# EndToEnd Test Framework

pyOpenPASS

This tool acts as configurable executor for complete sets of configs for the openPASS simulation. The test framework is located at `sim/tests/endToEndTests/pyOpenPASS`.

## Prerequisites

The test framework is based on Python and some additional Python modules. Installation of the required modules can be accomplished using `pip`. Please refer to the file `requirements.txt` located in the source code repository at `sim/tests/endToEndTests/pyOpenPASS` for a list of dependencies. See Installing openPASS for instructions on repository checkout.

The requirements file can be directly passed to `pip` for installation:

    pip install -r requirements.txt

(executed from `sim/tests/endToEndTests/pyOpenPASS`)

Warning

`pip install` will try to fetch precompiled packages by default. If it is unable to locate a binary package for the current environment, packages will be compiled from source. This step fails for the `numpy` package when being built from the MSYS2 environment. Thus, it is recommended to set up a native Windows Python environment and perform the installation there. To force the usage of a specific Python environment, the variable `Python3_EXECUTABLE` can be set to the indended Python interpreter executable during cmake configuration (see Installing openPASS).

## Execution

As pyOpenPASS is a pytest plugin (and is not yet a standalone-plugin) it will be automatically executed, when pytest finds its entry-point `conftest.py` (= local-pytest-plugin) next to files named `test_*.json`. So test files must be copied into the pyOpenPASS directory before execution.

    pytest
      --simulation=SIMULATION_EXE     # path to simulation executable, e.g. /openPASS/bin/opSimulation
      --mutual=MUTUAL_RESOURCES_PATH  # path to mutual config files for all runs, e.g. /openPASS/bin/examples/common
      --resources=RESOURCES_PATH      # path from where configs are retrieved - override common files if necessary
      --report-path=REPORT_PATH       # path to where the report shall be stored
      TEST_FILE                       # file under test, named `test_*.json`

Note

You can use additional pytest arguments, such as `-v` for verbose output, `--collect-only` for listing the available tests and so on (see https://docs.pytest.org).

In addition pyOpenPASS supports the following optional arguments:

    --configs-path=INPUT             # path for providing configs during testing
    --results-path=OUTPUT            # path for collecting test results during testing
    --artifacts-path=ARTIFACTS       # path for collecting test artifacts during testing

For each specified `test_*.json` a corresponding `test_*.html` will be generated.

Warning

Depending on the names of the config file sets and test cases configured in the JSON file, the resulting collection of artifacts might conflict with a specific path length limit. This limit can be increased by setting the Windows Registry key variable `LongPathsEnabled` to 1. The variable can be accessed at `Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem\LongPathsEnabled`. Please note that the limit cannot be disabled completely. Resulting error messages are often misleading (e.g. `File not found` where the file actually exists or `shutil.py 2`, etc.).

## Test Configuration

Test configuiration is by the test-json file, individually for each test. Depending on the users choice, three different tests runners are executed:

1. Determinism: Check executability of configs + Determinism test (1 x n vs n x 1 tests).

2. Parameterized: Check executability of configs using different parameters.

3. Query: Execute config and check for specific results in the output of the simulator, given one or more queries.

In general, the test-json splits into two sections:

1. Definition of `Configuration Sets`

2. Definition of `Tests` using the `Configuration Sets` or a single `Config` directly

Note

Whenever possible, pyOpenPASS re-uses the results to speed up result analysis.

                        "mean(VelocityEgo | AgentId != 0) > 30"

                }
            }
        }
    }

- If the success_rate is specified, its values must be between 0 and 1.

- It is also possible to define a range of success (e.g. for excluding 100%) by using the following syntax:

      "success_rate": [0.8, 0.99] // 80% to 99% need to pass

## Querying Results

### Basic Syntax

    [aggregate]([column] | [filter]) [operator] [value]

- Aggregate: Everything pandas supports on dataframes, such as pandas.DataFrame.count, min, max, mean

- Column: A column on which the aggregate should operate.

  Columns are generally given by the simulation outputs cyclic columns, such as `PositionRoute`. In addition the following columns are available:

  - `AgentId`

  - From the tag `Agents` (see `simulationOutput.xml`):

    - `AgentTypeGroupName`

    - `AgentTypeName`

    - `VehicleModelType`

    - `DriverProfileName`

    - `AgentType`

  - Everything from the tag `RunStatistics` (see `simulationOutput.xml`), which is currently:

    - `RandomSeed`

    - `VisibilityDistance`

    - `StopReason`

    - `StopTime`

    - `EgoAccident`

    - `TotalDistanceTraveled`

    - `EgoDistanceTraveled`

- Filter: A filter based on pandas.DataFrame.filter syntax using the available columns.

