BaseTest Class:

The BaseTest class stores the protocols, endpoints and ports to generate scenarios with. Methods and attributes of this class are inherited by the subclasses: ReadWriteTest, MetadataTest and TPCTest

class BaseTest( configFile=None, createFiles=False, root=True, https=True, davs=True )

A configuration file can be passed upon instantiation of the subclasses containing the endpoint, file path and optional port.

Optionally, specifying a directory, file name(s) and file size(s) in the config file and instantiating with createFiles=True will generate these files in the provided directory.

To exclude up to two of the protocols from being used, they can be toggled to False when instantiating the subclass

BaseTest Methods:

This class has the following accessory methods that can be used for test setup/teardown by the user:

     Parameters:

  • vomsProxy (string, optional) – A path to the VOMS proxy file
  • bearerToken (string, optional) – Value of the BEARER_TOKEN environmental variable

     Returns:
         None

method resetCreds( vomsProxy=None, bearerToken=None, x509User=None )

Restores the VOMS proxy token file to the given directory, and resets the BEARER_TOKEN and X509_USER_PROXY environmental variables with the given values.

     Parameters:

  • vomsProxy (string, optional) – A path to the VOMS proxy file
  • bearerToken (string, optional) – Value of the BEARER_TOKEN environmental variable
