I've started a python framework for writing tests that start/stop
multiple brokers, in particular for cluster tests but could be used for
federation tests etc.
The framework is in python/qpid/brokertest.py, example of use in
cpp/src/tests/cluster_tests.py
Features include:
- separate working dir for each test, named after the test.
- brokers are named, each broker has own data dir and log files under
test dir
- easy to start brokers, clusters and other executables (e.g. the
cluster_tests use the sender/receiver binaries)
- unique cluster names, can run multiple instances on the same subnet
- kills all started processes during teardown, verifies that status
matches test expectation (exit ok, exit failure or still running)
- can register other resources for cleanup on teardown - currently
anything with a stop() method but we can easily extend that.
- some convenience methods for declaring queues, sending/receiving
messages using the new python API, this set will grow
I'll be using this for cluster testing I'll be happy to help anyone who
wants to use it for other purposes, contributions welcome!
Cheers,
Alan.
