2.5.25.3. TestBuildStepMixin
- class buildbot.test.steps.TestBuildStepMixin
- The class - TestBuildStepMixinallows to test build steps. It mocks the connection to the worker. The commands sent to the worker can be verified and command results can be injected back into the step under test. Additionally, the step under test is modified to allow checking how the step runs and what results it produces.- The following is an example of a basic step test: - class RemovePYCs(TestBuildStepMixin, TestReactorMixin, unittest.TestCase): @defer.inlineCallbacks def setUp(self): yield self.setup_test_reactor() yield self.setup_test_build_step() @defer.inlineCallbacks def test_run_ok(self): self.setup_step(python_twisted.RemovePYCs()) self.expect_commands( ExpectShell(workdir='wkdir', command=['find', '.', '-name', '\'*.pyc\'', '-exec', 'rm', '{}', ';']) .exit(0) ) self.expect_outcome(result=SUCCESS, state_string='remove .pycs') yield self.run_step() - Basic workflow is as follows: - The test case must derive from - TestReactorMixinand properly setup it.
- In - setUp()of test case call- self.setup_test_build_step().
- In unit test first optionally call self.setup_build(...)function to setup information
- that will be available to the step during the test. 
 
- In unit test first optionally call 
- In unit test call - self.setup_step(step)which will setup the step for testing.
- Call - self.expect_commands(commands)to specify commands that the step is expected to run and the results of these commands.
- Call various other - expect_*member functions to define other expectations.
- Call - self.run_step()to actually run the step.
 - All expectations are verified once the step has completed running. - setup_test_build_step()
- Call this function in the - setUp()method of the test case to setup step testing machinery.
 - setup_build(worker_env=None, build_files=None)
- Parameters:
- worker_env (dict) – An optional dictionary of environment variables on the mock worker. 
- build_files (list) – An optional list of source files that were changed in the build. 
 
 - Sets up build and worker information that will be available to the tested step. 
 - setup_step(step, worker_env=None, build_files=None)
- Parameters:
- step (BuildStep) – An instance of - BuildStepto test.
- worker_env (dict) – An optional dictionary of environment variables on the mock worker (deprecated). 
- build_files (list) – An optional list of source files that were changed in the build (deprecated). 
 
- Returns:
- An instance of prepared step (not the same as the - stepargument).
 - Prepares the given step for testing. This function may be invoked multiple times. The - stepargument is used as a step factory, just like in real Buildbot.
 - step
- (deprecated) The step under test. This attribute is available after - setup_step()is run.- This function has been deprecated, use - get_nth_step(0)as a replacement
 - get_nth_step(index)
- Parameters:
- index (int) – The index of the step to retrieve 
 - Retrieves the instance of a step that has been created by - setup_step().
 - expect_commands(*commands)
- Parameters:
- commands – A list of commands that are expected to be run (a subclass of - buildbot.test.steps.Expect).
 - Sets up an expectation of step sending the given commands to worker. 
 - expect_outcome(result, state_string=None)
- Parameters:
- result – A result from buildbot.process.results. 
- state_string (str) – An optional status text. 
 
 - Sets up an expectation of the step result. If there are multiple steps registered to the test, then there must be as many calls to - expect_outcomeas there are steps, in the same order.
 - expect_property(property, value, source=None)
- Parameters:
- property (str) – The name of the property 
- value (str) – The value of the property 
- source (str) – An optional source of the property 
 
 - Sets up an expectation of a property set by the step. If there are multiple steps registered to the test, then this function tests the cumulative set of properties set on the build. 
 - expect_no_property(self, property)
- Parameters:
- property (str) – The name of the property 
 - Sets up an expectation of an absence of a property set by the step. If there are multiple steps registered to the test, then this function expects that no tests set the property. 
 - expect_log_file(self, logfile, contents, step_index=0)
- Parameters:
- logfile (str) – The name of the log file 
- contents (str) – The contents of the log file 
- step_index (int) – The index of the step whose logs to investigate. 
 
 - Sets up an expectation of a log file being produced by the step. Only the - stdoutassociated with the log file is checked. To check the- stderrsee- expect_log_file_stderr()
 - expect_log_file_stderr(self, logfile, contents, step_index=0)
- Parameters:
- logfile (str) – The name of the log file 
- contents (str) – The contents of the log file 
- step_index (int) – The index of the step whose logs to investigate. 
 
 - Sets up an expectation of a - stderroutput in log file being produced by the step.
 - expect_build_data(name, value, source)
- Parameters:
- name (str) – The name of the build data. 
- value (str) – The value of the build data. 
- source (str) – The source of the build data. 
 
 - Sets up an expectation of build data produced by the step. If there are multiple steps registered to the test, then this function tests the cumulative set of build data added to the build. 
 - Parameters:
- hidden (bool) – Whether the step should be hidden. 
 - Sets up an expectation of step being hidden on completion. 
 - expect_exception(expection_class)
- Parameters:
- expection_class – The type of the class to expect. 
 - Sets up an expectation of an exception being raised during the runtime of the step. The expected result of the step is automatically set to - EXCEPTION.
 - run_step()
- Runs the steps and validates the expectations setup before this function.
