Rupert Smith commented on QPID-242:
-----------------------------------
It might also be worthwhile having a broker_X ping (or test or isAlive) script
too. This would be for build automation purposes, so a script can start a
broker then repeatedly test to check when is is 'live' before running tests
through it.
Also need to add requirement that scripts never fail to run when a broker
becomes unresponsive, but timeout instead. This is that these scripts do not
fail to run during an automated build.
Need to fully interop test between clients in different languages, not just
brokers. So X clients and Y brokers, means X times Y times X combinations of
producers, brokers and receivers to cycle through all test combinations. I
think this spec should be expanded a bit to include defintion of scripts for
starting test clients too. Should specify exactly how these test clients should
behave, what exchanges, virtual hosts, queue names etc. they send to. Nothing
to complex, just a fairly minimal spec and uniz scripts to run everything. Will
post about this proposal on the dev list sometime soon.
> Cross language interop testing

> Key: QPID-242
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-242
> Project: Qpid
> Issue Type: Test
> Components: C++ Broker, C++ Client, Java Broker, Java Client
> Reporter: Alan Conway
>
> We need to test between different language clients & servers. To this end I
> suggest the following framework:
> For each broker impl X, add script to qpid/bin/broker_X where X is cpp, java
> etc. with the following behavior:
> broker_X start [port] # start the broker on port (defaults to AMQP port)
> broker_X stop [port] # stop the broker on port.
> Each implementation then should run its client tests against other brokers
> using these scripts to start & stop the foreign brokers.
> IMPORTANT: Once X has been built in a clean working copy, the broker_X script
> shoud work.
> The broker_X script MUST NOT make any assumptions about environment variables
> or current directory. The script can use $0 to find the qpid/bin directory.
> It can assume that:
> - $0 is the qpid/bin directory
> - $0/../X has been built already.
> The scriptmust set up all required env vars, any config files etc. that are
> not automatically created by building X.
