This directory contains integration tests that test dashd and its
utilities in their entirety. It does not contain unit tests, which
can be found in [/src/test](/src/test), [/src/wallet/test](/src/wallet/test),
etc.
This directory contains the following sets of tests:
- [functional](/test/functional) which test the functionality of
dashd and dash-qt by interacting with them through the RPC and P2P
interfaces.
- [util](/test/util) which tests the dash utilities, currently only
dash-tx.
- [lint](/test/lint/) which perform various static analysis checks.
The util tests are run as part of `make check` target. The functional
tests and lint scripts can be run as explained in the sections below.
# Running tests locally
2021-06-29 00:39:58 +02:00
Before tests can be run locally, Dash Core must be built. See the [building instructions](/doc#building) for help.
### Functional tests
#### Dependencies and prerequisites
Many Dash specific tests require dash_hash. To install it:
- Clone the repo `git clone https://github.com/dashpay/dash_hash`
- Install dash_hash `cd dash_hash && pip3 install -r requirements.txt .`
The ZMQ functional test requires a python ZMQ library. To install it:
- on Unix, run `sudo apt-get install python3-zmq`
- on mac OS, run `pip3 install pyzmq`
On Windows the `PYTHONUTF8` environment variable must be set to 1:
```cmd
set PYTHONUTF8=1
```
#### Running the tests
Individual tests can be run by directly calling the test script, e.g.:
```
test/functional/wallet_hd.py
```
or can be run through the test_runner harness, eg:
```
test/functional/test_runner.py wallet_hd.py
```
You can run any combination (incl. duplicates) of tests by calling:
```
test/functional/test_runner.py <testname1> <testname2> <testname3> ...
```

2019-07-18 03:39:24 +02:00
Wildcard test names can be passed, if the paths are coherent and the test runner
is called from a `bash` shell or similar that does the globbing. For example,
to run all the wallet tests:
```
test/functional/test_runner.py test/functional/wallet*
functional/test_runner.py functional/wallet* (called from the test/ directory)
test_runner.py wallet* (called from the test/functional/ directory)
```
but not
```
test/functional/test_runner.py wallet*
```
Combinations of wildcards can be passed:
```
test/functional/test_runner.py ./test/functional/tool* test/functional/mempool*
test_runner.py tool* mempool*
```
Run the regression test suite with:
```
test/functional/test_runner.py
```
Run all possible tests with
```
test/functional/test_runner.py --extended
```
In order to run backwards compatibility tests, download the previous node binaries:
```
test/get_previous_releases.py -b v19.3.0 v18.2.2 v0.17.0.3 v0.16.1.1 v0.15.0.0
```
By default, up to 4 tests will be run in parallel by test_runner. To specify
how many jobs to run, append `--jobs=n`
The individual tests and the test_runner harness have many command-line
options. Run `test/functional/test_runner.py -h` to see them all.
#### Speed up test runs with a ramdisk
If you have available RAM on your system you can create a ramdisk to use as the `cache` and `tmp` directories for the functional tests in order to speed them up.
Speed-up amount varies on each system (and according to your ram speed and other variables), but a 2-3x speed-up is not uncommon.
To create a 4GB ramdisk on Linux at `/mnt/tmp/`:
```bash
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/tmp
sudo mount -t tmpfs -o size=4g tmpfs /mnt/tmp/
```
Configure the size of the ramdisk using the `size=` option.
The size of the ramdisk needed is relative to the number of concurrent jobs the test suite runs.
For example running the test suite with `--jobs=100` might need a 16GB ramdisk, but running with `--jobs=4` will only need a 4GB ramdisk.
To use, run the test suite specifying the ramdisk as the `cachedir` and `tmpdir`:
```bash
test/functional/test_runner.py --cachedir=/mnt/tmp/cache --tmpdir=/mnt/tmp
```
Once finished with the tests and the disk, and to free the ram, simply unmount the disk:
```bash
sudo umount /mnt/tmp
```
#### Troubleshooting and debugging test failures
##### Resource contention
The P2P and RPC ports used by the dashd nodes-under-test are chosen to make
conflicts with other processes unlikely. However, if there is another dashd
process running on the system (perhaps from a previous test which hasn't successfully
killed all its dashd nodes), then there may be a port conflict which will
cause the test to fail. It is recommended that you run the tests on a system
where no other dashd processes are running.
