Running the tests

Java versions

Open Telemetry Auto Instrumentation's minimal supported version is java 8. All jar files that we produce, unless noted otherwise, have bytecode compatible with java 8 runtime. Our test suite is executed against java 8, all LTS versions and the latest non-LTS version.

Some libraries that we auto-instrument may have higher minimal requirements. In this case we compile and test corresponding auto-instrumentation with higher java version as required by library. The resulting classes will have higher bytecode level, but as it matches library's java version, no runtime problem arise.

Instrumentation tests

Executing ./gradlew instrumentation:test will run tests for all supported auto-instrumentations using that java version which runs the Gradle build itself. These tests usually use the minimal supported version of the instrumented library.

Executing tests with specific java version

We run all tests on Java 11 by default, along with Java 8 and 15. To run on the later, set the testJavaVersion Gradle property to the desired major version, e.g., ./gradlew test -PtestJavaVersion=8, ./gradlew test -PtestJavaVersion=15. If you don't have a JDK of these versions installed, Gradle will automatically download it for you.

Executing tests against the latest versions of libraries under instrumentation

This is done as part of the nightly build in order to catch when a new version of a library is released that breaks our instrumentation tests.

To run these tests locally, add -PtestLatestDeps=true to your existing gradlew command line.

Executing single test

Executing ./gradlew :instrumentation:<INSTRUMENTATION_NAME>:test --tests <GROOVY TEST FILE NAME> will run only the selected test.

How to prevent linting and formatting warnings from failing tests

During local development, you may want to ignore lint warnings when running tests.

To ignore warnings, formatting issues, or other non-fatal issues in tests, use

./gradlew test -Ddev=true -x spotlessCheck -x checkstyleMain

The dev flag will ignore warnings in tests.

Smoke tests

The smoke tests are not run as part of a global test task run since they take a long time and are not relevant for most contributions. Explicitly specify :smoke-tests:test to run them.

If you need to run a specific smoke test suite:

./gradlew :smoke-tests:test -PsmokeTestSuite=payara

If you are on Windows and you want to run the tests using linux containers:

USE_LINUX_CONTAINERS=1 ./gradlew :smoke-tests:test -PsmokeTestSuite=payara

If you want to run a specific smoke test:

./gradlew :smoke-tests:test --tests '*SpringBootSmokeTest*'

Smoke OpenTelemetry starter tests

Smoke tests for the OpenTelemetry Spring starter.

You can execute the tests in a JVM (./gradlew smoke-tests-otel-starter:test) or as Spring native tests (./gradlew smoke-tests-otel-starter:nativeTest).

GraalVM native test

To execute all the instrumentation tests runnable as GraalVM native executables:

./gradlew nativeTest

A Github workflow executes the native tests every day.

Docker disk space

Some of the instrumentation tests (and all of the smoke tests) spin up docker containers via testcontainers. If you run out of space, you may wish to prune old containers, images and volumes using docker system prune --volumes.

Configuring Docker alternative

For some container environments, such as rootless Podman or a remotely hosted Docker, testcontainers may need additional configuration to successfully run the tests. The following environment variables can be used for configuration:

  • TESTCONTAINERS_DOCKER_SOCKET_OVERRIDE - The location of the Docker socket on the host. Default is /var/run/docker.sock
  • TESTCONTAINERS_HOST_OVERRIDE - The hostname used for container-to-container communication. Default Docker is localhost, but rootless Podman uses host.containers.internal

Troubleshooting CI Test Failures

CI test logs are pretty big around 75MB. To make it easier to troubleshoot test failures, you can download the raw logs from the CI job and then look for Publishing build scan... in the logs. Copy the URL from the logs and open it in a browser. This will give you a nice view of the test execution breakdown.

How to download the raw logs

  1. Click on the Details link in one of the failing CI jobs under Some checks were not successful section of your PR.
  2. Click on one of the failed tests in the left panel.
  3. Click on the Setting gear in the top right corner of the logs panel.
  4. Right click on 'View raw logs' and then 'Save link as' to save the page as a text file locally.
  5. Once the file is downloaded, open it in a text editor and search for Publishing build scan... to find the URL.
  6. Open the URL in a browser to view the test execution breakdown. It might prompt you to "Activate your Build Scan" the very 1st time, you can use your own email address and activate it via email.

Unfortunately, the Build Scan service hosted via Develocity has an allowed size limits of the free build scans. Once you exceed the limit, then you won't be able to view the scan anymore. Then you can just use the raw logs to search for "FAILED" or "Task failed with an exception" to identify the failing tests.
