Hi Bret,

I am looking at the latest version of the content on your branch.

I am confused by MdePkg/Test/MdePkgTest.dsc. It makes references
to lib classes and packages that do not exist.

CmockaLib|CmockaHostUnitTestPkg/Library/CmockaLib/CmockaLib.inf
OsServiceLib|HostBasedUnitTestPkg/Library/OsServiceLibHost/OsServiceLibHost.inf
UnitTestAssertLib|CmockaHostUnitTestPkg/Library/UnitTestAssertLibcmocka/UnitTestAssertLibcmocka.inf
UnitTestLib|CmockaHostUnitTestPkg/Library/UnitTestLibcmocka/UnitTestLibcmocka.inf

Am I looking at an old file?

I am just trying to do a local build of the unit tests for the SafeIntLib.

Thanks,

Mike

EDK2 Host-Based Unit Test RFC (Now with docs!)

The host-based tests now build on Linux/GCC, but the
final executables don't seem to get created. Don't know
where the disconnect is there. I can see the test get
compiled (along with all the libraries), but it doesn't
seem to link.

Can you take a look? Thanks!

Mike,

I think I've gotten all the feedback here and all the
action items from our call. The current branch should
be good to go, minus the couple of things that Intel
was going to look into.

Thanks!

Based Unit Test RFC (Now with docs!)


1. I see that MdePkg adds a dependency on
UnitTestPkg. This makes UnitTestPkg the root package
when building and running host based unit tests. This
makes sense, but good to highlight that all packages
that use host based tests will introduce a new package
dependency on UnitTestPkg.
* Since the dependency only applies to unit
tests, can we update the DependencyCheck plugin to
support listing dependencies for FW components separate
from dependencies for unit tests?
* Can move. Capability is there, but mistakenly
added to the wrong section.
2. I see UnitTestPkg declares 6 new lib classes.
Are all 6 classes intended to be used directly from a
unit test case? If some of these are only intended to
be used from the framework inside the UnitTestPkg can
we make them private?
* Because there are different instances in
multiple places (and conceivably more in the future),
we don't see how we could make them private.
3. In the MdePkg, I see a new top level directory
called 'HostLibrary'. Since these lib instances are
only used from a host based test, can they be moved
into the 'Test' directory?
* Can move.
4. MdePkg/MdePkgTest.dsc.
* Can this DSC file be moved into the 'Test'
directory?


i. Yes

* I see this DSC file only supports VS today.
How much work is it to add GCC support?


i. Don't know. This is an item on our list, but
lower priority and not a blocker.

1. MdePkg/HostLibrary/BaseLibHost
* Why are there 2 INFs. One with ASM and one
without ASM? Can we just use the one with ASM and
assume NASM is installed?
* I see the purpose of this lib instance is to
call the
* SetJump()/LongJump(). So these
implementations always work? It looks like it assumes
BASE_LIBRARY_JUMP_BUFFER is identical to the host OS
user mode application setjmp()/longjmp() state.
* Why are DRx and CRx registers emulated? I
would think and code that depends on read/writing these
registers would not be compatible with host based
testing. Can we change to ASSERT (FALSE)?
* PatchInstructionX86() - I suspect this will
not work in a host based environment because it is self
modifying code. Should it be ASSERT (FALSE)?
* Libraries were taken directly from the Intel
work in HBFA. They worked so we kept them. We're just
as interested in the answers to these questions as you
are.
2. MdePkg/HostLibrary/DebugLibHost
* What is '#ifndef TEST_WITH_KLEE'
* What is the 'PatchFormat()' function? It is
always disabled with if (0).
* Are the PCDs to set the debug message levels
disabled on purpose? (DebugPrintEnabled(),
DebugPrintLevelEnabled(), DebugCodeEnabled())
* Libraries were taken directly from the Intel
work in HBFA. They worked so we kept them. We're just
as interested in the answers to these questions as you
are.
3. MdePkg/HostLibrary/BaseMemoryLibHost
* Why can't we use
MdePkg/Library/BaseMemoryLib/BaseMemoryLib/inf instead
and reduce the number of host specific lib instances?
* Libraries were taken directly from the Intel
work in HBFA. They worked so we kept them. We're just
as interested in the answers to these questions as you
are.
4. MdePkg/HostLibrary/MemoryAllocationLibHost
* Why is are memcpy(), assert(), memset() used
in this lib? I would expect this lib instance to match
the UefiMemoryAllocationLib with the only the use of
malloc() and free() to replace the UEFI Boot Services
calls.
* Libraries were taken directly from the Intel
work in HBFA. They worked so we kept them. We're just
as interested in the answers to these questions as you
are.
5. Host library instance naming conventions.
* The current naming convention uses the
environment as a prefix(e.g. Pei, Smm, Uefi) and the
services the lib instance uses as a post fix. Would it
make more sense to use 'Host' as a prefix instead of a
postfix in the lib instance names?
* I don't know if there's a 1:1 relationship
with these. For some library classes (that you might
have host versions of), the class itself is the
PeiSomethingLib, and the host version would be the
PeiSomethingLibHost. No?
6. Unicode vs ASCII strings
* I see InitUnitTestFramework(),
CreateUnitTestSuite(), and AddTestCase() all take
Unicode strings for the labels. I also see extra code
to convert gEfiCallerBaseName from ASCII to Unicode to
use it as a short name of a test framework. I think it
would be simpler if the parameters to these APIs were
ASCII and the framework can convert to Unicode if
needed.
* No strong feelings, but we already have a
bunch of tests written this way. Since the UnitTestLib
is an abstraction that works as well in Shell as in the
Host, going with Unicode strings seemed to match the
art for Shell apps (since the framework was written for
Shell first).
7. Will InitUnitTestFramework() and
CreateUnitTestSuite() always be called in pairs? If
so, can we combine these to a single API?
* I see the SafeIntLib example create a single
framework and multiple test suites. Perhaps we can
have a single CreateUnitTestSuite() API where Framework
is an IN/OUT and if it is passed in as NULL, the
Framework handle is created.


