It is assume to be configured like the +standard Ubuntu Packages: + +- Binaries in :file:`/usr/lib/frr` +- State Directory :file:`/var/run/frr` +- Running under user ``frr``, group ``frr`` +- vtygroup: ``frrvty`` +- config directory: :file:`/etc/frr` +- For FRR Packages, install the dbg package as well for coredump decoding + +No FRR config needs to be done and no FRR daemons should be run ahead of the +test. They are all started as part of the test. + +Manual FRR build +"""""""""""""""" + +If you prefer to manually build FRR, then use the following suggested config: + +.. code:: shell + + ./configure \ + --prefix=/usr \ + --localstatedir=/var/run/frr \ + --sbindir=/usr/lib/frr \ + --sysconfdir=/etc/frr \ + --enable-vtysh \ + --enable-pimd \ + --enable-pim6d \ + --enable-sharpd \ + --enable-multipath=64 \ + --enable-user=frr \ + --enable-group=frr \ + --enable-vty-group=frrvty \ + --enable-snmp=agentx \ + --with-pkg-extra-version=-my-manual-build + +And create ``frr`` user and ``frrvty`` group as follows: + +.. code:: shell + + addgroup --system --gid 92 frr + addgroup --system --gid 85 frrvty + adduser --system --ingroup frr --home /var/run/frr/ \ + --gecos "FRRouting suite" --shell /bin/false frr + usermod -G frrvty frr + +Executing Tests +--------------- + +Configure your sudo environment +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Topotests must be run as root. Normally this will be accomplished through the +use of the ``sudo`` command. In order for topotests to be able to open new +windows (either XTerm or byobu/screen/tmux windows) certain environment +variables must be passed through the sudo command. One way to do this is to +specify the ``-E`` flag to ``sudo``. This will carry over most if not all +your environment variables include ``PATH``. For example: + +.. code:: shell + + sudo -E python3 -m pytest -s -v + +If you do not wish to use ``-E`` (e.g., to avoid ``sudo`` inheriting +``PATH``) you can modify your `/etc/sudoers` config file to specifically pass +the environment variables required by topotests. Add the following commands to +your ``/etc/sudoers`` config file. + +.. code:: shell + + Defaults env_keep="TMUX" + Defaults env_keep+="TMUX_PANE" + Defaults env_keep+="STY" + Defaults env_keep+="DISPLAY" + +If there was already an ``env_keep`` configuration there be sure to use the +``+=`` rather than ``=`` on the first line above as well. + + +Execute all tests in distributed test mode +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +.. code:: shell + + sudo -E pytest -s -v -nauto --dist=loadfile + +The above command must be executed from inside the topotests directory. + +All test\_\* scripts in subdirectories are detected and executed (unless +disabled in ``pytest.ini`` file). Pytest will execute up to N tests in parallel +where N is based on the number of cores on the host. + +Analyze Test Results (``analyze.py``) +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +By default router and execution logs are saved in ``/tmp/topotests`` and an XML +results file is saved in ``/tmp/topotests/topotests.xml``. An analysis tool +``analyze.py`` is provided to archive and analyze these results after the run +completes. + +After the test run completes one should pick an archive directory to store the +results in and pass this value to ``analyze.py``. On first execution the results +are moved to that directory from ``/tmp/topotests``. Subsequent runs of +``analyze.py`` with the same args will use that directories contents for instead +of copying any new results from ``/tmp``. Below is an example of this which also +shows the default behavior which is to display all failed and errored tests in +the run. + +.. code:: shell + + ~/frr/tests/topotests# ./analyze.py -Ar run-save + bgp_multiview_topo1/test_bgp_multiview_topo1.py::test_bgp_converge + ospf_basic_functionality/test_ospf_lan.py::test_ospf_lan_tc1_p0 + bgp_gr_functionality_topo2/test_bgp_gr_functionality_topo2.py::test_BGP_GR_10_p2 + bgp_multiview_topo1/test_bgp_multiview_topo1.py::test_bgp_routingTable + +Here we see that 4 tests have failed.

