You must build and install qpid-interop-test before you can run the tests.
By default, qpid-interop-test will install to /usr/local (and will thus also require root privileges), but you can set any non-privileged directory as the install prefix using the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX environment variable, for example $HOME/install.
The following tools are needed to build qpid-interop-test:
The following Qpid components must be installed before you build and install qpid-interop-test:
The following are not required, but if installed and present, will be tested:
In addition, if you wish to run the tests against a broker on the build machine, it will be necessary to have a running broker. One of the following may be installed and started against which to run the interop tests as a local broker:
Any AMQP 1.0 broker should work. Tests can also be run against a remote broker provided the broker IP address is known.
These pre-requisites can be installed using the standard system package manager (yum, dnf, apt-get etc.) OR built from source and installed.
These are the install steps:
Currently RHEL6 is not supported because it uses Python 2.6.x, and the test code uses features of Python 2.7.x. This may be supported in a future release.
From a clean install:
yum install cmake maven java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel perl-XML-XPath
Some packages will need to be downloaded from EPEL. To set up the EPEL repo in yum:
wget https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm yum install epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
then install the following packages:
yum -y install jsoncpp-devel nodejs-rhea qpid-proton-cpp-devel python-qpid-proton qpid-proton-cpp-devel python2-qpid-proton
All packages are available directly from the Fedora repositories:
dnf -y install gcc-c++ cmake maven java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel perl-XML-XPath jsoncpp-devel nodejs-rhea qpid-proton-cpp-devel python-qpid-proton qpid-proton-cpp-devel python2-qpid-proton python3-qpid-proton
Docker images come with only the bare essentials, so there is more to install than a standard bare-metal install:
yum -y install vim unzip wget git gcc-c++ make cmake maven swig java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel perl-XML-XPath python-devel procps-ng
Some packages will need to be downloaded from EPEL. To set up the EPEL repo in yum:
wget https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm yum -y install epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
then install the following packages:
yum -y install mono-devel python34-devel jsoncpp-devel nodejs-rhea qpid-proton-cpp-devel python-qpid-proton qpid-proton-cpp-devel python2-qpid-proton
Note that at the time of release, there is no python3-qpid-proton package available for CentOS7, but this should be available soon. Tests should be run with the --exclude-shim ProtonPython3 flag to avoid errors.
dnf -y install vim unzip wget procps-ng git gcc-c++ make cmake maven swig java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel perl-XML-XPath python-devel mono-devel python3-devel jsoncpp-devel nodejs-rhea python-qpid-proton qpid-proton-cpp-devel python2-qpid-proton python3-qpid-proton
Qpid-interop-test requires a running broker to be available. This may be on localhost as a local install or build, or on another machine, in which case its IP addresss must be known. Some local broker install options are:
Download from Apache.
Make the following changes to the activemq.xml config file: For XML element broker.transportConnectors.transportConnector@name="amqp" add the attribute wireFormat.allowNonSaslConnections=true. ie:
<transportConnector name="amqp" uri="amqp://0.0.0.0:5672?maximumConnections=1000&wireFormat.maxFrameSize=1048576000&wireFormat.allowNonSaslConnections=true"/>
Download from Apache.
yum -y install qpid-cpp-server # CentOS7/RHEL
or
dnf -y install qpid-cpp-server # Fedora 28
and set the configuration file in /etc/qpid/qpidd.conf as follows:
auth=no queue-patterns=qit
The broker may be started via service, but if running in a Docker container, this may not work. In this case, start the broker directly:
/sbin/qpidd -d
and can be stopped with
/sbin/qpidd -q
yum install qpid-dispatch-router
and add the following to the config file in /etc/qpid-dispatch/qdrouterd.conf:
listener {
host: ::1
port: amqp
authenticatePeer: no
saslMechanisms: ANONYMOUS
}
The broker may be started via service, but if running in a Docker container, this may not work. In this case, start the broker directly:
/sbin/qdrouterd -d
and can be stopped with
pkill qdrouterd # Needs procps-ng package installed in Docker containers
Qpid-interop-test may be installed locally (preferred for local builds) or to the system (which requires root privileges). For a local install, use the -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX option to the cmake command. If it is omitted, then qpid-interop-test will be installed into the default system directories. The source may be unpacked, or (if you need to use the latest and greatest), cloned from git:
git clone https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/qpid-interop-test.git
or
git clone https://github.com/apache/qpid-interop-test.git
Assuming the source tree is located in directory qpid-interop-test:
cd qpid-interop-test git tag -l # See list of tags git checkout tags/<tagname> # tagname is the release, for example 0.2.0-rc3 mkdir build cd build
For a local install:
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<abs-path-to-local-install-dir> .. make install
For a system install (root privileges are required):
cmake .. make sudo make install
The config.sh script is in the qpid-interop-test build directory:
source build/config.sh
If the broker is at a remote location rather than localhost, the IP address must be known. In tests using the Qpid Dispatch Router, then the entire broker network must be running before the tests are run. The IP addresses of the sender (the broker to which messages are being sent) and receiver (the broker from which messages will be received) must be known.