i. It's not always in pairs. You would only have a
single framework init, but could have multiple suites.

* I see a pattern where the
CreateUnitTestSuite() 'Package' parameter is used as a
prefix to every call to AddTestCase() in the
'ClassName' parameter. Can we simplify AddTestCase()
so it only need to pass in the name of the unit test
case, and the framework can append Package and the
unit test case name?


i. Right now, our tests just coincidentally share
similar names with the packages, but we don't feel this
is axiomatic and don't want to force this naming on
others, who may be trying to bolt into other reporting
structures.

1. I see the use of the 'Fw' variable as a shorthand
for 'Framework'. Can we use something other than 'Fw'.
It may be confused with 'Firmware'.
* No real arguments. Wouldn't fight a find-
replace, but it'll just be a bunch of touches as we
commit.
2. UnitTestPkg/Include/UnitTestTypes.h
* I see several hard coded string lengths.
Since this runs in a host environment and strings can
always be allocated, can the hard coded lengths be
removed? Update the structs to use pointers to strings
instead of string arrays, and the framework can manage
alloc() and free()?


i. Given that this framework is designed to be
nimble enough to work in PEI and SMM and other
constrictive environments, we wanted to keep fixed
sizing.

* How are Fingerprints used? The idea of using
as hash as a unique identifier is a good idea. How is
the hash calculated? What unit test code artifacts are
used so developers know what parameters must be unique?
Can we just decide to use a specific hash
algorithm/size and the structure can be a pointer to an
allocated buffer instead of a fixed size array to make
it easy to change the algorithm/size in the future?


i. Fingerprints are unique IDs to make sure that
serialize/unserialized state matches the tests upon re-
entry. I'm not married to MD5, but it needs to be
predictably unique, and carried with the framework. I
would not want to make any requirements on CryptoLib,
since these aren't crypto-strong.

* Update all the strings to be ASCII? See
Unicode vs ASCII above.


i. Ideally not, unless there's a strong use case.

* UNIT_TEST_SAVE_TEST - The last field is a
variable sized array, so it can be a formal field.


i. Not opposed, but don't really want to make the
change myself. Is there a style guide that this is
breaking?

* UNIT_TEST_SAVE_CONTEXT - - The last field is a
variable sized array, so it can be a formal field.
* UNIT_TEST_SAVE_HEADER - Can the last 3 fields
be changed to pointers and be formal fields?
* Do the structures really need to be packed?
Specially with the changes suggested above? Is the
intent to potentially share data stored on disk between
different host execution environments that may have
different width architectures?


i. That's an interesting point. Could you draw up
your suggestion and submit a PR?

