This projects hopes to make it easy to do automated testing of OS images. This test framework is based on robotframework. The included resources should make it easy to write tests in Gherkin.

The resources directory contains Robot Keyword helpers for resincli and hardware specific .robot files. This could be extended to add helpers for other cli tools and hardware. We have included a Dockerfile to setup the environment required to run the example.

• Clone this repo and change your directory to it.

• Build the autohat container by running the following command:

  docker build -t autohat .

• Build a resin-qemux86 or resin-qemux86-64 image from https://github.com/resin-os/resin-qemu/

• Alternatively you can also download an uninitialized resin-qemux86 or resin-qemux86-64 image from resin by executing:

  resin os download qemux86 -o resin.img or

  resin os download qemux86-64 -o resin.img

• Create a env.list with all the environment variables needed to run the tests - Please check env.list.example for a sample environment file.

  • WARNING! The application name given needs to be unique as the test suite will delete and recreate any existing application and key of the same name in the settings.

• Load the KVM module

• Execute the following to run an example test against the resin-qemux86 or resin-qemux86-64 image you just downloaded.

  docker run -it --rm -v <path_to_repo>:/autohat -v /dev/:/dev2 --privileged --env-file ./env.list autohat robot --exitonerror /autohat/qemu.robot

• Clone this repo and change your directory to it.

• Build the autohat container by running the following command:

  docker build -t autohat .

• Build the device specific resin image or download an uninitialized image from resin by executing:

  resin os download raspberrypi3 -o resin.img

• Create a env.list with all the environment variables needed to run the tests - Please check env.list.example for a sample environment file.

  • Please make sure that the rig_device_id, rig_sd_card match your rig's FTDI serial, the SD card path respectively

  • WARNING! The application name given needs to be unique as the test suite will delete and recreate any existing application and key of the same name in the settings.

• Execute the following to run an example test against the raspberrypi3 image you just downloaded.

  docker run -it --rm -v <path_to_repo>:/autohat -v /dev/:/dev2 --privileged --env-file ./env.list autohat robot --exitonerror /autohat/raspberrypi3.robot
