Description

GstHarness is meant to make writing unit test for GStreamer much easier. It can be thought of as a way of treating a GstElement as a black box, deterministically feeding it data, and controlling what data it outputs.

The basic structure of GstHarness is two "floating" GstPads that connect to the harnessed GstElement src and sink GstPads like so:

          __________________________
 _____   |  _____            _____  |   _____
|     |  | |     |          |     | |  |     |
| src |--+-| sink|  Element | src |-+--| sink|
|_____|  | |_____|          |_____| |  |_____|
         |__________________________|

With this, you can now simulate any environment the GstElement might find itself in. By specifying the GstCaps of the harness GstPads, using functions like gst_harness_set_src_caps() or gst_harness_set_sink_caps_str(), you can test how the GstElement interacts with different caps sets.

Your harnessed GstElement can of course also be a bin, and using gst_harness_new_parse() supporting standard gst-launch syntax, you can easily test a whole pipeline instead of just one element.

You can then go on to push GstBuffers and GstEvents on to the srcpad, using functions like gst_harness_push() and gst_harness_push_event(), and then pull them out to examine them with gst_harness_pull() and gst_harness_pull_event().

#include <gst/gst.h>
#include <gst/check/gstharness.h>
GstHarness *h;
GstBuffer *in_buf;
GstBuffer *out_buf;

// attach the harness to the src and sink pad of GstQueue
h = gst_harness_new ("queue");

// we must specify a caps before pushing buffers
gst_harness_set_src_caps_str (h, "mycaps");

// create a buffer of size 42
in_buf = gst_harness_create_buffer (h, 42);

// push the buffer into the queue
gst_harness_push (h, in_buf);

// pull the buffer from the queue
out_buf = gst_harness_pull (h);

// validate the buffer in is the same as buffer out
fail_unless (in_buf == out_buf);

// cleanup
gst_buffer_unref (out_buf);
gst_harness_teardown (h);


Another main feature of the GstHarness is its integration with the GstTestClock. Operating the GstTestClock can be very challenging, but GstHarness simplifies some of the most desired actions a lot, like wanting to manually advance the clock while at the same time releasing a GstClockID that is waiting, with functions like gst_harness_crank_single_clock_wait().

GstHarness also supports sub-harnesses, as a way of generating and validating data. A sub-harness is another GstHarness that is managed by the "parent" harness, and can either be created by using the standard gst_harness_new type functions directly on the (GstHarness *)->src_harness, or using the much more convenient gst_harness_add_src() or gst_harness_add_sink_parse(). If you have a decoder-element you want to test, (like vp8dec) it can be very useful to add a src-harness with both a src-element (videotestsrc) and an encoder (vp8enc) to feed the decoder data with different configurations, by simply doing:

Example 2. 

1
2
GstHarness * h = gst_harness_new (h, "vp8dec");
gst_harness_add_src_parse (h, "videotestsrc is-live=1 ! vp8enc", TRUE);


and then feeding it data with:

gst_harness_crank_single_clock_wait ()

gboolean            gst_harness_crank_single_clock_wait (GstHarness *h);

A "crank" consists of three steps: 1: Wait for a GstClockID to be registered with the GstTestClock. 2: Advance the GstTestClock to the time the GstClockID is waiting for. 3: Release the GstClockID wait. Together, this provides an easy way to not have to think about the details around clocks and time, but still being able to write deterministic tests that are dependant on this. A "crank" can be though of as the notion of manually driving the clock forward to its next logical step.

Similar to gst_harness_crank_single_clock_wait(), this is the function to use if your harnessed element(s) are using more then one gst_clock_id_wait. Failing to do so can (and will) make it racy which GstClockID you actually are releasing, where as this function will process all the waits at the same time, ensuring that one thread can't register another wait before both are released.

GstElements without a sink-GstPad and with the GST_ELEMENT_FLAG_SOURCE flag set is concidered a src GstElement Non-src GstElements (like sinks and filters) are automatically set to playing by the GstHarness, but src GstElements are not to avoid them starting to produce buffers.

Can be useful when wanting to control a src-element that is not implementing gst_clock_id_wait() so it can't be controlled by the GstTestClock, since it otherwise would produce buffers as fast as possible.

As a convenience, a src-harness will forward GST_EVENT_STREAM_START, GST_EVENT_CAPS and GST_EVENT_SEGMENT to the main-harness if forwarding is enabled, and forward any sticky-events from the main-harness to the sink-harness. It will also forward the GST_QUERY_ALLOCATION.

If forwarding is disabled, the user will have to either manually push these events from the src-harness using gst_harness_src_push_event(), or create and push them manually. While this will allow full control and inspection of these events, for the most cases having forwarding enabled will be sufficient when writing a test where the src-harness' main function is providing data for the main-harness.

Forwarding is enabled by default.

A src-harness is a great way of providing the GstHarness with data. By adding a src-type GstElement, it is then easy to use functions like gst_harness_push_from_src or gst_harness_src_crank_and_push_many to provide your harnessed element with input. The has_clock_wait variable is a greate way to control you src-element with, in that you can have it produce a buffer for you by simply cranking the clock, and not have it spin out of control producing buffers as fast as possible.

If a src-harness already exists it will be replaced.

Similar to gst_harness_add_src, this allows you to specify a launch-line, which can be useful for both having more then one GstElement acting as your src (Like a src producing raw buffers, and then an encoder, providing encoded data), but also by allowing you to set properties like "is-live" directly on the elements.

gst_harness_push_from_src ()

GstFlowReturn       gst_harness_push_from_src           (GstHarness *h);

Transfer data from the src-GstHarness to the main-GstHarness. It consists of 4 steps: 1: Make sure the src is started. (see: gst_harness_play) 2: Crank the clock (see: gst_harness_crank_single_clock_wait) 3: Pull a GstBuffer from the src-GstHarness (see: gst_harness_pull) 4: Push the same GstBuffer into the main-GstHarness (see: gst_harness_push)

Transfer data from the src-GstHarness to the main-GstHarness. Similar to gst_harness_push_from_src, this variant allows you to specify how many cranks and how many pushes to perform. This can be useful for both moving a lot of data at the same time, as well as cases when one crank does not equal one buffer to push and v.v.

Similar to gst_harness_add_src, this allows you to send the data coming out of your harnessed GstElement to a sink-element, allowing to test different responses the element output might create in sink elements. An example might be an existing sink providing some analytical data on the input it receives that can be useful to your testing. If the goal is to test a sink-element itself, this is better acheived using gst_harness_new directly on the sink.

If a sink-harness already exists it will be replaced.