1. UnitTestPkg - UnitTestLib.h
* Can you provide more context for the APIs
SaveFrameworkState(), SaveFrameworkStateAndQuit(),
SaveFrameworkStateAndReboot(),
SetFrameworkBootNextDevice(). I do not see any Load()
functions, so how would a set of tests be resumed? If
these do not apply to host based tests, should these be
split out to a different lib class?


i. I'll improve the documentation around these
functions. I will acknowledge, however, that this is an
interface that I expect to evolve as we figure out what
kinds of tests the community wants support for "out of
the box". If we want to easily enable tests around -
for example - ExitBootServices, we will likely want to
tweak this going forward to its simplest form. The
version we have here was sufficient to enable the test
cases that we've currently written.

1. UnitTestPkg/Library/UnitTestLib
* I see an implementation of MD5. We should not
do our own. We should use an approved implementation
such as OpenSSL.


i. Happy to discuss another implementation, but
this is not crypto-strong. It's just for uniqueness. A
sufficiently long CRC would probably work, too.

1. UnitTestPkg/Library/UnitTestTerminationLibTbd
* Do we really need this lib instance now?


i. This is here so that we can figure out what
this should look like for a host. Host obviously
wouldn't reset, but could conceivably quit. Or maybe
that doesn't make any sense for a host.

Mike,



I like and agree with your comments.



On the UnitTestPkg(s) dependency issue I think it would
make sense to move as much as possible into the
*Pkg/Test/ ( *Pkg/HostLibrary, MdePkg/MdePkgTest.dsc,
etc.) directory structure. It looks like for
implementation specific tests we skip the Test
directory and drop the UnitTest or FuzzTest directly
into modules directory. Maybe we should follow the same
pattern as *Pkg/Test and have a Test directory? This
will help minimize the number of "reserved" directories
we need for managing the testing. Have a standardized
directory structure will make it easier to
differentiate the code from tests while doing `git
grep` or other forms of code spelunking.



A Host-Based Unit Test for a Library makes sense as you
can link directly against the library and test it. A
Host-Based Unit Test for Protocol/PPI/GUID [1] seems a
little more complex. It is easy enough to write tests
for the interfaces but what APIs do you call to get
access to the protocol?



Per our conversation at the Stewards meeting I think
make sense to try to roll out the testing of libraries
as the 1st phase. The mocking required for drivers
could get quite complex and let us not get bogged down
in all that to get something working.

Now that CI has landed in edk2/master, we'd like to get
the basic framework for unittesting staged as well.
Target intercept date would be immediately after the
2019/11 stabilization, so we wanted to go ahead and get
comments now.

The host unittest framework consists of five primary
pieces:
- The test library (Cmocka)
- Support libraries (Found in UnitTestPkg)
- The test support plugins (HostUnitTestComilerPlugin,
HostUnitTestDxeCompleteCheck, HostBasedUnitTestRunner)
- The configuration in the package-based *.ci.yaml file
and package-based Test.dsc
- The tests themselves

We have a demo branch set up at:

The current demo branch contains a single test in
MdePkg for SafeIntLib (module file
MdePkg\Test\UnitTest\Library\BaseSafeIntLib\TestBaseSaf
eIntLib.inf). This test is automatically detected by
the HostUnitTestComilerPlugin and run by the
HostBasedUnitTestRunner as part of the CI process.

A few notes about the current demo:
1) The demo currently only works on Windows build
chains, but there's no reason to believe that it can't
work equally well on Linux build chains, and are happy
to work with anyone to get it there.

2) The demo currently has four failing conditions that
can be seen towards the end of MdePkg "Build and Test"

These failures seem to be legitimate and further work
should be done by the community to decide whether the
test case is correct or the library is correct, but one
of them needs to change.

3) Current demo pulls in test collateral from a fork of
the edk2-test repo. This repo is currently *very* heavy
due to the history of the UEFI SCT project and the
number of binaries that it pulls down. It's possible
that we (the community) need to select a better place
for this code to live. Maybe in edk2 primary (though
it's not explicitly firmware code, so it seems
unnecessary). Maybe in a new edk2-test2 repo or
something like that.

Once again, would love to get this into EDK2 master
after stabilization, and most of this has previously
been shopped around in other discussion threads. This
is just where the rubber meets the road and is the
minimal subset of code that needs to land for folks to
start contributing unittests against the core libraries
that can be run as part of any CI pass.

Thanks!
