Python Tests for FESA3 Code Generation

To test the results of the python code generation in FESA3 a selection of python tests was created.

These tests concern the FESA FWK projects fesa-codegen/-gsi.

How to run the Tests

The tests require the Python modules unittest and xmlrunner. unittest is contained in Python 2.7 and xmlrunner is located in fesa-environment-gsi/tools/python . The PYTHONPATH environment variable must be set appropriately.

For each of the projects the Python script runTests.py must be launched. A directory for the test results in XML format is created during the tests (fesa-codegen/src/test/test-reports/, fesa-codegen-gsi/src/test/test-reports/).

The tests in fesa-codegen-gsi require a softlink pointing to the tests of fesa-codegen (../fesa-codegen/src/test/codegen_test) and to the codegen package itself (../fesa-codegen/src/py/codegen).

For running the Python tests a simple shell script was created. The script performs the necessary steps for running the Python tests. It is stored in the SVN repository:

https://www-acc.gsi.de/svn/fesa/framework/trunk/fesa-tools/scripts/runPythonCodegenTests.sh

The script runs best in a workspace containing the fesa-codegen projects.

"Automagic"

The Python tests for the code generation will be run "automagically" on GSI's build system Jenkins as soon as the code base in the SVN repository changed.