On linux, the test framework will warn if there is another
dashd process running when the tests are started.
If there are zombie dashd processes after test failure, you can kill them
by running the following commands. **Note that these commands will kill all
dashd processes running on the system, so should not be used if any non-test
dashd processes are being run.**
```bash
killall dashd
```
or
```bash
pkill -9 dashd
```
##### Data directory cache
A pre-mined blockchain with 200 blocks is generated the first time a
functional test is run and is stored in test/cache. This speeds up
test startup times since new blockchains don't need to be generated for
each test. However, the cache may get into a bad state, in which case
tests will fail. If this happens, remove the cache directory (and make
sure dashd processes are stopped as above):
```bash
rm -rf test/cache
killall dashd
```
##### Test logging
The tests contain logging at five different levels (DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR
and CRITICAL). From within your functional tests you can log to these different
levels using the logger included in the test_framework, e.g.
`self.log.debug(object)`. By default:
- when run through the test_runner harness, *all* logs are written to
`test_framework.log` and no logs are output to the console.
- when run directly, *all* logs are written to `test_framework.log` and INFO
level and above are output to the console.
- when run by [our CI (Continuous Integration)](/ci/README.md), no logs are output to the console. However, if a test
fails, the `test_framework.log` and dashd `debug.log`s will all be dumped
to the console to help troubleshooting.
These log files can be located under the test data directory (which is always
printed in the first line of test output):
- `<test data directory>/test_framework.log`
- `<test data directory>/node<node number>/regtest/debug.log`.
The node number identifies the relevant test node, starting from `node0`, which
corresponds to its position in the nodes list of the specific test,
e.g. `self.nodes[0]`.
To change the level of logs output to the console, use the `-l` command line
argument.
`test_framework.log` and dashd `debug.log`s can be combined into a single
aggregate log by running the `combine_logs.py` script. The output can be plain
text, colorized text or html. For example:
```
test/functional/combine_logs.py -c <test data directory> | less -r
```
will pipe the colorized logs from the test into less.
Use `--tracerpc` to trace out all the RPC calls and responses to the console. For
some tests (eg any that use `submitblock` to submit a full block over RPC),
this can result in a lot of screen output.
By default, the test data directory will be deleted after a successful run.
Use `--nocleanup` to leave the test data directory intact. The test data
directory is never deleted after a failed test.
##### Attaching a debugger
A python debugger can be attached to tests at any point. Just add the line:
```py
import pdb; pdb.set_trace()
```
anywhere in the test. You will then be able to inspect variables, as well as
call methods that interact with the dashd nodes-under-test.
If further introspection of the dashd instances themselves becomes
necessary, this can be accomplished by first setting a pdb breakpoint
at an appropriate location, running the test to that point, then using
`gdb` (or `lldb` on macOS) to attach to the process and debug.
For instance, to attach to `self.node[1]` during a run you can get
the pid of the node within `pdb`.
```
(pdb) self.node[1].process.pid
```
Alternatively, you can find the pid by inspecting the temp folder for the specific test
you are running. The path to that folder is printed at the beginning of every
test run:
```bash
2017-06-27 14:13:56.686000 TestFramework (INFO): Initializing test directory /tmp/user/1000/testo9vsdjo3
```
Use the path to find the pid file in the temp folder:
```bash
cat /tmp/user/1000/testo9vsdjo3/node1/regtest/dashd.pid
```
Then you can use the pid to start `gdb`:
```bash
gdb /home/example/dashd <pid>
```
Note: gdb attach step may require ptrace_scope to be modified, or `sudo` preceding the `gdb`.

Merge #18986: tests: Add capability to disable RPC timeout in functional tests 38c3dd9c706e7e84b2a4dbaf1424a3f1c3b694fc docs: Add notes on how to diasble rpc timeout in functional tests while attatching gdb. (codeShark149) 784ae096259955ea7a294114f5c021c9489d2717 test: Add capability to disable RPC timeout in functional tests. (codeShark149) Pull request description: Many times, especially while debugging RPC callbacks to core using gdb, the test timeout kicks in before the response can get back. This can be annoying and requires restarting the functional test as well as gdb attachment. This PR adds a `--notimeout` flag into `test_framework` and sets the `rpc_timeout` accordingly if the flag is set. The same effect can be achieved with newly added `--factor` flag but keeping a separate flag that explicitly disables the timeout can be easier for new testers to find it out and separates its purpose from the `--factor` flag. Requesting review ryanofsky jnewbery as per the IRC discussion. Update: After initial round of review, the approach is modified to accommodate the functionality in already existing `--factor` flag. `--factor` is changed to `--timeout-factor` to express its intent better.

