Client E2E Python test library

Izuma Client E2E tests verify that a target platform can perform essential Device Management Client operations. The library is designed to be used with the pytest test framework.

Prerequisites

Python 3.8 or later.

Installation

$ git clone https://github.com/PelionIoT/client-e2e-python-test-library.git
$ pip install wheel
$ python3 setup.py bdist_wheel
$ cd dist/
$ pip install -I client_test_lib*.whl

Basic usage

  • Build the Device Management Client example application for your board and flash it.

  • Set the CLOUD_API_KEY environment variable with your access key.

    • Linux: export CLOUD_API_KEY=<access_key_here>
    • Windows: set CLOUD_API_KEY=<access_key_here>
  • Default API address is https://api.us-east-1.mbedcloud.com. You can change this by defining CLOUD_API_GW environment variable in similar way as CLOUD_API_KEY is done above.

  • Test run will create temporary API key for the WebSocket callback channel by default. If you want to prevent that and use only the exported API key, add --use_one_apikey startup argument.

  • Tests use Mbed LS to select the board from the serial port.

    • If you have only one board connected to the serial port, you don't need to select the device for the tests.
    • If there are multiple boards connected to the serial port, run mbedls to check the target board's ID, and use it in the test run's argument --target_id=[id].
    $ mbedls

  • You can also run tests with the Linux build of the Device Management Client by passing the compiled binary in the --local_binary=./mbedCloudClientExample.elf argument.

Running a test set

To run a test set for Device Management Client use the command:

pytest tests/dev-client-tests.py

Read later instructions how to setup the update test to go with the test set.

Running a single test

To run a single test from the set, use the -k argument to set the test name as a keyword:

pytest tests/dev-client-tests.py -k get_resource

Running the update test

Before running the update test, make sure you create update-related configuration and initialize the developer environment properly, as describe the Device Management Client example tutorial.

The update test uses the manifest-dev-tool utility to create the actual manifest for update campaigns.

To run the update test, provide the mandatory update image path and optional manifest-dev-tool init path arguments at startup:

  • --update_bin=/home/user/mbed-cloud-client-example_update.bin absolute path for the update image
  • --manifest_tool=/home/user/mbed-os-example-pelion absolute path where manifest-dev-tool init is executed - defaults to the current working directory.

To leave the firmware image, manifest and campaign in your account after the test, add the --no_cleanup startup argument.

Manifest tool 2.0.0 supports two manifest schema versions: v1 and v3. By default, the update test creates v3 manifests, but you can create v1 manifests by passing the --manifest_version=v1 startup argument.

Results output

Add the startup arguments to adjust the generated output:

  • --log-cli-level=DEBUG adds more details
  • --html=results.html generates an HTML report
  • --junitxml=junit.xml provides output for CI systems, for example Jenkins

The library also writes a separate client.log file from the Device Management Client output.

Customized test runs

There are many ways to configure the test runs. Refer to the full pytest documentation for more information.
