集成测试

This topic explains how to run (and extend) PX4's ROS-based integration tests.

MAVSDK Integration Testing is preferred when writing new tests. Use the ROS-based integration test framework for use cases that require ROS (e.g. object avoidance).

All PX4 integraton tests are executed automatically by our Continuous Integration system.

ROS / MAVROS 测试

Execute Tests

To run the MAVROS tests:

sh
cd <Firmware_clone>
source integrationtests/setup_gazebo_ros.bash $(pwd)
rostest px4 mavros_posix_tests_iris.launch

test_target is a makefile targets from the set: tests_mission, tests_mission_coverage, tests_offboard and tests_avoidance.

Test can also be executed directly by running the test scripts, located under test/:

sh
rostest px4 mavros_posix_tests_iris.launch gui:=true headless:=false

launch/mavros_posix_tests_irisl.launch 中添加测试组中的新条目:

sh
./test/rostest_px4_run.sh mavros_posix_tests_offboard_posctl.test

如上所述运行完整的测试套件。

sh
# 开始仿真
cd <Firmware_clone>
source integrationtests/setup_gazebo_ros.bash $(pwd)
roslaunch px4 mavros_posix_sitl.launch

# 运行测试(在新的 shell 中):
cd <Firmware_clone>
source integrationtests/setup_gazebo_ros.bash $(pwd)
rosrun px4 mavros_new_test.py

The .test files launch the corresponding Python tests defined in integrationtests/python_src/px4_it/mavros/

Write a New MAVROS Test (Python)

This section explains how to write a new python test using ROS 1/MAVROS, test it, and add it to the PX4 test suite.

We recommend you review the existing tests as examples/inspiration (integrationtests/python_src/px4_it/mavros/). The official ROS documentation also contains information on how to use unittest (on which this test suite is based).

To write a new test:

  1. Create a new test script by copying the empty test skeleton below:

    python
    #!/usr/bin/env python
    # [... LICENSE ...]
    
    #
    # @author Example Author <author@example.com>
    #
    PKG = 'px4'
    
    import unittest
    import rospy
    import rosbag
    
    from sensor_msgs.msg import NavSatFix
    
    class MavrosNewTest(unittest.TestCase):
     """
     Test description
     """
    
     def setUp(self):
         rospy.init_node('test_node', anonymous=True)
         rospy.wait_for_service('mavros/cmd/arming', 30)
    
         rospy.Subscriber("mavros/global_position/global", NavSatFix, self.global_position_callback)
         self.rate = rospy.Rate(10) # 10hz
         self.has_global_pos = False
    
     def tearDown(self):
         pass
    
     #
     # General callback functions used in tests
     #
     def global_position_callback(self, data):
         self.has_global_pos = True
    
     def test_method(self):
         """Test method description"""
    
         # FIXME: hack to wait for simulation to be ready
         while not self.has_global_pos:
             self.rate.sleep()
    
         # TODO: execute test
    
    if __name__ == '__main__':
     import rostest
     rostest.rosrun(PKG, 'mavros_new_test', MavrosNewTest)
  2. Run the new test only

    • Start the simulator:

      sh
      cd <PX4-Autopilot_clone>
      source Tools/simulation/gazebo/setup_gazebo.bash
      roslaunch launch/mavros_posix_sitl.launch
    • Run test (in a new shell):

      sh
      cd <PX4-Autopilot_clone>
      source Tools/simulation/gazebo/setup_gazebo.bash
      rosrun px4 mavros_new_test.py
  3. Add new test node to a launch file

    • In test/ create a new <test_name>.test ROS launch file.
    • Call the test file using one of the base scripts rostest_px4_run.sh or rostest_avoidance_run.sh
  4. (Optional) Create a new target in the Makefile

    • Open the Makefile
    • Search the Testing section
    • Add a new target name and call the test

    For example:

    sh
    tests_<new_test_target_name>: rostest
     @"$(SRC_DIR)"/test/rostest_px4_run.sh mavros_posix_tests_<new_test>.test

Run the tests as described above.
