MQTT Tests

[mjacoby]

This pull request implements the tests for receiving updates via MQTT as described in the SensorThings API specification including

• Subscribing to an entity set while inserting (POST) and updating (PUT, PATCH) entities for each entity type
• Subscribing to an entity set with multiple selected properties while inserting (POST) and updating (PUT, PATCH) entities for each entity type
• Subscribing to an entity set using different topics while inserting (POST) and updating (PUT, PATCH) entities for each entity type
• Subscribing to an entity while updating (PUT, PATCH) it for each entity type
• Subscribing to an entity using different topics while updating (PUT, PATCH) it for each entity type
• Subscribing to a property of an entity while updating (PUT, PATCH) it for each entity type and each propery (exlucing navigation properties)
• Subscribing to multiple entity set while doing a deep insert for every entity type possible

Two new properties were added to the properties file

• mqtt_server defines the address of the MQTT server
• mqtt_timeout defines the time in milliseconds a test case waits to receive an MQTT message

@bertt This might be of interest for you as you were interested in further tests https://github.com/opengeospatial/ets-sta10/issues/6

Added tests for creating observations via MQTT

We are going to wait for the API change request before reviewing this pull request. Just a quick comment, MQTT Server should be provided by the user.

[mjacoby]

Could you please explain at bit more in detail what you mean by "the MQTT Server should be provided by the user"?

[taniakhalafbeigi]

Currently we only get the service URL and level of test from user. For MQTT test we need to get MQTT broker address from user too. I am talking about the page that is the user interface when the project is deployed on TEAM Engine.

[mjacoby]

I understand what you mean. My version committed here reads the broker address from the config file as I don't know anything about the TEAM Engine.

[taniakhalafbeigi]

Okay, then I will fix that part of it. But lets wait a little bit for the change request. Just if you are curious, the ctl file under /src/main/scripts/ctl/ needs to be modified. I haven't review the code I just saw this file is not in modified files list, so I am not sure if more modification is needed based on the change in ctl.

How can I build this test? mvn package gives build failure after: '[WARNING] The POM for org.eclipse.paho:org.eclipse.paho.client.mqttv3:jar:1.1.1-SNAPSHOT is missing, no dependency information available'

[hylkevds]

The paho version can be updated to 1.1.1 (without -SNAPSHOT) I'll update the pull request later this week.

[hylkevds]

I've updated the pull request to the latest version of the test suite.

[bertt]

thanks, can build and run now :-)

Q: why are you using the 'MQTT_TOPIC_PREFIX' (v1.0/) in the MQTT topic? It's not defined in the spec.

[hylkevds]

Hmm, if it's not in the topic, how is the server going to know which version the client wants?

[bertt]

ok thanks, so its a proposal to put version number in the MQTT topic, good point.

[hylkevds]

Yes, but if it does not get accepted, it's just a matter of leaving the prefix empty. It should probably not be set by default, since it's not actually an accepted change.

I'll change the prefix to empty in the pull request.
