+ <para> Welcome to the Yocto Project Test Environment Manual! This manual is a work in
+ progress. The manual contains information about the testing environment used by the
+ Yocto Project to make sure each major and minor release works as intended. All the
+ project's testing infrastructure and processes are publicly visible and available so
+ that the community can see what testing is being performed, how it's being done and the
+ current status of the tests and the project at any given time. It is intended that Other
+ organizations can leverage off the process and testing environment used by the Yocto
+ Project to create their own automated, production test environment, building upon the
+ foundations from the project core. </para>
+
+ <para> Currently, the Yocto Project Test Environment Manual has no projected release date.

+ layers, run builds, and collect results. The code is independent of any CI
+ system, which means the code can work Buildbot, Jenkins, or others. This

+ <title>Yocto Project Autobuilder Overview</title>
+
+ <para>The Yocto Project Autobuilder collectively refers to the software, tools, scripts, and
+ procedures used by the Yocto Project to test released software across supported hardware
+ in an automated and regular fashion. Basically, during the development of a Yocto
+ Project release, the Autobuilder tests if things work. The Autobuilder builds all test
+ targets and runs all the tests. </para>
+
+ <para>The Yocto Project uses now uses standard upstream <ulink
+ url="https://docs.buildbot.net/0.9.15.post1/">Buildbot</ulink> (version 9) to drive
+ its integration and testing. Buildbot Nine has a plug-in interface that the Yocto
+ Project customizes using code from the <filename>yocto-autobuilder2</filename>
+ repository, adding its own console UI plugin. The resulting UI plug-in allows you to
+ visualize builds in a way suited to the project's needs.</para>
+
+ <para>A <filename>helper</filename> layer provides configuration and job management through
+ scripts found in the <filename>yocto-autobuilder-helper</filename> repository. The
+ <filename>helper</filename> layer contains the bulk of the build configuration
+ information and is release-specific, which makes it highly customizable on a per-project
+ basis. The layer is CI system-agnostic and contains a number of Helper scripts that can
+ generate build configurations from simple JSON files. <note>
+ <para>The project uses Buildbot for historical reasons but also because many of the
+ project developers have knowledge of python. It is possible to use the outer
+ layers from another Continuous Integration (CI) system such as <ulink
+ url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenkins_(software)">Jenkins</ulink>
+ instead of Buildbot. </para>

+ <para>These tests are run once an image is up and running, either on target hardware or
+ under QEMU. As a result, they are assumed to be running in a target image
+ environment, as opposed to a host build environment. A simple example from
+ <filename>meta/lib/oeqa/runtime/cases/python.py</filename> contains the
+ following:<literallayout class="monospaced">
+ class PythonTest(OERuntimeTestCase):

+ <para>In this example, the <ulink url=""><filename>OERuntimeTestCase</filename></ulink>

+ can be run on it using the <filename>run()</filename> method. </para>
+ <para>To ensure certain test or package dependencies are met, you can use the

+ <title>Considerations When Writing Tests</title>
+ <para>When writing good tests, there are several things to keep in mind. Since things
+ running on the Autobuilder are accessed concurrently by multiple workers, consider the
+ following:</para>
+ <formalpara>
+ <title>Running "cleanall" is not permitted</title>
+ <para>This can delete files from DL_DIR which would potentially break other builds
+ running in parallel. If this is required, DL_DIR must be set to an isolated
+ directory.</para>
+ </formalpara>
+ <formalpara>
+ <title>Running "cleansstate" is not permitted</title>
+ <para>This can delete files from SSTATE_DIR which would potentially break other builds
+ running in parallel. If this is required, SSTATE_DIR must be set to an isolated
+ directory. Alternatively, you can use the "-f" option with the
+ <filename>bitbake</filename> command to "taint" tasks by changing the sstate
+ checksums to ensure sstate cache items will not be reused.</para>
+ </formalpara>
+ <formalpara>
+ <title>Tests should not change the metadata</title>
+ <para>This is particularly true for oe-selftests since these can run in parallel and
+ changing metadata leads to changing checksums, which confuses BitBake while running
+ in parallel. If this is necessary, copy layers to a temporary location and modify
+ them. Some tests need to change metadata, such as the devtool tests. To prevent the
+ metadate from changes, set up temporary copies of that data first.</para>

