Akonadi Test and Benchmark Infrastructure

Akonadi Testrunner

Igor's GSoC project, found in kdepimlibs/akonadi/tests/testrunner. The Akonadi Testrunner sets up an isolated Akonadi server (which implies a separated D-Bus server) based on an environment configuration file.

Creating Testrunner Environments

Documentation based on Igor's mail to kde-pim ML:

First you need create a configuration file in KStandardDirs config resource type (try to use: kde4-config --path config, to find the path in my case the path is /usr/share/kde4/config) , the configuration file is a xml and look like:

<config>

 <kdehome>/home/igor/kde/installs/trunk </kdehome>
 <confighome>/home/igor/codes/kde/tests/test_akonadi/</confighome>
 <datahome>/home/igor/codes/kde/tests/test_akonadi/data</datahome>
 <agent>akonadi_ical_resource</agent>
 <agent>akonadi_vcard_resource</agent>
 <item location="/path/to/file.vcf"
       collection="akonadi_vcard_resource_0"/>

</config>

Using the Testrunner

Interactive Use

After that you only needs to run the testrunner:

%./akonaditest

and it creates a shell script file in your current directory called testenvironment.sh and you just need to run it.

%source testenvironment.sh

And right now you have a self contained Akonadi server.

Non-Interactive Use

kdepimlibs/akonadi/tests uses the Akonadi Testrunner to run unittests in an isolated environment. For automated usage, the testrunner can be used in a non-interactive way:

$ akonaditest -c config.xml <comand> <params>

The testrunner will run command params within the isolated environment and terminate afterwards.

This can be used from within CMake (example based on kdepimlibs/akonadi/tests):

macro(add_akonadi_isolated_test _source)

 set(_test ${_source})
 get_filename_component(_name ${_source} NAME_WE)
 kde4_add_executable(${_name} TEST ${_test})
 target_link_libraries(${_name}
   akonadi-kde akonadi-kmime ${QT_QTTEST_LIBRARY}
   ${QT_QTGUI_LIBRARY} ${KDE4_KDECORE_LIBS}
 )

 # based on kde4_add_unit_test
 if (WIN32)
   get_target_property( _loc ${_name} LOCATION )
   set(_executable ${_loc}.bat)
 else (WIN32)
   set(_executable ${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}/${_name})
 endif (WIN32)
 if (UNIX)
   set(_executable ${_executable}.shell)
 endif (UNIX)

 find_program(_testrunner akonaditest)

 add_test( libakonadi-${_name} 
   ${_testrunner} -c
   ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/unittestenv/config.xml
   ${_executable} 
 )

endmacro(add_akonadi_isolated_test)

KNUT Test Data Resource

In kdepim/akonadi/resources, fully featured resource that operates on a single XML file. File format is decribed in knut.xsd and follows closely the internal structure of Akonadi. New files can be created in eg. Akonadiconsole by creating a resource and specifying a non-existing file.

Akonadi Scriptable Resource

Second part of Igor's GSoC project, currently in playground/pim/akonaditest.

TODO

Akonadi Benchmarker

In kdepimlibs/akonadi/test, part of Robert's thesis.

TODO

Unittests

Akonadi Server

Usable without installation, run with ctest/make test as usual.

kdepimlbs/akonadi

These tests use the Akonadi Testrunner, the test environment is found in kdepimlibs/akonadi/tests/unittestenv.

Setup

The tests do not yet completely work without having certain components installed, namely:

• Akonadi Server
• KNUT resource

Running the tests

The tests can be run automatically using ctest/make test as usual. To run a single test manually, it needs to be executed using the Akonadi testrunner:

$ cd kdepimlibs/akonadi/test $ akonaditest -c unittest/config.xml $BUILDDIR/test_executable.shell

kdepim/akonadi

Are there any? TODO
