[dpdk-dev] How to run tests

[Vivian Kong]

Hi everyone,

Got a newbie question - I was able to build the source with `make install
DESTDIR=~/dpdk-install T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc`.  How do I go about
running the tests?  I looked into the directory
"x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc" but I didn't see the "app/test" executable.
Am I missing something in my make command?

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

If you're using make build system, you need to run "make test-build" to 
build the test application. Then, you'll be able to run the test 
application.

With meson build system, the test application is built by default, and 
will be located at <your build dir>/test/test/dpdk-test.

Thanks Anatoly.  I can find the test application now.

Is there a set of tests I can run to verify the build?

Generally, most unit tests in the test app will do what you require. 
Additionally, if you're using make build system, you can run "make test" 
and it'll run an autotest script. Some tests may fail for various 
reasons (additional setup requirements for KNI tests, multiprocess 
issues affecting EAL flags and multiprocess autotests...), but generally 
that command can be used to "verify the build".

That said, it is by no means an exhaustive test, because most of DPDK 
functionality of interest will require setting up traffic forwarding - 
unit tests do very limited testing of that for obvious reasons.

Just FYI:
As well as "make test", for meson builds you can also use "meson test", or
"meson test <testname>" to run just one specific test.
