# OpenBB Terminal : `Integration Testing` This document is part of the `OpenBB Terminal` library documentation. It aims to provide necessary information in order to: - Build `integration tests` - Run `integration tests` - Identify errors noted from `integration tests` ## 1.1. Why have integration tests ? The purpose of integration tests is to provide standard usage examples that can be programmatically run to make sure that a specific functionality of the terminal and the process to utilize that functionality is working properly. ## 2. How to build integration tests ? Integration tests themselves are the same as manually running a certain series of steps. As a result, writing tests is easy because the integration test script is just the total list of steps necessary to use a command, command with specific argument, or series of commands. When you contribute a new feature to the Terminal, it's important that integration tests are added for this particular feature. It is a part of the Checklist for the PR to be approved. All the `integration tests` should be insides the `scripts` folder. The naming convention for scripts should be `test__.openbb` if you are testing a specific command or `test_.openbb` if you are testing the entire menu. However, it is encouraged to create as specific of integration tests as possible to identify errors more precisely. Additionally, all tests must end with the `exit` command. These files can be given dynamic output with the following syntax `${key=default}`. Please note that both key and default can only contain letters and numbers with NO special characters. Each dynamic argument MUST contain a key and a default value. ## 3. How integration tests detect bugs ? When an unhandled exception is raised during a test session, this is considered a bug. The exception is caught and we save its traceback and other details to debug afterwards. ### Script examples Testing a specific command and it's arguments: ```zsh script: test_alt_covid.openbb - - - - - - - - - - alternative covid country Australia reset slopes country US ov country Russia deaths country United Kingdom cases country Canada rates exit ``` Testing an entire menu ```zsh test_stocks_options.openbb - - - - - - - - - - stocks options screen view view high_IV set high_IV scr q unu calc load aapl exp 0 pcr info chains oi vol voi hist 100 grhist 100 plot -x ltd -y iv parity binom load spy vsurf exit ``` ## 3. How to run integration tests ? ### Conda Terminal After navigating to the location of the OpenBBTerminal repo, one can run integration tests in a few different ways using the wildcard expression. Please include a `-t` with `terminal.py` to run the tests. - To see the available tests, use `--list` or `-l`: ```zsh python terminal.py -t -l ``` - Run all integration tests: ```zsh python terminal.py -t ``` - Run some integration tests, by number, name or path: ```zsh python terminal.py -t -p 0 10 22 ``` ```zsh python terminal.py -t -p stocks cryptocurrency ``` *This specific example runs all of the stocks integration tests. One can use this same format for different tests.* ```zsh python terminal.py -t openbb_terminal/core/integration_tests/scripts/forex ``` - Run one integration test: ```zsh python terminal.py -t -p alternative/test_alt_covid.openbb ``` *Note that the base path is `OpenBBTerminal/openbb_terminal/core/integration_tests/scripts`.* - Skip some integration tests: ```zsh python terminal.py -t -p alternative -s alternative/test_alt_covid.openbb ``` - Run integration tests with arguments by adding --key=value: ```zsh python terminal.py -t --ticker=aapl ``` - To see the possible keys, use `--help` or `-h`: ```zsh python terminal.py -t -h ``` - To save time, the tests are run in parallel by default. You can choose the number of subprocesses used with `--subproc`. The default number of subprocesses is the minimum between the number of scripts to run and the number of CPUs of your machine. ```zsh python terminal.py -t forex --subproc 4 ``` - To have a more responsive console output we run the tests in parallel and return the output of each script as soon as it is ready. This means that test results might not be displayed in the same order as they were started. To force displaying tests results in the order they start, use the option `--ordered`: ```zsh python terminal.py -t --ordered ``` - To see terminal outputs being printed during the test session, use `--verbose` or `-v`: ```zsh python terminal.py -t -v ``` - To run