This page is written for developers familiar with Java, JanusGraph, and Maven who want information on how to run JanusGraph's test suite.
JanusGraph runs all tests using JUnit. To compile, package, and run the default test suite for JanusGraph, use the standard mvn clean install
command.
JanusGraph has a specialty tests, disabled by default, intended to generate basic performance metrics or stress its cache structures under memory pressure. The next section describes how JanusGraph's tests are internally categorized and the Maven options that enabled/disable test categories.
JanusGraph runs continuous integration via Travis; see the dashboard for current status.
Travis sends emails on test failures and status transitions (to/from failure) to [email protected] mailing list.
All of JanusGraph's tests are written for JUnit. JanusGraph's JUnit tests are annotated with the following JUnit Tags:
Category Name | Maven Property | Default | Comment |
---|---|---|---|
MEMORY_TESTS | test.skip.mem | true (disabled) | Tests intended to exert memory pressure |
PERFORMANCE_TESTS | test.skip.perf | true (disabled) | Tests written as simple speed tests using JUnitBenchmarks |
ORDERED_KEY_STORE_TESTS | test.skip.ordered | false (enabled) | Tests written for a storage backend that stores data in key order |
UNORDERED_KEY_STORE_TESTS | test.skip.unordered | false (enabled) | Tests written for a storage backend that doesn't store data in key order |
(No tag) | test.skip.default | false (enabled) | Tests without any Tag annotations |
Tag Name above is a Java interface defined in the package org.janusgraph.testcategory. These interfaces appear as arguments to the JUnit @Tag(...)
annotation, e.g. @Tag(TestCategory.MEMORY_TESTS)
.
Maven Property above is a boolean-valued pom.xml property that skips the associated test tag when true and executes the associated test tag when false. The default values defined in pom.xml can be overridden on the command-line in the ordinary Maven way, e.g. mvn -Dtest.skip.mem=false test
.
Implementation Note. The Maven property naming pattern "test.skip.x=boolean" is needlessly verbose, a cardinal sin for command line options. A more concise alternative would be "test.x" with the boolean sense negated. However, this complicates the pom.xml configuration for the Surefire plugin since it precludes direct use of the Surefire plugin's <skip>
configuration tag, as in <skip>${test.skip.perf}</skip>
. There doesn't seem to be a straightforward way to negate a boolean or otherwise make this easy, at least without resorting to profiles or a custom plugin, though I might be missing something. Also, the mold is arguably already set by Surefire's "maven.test.skip" property, though that has slightly different interpretation semantics than the properties above.
If a test should be marked as flaky add following annotation to the test and open an issue.
@FlakyTest
public void testFlakyFailsSometimes(){}
The standard maven-surefire-plugin option applies for most tests:
mvn test -Dtest=full.or.partial.classname#methodname
However, MEMORY_TESTS and PERFORMANCE_TESTS are disabled by default regardless of whatever -Dtest=...
option might be specified. When running a single MemoryTest or PerformanceTest, specify -Dtest.mem=true
or -Dtest.perf=true
as appropriate for the test in question.
Here's a concrete example.
# Executes no tests because the MEMORY_TESTS category is disabled by default
mvn test -Dtest=BerkeleyJEGraphPerformanceMemoryTest
# Executes the specified test
mvn test -Dtest=BerkeleyJEGraphPerformanceMemoryTest -Dtest.skip.mem=false
Solr tests can be run against an external Solr instance. For convenience the docker
Maven profile is provided to manage a Solr Docker container through the Maven Failsafe Plugin. The default test version will be the same as the Solr client version.
mvn clean install -pl janusgraph-solr -Pdocker
Additional Maven profiles are defined for testing against default versions of other supported major Solr releases. (Currently, only Solr 7 is supported.)
mvn clean install -pl janusgraph-solr -Pdocker,solr7
Finally the solr.test.version
property can be used to test against arbitrary Solr versions.
mvn clean install -pl janusgraph-solr -Pdocker -Dsolr.test.version=7.0.0
Note Running Elasticsearch tests require Docker.
Elasticsearch tests run against an external Elasticsearch instance. The default test version will be the same as the Elasticsearch client version.
mvn clean install -pl janusgraph-es
Additional Maven profiles are defined for testing against default versions of other supported major Elasticsearch releases.
mvn clean install -pl janusgraph-es -Pelasticsearch5
Finally the elasticsearch.docker.version
property can be used to test against arbitrary Elasticsearch versions >= 5.0.0
. This is more complicated however because of differences across major versions in required server settings and Docker image names. The examples below illustrate the differences based on the Elasticsearch major version.
mvn clean install -pl janusgraph-es -Delasticsearch.docker.version=5.3.2
mvn clean install -pl janusgraph-es -Delasticsearch.docker.image=elasticsearch
mvn clean install -pl janusgraph-es -Delasticsearch.docker.version=6.0.0 -Delasticsearch.docker.image=elasticsearch
Note Running CQL tests require Docker.
CQL tests are executed using testcontainers-java.
