The configuration file is a .yaml file that can be used to specify endpoints, site paths and ports to the test object.

It is also possible to pass a directory, filename and file size, which can be generated during test setup.

A class-wide timeout can also be specified in the config file.

Timeout

To specify a timeout (in seconds), add TIMEOUT: to the config file followed by the number of seconds:

TIMEOUT: 5

 

File Generation

To pass a directory and file generation information, the format is as follows:

DIRECTORY: ../TestData/bulkData/
FILES:
  - name: tst40M.txt 
    size: 41943040 
  - name: tst2K.txt
    size: 1024*20

File size is in bytes. It can be given in integers, or as an operation

NOTE: The directory passed must end in a slash ‘/’

 

Adding Endpoints, Site Paths and Ports:

NOTE: The site paths passed must end in a slash ‘/’

ReadWriteTest and MetadataTest Config File:

For config files used for ReadWriteTest and MetadataTest classes, the format to specify sites is as follows:

SITES: # Destintation SitesList
  CEPH-SVC16:
      - ceph-svc16.gridpp.rl.ac.uk
      - dteam:/test/
      - 1095
  CEPH-SVC02:
       - ceph-svc02.gridpp.rl.ac.uk
       - dteam:/test/

Under SITES:, specify the host/server name in capitals. Underneath it, pass the full endpoint, the site path (where the files will be transferred/deleted), and optionally, a port to use for this endpoint. If no port is specified, port 1094 will be used.

These hostnames will be used to generate the test IDs

TPCTest Config File:

The sites in the TPCTest config file are divided into TEST_ENDPOINT, which will be site A, and UK_SITE and (optional) NON_UK_SITE, which are endpoints that will be tested against (i.e. site Bs).
Under these categories, specify the host/server name, full endpoint path, site path and port as above:

TEST_ENDPOINT: # SiteA 
    CEPH-SVC16:
        - ceph-svc16.gridpp.rl.ac.uk
        - dteam:/test/
         - 1094

UK_SITE: # SiteB
    CEPH-SVC30:
        - ceph-svc30.gridpp.rl.ac.uk
        - dteam:/test/

NON_UK_SITE: # SiteB
    GOLIAS100: 
        - golias100.farm.particle.cz
        - dpm/farm.particle.cz/home/dteam/test/
