test-runner

A set of tools for running automated Rust tests against Citra (3DS emulator).

Components

  • test-runner: a Rust crate for writing tests for 3DS homebrew
  • GitHub Actions:
    • setup: action for setting up the Rust 3DS toolchain in workflows
    • run-tests: action for running test executables with Citra in workflows

Usage

First the test runner to your crate:

cargo add --dev test-runner --git https://github.com/rust3ds/test-runner

In lib.rs and any integration test files:

#![feature(custom_test_frameworks)]
#![test_runner(test_runner::run_gdb)]

Then use the setup and run-tests actions in your github workflow. This example shows the default value for each of the inputs.

jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    container:
      image: devkitpro/devkitarm
      volumes:
        # This is required so the test action can `docker run` the runner:
        - '/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock'

    steps:
      - name: Checkout branch
        uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - name: Setup Rust3DS toolchain
        uses: rust3ds/test-runner/setup@v1
        with:
          # Optionally use a more specific nightly toolchain here if desired
          toolchain: nightly

      - name: Build and run tests
        uses: rust3ds/test-runner/run-tests@v1
        with:
          # Optionally add arguments to pass to `cargo 3ds test`
          args: ''
          # Optionally set the name of the built test-runner docker image
          runner-image: test-runner-3ds
          # Optionally change to a given directory before running tests. Note
          # that this should use the environment variable ${GITHUB_WORKSPACE}
          # rather than ${{ github.workspace }} to avoid the issue described in
          # https://github.com/actions/runner/issues/2058
          working-directory: ${GITHUB_WORKSPACE}

See ci.yml to see a full lint and test workflow using these actions (including uploading output artifacts from the tests).

Caveats

  • GDB doesn't seem to support separate output streams for stdout and stderr, so all test output to stderr will end up combined with stdout and both will be printed to the runner's stdout. If you know a workaround for this that doesn't require patching + building GDB itself please open an issue about it!

  • Since the custom test runner runs as part of cargo test, it won't be able to find a 3dsx that hasn't built yet. cargo-3ds doesn't build 3dsx executables until after the cargo command it runs internally, so this means that tests can't depend on any features of the 3dsx (like embedded romFS). A workaround for this is to simply build the tests as a separate step before running them, after which the runner will be able to find the 3dsx.

  • Doctests require a bit of extra setup to work with the runner, since they don't use the crate's #![test_runner]. To write doctests, add the following to the beginning of the doctest (or fn main() if the test defines it):

    let _runner = test_runner::GdbRunner::default();
    

    The runner must remain in scope for the duration of the test in order for the test output to be printed.