One can select the set of results to show with the ``-S`` or +``--select`` flags along with the letters for each type (i.e., ``-S efps`` +would select all results). By default ``analyze.py`` will use ``-S ef`` (i.e., +[e]rrors and [f]ailures) unless the ``--search`` filter is given in which case +the default is to search all results (i.e., ``-S efps``). + +One can find all results which contain a ``REGEXP``. To filter results using a +regular expression use the ``--search REGEXP`` option. In this case, by default, +all result types will be searched for a match against the given ``REGEXP``. If a +test result output contains a match it is selected into the set of results to show. + +An example of using ``--search`` would be to search all tests results for some +log message, perhaps a warning or error. + +Using XML Results File from CI +"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" + +``analyze.py`` actually only needs the ``topotests.xml`` file to run. This is +very useful for analyzing a CI run failure where one only need download the +``topotests.xml`` artifact from the run and then pass that to ``analyze.py`` +with the ``-r`` or ``--results`` option. + +For local runs if you wish to simply copy the ``topotests.xml`` file (leaving +the log files where they are), you can pass the ``-a`` (or ``--save-xml``) +instead of the ``-A`` (or ``-save``) options. + +Analyze Results from a Container Run +"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" + +``analyze.py`` can also be used with ``docker`` or ``podman`` containers. +Everything works exactly as with a host run except that you specify the name of +the container, or the container-id, using the `-C` or ``--container`` option. +``analyze.py`` will then use the results inside that containers +``/tmp/topotests`` directory. It will extract and save those results when you +pass the ``-A`` or ``-a`` options just as withe host results. + + +Execute single test +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +.. code:: shell + + cd test_to_be_run + sudo -E pytest ./test_to_be_run.py + +For example, and assuming you are inside the frr directory: + +.. code:: shell + + cd tests/topotests/bgp_l3vpn_to_bgp_vrf + sudo -E pytest ./test_bgp_l3vpn_to_bgp_vrf.py + +For further options, refer to pytest documentation. + +Test will set exit code which can be used with ``git bisect``. + +For the simulated topology, see the description in the python file. + +Running Topotests with AddressSanitizer +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Topotests can be run with AddressSanitizer. It requires GCC 4.8 or newer. +(Ubuntu 16.04 as suggested here is fine with GCC 5 as default). For more +information on AddressSanitizer, see +https://github.com/google/sanitizers/wiki/AddressSanitizer. + +The checks are done automatically in the library call of ``checkRouterRunning`` +(ie at beginning of tests when there is a check for all daemons running). No +changes or extra configuration for topotests is required beside compiling the +suite with AddressSanitizer enabled. + +If a daemon crashed, then the errorlog is checked for AddressSanitizer output. +If found, then this is added with context (calling test) to +:file:`/tmp/AddressSanitizer.txt` in Markdown compatible format. + +Compiling for GCC AddressSanitizer requires to use ``gcc`` as a linker as well +(instead of ``ld``). Here is a suggest way to compile frr with AddressSanitizer +for ``master`` branch: + +.. code:: shell + + git clone https://github.com/FRRouting/frr.git + cd frr + ./bootstrap.sh + ./configure \ + --enable-address-sanitizer \ + --prefix=/usr/lib/frr --sysconfdir=/etc/frr \ + --localstatedir=/var/run/frr \ + --sbindir=/usr/lib/frr --bindir=/usr/lib/frr \ + --with-moduledir=/usr/lib/frr/modules \ + --enable-multipath=0 --enable-rtadv \ + --enable-tcp-zebra --enable-fpm --enable-pimd \ + --enable-sharpd + make + sudo make install + # Create symlink for vtysh, so topotest finds it in /usr/lib/frr + sudo ln -s /usr/lib/frr/vtysh /usr/bin/ + +and create ``frr`` user and ``frrvty`` group as shown above. + +Debugging Topotest Failures +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Install and run tests inside ``tmux`` or ``byobu`` for best results. + +``XTerm`` is also fully supported. GNU ``screen`` can be used in most +situations; however, it does not work as well with launching ``vtysh`` or shell +on error. + +For the below debugging options which launch programs or CLIs, topotest should +be run within ``tmux`` (or ``screen``)_, as ``gdb``, the shell or ``vtysh`` will +be launched using that windowing program, otherwise ``xterm`` will be attempted +to launch the given programs. + +NOTE: you must run the topotest (pytest) such that your DISPLAY, STY or TMUX +environment variables are carried over. You can do this by passing the +``-E`` flag to ``sudo`` or you can modify your ``/etc/sudoers`` config to +automatically pass that environment variable through to the ``sudo`` +environment. + +.. _screen: https://www.gnu.org/software/screen/ +.. _tmux: https://github.com/tmux/tmux/wiki + +Capturing Packets +""""""""""""""""" + +One can view and capture packets on any of the networks or interfaces defined by +the topotest by specifying the ``--pcap=NET|INTF|all[,NET|INTF,...]`` CLI option +as shown in the examples below. + +.. code:: shell + + # Capture on all networks in isis_topo1 test + sudo -E pytest isis_topo1 --pcap=all + + # Capture on `sw1` network + sudo -E pytest isis_topo1 --pcap=sw1 + + # Capture on `sw1` network and on interface `eth0` on router `r2` + sudo -E pytest isis_topo1 --pcap=sw1,r2:r2-eth0 + +For each capture a window is opened displaying a live summary of the captured +packets.