+<title>Project Testing and Release Process</title>
+ <section id='test-daily-devel'>
+ <title>Day to Day Development</title>
+
+ <para>This section details how the project tests changes, through automation on the
+ Autobuilder or with the assistance of QA teams, through to making releases.</para>
+
+ <para>The project aims to test changes against our test matrix before those changes are
+ merged into the master branch. As such, changes are queued up in batches either in the
+ <filename>master-next</filename> branch in the main trees, or in user trees such as
+ <filename>ross/mut</filename> in <filename>poky-contrib</filename> (Ross Burton
+ helps review and test patches and this is his testing tree).</para>
+ <para>We have two broad categories of test builds, including "full" and "quick". On the
+ Autobuilder, these can be seen as "a-quick" and "a-full", simply for ease of sorting in
+ the UI. Use our Autobuilder console view to see where me manage most test-related items,
+ available at: <link linkend=""
+ >https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/console</link>.</para>
+ <para>Builds are triggered manually when the test branches are ready. The builds are
+ monitored by the SWAT team. For additional information, see <link linkend=""
+ >https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Yocto_Build_Failure_Swat_Team</link>. If
+ successful, the changes would usually be merged to the <filename>master</filename>
+ branch. If not successful, someone would respond to the changes on the mailing list
+ explaining that there was a failure in testing. The choice of quick or full would depend
+ on the type of changes and the speed with which the result was required.</para>
+ <para>The Autobuilder does build the <filename>master</filename> branch once daily for
+ several reasons, in particular, to ensure the current <filename>master</filename> branch
+ does build, but also to keep <filename>yocto-testresults</filename> (<link linkend=""
+ >http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/yocto-testresults/</link>), buildhistory
+ (<link linkend="">http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky-buildhistory/</link>),
+ and our sstate up to date. On the weekend, there is a master-next build instead to
+ ensure the test results are updated for the less frequently run targets.</para>
+ <para>Performance builds (buildperf-* targets in the console) are triggered separately every
+ six hours and automatically push their results to the buildstats repository at: <link
+ linkend="">http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/yocto-buildstats/</link>. </para>
+ <para>The 'quick' targets have been selected to be the ones which catch the most failures or
+ give the most valuable data. We run 'fast' ptests in this case for example but not the
+ ones which take a long time. The quick target doesn't include *-lsb builds for all
+ architectures, some world builds and doesn't trigger performance tests or ltp testing.
+ The full build includes all these things and is slower but more comprehensive.</para>
+ </section>
+
+ <section id='test-yocto-project-autobuilder-overview'>
+ <title>Release Builds</title>
+
+ <para>The project typically has two major releases a year with a six month cadence in April
+ and October. Between these there would be a number of milestone releases (usually four)
+ with the final one being stablization only along with point releases of our stable
+ branches.</para>
+ <para>The build and release process for these project releases is similar to that in <link
+ linkend="test-daily-devel">Day to Day Development</link>, in that the a-full target
+ of the Autobuilder is used but in addition the form is configured to generate and
+ publish artefacts and the milestone number, version, release candidate number and other
+ information is entered. The box to "generate an email to QA"is also checked.</para>
+ <para>When the build completes, an email is sent out using the send-qa-email script in the
+ <filename>yocto-autobuilder-helper</filename> repository to the list of people
+ configured for that release. Release builds are placed into a directory in <link
+ linkend="">https://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/releases</link> on the Autobuilder which
+ is included in the email. The process from here is more manual and control is
+ effectively passed to release engineering. The next steps include:<itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>QA teams respond to the email saying which tests they plan to run and when
+ the results will be available.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>QA teams run their tests and share their results in the yocto-
+ testresults-contrib repository, along with a summary of their findings.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Release engineering prepare the release as per their process. </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Test results from the QA teams are included into the release in separate
+ directories and also uploaded to the yocto-testresults repository alongside
+ the other test results for the given revision.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>The QA report in the final release is regenerated using resulttool to
+ include the new test results and the test summaries from the teams (as
+ headers to the generated report).</para>

