EUnit is used for unit testing. Unit tests reside in the module they are testing and test the module in isolation. The basic test skeleton should be encapsulated in a TEST block.
All tests can then be executed via make test
.
A single module can be tested via rebar3 eunit --module=MODULE_NAME
Log output is consumed; use io:format/3
for debugging purposes
System test suite tests a certain aspect of the system and can be either a single data center or a multi-datacenter suite.
A suite should be name ..._SUITE.erl
by convention.
To execute system tests, execute one of the following commands
Every system test should have its own bucket namespace defined at the top of the suite. Unique bucket namespaces ensure that test suites do not interfere with each other. The convention is filename with SUITE replaced by bucket. E.g., the bucket for antidote_SUITE.erl
should be defined as
and the macro should be used once at the start of a test case, defining the bucket to be used for that test case. If a unique bucket per test case is needed (e.g. for parallel tests), then
can be used instead.
System tests which use multiple data centers are located in the test/multidc folder. The fixed test setup is as follows:
3 interconnected Data center
Data center one has two physical nodes
make reltest
tests the antidote release executable.
To log messages in a test suite, use the function ct:log
. If a message should be visibile in the printed log (e.g. in travis), then ct:pal
or ct:print
can be used.
All other logging messages (io
, logger
) end up in the ct
HTML summary, see the generated logs/index.html
file and navigate to the test cases you want to see the logs of.
There are multiple help functions already implemented for common functionality in the test/utils
folder. They are separated by functionality into the following files:
antidote_utils
Functions to manipulate antidote data types
riak_utils
Riak cluster management. Useful for multi-dc tests.
time_utils
Time-based helper functions
test_utils
Test initialization and other helper functions which do not fit into the other categories