- Operator: A comparison operator from the following list: ==, <=, >=, <, >, !=, ~= (approximate). The approximate operator allows `1*e-6 x value` as maximum deviation from value.

- Value: A number

Note

In seldom cases, the filter can be skipped, e.g. when securing that no agent has been spawned: `count(AgentId) == 0`.

Example

    count(AgentId | PositionRoute >= 800 and Lane != -3) == 0

### Using Events in Filter

In order to query for a specific event, use `#(EVENT)` within the filter syntax.

Example

    count(AgentId | PositionRoute >= 800 and #(Collision) == True) == 0

#### Event Payload

Each event is associated with a set of triggering entity ids, affected entity ids, and arbitrary key/value pairs (please refer to the openPASS documentation for details). This information is transformed into a “per agent” scope.

In the following the `Collision` event is taken as example.

TriggeringEntity

All agents, flagged as triggering become `IsTriggering`

Query: `#(Collision):IsTriggering == True`

AffectedEntity

All agents, flagged as affected become `IsAffected`

Query: `#(Collision):IsAffected == True`

Key/Value Pairs

If an event publishes additional payload with the key `XYZ`, it will can be queried by `#(EVENT):XYZ`.

Query: `#(Collision):WithAgent`

Warning

Keys carrying the event name as prefix, such as in `#(Collision):CollisionWithAgent`, will be stripped to `Collision:WithAgent`

#### Query Example

No agent should collide with agent 0:
`count(AgentId | AgentId == 0 and #(Collision):WithAgent == 1) == 0`

### Using openSCENARIO Events

OpenScenario events are processed in the same manner as regular events (see above).

This allows to query for occurrences of openSCENARIO events with a name specified within the following xpath: `OpenSCENARIO/Story/Act/Sequence/Maneuver/Event/@name`

openSCENARIO Event Definition

    <Story name="TheStory">
      <Act name="TheAct">
        <Sequence name="TheSequence" numberOfExecutions="1">
          ...
          <Maneuver name="TheManeuver">
            ...
            <!-- example name "ttc_event"-->
            <Event name="ttc_event" priority="overwrite">
            ...
              <StartConditions>
                <ConditionGroup>
                  <Condition name="Conditional">
                    <ByEntity>
                      ...
                      <EntityCondition>
                         <TimeToCollision>
                           ...
                         </TimeToCollision>
                      </EntityCondition>
                    </ByEntity>
                  </Condition>
                </ConditionGroup>
              </StartConditions>
            </Event>
            ...
          </Maneuver>
        </Sequence>
      </Act>
    </Story>

Example openPASS Output

    <Event Time="0" Source="OpenSCENARIO" Name="TheStory/TheAct/TheSequence/TheManeuver/ttc_event">
        <TriggeringEntities/>
        <AffectedEntities>
            <Entity Id="1"/>
        </AffectedEntities>
        <Parameters/>
    </Event>

Query

`count(AgentId | #(TheStory/TheAct/TheSequence/TheManeuver/ttc_event) == True ) > 0`

### Querying Transitions

Sometimes it is necessary to check, whether a transition happened, such as counting agents, passing a certain position.

This can be achieved by shifting individual columns by `N` time steps.

Time Shift Syntax

`Column-Shift` => `PositionRoute-1` means PositionRoute at one time step earlier

Example Use Case

Counting agents passing `PositionRoute == 350` on `LaneId == -1`

Query

`count(AgentId | LaneId == -1 and PositionRoute-1 < 350 and PositionRoute >= 350 ) > 0`

Warning

In seldom cases, a result column happens to have a name like `Name-N` where `N` is an integer. Querying this column would automatically apply time shifting (default behavior) leading to a parsing error. In such cases, escape the column name with single quotes (e.g. `'Name-1'`).

### Querying Spawning Time

Queries can be restricted to the spawning time:

Query

`count(AgentId | Timestep == {first} and Velocity < 30) == 0`

Warning

`Timestep == {first}` must be the first parameter in the filter and can only succeeded by `and`.

### Explicit Datatypes

pyOpenPASS uses Pandas DataFrames internally. Pandas will try to detect the datatype of the individual cyclic columns automatically. This won’t fit the user’s intention in some cases, such as when the column holds a semicolon separated list of integers but every list contains just one element. In such cases it is impossible to distinguish between integers and strings based on the data.

For this reason, datatypes can be specified explicitly along with a query:

    "queries": [ ... ],
    "datatypes": {
        "Sensor0_DetectedAgents": "str" // string with "missing value" support
    }

## Dev Notes

If you want to execute/debug pyOpenPASS in VS-Code, you can add a configuration, similar to the one shown below, to the `launch.json` after opening pyOpenPASS as VS-Code project:

    "configurations": [
    {
        "name": "pytest-openpass",
        "type": "python",
        "module": "pytest",
