Sudeep Mohanty 07af6ddcf7 fix(host_test): use ${project_elf} variable and keyword link form
Three host_test CMakeLists.txt files relied on idioms tied to a
specific build system layout. Make them portable:

- spiffs/host_test and esp_partition/host_test/partition_api_test
  passed a hard-coded "<project>.elf" target name to add_dependencies().
  Use ${project_elf}, the canonical variable that resolves to the live
  executable target name in either build system.

- nvs_flash/host_test/nvs_page_test linked --coverage using the plain
  signature of target_link_libraries. CMake forbids mixing plain and
  keyword signatures on the same target; the component library link
  already uses the keyword form. Switch the --coverage link to the
  keyword signature.

NVS Page Unit Test

This unit test for the nvs::Page C++ class uses CMock to abstract its dependency to the spi_flash component. Its CMakeLists.txt builds mocks instead of the actual spi_flash component by setting the component property USE_MOCK for spi_flash. It also needs some stubs for CRC32 since the ROM component can not be mocked yet. These are retrieved from the mock directory inside nvs_flash.

The mocked version of spi_flash receives all function calls to the esp_partition API. E.g., have a look at the first unit test in the NVS page test, the test function test_Page_load_reading_header_fails(). It simply checks whether an error is propagated correctly from the esp_partition API to upper layers during a call to nvs::Page::load. The relevant mocking code here is:

esp_partition_read_raw_ExpectAnyArgsAndReturn(ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG);

It tells the generated mocks to expect a call to esp_partition API's esp_partition_read_raw(), accept any arguments and return ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG. When nvs::Page::load is called later, the mock will "replay" this action and the test will check that the return value is correctly propagated with:

TEST_ASSERT_EQUAL(ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG, page.load(&mock, 0));

For more information on how to control the mock's behavior, take a look at the CMock README. The rest of main/nvs_page_test.cpp also provides many more examples on how to control the mocks.

Requirements

  • The usual IDF requirements
  • The host's gcc/g++
  • ruby

This application has been tested on Ubuntu 20.04 with gcc version 9.3.0.

Build

First, make sure that the target is set to Linux. Run idf.py --preview set-target linux if you are not sure. Then do a normal IDF build: idf.py build.

Run

idf.py monitor

Coverage

To generate the coverage, run: idf.py coverage. Afterwards, you can view the coverage by opening build/coverage_report/index.html with your browser. Note that you need to run the application at least once before generating the coverage information. If you run it multiple times, the coverage information adds up.

Example Output

Ideally, all tests pass, which is indicated by the last two log lines after the dashed line:
