SeaweedFS FUSE Integration Testing Framework

Overview

This directory contains a comprehensive integration testing framework for SeaweedFS FUSE operations. The current SeaweedFS FUSE tests are primarily performance-focused (using FIO) but lack comprehensive functional testing. This framework addresses those gaps.

⚠️ Current Status

Note: Due to Go module conflicts between this test framework and the parent SeaweedFS module, the full test suite currently requires manual setup. The framework files are provided as a foundation for comprehensive FUSE testing once the module structure is resolved.

Working Components

• ✅ Framework design and architecture (framework.go)
• ✅ Individual test file structure and compilation
• ✅ Test methodology and comprehensive coverage
• ✅ Documentation and usage examples
• ⚠️ Full test suite execution (requires Go module isolation)

Verified Working Test

cd test/fuse_integration
go test -v simple_test.go

Current Testing Gaps Addressed

1. Limited Functional Coverage

• Current: Only basic FIO performance tests
• New: Comprehensive testing of all FUSE operations (create, read, write, delete, mkdir, rmdir, permissions, etc.)

2. No Concurrency Testing

• Current: Single-threaded performance tests
• New: Extensive concurrent operation tests, race condition detection, thread safety validation

3. Insufficient Error Handling

• Current: Basic error scenarios
• New: Comprehensive error condition testing, edge cases, failure recovery

4. Missing Edge Cases

• Current: Simple file operations
• New: Large files, sparse files, deep directory nesting, many small files, permission variations

Framework Architecture

Core Components

1. framework.go - Test infrastructure and utilities

   • FuseTestFramework - Main test management struct
   • Automated SeaweedFS cluster setup/teardown
   • FUSE mount/unmount management
   • Helper functions for file operations and assertions

2. basic_operations_test.go - Fundamental FUSE operations

   • File create, read, write, delete
   • File attributes and permissions
   • Large file handling
   • Sparse file operations

3. directory_operations_test.go - Directory-specific tests

   • Directory creation, deletion, listing
   • Nested directory structures
   • Directory permissions and rename operations
   • Complex directory scenarios

4. concurrent_operations_test.go - Concurrency and stress testing

   • Concurrent file and directory operations
   • Race condition detection
   • High-frequency operations
   • Stress testing scenarios

Key Features

Automated Test Environment

framework := NewFuseTestFramework(t, DefaultTestConfig())
defer framework.Cleanup()
require.NoError(t, framework.Setup(DefaultTestConfig()))

• Automatic cluster setup: Master, Volume, Filer servers
• FUSE mounting: Proper mount point management
• Cleanup: Automatic teardown of all resources

Configurable Test Parameters

config := &TestConfig{
    Collection:   "test",
    Replication:  "001", 
    ChunkSizeMB:  8,
    CacheSizeMB:  200,
    NumVolumes:   5,
    EnableDebug:  true,
    MountOptions: []string{"-allowOthers"},
}

Rich Assertion Helpers

framework.AssertFileExists("path/to/file")
framework.AssertFileContent("file.txt", expectedContent)
framework.AssertFileMode("script.sh", 0755)
framework.CreateTestFile("test.txt", []byte("content"))

Test Categories

1. Basic File Operations

• Create/Read/Write/Delete: Fundamental file operations
• File Attributes: Size, timestamps, permissions
• Append Operations: File appending behavior
• Large Files: Files exceeding chunk size limits
• Sparse Files: Non-contiguous file data

2. Directory Operations

• Directory Lifecycle: Create, list, remove directories
• Nested Structures: Deep directory hierarchies
• Directory Permissions: Access control testing
• Directory Rename: Move operations
• Complex Scenarios: Many files, deep nesting

3. Concurrent Operations

• Multi-threaded Access: Simultaneous file operations
• Race Condition Detection: Concurrent read/write scenarios
• Directory Concurrency: Parallel directory operations
• Stress Testing: High-frequency operations

4. Error Handling & Edge Cases

• Permission Denied: Access control violations
• Disk Full: Storage limit scenarios
• Network Issues: Filer/Volume server failures
• Invalid Operations: Malformed requests
• Recovery Testing: Error recovery scenarios

Usage Examples

Basic Test Run

# Build SeaweedFS binary
make

# Run all FUSE tests
cd test/fuse_integration
go test -v

# Run specific test category
go test -v -run TestBasicFileOperations
go test -v -run TestConcurrentFileOperations

Custom Configuration

func TestCustomFUSE(t *testing.T) {
    config := &TestConfig{
        ChunkSizeMB:  16,           // Larger chunks
        CacheSizeMB:  500,          // More cache
        EnableDebug:  true,         // Debug output
        SkipCleanup:  true,         // Keep files for inspection
    }
    
    framework := NewFuseTestFramework(t, config)
    defer framework.Cleanup()
    require.NoError(t, framework.Setup(config))
    
    // Your tests here...
}

Debugging Failed Tests

config := &TestConfig{
    EnableDebug:  true,     // Enable verbose logging
    SkipCleanup:  true,     // Keep temp files for inspection
}

Advanced Features

Performance Benchmarking

func BenchmarkLargeFileWrite(b *testing.B) {
    framework := NewFuseTestFramework(t, DefaultTestConfig())
    defer framework.Cleanup()
    require.NoError(t, framework.Setup(DefaultTestConfig()))
    
    b.ResetTimer()
    for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
        // Benchmark file operations
    }
}

Custom Test Scenarios

func TestCustomWorkload(t *testing.T) {
    framework := NewFuseTestFramework(t, DefaultTestConfig())
    defer framework.Cleanup()
    require.NoError(t, framework.Setup(DefaultTestConfig()))
    
    // Simulate specific application workload