+
+<title>Understanding the Yocto Project Autobuilder</title>
+ <section>
+ <title>Execution Flow within the Autobuilder</title>
+ <para>The "a-full" and "a-quick" targets are the usual entry points into the Autobuilder and
+ it makes sense to follow the process through the system starting there. This is best
+ visualised from the Autobuilder Console view (<link linkend=""
+ >https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/console</link>). </para>
+ <para>Each item along the top of that view represents some "target build" and these targets
+ are all run in parallel. The 'full' build will trigger the majority of them, the "quick"
+ build will trigger some subset of them. The Autobuilder effectively runs whichever
+ configuration is defined for each of those targets on a seperate buildbot worker. To
+ understand the configuration, you need to look at the entry on
+ <filename>config.json</filename> file within the
+ <filename>yocto-autobuilder-helper</filename> repository. The targets are defined in
+ the ‘overrides' section, a quick example could be qemux86-64 which looks
+ like:<literallayout class="monospaced">
+ "qemux86-64" : {
+ "MACHINE" : "qemux86-64",
+ "TEMPLATE" : "arch-qemu",
+ "step1" : {
+ "extravars" : [
+ "IMAGE_FSTYPES_append = ' wic wic.bmap'"
+ ]
+ }
+ },
+ </literallayout>And
+ to expand that, you need the "arch-qemu" entry from the "templates" section, which looks
+ like:<literallayout class="monospaced">
+ "arch-qemu" : {
+ "BUILDINFO" : true,
+ "BUILDHISTORY" : true,
+ "step1" : {
+ "BBTARGETS" : "core-image-sato core-image-sato-dev core-image-sato-sdk core-image-minimal core-image-minimal-dev core-image-sato:do_populate_sdk",
+ "SANITYTARGETS" : "core-image-minimal:do_testimage core-image-sato:do_testimage core-image-sato-sdk:do_testimage core-image-sato:do_testsdk"
+ },
+ "step2" : {
+ "SDKMACHINE" : "x86_64",
+ "BBTARGETS" : "core-image-sato:do_populate_sdk core-image-minimal:do_populate_sdk_ext core-image-sato:do_populate_sdk_ext",
+ "SANITYTARGETS" : "core-image-sato:do_testsdk core-image-minimal:do_testsdkext core-image-sato:do_testsdkext"
+ },
+ "step3" : {
+ "BUILDHISTORY" : false,
+ "EXTRACMDS" : ["${SCRIPTSDIR}/checkvnc; DISPLAY=:1 oe-selftest ${HELPERSTMACHTARGS} -j 15"],
+ "ADDLAYER" : ["${BUILDDIR}/../meta-selftest"]
+ }
+ },
+ </literallayout>Combining
+ these two entries you can see that "qemux86-64" is a three step build where the
+ <filename>bitbake BBTARGETS</filename> would be run, then <filename>bitbake
+ SANITYTARGETS</filename> for each step; all for
+ <filename>MACHINE="qemx86-64"</filename> but with differing SDKMACHINE settings. In
+ step 1 an extra variable is added to the <filename>auto.conf</filename> file to enable
+ wic image generation.</para>
+ <para>While not every detail of this is covered here, you can see how the templating
+ mechanism allows quite complex configurations to be built up yet allows duplication and
+ repetition to be kept to a minimum.</para>
+ <para>The different build targets are designed to allow for parallelisation, so different
+ machines are usually built in parallel, operations using the same machine and metadata
+ are built sequentially, with the aim of trying to optimise build efficiency as much as
+ possible.</para>
+ <para>The <filename>config.json</filename> file is processed by the scripts in the Helper
+ repository in the <filename>scripts</filename> directory. The following section details
+ how this works.</para>
+ </section>
+
+ <section id='test-autobuilder-target-exec-overview'>
+ <title>Autobuilder Target Execution Overview</title>
+
+ <para>For each given target in a build, the Autobuilder executes several steps. These are
+ configured in <filename>yocto-autobuilder2/builders.py</filename> and roughly consist
+ of: <orderedlist>
+ <listitem id='test-list-tgt-exec-clobberdir'>
+ <para><emphasis>Run <filename>clobberdir</filename></emphasis></para>
+ <para>This cleans out any previous build. Old builds are left around to allow
+ easier debugging of failed builds. For additional information, see <link
+ linkend="test-clobberdir"><filename>clobberdir</filename></link>.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para><emphasis>Obtain yocto-autobuilder-helper</emphasis></para>
+ <para>This step clones the <filename>yocto-autobuilder-helper</filename> git
+ repository. This is necessary to prevent the requirement to maintain all the
+ release or project-specific code within Buildbot. The branch chosen matches
+ the release being built so we can support older releases and still make
+ changes in newer ones.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para><emphasis>Write layerinfo.json</emphasis></para>
+ <para>This transfers data in the Buildbot UI when the build was configured to
+ the Helper.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para><emphasis>Call scripts/shared-repo-unpack</emphasis></para>
+ <para>This is a call into the Helper scripts to set up a checkout of all the
+ pieces this build might need. It might clone the BitBake repository and the
+ OpenEmbedded-Core repository. It may clone the Poky repository, as well as
+ additional layers. It will use the data from the
+ <filename>layerinfo.json</filename> file to help understand the
+ configuration. It will also use a local cache of repositories to speed up
