Test components

Below is an example component manifest for a simple integration test component:

• {Rust}

  meta/integration_tests.cml:

  {
      include: [
          "syslog/client.shard.cml",
          "//src/sys/test_runners/rust/default.shard.cml",
      ],
      program: {
          binary: "bin/client_test",
      },
      children: [
          {
              name: "service",
              url: "fuchsia-pkg://fuchsia.com/foo-package-tests#meta/mock_service.cm",
          },
          {
              name: "client",
              url: "fuchsia-pkg://fuchsia.com/foo-package-tests#meta/foo_client.cm",
          },
      ],
      offer: [
          {
              protocol: "fuchsia.example.Foo",
              from: "#service",
              to: [ "#client" ],
          },
      ],
  }
  

• {C++}

  meta/integration_tests.cml:

  {
      include: [
          "syslog/client.shard.cml",
          "//src/sys/test_runners/gtest/default.shard.cml",
      ],
      program: {
          binary: "bin/client_test",
      },
      children: [
          {
              name: "service",
              url: "fuchsia-pkg://fuchsia.com/foo-package-tests#meta/mock_service.cm",
          },
          {
              name: "client",
              url: "fuchsia-pkg://fuchsia.com/foo-package-tests#meta/foo_client.cm",
          },
      ],
      offer: [
          {
              protocol: "fuchsia.example.Foo",
              from: "#service",
              to: [ "#client" ],
          },
      ],
  }
  

This test component declaration contains the following key elements:

1. An include of the necessary language-specific test runner shard. This enables the test manager to properly execute the test suite.
2. Listing the component under test and dependent components as children.
3. Routing required capabilities between components in the test realm.

The Fuchsia build system provides the fuchsia_test_package() GN target for distinct test components such as integration tests. This rule enables you to declare the components containing tests separately from those required as dependencies, and describes the target device environment where the tests should run.

Here is an example of how the above integration test could be included in the BUILD.gn file:

import("//build/components.gni")
...

// Component under test
fuchsia_component("foo_client") {
  deps = [ ... ]
  manifest = "meta/foo_client.cml"
}

// Test dependencies
fuchsia_component("mock_service") {
  deps = [ ... ]
  manifest = "meta/mock_service.cml"
  testonly = true
}

// Component containing integration tests
fuchsia_component("integration_tests") {
  deps = [ ":bin_test" ]
  manifest = "meta/integration_tests.cml"
  testonly = true
}

fuchsia_test_package("hello-world-tests") {
  test_components = [ ":integration_tests" ]
  deps = [
    ":foo_client",
    ":mock_service",
  ]
}

Exercise: Echo server integration test

In this exercise, you'll add an integration test component to exercise the FIDL protocol interface of the echo_server component with the Test Runner Framework and run those tests in a FEMU environment.

Add an integration test component

To begin, create a new integration test scaffold under the echo-integration directory:

• {Rust}

  fx create component test \
    --path vendor/fuchsia-codelab/echo-integration --lang rust
  

  This creates a project directory structure with an integration test component template:

  echo-integration
    |- BUILD.gn
    |- meta
    |   |- echo_integration.cml
    |
    |- src
        |- lib.rs
  

  • BUILD.gn: GN build targets for the test binaries, component, and package.
  • meta/echo_integration.cml: Manifest declaring the components under test and their capabilities.
  • src/lib.rs: Source code for the Rust integration tests.

• {C++}

  fx create component test \
    --path vendor/fuchsia-codelab/echo-integration --lang cpp
  

  This creates a project directory structure with an integration test component template:

  echo-integration
    |- BUILD.gn
    |- meta
    |   |- echo_integration.cml
    |
    |- echo_integration.cc
  

  • BUILD.gn: GN build targets for the test binaries, component, and package.
  • meta/echo_integration.cml: Manifest declaring the components under test and their capabilities.
  • echo_integration.cc: Source code for the C++ integration tests.

Update the test component manifest

The generated manifest for the test component applies the baseline dependencies, such as the Rust test runner. Update the echo_integration.cml file to declare the echo-server component as a child and route the Echo protocol capability to the test component.

• {Rust}

  echo-integration/meta/echo_integration.cml:

  {% includecode gerrit_repo="fuchsia/fuchsia" gerrit_path="examples/components/routing/integration_tests/rust/meta/echo_integration_test.cml" region_tag="example_snippet" adjust_indentation="auto" %}
  

• {C++}

  echo-integration/meta/echo_integration.cml:

  {% includecode gerrit_repo="fuchsia/fuchsia" gerrit_path="examples/components/routing/integration_tests/cpp/meta/echo_integration_test.cml" region_tag="example_snippet" adjust_indentation="auto" %}
  

Notice that the echo-server instance comes from the same package as the integration test. This practice promotes test packages that are hermetic by avoiding dependencies on components from other packages.

Update the fuchsia_test_package() rule to include the echo-server component as a dependency:

echo-integration/BUILD.gn:

fuchsia_test_package("package") {
  package_name = "echo-integration-tests"
  test_components = [ ":component" ]
  {{ '<strong>' }}deps = [ "//vendor/fuchsia-codelab/echo-server:component" ]{{ '</strong>' }}
}

Implement the integration test

The integration test connects to the Echo protocol exposed by the echo-server in the same way as the client component, sends a string request, and validates the expected response.

Add the following code to implement an integration test:

• {Rust}

  echo-integration/src/lib.rs:

  {% includecode gerrit_repo="fuchsia/fuchsia" gerrit_path="examples/components/routing/integration_tests/rust/src/lib.rs" region_tag="example_snippet" adjust_indentation="auto" %}
  

• {C++}

  echo-integration/echo_integration.cc:

  {% includecode gerrit_repo="fuchsia/fuchsia" gerrit_path="examples/components/routing/integration_tests/cpp/echo_integration_test.cc" region_tag="example_snippet" adjust_indentation="auto" %}
  

Include the FIDL bindings for the Echo protocol to the BUILD.gn file as a dependency:

• {Rust}

  echo-integration/BUILD.gn:

  rustc_test("bin") {
    name = "echo-integration"
  
    deps = [
      {{ '<strong>' }}"//vendor/fuchsia-codelab/echo-fidl:echo-rustc",{{ '</strong>' }}
      ...
    ]
  
    sources = [ "src/lib.rs" ]
  }
  

• {C++}

  echo-integration/BUILD.gn:

  executable("bin") {
    name = "echo-integration"
  
    deps = [
      {{ '<strong>' }}"//vendor/fuchsia-codelab/echo-fidl:echo",{{ '</strong>' }}
      ...
    ]
  
    sources = [ "echo_integration.cc" ]
  }
  

Update the build configuration

Add the integration test package to the build configuration:

fx set workstation_eng.qemu-x64 \
    --with //vendor/fuchsia-codelab/echo-fidl:echo \
    --with //vendor/fuchsia-codelab/echo-server \
    --with //vendor/fuchsia-codelab/echo-client \
    --with //vendor/fuchsia-codelab/echo-realm \
    --with //vendor/fuchsia-codelab/echo-integration:tests

Run fx build and verify that the build completes successfully:

fx build

Run the integration test

The fuchsia_test_package() rule generates a package with the test component and its dependencies. The integration test component has the following URL:

fuchsia-pkg://fuchsia.com/echo-integration-tests#meta/echo_integration.cm

Use the ffx test command to execute the integration tests. Verify that the tests pass:

ffx test run \
    fuchsia-pkg://fuchsia.com/echo-integration-tests#meta/echo_integration.cm
