virtualized testing for Raspberry Pi #3

This site lists RPi as a continuous integration target... in wonder how it worked? (link seems broken...)

Do you mean to mount a built image and run tests on it? What kind of tests do you have in mind?

jywarren commented 6 years ago

Yeah, like, build an image, mount it, then run an automated test suite that confirms that a given script worked, so looking for things like:

wifi hotspot installed and online
correct utilities available and basic functionality without errors
(ideally) can take a photo and confirm that it's not an empty file?

Stuff like that - what do you think?

I think you are going to like what I found!

I noticed the end of the output of the image building process:

+ rspec --format documentation --color /workspace/builder/test

SD card image
  exists
  Partition table
    has two partitions
    has a boot-partition with a vfat filesystem
    has a root-partition with a ext4 filesystem
  Binary dpkg
    is compiled for ARM architecture
  /etc/fstab
    has a vfat boot entry
    has a ext4 root entry

Root filesystem
  is based on debian
  is debian version stretch
  is a HypriotOS
  has a HYPRIOT_OS= entry
  has a HYPRIOT_OS_VERSION= entry
  has a HYPRIOT_DEVICE= entry
  has a HYPRIOT_IMAGE_VERSION= entry
  is for architecure 'HYPRIOT_OS="HypriotOS/armhf"'
  is for device 'HYPRIOT_DEVICE="Raspberry Pi"'
  uses os-rootfs version 'HYPRIOT_OS_VERSION="v2.0.1"'

Finished in 40.25 seconds (files took 0.72588 seconds to load)
17 examples, 0 failures

Finished: SUCCESS

So this is already implemented using Ruby! :-)

It could be used to setup Travis, based on the included CircleCi configuration.

The current tests are here.
