This describes how to run the RDM Responder Tests. Before starting you may want to read the Responder Testing FAQ.

Setup the Test Rig

The following controller devices are supported:

Connect the device under test to the controller device and start olad. Patch the output port on the controller device to a universe (UNIVERSE_NUMBER). Then run ola_rdm_discover, you should see the responder's UID appear:

 $ ola_rdm_discover -u UNIVERSE_NUMBER
 00a1:00010003
 7a70:ffffff00

Running the Tests

The tests are written in Python and run using ola_rdm_test.py. Below is the output from a typical test run:

 $ ./ola_rdm_test.py --universe 1  00a1:00010003
 Starting tests, universe 3, UID 00a1:00010003
 SetManufacturerLabel: Passed
 SetSoftwareVersionLabel: Passed
 GetManufacturerLabel: Passed
 GetSoftwareVersionLabelWithData: Failed

Useful Options

ola_rdm_test.py has some options which can assist in debugging failures. For a full list of options run with -h

-d, --debug
Show all debugging output, including actual & expected responses.
-l, --log
Log the output of the tests to a file. The UID and timestamp is appended to the filename
-t Test1,Test2 , --tests=Test1,Test2
Only run a subset of the Tests. Only the tests listed (and their dependencies) will be run.
