have public repo available.

RHEL-9: make,automake,autoconf,sysstat,gcc,unzip,wget,quota,bzip2,iperf3,pciutils,fio,psmisc,expect,perf,nvme-cli,pciutils,fio,libaio-devel,blktrace,fio,nvme-cli,git,tar,nfs-utils,libvirt,qemu-kvm,python3,dracut-fips,kernel-debug,python3-pip,hostname,podman,xdp-tools,openssl-devel,glibc-all-langpacks,strace,sos,acpid,mokutil,kernel-modules-extra,iproute-tc,wireshark-cli,tcpdump,nmap-ncat

RHEL-8: make,automake,autoconf,sysstat,gcc,unzip,wget,quota,bzip2,iperf3,pciutils,fio,psmisc,expect,perf,nvme-cli,pciutils,fio,php-cli,php-xml,php-json,libaio-devel,blktrace,fio,nvme-cli,git,tar,nfs-utils,libvirt,qemu-kvm,kernel-debug,python3,dracut-fips,podman,xdp-tools,openssl-devel,strace,sos,acpid,mokutil,kernel-modules-extra,iproute-tc,wireshark-cli,tcpdump,nmap-ncat

RHEL-7: install,automake,autoconf,sysstat,gcc,unzip,wget,quota,bzip2,iperf3,pciutils,fio,psmisc,expect,ntpdate,perf,nvme-cli,pciutils,fio,git,tar,nfs-utils,libvirt,qemu-kvm,kernel-debug,python3,dracut-fips,podman,strace,sos

The log file

The suite saves the summary to sum.html and sum.log under "/tmp/os_tests_result/" by default. The test debug log files are saved in "/tmp/os_tests_result/attachments" following case name. You can change "results_dir" in "cfg/os-tests.yaml" to save log to other place or pass as command option.

Below is an example:

#  os-tests -p test_change_clocksource
Run in mode: is_listcase:False pattern: test_change_clocksource
test_change_clocksource (os_tests.tests.test_general_test.TestGeneralTest) ... ok
----------------------------------------------------------------------
summary in html: /tmp/os_tests_result/sum.html
summary in text: /tmp/os_tests_result/sum.log
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 1 test in 0.383s

OK

# ls -l /tmp/os_tests_result/debug/
total 8
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 5472 Mar 30 16:44 os_tests.tests.test_general_test.TestGeneralTest.test_change_clocksource.debug

Recommend test matrix to catch potential issues

run in normal kernel, it is the most used scenario
run in debug kernel with 'kmemleak=on'(docs)
run in fips enabled kernel (docs)
run in remote-client mode to cover lifecycle cases

Third-party utils

Pre-compiled tools are shipped under 'utils' directory with os-tests because not all systems can reach github.

Contribution

You are welcome to create pull request or raise issue. New case from real customer scenario or rhbz is preferred.
Developing tool VS code is recommended with refnow plugin which ships the newest case doc template.

If adding case, please verify case doc before pushing.

$ os-tests --verifydoc -p <casename>

To dump cases doc to yaml file.

$ os-tests  -p <casename> --dumpdoc /tmp/cases.yaml