+ the clone checkouts. For additional information, see <link
+ linkend="test-autobuilder-clone-cache">Autobuilder Clone
+ Cache</link>.</para>
+ <para>This step has two possible modes of operation. If the build is part of a
+ parent build, its possible that all the repositories needed may already be
+ available, ready in a pre-prepared directory. An "a-quick" or "a-full" build
+ would prepare this before starting the other sub-target builds. This is done
+ for two reasons:<itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>the upstream may change during a build, for example, from a
+ forced push and this ensures we have matching content for the
+ whole build</para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>if 15 Workers all tried to pull the same data from the same
+ repos, we can hit resource limits on upstream servers as they
+ can think they are under some kind of network attack</para>
+ </listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>This pre-prepared directory is shared among the Workers over
+ NFS. If the build is an individual build and there is no "shared" directory
+ available, it would clone from the cache and the upstreams as necessary.
+ This is considered the fallback mode.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para><emphasis>Call scripts/run-config</emphasis></para>
+ <para>This is another call into the Helper scripts where its expected that the
+ main functionality of this target will be executed.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ </orderedlist></para>
+ </section>
+ <section id='test-autobuilder-tech'>
+ <title>Autobuilder Technology</title>
+ <para>The Autobuilder has Yocto Project-specific functionality to allow builds to operate
+ with increased efficiency and speed.</para>
+ <section id='test-clobberdir'>
+ <title>clobberdir</title>
+ <para>When deleting files, the Autobuilder uses <filename>clobberdir</filename>, which
+ is a special script that moves files to a special location, rather than deleting
+ them. Files in this location are deleted by an <filename>rm</filename> command,
+ which is run under <filename>ionice -c 3</filename>. For example, the deletion only
+ happens when there is idle IO capacity on the Worker. The Autobuilder Worker Janitor
+ runs this deletion. See <link linkend="test-autobuilder-worker-janitor">Autobuilder
+ Worker Janitor</link>.</para>
+ </section>
+ <section id='test-autobuilder-clone-cache'>
+ <title>Autobuilder Clone Cache</title>
+ <para>Cloning repositories from scratch each time they are required was slow on the
+ Autobuilder. We therefore have a stash of commonly used repositories pre-cloned on
+ the Workers. Data is fetched from these during clones first, then "topped up" with
+ later revisions from any upstream when necesary. The cache is maintained by the
+ Autobuilder Worker Janitor. See <link linkend="test-autobuilder-worker-janitor"
+ >Autobuilder Worker Janitor</link>.</para>
+ </section>
+ <section id='test-autobuilder-worker-janitor'>
+ <title>Autobuilder Worker Janitor</title>
+ <para>This is a process running on each Worker that performs two basic operations,
+ including background file deletion at IO idle (see <link
+ linkend="test-list-tgt-exec-clobberdir">Target Execution: clobberdir</link>) and
+ maintainenance of a cache of cloned repositories to improve the speed the system can
+ checkout repositories.</para>
+ </section>
+ <section id='test-shared-dl-dir'>
+ <title>Shared DL_DIR</title>
+ <para>The Workers are all connected over NFS which allows DL_DIR to be shared between
+ them. This reduces network accesses from the system and allows the build to be sped
+ up. Usage of the directory within the build system is designed to be able to be
+ shared over NFS.</para>
+ </section>
+ <section id='test-shared-sstate-cache'>
+ <title>Shared SSTATE_DIR</title>
+ <para>The Workers are all connected over NFS which allows the
+ <filename>sstate</filename> directory to be shared between them. This means once
+ a Worker has built an artefact, all the others can benefit from it. Usage of the
+ directory within the directory is designed for sharing over NFS.</para>
+ </section>
+ <section id='test-resulttool'>
+ <title>Resulttool</title>
+ <para>All of the different tests run as part of the build generate output into
+ <filename>testresults.json</filename> files. This allows us to determine which
+ tests ran in a given build and their status. Additional information, such as failure
+ logs or the time taken to run the tests, may also be included.</para>
+ <para>Resulttool is part of OpenEmbedded-Core and is used to manipulate these json
+ results files. It has the ability to merge files together, display reports of the
+ test results and compare different result files.</para>
+ <para>For details, see <link linkend=""
+ >https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Resulttool</link>.</para>
+ </section>
+ </section>
+ <section id='test-run-config-tgt-execution'>
+ <title>run-config Target Execution</title>
+ <para>The <filename>scripts/run-config</filename> execution is where most of the work within
+ the Autobuilder happens. It runs through a number of steps; the first are general setup
+ steps that are run once and include:<orderedlist>
+ <listitem>

