Testing ======= Installing docker ----------------- First, get yourself setup with docker based on our :ref:`docker-install` documentation. .. _docker-sw-testing: Software switch testing with docker ----------------------------------- You can build and run the mininet tests with the following commands: .. code:: console sudo docker build --pull -t faucet/tests -f Dockerfile.tests . sudo apparmor_parser -R /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.tcpdump sudo modprobe openvswitch sudo docker run --name=faucet-tests \ --sysctl net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=0 --privileged --rm \ -v /var/local/lib/docker:/var/lib/docker \ -v /tmp/faucet-pip-cache:/var/tmp/pip-cache \ -ti faucet/tests The apparmor command is currently required on Ubuntu hosts to allow the use of tcpdump inside the container. If you need to use a proxy, the following to your docker run command. .. code:: console --build-arg http_proxy=http://your.proxy:port .. _docker-hw-testing: Hardware switch testing with docker ----------------------------------- .. code-block:: none +--------------------------+ | | | FAUCET CPN | | | | | +------------------------------+ +-------------------------+ | | | | | | | | +--+ | | +--+ | | | | | +---------+ | | | | FAUCET test host | +--+ | | +--+ | | | +--------------------------+ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | +---------------------+ | | | | +------+ +--+ | | | +--+ | | | |VM 1 | | +---------+ | | | | +------+ +--+ | | | +--+ | | | | | | | | | +------+ +--+ | | | +--+ OpenFlow switch | | | |VM 2 | | +---------+ | under test | | | +------+ +--+ | | | +--+ | | | | | | | | | +------+ +--+ | | | +--+ | | | |VM 3 | | +---------+ | | | | +------+ +--+ | | | +--+ | | | | | | | | | +------+ +--+ | | | +--+ | | | |VM 4 | | +---------+ | | | | +------+ +--+ | | | +--+ | | | | | | | | | | | | | +------------------------------+ | +-------------------------+ | | | MININET | | | | | +---------------------+ Requirements ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Your test host, requires at least 5 interfaces. 4 interfaces to connect to the dataplane, and one for the CPN for OpenFlow. You will need to assign an IP address to the CPN interface on the host, and configure the switch with a CPN IP address and establish that they can reach each other (eg via ping). You will need to configure the switch with two OpenFlow controllers, both with the host's CPN IP address, but with different ports (defaults are given below for *of_port* and *gauge_of_port*). .. note:: It is very important to disable any process that could cause any traffic on the dataplane test interfaces, and the test interfaces should have all IPv4/IPv6 dynamic address assignment disabled. To achieve this, on Ubuntu for example, you can set the interfaces to "unmanaged" in Network Manager, and make sure processes like `Avahi `_ ignores the test interfaces. .. note:: Hardware tests must not be run from virtualized hosts (such as under VMware). The tests need to control physical port status, and need low level L2 packet access (eg. to rewrite Ethernet source and destination addresses) which virtualization may interfere with. .. note:: Hardware tests require the test switch to have all non-OpenFlow switching/other features (eg. RSTP, DHCP) disabled on the dataplane test interfaces. These features will conflict with the functions FAUCET itself provides (and in turn the tests). It is assumed that you execute all following commands from your FAUCET source code directory (eg one you have git cloned). Test configuration ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Create a directory for the test configuration: .. code:: console mkdir -p /etc/faucet $EDITOR /etc/faucet/hw_switch_config.yaml ``hw_switch_config.yaml`` should contain the correct configuration for your switch: .. code:: yaml hw_switch: true hardware: 'Open vSwitch' # Map ports on the hardware switch, to physical ports on this machine. dp_ports: 1: enp1s0f0 2: enp1s0f1 3: enp1s0f2 4: enp1s0f3 # Hardware switch's DPID dpid: 0xeccd6d9936ed # Port on this machine that connects to hardware switch's CPN port. # Hardware switch must use IP address of this port as controller IP. cpn_intf: enp5s0 # There must be two controllers configured on the hardware switch, # with same IP (see cpn_intf), but different ports - one for FAUCET, # one for Gauge. of_port: 6636 gauge_of_port: 6637 # If you wish to test OF over TLS to the hardware switch, # set the following parameters per Ryu documentation. # https://github.com/osrg/ryu/blob/master/doc/source/tls.rst # ctl_privkey: ctl-privkey.pem # ctl_cert: ctl-cert.pem # ca_certs: /usr/local/var/lib/openvswitch/pki/switchca/cacert.pem .. _docker-hw-testing-running: Running the tests ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Before starting the hardware