How to launch the tests ?

Natively during the development

It could be convenient to be able to test the software that you are currently developing. Then you can ensure that your modifications haven't introduced regressions, bugs, etc. This depends upon your tests of course.

As previously saw, you need the test widget to be able to launch the tests and you need also to have the afb-test binding installed and the application framework binder to be able to execute your tests.

Assuming you already installed those components on your development host, then proceed as the following from the project root directory:

cd build
cmake -DBUILD_TEST_WGT=TRUE ..
make
make widget

To prepare all files needed for the test launch then use the afm-test script:

# Usage of afm-test command line utility
afm-test --help
Usage: /opt/AGL/bin/afm-test <binding-wgt-rootdir> <test-wgt-rootdir> [-m|--mode <SOLO|SERVICE>] [-t|--timeout <X>] [-l|--lavaoutput]
binding-wgt-rootdir: path to the test wgt file
test-wgt-rootdir: path to the test folder file
-m|--mode: SOLO (1 binder) or SERVICE (2 binders) (Default: SOLO)
-t|--timeout: timeout in second. (Default 3 seconds)
-l|--lavaoutput: Flags indicating the binding to add Lava special test markers.
Error: Test launch failed. Code: 1
# Launching the test from your build project directory
afm-test package package-test

Example with the afb-test selftest suite

Prepare the launch building the test widget:

$ cd build
# Cleaning the previous build files
$ rm -rf *
# Configuration step
$ cmake -DBUILD_TEST_WGT=TRUE ..

Launch the test using the mode SERVICE for the afb-test because of a recursion problem which loads 2 times the same binding and causes conflict. So it is needed to uses 2 binders then each ones loads its binding properly:

Tests correctly launched.

Launch test on a target board

If you are trying to launch your test on a target you'll have to use a test widget which contains test files, fixture and configuration. Then use afm-test:

# afm-test -h
Usage: /usr/bin/afm-test [-l|--lava] [-v|--verb <verb>] <path>
-l|--lavaoutput: flag that enable Lava test marker to the output. (Default: disabled)
-v|--verb: select a specific verb to launch from the test API. (Default: all)
path: path to the test wgt file

By default, the test widgets should be located in /usr/AGL/apps/testwgt. This will install the widget, launch the tests then display the result on standard output. After that it will kill test binding and remove it.

Example on a target

Here is an example:

qemux86-64:~# afm-test /usr/AGL/apps/testwgt/aftest-test.wgt
afm-test /tmp/aftest-test.wgt
PASS: aftest-test@6.90 started with pid=1649

PASS: 63 testLockWait.testFunction
# Ran 63 tests in 0.003 seconds, 63 successes, 0 failures
~~~~~~~~~~ END ALL TESTS ~~~~~~~~~~
PASS: aftest-test@6.90 killed and removed

The command being : afm-test /usr/AGL/apps/testwgt/aftest-test.wgt

You can see here that everything ran as on your pc terminal. Begin Test and End Test are the beforeEach and afterEach functions and END ALL TESTS is the after all functions.

PASS : shows the function that is or was running.