the tests sequentially (it will be way slower for a large number of scripts), use `--subproc 0`: ```zsh python terminal.py -t --subproc 0 ``` - Enabling verbose mode and running scripts in several processes will mix the output each script in the console. In this case it is advisable to run tests with the option `--subproc 0`, this will run the tests sequentially. It will be slower, but the outputs of each test will not be mixed up. ```zsh python terminal.py -t forex --subproc 0 -v ``` ### Installer Terminal Integration tests can also be used on installers, which is a packaged version of the conda terminal. More information on how to build an installer can be found [here](/build/README.md). To run the tests on installers you can use the same syntax as above, just substitute `python terminal.py` by the full path to OpenBBTerminal executable (not the shortcut!). See the examples below for MacOS. - Run all integration tests: ```zsh /Full/Path/To/OpenBB\ Terminal/.OpenBB/OpenBBTerminal -t ``` - Run some integration tests: ```zsh /Full/Path/To/OpenBB\ Terminal/.OpenBB/OpenBBTerminal -t forex stocks ``` - Run one integration test: ```zsh /Full/Path/To/OpenBB\ Terminal/.OpenBB/OpenBBTerminal -t alternative/test_alt_covid.openbb ``` - Get integration test coverage: ```zsh /Full/Path/To/OpenBB\ Terminal/.OpenBB/OpenBBTerminal -t --coverage ``` ## 4. Test report The console report has 3 sections: progress, failures and summary. - Progress 1. Shows the tests collected and skipped in the current session 2. Informs if tests are running in parallel or sequentially 3. Displays the result of tests already finished - Failures 1. Traceback 2. Exception type 3. Detail with exception message - Summary 1. Displays tests failed with the last command called and how long they took to run - Example ```zsh (obb) % python terminal.py -t forex ============================ integration test session starts ============================= Collecting scripts from: /Users/username/OpenBBTerminal/openbb_terminal/core/integration_tests/scripts * Collected 7 script(s)... * Skipping 0 script(s)... * Running 7 script(s) in 7 parallel subprocess(es)... forex/test_forex_av.openbb [ 14%] forex/test_forex_base.openbb [ 29%] forex/test_forex_load.openbb [ 43%] forex/test_forex_oanda.openbb [ 57%] forex/test_forex_oanda_base.openbb [ 71%] forex/test_forex_qa.openbb [ 86%] forex/test_forex_ta.openbb [100%] ======================================== FAILURES ======================================== ------------------------------- forex/test_forex_qa.openbb ------------------------------- Traceback: File "/Users/username/OpenBBTerminal/openbb_terminal/core/integration_tests/integration_controller.py", line 299, in run_test run_scripts( File "/Users/username/OpenBBTerminal/openbb_terminal/core/integration_tests/integration_controller.py", line 272, in run_scripts terminal(file_cmds, test_mode=True) File "/Users/username/OpenBBTerminal/openbb_terminal/terminal_controller.py", line 905, in terminal t_controller.queue = t_controller.switch(an_input) File "/Users/username/OpenBBTerminal/openbb_terminal/decorators.py", line 64, in wrapper value = func(*args, **kwargs) File "/Users/username/OpenBBTerminal/openbb_terminal/parent_classes.py", line 363, in switch getattr( File "/Users/username/OpenBBTerminal/openbb_terminal/terminal_controller.py", line 401, in call_forex self.queue = self.load_class(ForexController, self.queue) File "/Users/username/OpenBBTerminal/openbb_terminal/parent_classes.py", line 219, in load_class return class_ins(*args, **kwargs).menu() File "/Users/username/OpenBBTerminal/openbb_terminal/parent_classes.py", line 934, in menu self.queue = self.switch(an_input) File "/Users/username/OpenBBTerminal/openbb_terminal/decorators.py", line 64, in wrapper value = func(*args, **kwargs) File "/Users/username/OpenBBTerminal/openbb_terminal/parent_classes.py", line 363, in switch getattr( File "/Users/username/OpenBBTerminal/openbb_terminal/decorators.py", line 64, in wrapper value = func(*args, **kwargs) File "/Users/username/OpenBBTerminal/openbb_terminal/forex/forex_controller.py", line 434, in call_qa 1 / 0 Exception type: ZeroDivisionError Detail: division by zero - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ================================ integration test summary ================================ FAILED forex/test_forex_qa.openbb -> command: qa ============================== 1 failed, 6 passed in 8.88s =============================== ```