CQL tests can be executed against a Cassandra 2 using the profile cassandra2
,
a Cassandra 3 using the profile cassandra3
, or a Scylla 3 using the profile scylladb
.
mvn clean install -pl janusgraph-cql -Pcassandra2-murmur
mvn clean install -pl janusgraph-cql -Pcassandra3-murmur
mvn clean install -pl janusgraph-cql -Pscylladb
System properties to configure CQL test executions:
Property | Description | Default value |
---|---|---|
cassandra.docker.image |
Docker image to pull and run. | cassandra |
cassandra.docker.version |
Docker image tag to pull and run | 3.11.4 |
cassandra.docker.partitioner |
Set the cassandra partitioner. Supported partitioner are murmur , or byteordered |
murmur |
cassandra.docker.useSSL |
Activate SSL Note: This property currently only works with the partitioner set to murmur . |
false |
cassandra.docker.useDefaultConfigFromImage |
If set to false default configs of the image are used. Note: cassandra.docker.partitioner and cassandra.docker.useSSL are ignored. |
false |
The following examples show possible configuration combinations.
mvn clean install -pl janusgraph-cql -Dcassandra.docker.version=2.2.14
mvn clean install -pl janusgraph-cql -Dcassandra.docker.image=cassandra
mvn clean install -pl janusgraph-cql -Dcassandra.docker.image=cassandra -Dcassandra.docker.version=3.11.2
The CQL backend is tested with TinkerPop tests using following command.
Note: Profiles are not supported during running TinkerPop tests.
If you do not want to use the default config, you can set cassandra.docker.image
,
cassandra.docker.version
, or cassandra.docker.partitioner
.
mvn clean install -Dtest.skip.tp=false -DskipTests=true -pl janusgraph-cql \
-Dcassandra.docker.partitioner=murmur -Dcassandra.docker.version=2.2.14
The file janusgraph-cql/src/test/resources/docker/docker-compose.yml
can be used to generate new configuration files.
Therefore, you have to start a Cassandra instance using docker-compose up
.
Afterward, you can extract the configuration which is located in the following file /etc/cassandra/cassandra.yaml
.
Default and TinkerPop tests can be run against an externally-managed Cassandra instance. For convenience a Docker Compose file is provided in the JanusGraph-Cassandra source distribution for managing a Cassandra instance in a Docker container.
CASSANDRA_VERSION=3.11.0 docker-compose -f janusgraph-cassandra/src/test/resources/docker-compose.yml up -d
Environment variables used when starting the container are described below
Variable | Description | Example |
---|---|---|
CASSANDRA_VERSION | Docker image version to pull and run | 3.11.0 |
CASSANDRA_ENABLE_BOP | Enable the ByteOrderedPartitioner . Required for TinkerPop tests. |
true |
CASSANDRA_ENABLE_SSL | Enable SSL | true |
(Optional) Once the instance is started logs can be monitored or alternatively omit the -d
flag in the above call and run tests in a separate shell
docker-compose -f janusgraph-cassandra/src/test/resources/docker-compose.yml logs -f
Wait for the instance to become available by monitoring logs or programmatically as shown below. Note the two cases being checked are to accommodate both unencrypted and encrypted connections.
until docker exec -it jg-cassandra sh -c 'exec cqlsh -e "show host"' || docker exec -it jg-cassandra sh -c 'exec cqlsh --ssl -e "show host"'; do
>&2 echo "Cassandra is unavailable - sleeping";
sleep 1;
done
The storage.hostname
property is used when running tests to indicate an external instance should be used. Depending on the tests being run it may be necessary to provide the Docker container IP address rather than the host address (127.0.0.1) to avoid test failures. The Docker container IP address can be obtained as shown below.
STORAGE_HOSTNAME=`docker inspect -f '{{range .NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}' jg-cassandra`
After running tests the container can be stopped and removed as shown below
docker-compose -f janusgraph-cassandra/src/test/resources/docker-compose.yml stop
docker-compose -f janusgraph-cassandra/src/test/resources/docker-compose.yml rm -f
Default Thrift tests with the Murmur3Partitioner
partitioner:
CASSANDRA_VERSION=3.11.0 docker-compose -f janusgraph-cassandra/src/test/resources/docker-compose.yml up -d
# wait for instance to start (see above)
mvn clean install -pl janusgraph-cassandra -Dtest=**/thrift/* -Dtest.skip.ordered=true -Dtest.skip.ssl=true -Dstorage.hostname=$STORAGE_HOSTNAME

partitioner:
CASSANDRA_VERSION=3.11.0 CASSANDRA_ENABLE_BOP=true docker-compose -f janusgraph-cassandra/src/test/resources/docker-compose.yml up -d
# wait for instance to start (see above)
mvn clean install -pl janusgraph-cassandra -Dtest=**/thrift/* -Dtest.skip.unordered=true -Dtest.skip.ssl=true -Dtest.skip.serial=true -Dstorage.hostname=$STORAGE_HOSTNAME
Default Thrift SSL tests with the Murmur3Partitioner
partitioner:

To run default Astyanax or CQL tests change the test
property value in the above calls. Also note that the CQL module uses different property names to toggle the partitioner and enable SSL.
Description | Property (Cassandra Module) | Property (CQL Module) |
---|---|---|
Skip Murmur3Partitioner tests | test.skip.unordered | test.skip.murmur |
Skip ByteOrderedPartitioner tests | test.skip.ordered | test.skip.byteorderedpartitioner |
Skip SSL (murmur) | test.skip.ssl=true | test.skip.murmur-ssl=true |
