Elasticsearch uses jUnit for testing, it also uses randomness in the
tests, that can be set using a seed, the following is a cheatsheet of
options for running the tests for ES.
== Creating packages
To create a distribution without running the tests, simply run the
following:
-----------------------------
mvn clean package -DskipTests
-----------------------------
== Other test options
To disable and enable network transport, set the `ES_TEST_LOCAL`
environment variable.
Use network transport (default):
------------------------------------
export ES_TEST_LOCAL=false && mvn test
------------------------------------
Use local transport:
-------------------------------------
export ES_TEST_LOCAL=true && mvn test
-------------------------------------
Wait on mapping changes:
------------------------------------------------
export ES_WAIT_ON_MAPPING_CHANGE=true && mvn test
------------------------------------------------
=== Test case filtering.
- `tests.class` is a class-filtering shell-like glob pattern,
- `tests.method` is a method-filtering glob pattern.
Run a single test case (variants)
----------------------------------------------------------
mvn test -Dtests.class=org.elasticsearch.package.ClassName
mvn test "-Dtests.class=*.ClassName"
----------------------------------------------------------
Run all tests in a package and sub-packages
----------------------------------------------------
mvn test "-Dtests.class=org.elasticsearch.package.*"
----------------------------------------------------
Run any test methods that contain 'esi' (like: ...r*esi*ze...).
-------------------------------
mvn test "-Dtests.method=*esi*"
-------------------------------
=== Seed and repetitions.
Run with a given seed (seed is a hex-encoded long).
------------------------------
mvn test -Dtests.seed=DEADBEEF
------------------------------
=== Repeats _all_ tests of ClassName N times.
Every test repetition will have a different seed.
--------------------------------------------------
mvn test -Dtests.iters=N -Dtests.class=*.ClassName
--------------------------------------------------
=== Repeats _all_ tests of ClassName N times.
Every test repetition will have exactly the same master (dead) and
method-level (beef) seed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
mvn test -Dtests.iters=N -Dtests.class=*.ClassName -Dtests.seed=DEADBEEF
------------------------------------------------------------------------
=== Repeats a given test N times
(note the filters - individual test repetitions are given suffixes,
ie: testFoo[0], testFoo[1], etc... so using testmethod or tests.method
ending in a glob is necessary to ensure iterations are run).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
mvn test -Dtests.iters=N -Dtests.class=*.ClassName -Dtests.method=mytest*
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Repeats N times but skips any tests after the first failure or M initial failures.
-------------------------------------------------------------
mvn test -Dtests.iters=N -Dtests.failfast=true -Dtestcase=...
mvn test -Dtests.iters=N -Dtests.maxfailures=M -Dtestcase=...
-------------------------------------------------------------
=== Test groups.
Test groups can be enabled or disabled (true/false).
Default value provided below in [brackets].
------------------------------------------------------------------
mvn test -Dtests.nightly=[false] - nightly test group (@Nightly)
mvn test -Dtests.weekly=[false] - weekly tests (@Weekly)
mvn test -Dtests.awaitsfix=[false] - known issue (@AwaitsFix)
mvn test -Dtests.slow=[true] - slow tests (@Slow)
------------------------------------------------------------------
=== Load balancing and caches.
Run sequentially (one slave JVM). By default, the tests run with 3
concurrent JVMs.
----------------------------
mvn test -Dtests.jvms=1 test
----------------------------
Run with more slave JVMs than the default. Don't count hypercores for
CPU-intense tests. Make sure there is enough RAM to handle child JVMs.
----------------------------
mvn test -Dtests.jvms=8 test
----------------------------
=== Miscellaneous.
Run all tests without stopping on errors (inspect log files).
-----------------------------------------
mvn test -Dtests.haltonfailure=false test
-----------------------------------------
Run more verbose output (slave JVM parameters, etc.).
----------------------
mvn test -verbose test
----------------------
Change the default suite timeout to 5 seconds.
---------------------------------------
mvn test -Dtests.timeoutSuite=5000! ...
---------------------------------------
Change the logging level of ES (not mvn)
--------------------------------
mvn test -Des.logger.level=DEBUG
--------------------------------
Print all the logging output from the test runs to the commandline
even if tests are passing.
------------------------------
mvn test -Dtests.output=always
------------------------------
== Testing the REST layer
The available integration tests make use of the java API to communicate with
the elasticsearch nodes, using the internal binary transport (port 9300 by
default).
The REST layer is tested through specific tests that are shared between all
the elasticsearch official clients and can be found on the
https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-rest-api-spec[elasticsearch-rest-api-spec project].
They consist of
https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-rest-api-spec/tree/master/test[YAML files]
that describe the operations to be executed and the obtained results that
need to be tested.
`ElasticsearchRestTests` is the executable test class that runs all the
yaml suites available through a git submodule within the `rest-spec` folder.
The submodule gets automatically initialized through maven right before
running tests (generate-test-resources phase).
The REST tests cannot be run without the files pulled from the submodule,
thus if the `rest-spec` folder is empty on your working copy, it means
that it needs to be initialized with the following command:
------------------------------
git submodule update --init
------------------------------
The following are the options supported by the REST tests runner:
* `tests.rest[true|false|host:port]`: determines whether the REST tests need
to be run and if so whether to rely on an external cluster (providing host
and port) or fire a test cluster (default)
* `tests.rest.suite`: comma separated paths of the test suites to be run
(by default loaded from /rest-spec/test). It is possible to run only a subset
of the tests providing a sub-folder or even a single yaml file (the default
/rest-spec/test prefix is optional when files are loaded from classpath)
e.g. -Dtests.rest.suite=index,get,create/10_with_id
* `tests.rest.spec`: REST spec path (default /rest-spec/api)
* `tests.iters`: runs multiple iterations
* `tests.seed`: seed to base the random behaviours on
* `tests.appendseed[true|false]`: enables adding the seed to each test
section's description (default false)
* `tests.cluster_seed`: seed used to create the test cluster (if enabled)
