Storage Configuration

Storage

The storage.yaml file describes a storage item for your tests.

Required Fields

Attribute	Type	Description
name	`string`	Unique name of the storage, used for templating in tests.
uri	`string`	Unique Resource Identifier for the storage.

Optional Fields

Attribute	Type	Description
commands	`array`	List of shell commands to run in the test environment before any test steps.
paths	`map`	Named references to relative paths inside the storage.

Example

name: my_python_lib
commands: 
  - "apt update"
  - "apt install pip ipmitool inetutils-ping xvfb lsb-core -y"
  - "pip install robotframework"
paths:
  bin: bin/executable
  data: data
uri: fwci://my_python_lib

Commands

Commands are executed in the test environment before any test steps. Use them to install dependencies, configure the environment, or perform setup tasks.

Examples

Installing system packages:

commands:
  - "apt update"
  - "apt install curl git -y"

Installing Python packages:

commands:
  - "pip install requests pytest"

Setting environment variables:
```
commands:
  - "export TEST_ENV=ci"
```

Referencing Paths in Tests

Define named paths in the paths map for easy reference in your test configuration. Use the template syntax [[storage.<storage_name>.<path_key>]] to refer to these paths.

Path Example

name: example
paths:
  bin: bin/executable
  data: data
  config: config/settings.yaml
uri: fwci://example

test:
  name: run_bin_executable
  steps:
    - name: Run executable from storage
      command: "[[storage.example]]/[[storage.example.bin]] --version"
    - name: Use data directory
      command: "ls [[storage.example]]/[[storage.example.data]]"
    - name: Show config file
      command: "cat [[storage.example]]/[[storage.example.config]]"

In this example, [[storage.example.bin]], [[storage.example.data]], and [[storage.example.config]] are replaced with the actual relative paths from your storage configuration.
