=================
Running the Tests
=================
Aodh includes an extensive set of automated unit tests which are
run through tox_.
1. Install ``tox``::
$ sudo pip install tox
2. On Ubuntu install ``mongodb`` and ``libmysqlclient-dev`` packages::
$ sudo apt-get install mongodb
$ sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
For Fedora20 there is no ``libmysqlclient-dev`` package, so youll need
to install ``mariadb-devel.x86-64`` (or ``mariadb-devel.i386``) instead::
$ sudo yum install mongodb
$ sudo yum install mariadb-devel.x86_64
3. Install the test dependencies::
$ sudo pip install -e /opt/stack/aodh[test]
4. Run the unit and code-style tests::
$ cd /opt/stack/aodh
$ tox -e py27,pep8
As tox is a wrapper around testr, it also accepts the same flags as testr.
See the `testr documentation`_ for details about these additional flags.
.. _testr documentation: https://testrepository.readthedocs.org/en/latest/MANUAL.html
Use a double hyphen to pass options to testr. For example, to run only tests under tests/api/v2::
$ tox -e py27 -- api.v2
To debug tests (ie. break into pdb debugger), you can use ''debug'' tox
environment. Here's an example, passing the name of a test since you'll
normally only want to run the test that hits your breakpoint::
$ tox -e debug aodh.tests.test_bin
For reference, the ``debug`` tox environment implements the instructions
here: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Testr#Debugging_.28pdb.29_Tests
5. There is a growing suite of tests which use a tool called `gabbi`_ to
test and validate the behavior of the Aodh API. These tests are run
when using the usual ``py27`` tox target but if desired they can be run by
themselves::
$ tox -e gabbi
The YAML files used to drive the gabbi tests can be found in
``aodh/tests/gabbi/gabbits``. If you are adding to or adjusting the
API you should consider adding tests here.