test suite for the first time, you will need to install ebtables on the host machine: .. code:: console sudo apt-get install ebtables After every reboot of your host machine you will also need to manually load the ``openvswitch`` and ``ebtables`` kernel modules. If using apparmor you will also need to disable the profile for tcpdump: .. code:: console sudo modprobe openvswitch sudo modprobe ebtables sudo apparmor_parser -R /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.tcpdump Then you can build and run the test suite: .. code:: console sudo docker build --pull -t faucet/tests -f Dockerfile.tests . sudo docker run --name=faucet-tests \ --privileged --rm --net=host --cap-add=NET_ADMIN \ -v /var/local/lib/docker:/var/lib/docker \ -v /tmp/faucet-pip-cache:/var/tmp/pip-cache \ -v /etc/faucet:/etc/faucet \ -v /var/tmp:/var/tmp \ -ti faucet/tests Test suite options ------------------ In both the software and hardware version of the test suite we can provide flags inside the ``FAUCET_TESTS`` environment variable to run specific parts of the test suite. .. note:: Multiple flags can be added to FAUCET_TESTS, below are just some examples of how individual flags work. To find the full list of options you can pass to the test suite, set ``FAUCET_TESTS`` to ``--help``. .. code:: console -e FAUCET_TESTS="--help" Running specific integration tests ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If specific test names are listed in the ``FAUCET_TESTS`` environment then only these integration tests will be run and all others skipped. If we add the following to either of the previous docker run commands then only the ``FaucetUntaggedTest`` will be run. .. code:: console -e FAUCET_TESTS="FaucetUntaggedTest" Running only the integration tests ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sometimes you will want to skip the pytype, linting and documentation tests in order to complete a faucet test suite run against hardware quicker. .. code:: console -e FAUCET_TESTS="-i" Skip code checks ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sometimes you will want to skip the pytype, linting and documentation tests. This can be done with with the ``-n`` flag: .. code:: console -e FAUCET_TESTS="-n" Skip unit tests ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sometimes you will want to skip the unit tests which are small tests that verify small chunks of the code base return the correct values. If these are skipped the integration tests (which spin up virtual networks and tests faucet controllers under different configurations) will still be run. This can be done with with the ``-u`` flag: .. code:: console -e FAUCET_TESTS="-u" Checking test results ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If a test fails, you can look in /var/tmp - there will be subdirectories created for each test, which will contain all the logs and debug information (including tcpdumps). By default the test suite cleans up these files but if we use the ``-k`` flag the test suite will keep these files. .. code:: console -e FAUCET_TESTS="-k" Repeatedly running tests until failure -------------------------------------- You can run tests until a failure is detected (eg, to diagnose an unreliable test). Tests will continue to run forever until at least one fails or the test is interrupted. .. code:: console -e FAUCET_TESTS="-r" Test debugging -------------- Often while debugging a failed integration test it can be useful to pause the test suite at the point of the failure. The test can then be inspected live to narrow down the exact issue. To do this, run your test with the ``--debug`` flag (replace `TEST_NAME` with actual name of test). .. code:: console -e FAUCET_TESTS="--debug TEST_NAME" The test suite will now run in a mode where it ignores successful tests and drops into a pdb shell when a failure occurs inside a test. There are a number of different `pdb commands `_ that can be run to check the actual test code. It is also possible to login to the virtual container environment to run interactive debug commands to inspect the state of the system. .. code:: console sudo sudo docker exec -it faucet-tests /bin/bash One useful thing can be to find the running mininet containers and execute commands inside of them, e.g ping: .. code:: console root@35b98943f736:/faucet-src# ps w | grep mininet: 995 pts/1 Ss+ 0:00 bash --norc --noediting -is mininet:faucet-637 997 pts/2 Ss+ 0:00 bash --norc --noediting -is mininet:u021 1001 pts/3 Ss+ 0:00 bash --norc --noediting -is mininet:u022 1005 pts/4 Ss+ 0:00 bash --norc --noediting -is mininet:u023 1009 pts/5 Ss+ 0:00 bash --norc --noediting -is mininet:u024 1013 pts/6 Ss+ 0:00 bash --norc --noediting -is mininet:s02 1077 pts/7 Ss+ 0:00 bash --norc --noediting -is mininet:gauge-637 root@35b98943f736:/faucet-src# m u021 ping 127.0.0.1
