Up to this point we haven't had any regression tests for the layer
index, but the application (in particular the update script) has become
rather complicated, and we have had a few regressions, so here are some
tests. I've implemented them using pytest and pytest-django; I chose
pytest since we are starting from scratch here and I like the idea of
pytest's fixtures among other features. Annoyingly though because of our
use of separate scripts that need to perform database operations I had
to hack around some of the behaviour of pytest-django, which is clearly
not designed with this kind of structure in mind, but that's taken care
of now. Note that I've only considered backend testing for the moment,
there's not yet a strategy for testing the UI.
To run the tests you simply run "pytest" in the root of the repository.
You will need to have a working configuration set in settings.py (a
database needs to be set, but won't actually be used), and if you're
using MariaDB/MySQL then you'll need the READ COMMITTED transaction
isolation mode selected.
At the moment there are only a few basic tests for the update script
and a bunch of comments describing some we should add. The tests use
a newly added synthetic meta-layerindex-test layer on
git.yoctoproject.org so we can have something with known and fairly
static content. I expect we will extend these tests in the near future.