The available tests are:
| Module | Description | Clients |
|---|---|---|
| amqp_complex_types_test | Tests complex AMQP 1.0 types | C++ Python2 Python3 |
| amqp_large_content_test | Tests implementation of large messages up to 10MB | C++ Python2 Python3 AMQP.NetLite |
| amqp_types_test | Tests the implementation of AMQP 1.0 types | C++ Python2 Python3 Rhea AMQP.NetLite |
| jms_hdrs_props_test | Tests JMS headers and properties | C++ JMS Python2 Python3 |
| jms_messages_test | Tests all JMS message types (except ObjectMessage) | C++ JMS Python2 Python3 |
Each test has command-line options which can be used to limit or modify the test, use the --help option to see these options.
The preferred method to run the tests is using the Python module option as follows:
python -m qpid_interop_test.amqp_types_test python -m qpid_interop_test.jms_messages_test ...
If the broker is remote, use the following to point to the broker(s):
python -m qpid_interop_test.amqp_types_test --sender <broker-ip-addr> --receiver <broker-ip-addr> python -m qpid_interop_test.jms_messages_test --sender <broker-ip-addr> --receiver <broker-ip-addr> ...
In tests using the Qpid dispatch router, a multi-node configuration may be set up such that messages are sent to a different broker to that from which they will be received. For example, to send to broker A and receive from broker B:
python -m qpid_interop_test.amqp_types_test --sender <broker-ip-addr-A> --receiver <broker-ip-addr-B> python -m qpid_interop_test.jms_messages_test --sender <broker-ip-addr-A> --receiver <broker-ip-addr-B> ...
CentOS7 Note:
CentOS7 does not have the python3-qpid-proton package available at the time of the 0.2.0 release. To avoid errors in the test on CentOS7 (which does not yet auto-detect but assumes the availability of this package), use the --exclude-shim ProtonPython3 command-line parameter to disable this shim. See QPIDIT-126 for progress and further details on this issue.
A detailed description of how to install and run the AMQP.Net Lite client on Fedora may be found at Apache JIRA QPIDIT-105, and can easily be adapted to other Linux operating systems. The following packages need to be installed:
See the above JIRA for detailed instructions. Here is a summary:
Download/install the Amqp.Net Lite dlls. They are initially zipped, unzip them into a well-known location. Make sure you can find the path to the required .dll file for the version you are using, for example:
/abs/path/to/amqp.netlite/lib/net45
When building qpid-interop-test (section 3 above), add the following environment variable to the cmake parameters: -DAMQPNETLITE_LIB_DIR=<abs/path/to/amqp.netlite/lib/net45>. When cmake completes, look for the following:
-- BUILD_AMQPNETLITE = ON
which shows that the dll was found and the .netlite tests will be enabled. If you see the following, then the required dll was not found:
-- BUILD_AMQPNETLITE = OFF
The messages immediately preceding this will give a clue as to why it was not found, one of AMQPNETLITE_LIB_DIR not defined or Amqp.Net.dll was not found in the path.
The following packages need to be installed:
The Rhea source may be cloned from github:
git clone https://github.com/amqp/rhea.git
If the rhea directory is discovered when qpid-interop-test runs cmake, then the Rhea client tests will be enabled. If the directory is not found, it may be set through the RHEA_DIR variable when running cmake.