If you need to force a complete recompile, you can set +``TOPOTEST_CLEAN``: + +.. code:: console + + TOPOTEST_CLEAN=1 ./tests/topotests/docker/frr-topotests.sh + +By default, ``frr-topotests.sh`` will build frr and run pytest. If you append +arguments and the first one starts with ``/`` or ``./``, they will replace the +call to pytest. If the appended arguments do not match this patttern, they will +be provided to pytest as arguments. So, to run a specific test with more +verbose logging: + +.. code:: console + + ./tests/topotests/docker/frr-topotests.sh -vv -s all-protocol-startup/test_all_protocol_startup.py + +And to compile FRR but drop into a shell instead of running pytest: + +.. code:: console + + ./tests/topotests/docker/frr-topotests.sh /bin/bash + +Development +^^^^^^^^^^^ + +The Docker image just includes all the components to run the topotests, but not +the topotests themselves. So if you just want to write tests and don't want to +make changes to the environment provided by the Docker image. You don't need to +build your own Docker image if you do not want to. + +When developing new tests, there is one caveat though: The startup script of +the container will run a ``git-clean`` on its copy of the FRR tree to avoid any +pollution of the container with build artefacts from the host. This will also +result in your newly written tests being unavailable in the container unless at +least added to the index with ``git-add``. + +If you do want to test changes to the Docker image, you can locally build the +image and run the tests without pulling from the registry using the following +commands: + +.. code:: console + + make topotests-build + TOPOTEST_PULL=0 make topotests + + +.. _topotests-guidelines: + +Guidelines +---------- + +Executing Tests +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +To run the whole suite of tests the following commands must be executed at the +top level directory of topotest: + +.. code:: shell + + $ # Change to the top level directory of topotests. + $ cd path/to/topotests + $ # Tests must be run as root, since micronet requires it. + $ sudo -E pytest + +In order to run a specific test, you can use the following command: + +.. code:: shell + + $ # running a specific topology + $ sudo -E pytest ospf-topo1/ + $ # or inside the test folder + $ cd ospf-topo1 + $ sudo -E pytest # to run all tests inside the directory + $ sudo -E pytest test_ospf_topo1.py # to run a specific test + $ # or outside the test folder + $ cd .. + $ sudo -E pytest ospf-topo1/test_ospf_topo1.py # to run a specific one + +The output of the tested daemons will be available at the temporary folder of +your machine: + +.. code:: shell + + $ ls /tmp/topotest/ospf-topo1.test_ospf-topo1/r1 + ... + zebra.err # zebra stderr output + zebra.log # zebra log file + zebra.out # zebra stdout output + ... + +You can also run memory leak tests to get reports: + +.. code:: shell + + $ # Set the environment variable to apply to a specific test... + $ sudo -E env TOPOTESTS_CHECK_MEMLEAK="/tmp/memleak_report_" pytest ospf-topo1/test_ospf_topo1.py + $ # ...or apply to all tests adding this line to the configuration file + $ echo 'memleak_path = /tmp/memleak_report_' >> pytest.ini + $ # You can also use your editor + $ $EDITOR pytest.ini + $ # After running tests you should see your files: + $ ls /tmp/memleak_report_* + memleak_report_test_ospf_topo1.txt + +Writing a New Test +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +This section will guide you in all recommended steps to produce a standard +topology test. + +This is the recommended test writing routine: + +- Write a topology (Graphviz recommended) +- Obtain configuration files +- Write the test itself +- Format the new code using `black <https://github.com/psf/black>`_ +- Create a Pull Request + +Some things to keep in mind: + +- BGP tests MUST use generous convergence timeouts - you must ensure + that any test involving BGP uses a convergence timeout of at least + 130 seconds. +- Topotests are run on a range of Linux versions: if your test + requires some OS-specific capability (like mpls support, or vrf + support), there are test functions available in the libraries that + will help you determine whether your test should run or be skipped. +- Avoid including unstable data in your test: don't rely on link-local + addresses or ifindex values, for example, because these can change + from run to run. +- Using sleep is almost never appropriate. As an example: if the test resets the + peers in BGP, the test should look for the peers re-converging instead of just + sleeping an arbitrary amount of time and continuing on.
