Unit Tests¶
Manila contains a suite of unit tests, in the manila/tests directory.
Any proposed code change will be automatically rejected by the OpenStack Zuul server if the change causes unit test failures.
Running the tests¶
To run all unit tests simply run:
tox
This will create a virtual environment, load all the packages from test-requirements.txt and run all unit tests as well as run flake8 and hacking checks against the code.
You may run individual test targets, for example only unit tests, by running:
tox -e py3
Note that you can inspect the tox.ini file to get more details on the available options and what the test run does by default.
Running a subset of tests¶
Instead of running all tests, you can specify an individual directory, file, class, or method that contains test code.
To run the tests in the manila/tests/scheduler
directory:
tox -epy3 -- manila.tests.scheduler
To run the tests in the ShareManagerTestCase class in
manila/tests/share/test_manager.py
:
tox -epy3 -- manila.tests.share.test_manager.ShareManagerTestCase
To run the ShareManagerTestCase::test_share_manager_instance test method in
manila/tests/share/test_manager.py
:
tox -epy3 -- manila.tests.share.test_manager.ShareManagerTestCase.test_share_manager_instance
For more information on these options and details about stestr, please see the stestr documentation.
Database Setup¶
Some unit tests will use a local database. You can use
tools/test-setup.sh
to set up your local system the same way as
it’s setup in the CI environment.
Gotchas¶
Running Tests from Shared Folders
If you are running the unit tests from a shared folder, you may see tests start
to fail or stop completely as a result of Python lockfile issues [3]. You
can get around this by manually setting or updating the following line in
manila/tests/conf_fixture.py
:
FLAGS['lock_path'].SetDefault('/tmp')
Note that you may use any location (not just /tmp
!) as long as it is not
a shared folder.
