Development Environment

Basic Setup

Follow these instructions to set up a TMC test framework development environment:

1. Download and install Ruby 2.4.3-1 64-bit for Windows. Follow prompts to install MSYS2.

2. Make sure the correct gems are installed. Navigate to the Ruby "bin" folder, then paste:

   Windows

   gem.cmd install nokogiri -v 1.8.0
   gem.cmd install minitest -v 5.10.3
   gem.cmd install selenium-client -v 1.2.18
   gem.cmd install snmp -v 1.2.0
   gem.cmd install aws-sdk-s3 -v 1.8.0
   

   Mac OS

   sudo ./gem install nokogiri -v 1.8.0
   sudo ./gem install minitest -v 5.10.3
   sudo ./gem install selenium-client -v 1.2.18
   sudo ./gem install snmp -v 1.2.0
   sudo ./gem install aws-sdk-s3 -v 1.8.0
   

3. Install a Git client and clone this repository (use HTTPS clone URL).

4. Install and configure a Ruby IDE (see VS Code Setup or IntelliJ Setup).

5. To run tests, you must execute run_test.rb from the top-level directory with script arguments:

   >ruby.exe run_test.rb path=<script path> devices=<device> id=<test id> job=<job id> level=<log level> host=<tmc ip> auth=<base-64 auth token>
   

   Example run command:

   >ruby.exe run_test.rb path=test_cases/sandbox/sandbox.rb devices=1 id=1 job=166d813a-7f36-448e-9e16-f99848ccc38e level=debug host=10.143.27.81 auth=dHd******3IQ==

VS Code Setup

Follow these instructions to configure VS Code for TMC test framework development:

1. Install Visual Studio Code.

2. Launch VS Code and install the Ruby extension via Extensions (Ctrl+Shift+X).

3. Follow the instructions in the documentation for the Ruby extension; typically you will need to install the following gems: ruby-debug-ide, debase, rcodetools, rubocop.

4. Enable the Ruby helpers via File > Preferences > Settings, search for "ruby", and configure the following:

   • Ruby: Code Completion => rcodetools
   • Ruby: Format => rubocop
   • Ruby: Intellisense => rubyLocate
   • (if you have multiple Rubies installed) Ruby > Interpreter: Command Path => c:/Ruby24-x64/bin/ruby

5. Load the project via File > Open Folder and choose the location where you cloned the repository (usually "Development" or its parent folder).

6. Select Debug > Add Configuration... and choose Ruby as the interpreter.

7. In launch.json (should open automatically after the previous step), modify the configuration named Debug Local File as follows:

   {
       "name": "Debug Local File",
       "type": "Ruby",
       "request": "launch",
       "cwd": "${workspaceRoot}",
       "program": "${workspaceRoot}/run_test.rb",
       "args": [
           "host=<tmc ip>",
           "id=<test id>",
           "devices=<device>",
           "job=<job id>",
           "level=<log level>",
           "path=<script path>,
           "auth=<base-64 auth token>"
       ]
   }
   

   Example:

   {
       "name": "Debug Local File",
       "type": "Ruby",
       "request": "launch",
       "cwd": "${workspaceRoot}",
       "program": "${workspaceRoot}/run_test.rb",
       "args": [
           "host=twcltbeta.tmcserver.com",
           "id=1",
           "devices=2",
           "job=4cc977fa-f576-453e-90b1-90ec6600a9d7",
           "path=sandbox/sandbox.rb",
           "auth=Yy***Ts="
       ]
   }
   

8. Finally, select Debug (Ctrl+Shift+D), ensure Debug Local File is selected, and click the "play" button (F5) to start debugging.

IntelliJ Setup

Follow these instructions to configure IntelliJ for TMC test framework development:

1. Install IntelliJ.

2. Launch IntelliJ and install the Ruby plugin via Settings > Plugins > Install Jetbrains Plugin.

3. Create a new project via File > New Project > Ruby Module:

   1. Set Project Location to where you cloned the repository (usually "Development" or its parent folder)

   ii. Configure and select the Ruby SDK (use local path to ruby.exe).

4. Open run_test.rb and run it. This will fail but will create a run configuration.

5. Click Run > Edit Configurations, select the one named "run_test" and configure it as follows:

   1. Script arguments:

   path=<script path> devices=<device> id=<test id> job=<job id> level=<log level> host=<tmc ip> auth=<base-64 auth token>
   

   Example script arguments:

   path=test_cases/sandbox/sandbox.rb devices=1 id=1 job=166d813a-7f36-448e-9e16-f99848ccc38e level=debug host=10.143.27.81 auth=dHd******3IQ==
   

   ii. Working directory: Erase everything after "Development".

Style

• All Ruby code in the TMC test framework should adhere to this style guide.
• As prescribed in the aforementioned Style Guide, all documentation should be formatted per TomDoc.