2020-05-19 02:00:24 +02:00
Often while debugging rpc calls from functional tests, the test might reach timeout before
process can return a response. Use `--timeout-factor 0` to disable all rpc timeouts for that partcular
functional test. Ex: `test/functional/wallet_hd.py --timeout-factor 0`.
Merge #14519: tests: add utility to easily profile node performance with perf 13782b8ba8 docs: add perf section to developer docs (James O'Beirne) 58180b5fd4 tests: add utility to easily profile node performance with perf (James O'Beirne) Pull request description: Adds a context manager to easily (and selectively) profile node performance during functional test execution using `perf`. While writing some tests, I encountered some odd bitcoind slowness. I wrote up a utility (`TestNode.profile_with_perf`) that generates performance diagnostics for a node by running `perf` during the execution of a particular region of test code. `perf` usage is detailed in the excellent (and sadly unmerged) https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/12649; all due props to @eklitzke. ### Example ```python with node.profile_with_perf("large-msgs"): for i in range(200): node.p2p.send_message(some_large_msg) node.p2p.sync_with_ping() ``` This generates a perf data file in the test node's datadir (`/tmp/testtxmpod0y/node0/node-0-TestName-large-msgs.perf.data`). Running `perf report` generates nice output about where the node spent most of its time while running that part of the test: ```bash $ perf report -i /tmp/testtxmpod0y/node0/node-0-TestName-large-msgs.perf.data --stdio \ | c++filt \ | less # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options. # # # Total Lost Samples: 0 # # Samples: 135 of event 'cycles:pp' # Event count (approx.): 1458205679493582 # # Children Self Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ ........ ............... ................... ........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ # 70.14% 0.00% bitcoin-net bitcoind [.] CNode::ReceiveMsgBytes(char const*, unsigned int, bool&) | ---CNode::ReceiveMsgBytes(char const*, unsigned int, bool&) 70.14% 0.00% bitcoin-net bitcoind [.] CNetMessage::readData(char const*, unsigned int) | ---CNetMessage::readData(char const*, unsigned int) CNode::ReceiveMsgBytes(char const*, unsigned int, bool&) 35.52% 0.00% bitcoin-net bitcoind [.] std::vector<char, zero_after_free_allocator<char> >::_M_fill_insert(__gnu_cxx::__normal_iterator<char*, std::vector<char, zero_after_free_allocator<char> > >, unsigned long, char const&) | ---std::vector<char, zero_after_free_allocator<char> >::_M_fill_insert(__gnu_cxx::__normal_iterator<char*, std::vector<char, zero_after_free_allocator<char> > >, unsigned long, char const&) CNetMessage::readData(char const*, unsigned int) CNode::ReceiveMsgBytes(char const*, unsigned int, bool&) ... ``` Tree-SHA512: 9ac4ceaa88818d5eca00994e8e3c8ad42ae019550d6583972a0a4f7b0c4f61032e3d0c476b4ae58756bc5eb8f8015a19a7fc26c095bd588f31d49a37ed0c6b3e

##### Profiling
An easy way to profile node performance during functional tests is provided
for Linux platforms using `perf`.
Perf will sample the running node and will generate profile data in the node's
datadir. The profile data can then be presented using `perf report` or a graphical
tool like [hotspot](https://github.com/KDAB/hotspot).
To generate a profile during test suite runs, use the `--perf` flag.
To see render the output to text, run
```sh
perf report -i /path/to/datadir/send-big-msgs.perf.data.xxxx --stdio | c++filt | less
```
For ways to generate more granular profiles, see the README in
[test/functional](/test/functional).
### Util tests
Util tests can be run locally by running `test/util/bitcoin-util-test.py`.
Use the `-v` option for verbose output.