+ <title>Deploying Yocto Autobuilder</title>
+ <para>The most up to date information about how to setup and deploy your own Autbuilder can
+ be found in README.md in the <filename>yocto-autobuilder2</filename> repository.</para>
+ <para>We hope that people can use the <filename>yocto-autobuilder2</filename> code directly
+ but it is inevitable that users will end up needing to heavily customise the
+ <filename>yocto-autobuilder-helper</filename> repository, particularly the
+ <filename>config.json</filename> file as they will want to define their own test
+ matrix.</para>
+ <para>The Autobuilder supports wo customization options: <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>variable substitution</para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>overlaying configuration files</para>
+ </listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>The standard <filename>config.json</filename> minimally attempts to allow
+ substitution of the paths. The Helper script repository includes a
+ <filename>local-example.json</filename> file to show how you could override these
+ from a separate configuration file. Pass the following into the environment of the
+ Autobuilder:<literallayout class="monospaced">
+ $ ABHELPER_JSON="config.json local-example.json"
+ </literallayout>As
+ another example, you could also pass the following into the
+ environment:<literallayout class="monospaced">
+ $ ABHELPER_JSON="config.json <replaceable>/some/location/</replaceable>local.json"
+ </literallayout>One
+ issue users often run into is validation of the <filename>config.json</filename> files.
+ A tip for minimizing issues from invalid json files is to use a Git
+ <filename>pre-commit-hook.sh</filename> script to verify the JSON file before
+ committing it. Create a symbolic link as
+ follows:<literallayout class="monospaced">
+ $ ln -s ../../scripts/pre-commit-hook.sh .git/hooks/pre-commit
+ </literallayout></para>
