Details¶

class GstCheck.Harness¶

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

The basic structure of GstCheck.Harness is two “floating” Gst.Pads that connect to the harnessed Gst.Element src and sink Gst.Pads like so:

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

With this, you can now simulate any environment the Gst.Element might find itself in. By specifying the Gst.Caps of the harness Gst.Pads, using functions like GstCheck.Harness.set_src_caps() or GstCheck.Harness.set_sink_caps_str(), you can test how the Gst.Element interacts with different caps sets.

Your harnessed Gst.Element 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 Gst.Buffers and Gst.Events on to the srcpad, using functions like GstCheck.Harness.push() and GstCheck.Harness.push_event(), and then pull them out to examine them with GstCheck.Harness.pull() and GstCheck.Harness.pull_event().

A simple buffer-in buffer-out example

#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 GstCheck.Harness is its integration with the GstCheck.TestClock. Operating the GstCheck.TestClock can be very challenging, but GstCheck.Harness 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 GstCheck.Harness.crank_single_clock_wait().

GstCheck.Harness also supports sub-harnesses, as a way of generating and validating data. A sub-harness is another GstCheck.Harness that is managed by the “parent” harness, and can either be created by using the standard gst_harness_new type functions directly on the (GstCheck.Harness *)->src_harness, or using the much more convenient GstCheck.Harness.add_src() or GstCheck.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:

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

and then feeding it data with:

gst_harness_push_from_src (h);

classmethod stress_thread_stop(t)¶

Parameters:: t (GstCheck.HarnessThread) – a GstCheck.HarnessThread
Return type:: int

MT safe.

New in version 1.6.

add_element_sink_pad(sinkpad)¶

Parameters:: sinkpad (Gst.Pad) – a Gst.Pad to link to the harness srcpad

Links the specified Gst.Pad the GstHarness srcpad.

MT safe.

New in version 1.6.

add_element_src_pad(srcpad)¶

Parameters:: srcpad (Gst.Pad) – a Gst.Pad to link to the harness sinkpad

Links the specified Gst.Pad the GstHarness sinkpad. This can be useful if perhaps the srcpad did not exist at the time of creating the harness, like a demuxer that provides a sometimes-pad after receiving data.

MT safe.

New in version 1.6.

add_probe(element_name, pad_name, mask, callback, *user_data)¶

Parameters:

element_name (str) – a str with a Gst.ElementFactory name
pad_name (str) – a str with the name of the pad to attach the probe to
mask (Gst.PadProbeType) – a Gst.PadProbeType (see Gst.Pad.add_probe)
callback (Gst.PadProbeCallback) – a Gst.PadProbeCallback (see Gst.Pad.add_probe)
user_data (object or None) – a object (see Gst.Pad.add_probe)

A convenience function to allows you to call Gst.Pad.add_probe on a Gst.Pad of a Gst.Element that are residing inside the GstCheck.Harness, by using normal Gst.Pad.add_probe syntax

MT safe.

New in version 1.6.

add_propose_allocation_meta(api, params)¶

Parameters:

api (GObject.GType) – a metadata API
params (Gst.Structure or None) – API specific parameters

Add api with params as one of the supported metadata API to propose when receiving an allocation query.

MT safe.

New in version 1.16.

add_sink(sink_element_name)¶

Parameters:: sink_element_name (str) – a str with the name of a Gst.Element

Similar to GstCheck.Harness.add_sink_harness, this is a convenience to directly create a sink-harness using the sink_element_name name specified.

MT safe.

New in version 1.6.

add_sink_harness(sink_harness)¶

Parameters:: sink_harness (GstCheck.Harness) – a GstCheck.Harness to be added as a sink-harness.

Similar to GstCheck.Harness.add_src, this allows you to send the data coming out of your harnessed Gst.Element 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 achieved using gst_harness_new directly on the sink.

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

MT safe.

New in version 1.6.

add_sink_parse(launchline)¶

Parameters:: launchline (str) – a str with the name of a Gst.Element

Similar to GstCheck.Harness.add_sink, this allows you to specify a launch-line instead of just an element name. See GstCheck.Harness.add_src_parse for details.

MT safe.

New in version 1.6.

add_src(src_element_name, has_clock_wait)¶

Parameters:

src_element_name (str) – a str with the name of a Gst.Element
has_clock_wait (bool) – a bool specifying if the Gst.Element uses gst_clock_wait_id internally.

Similar to GstCheck.Harness.add_src_harness, this is a convenience to directly create a src-harness using the src_element_name name specified.

MT safe.

New in version 1.6.

add_src_harness(src_harness, has_clock_wait)¶

Parameters:

src_harness (GstCheck.Harness) – a GstCheck.Harness to be added as a src-harness.
has_clock_wait (bool) – a bool specifying if the Gst.Element uses gst_clock_wait_id internally.

A src-harness is a great way of providing the GstCheck.Harness with data. By adding a src-type Gst.Element, it is then easy to use functions like GstCheck.Harness.push_from_src or GstCheck.Harness.src_crank_and_push_many to provide your harnessed element with input. The has_clock_wait variable is a great 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.

MT safe.

New in version 1.6.

add_src_parse(launchline, has_clock_wait)¶

Parameters:

launchline (str) – a str describing a gst-launch type line
has_clock_wait (bool) – a bool specifying if the Gst.Element uses gst_clock_wait_id internally.

Similar to GstCheck.Harness.add_src, this allows you to specify a launch-line, which can be useful for both having more then one Gst.Element 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.

MT safe.

New in version 1.6.

buffers_in_queue()¶

Returns:: a int number of buffers in the queue
Return type:: int

The number of Gst.Buffers currently in the GstCheck.Harness sinkpad GLib.AsyncQueue

MT safe.

New in version 1.6.

buffers_received()¶

Returns:: a int number of buffers received
Return type:: int

The total number of Gst.Buffers that has arrived on the GstCheck.Harness sinkpad. This number includes buffers that have been dropped as well as buffers that have already been pulled out.

MT safe.

New in version 1.6.

crank_multiple_clock_waits(waits)¶

Parameters:: waits (int) – a int describing the number of #GstClockIDs to crank
Returns:: a gboolean True if the “crank” was successful, False if not.
Return type:: bool

Similar to GstCheck.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.

MT safe.

New in version 1.6.

crank_single_clock_wait()¶

Returns:: a gboolean True if the “crank” was successful, False if not.
Return type:: bool

A “crank” consists of three steps: 1: Wait for a #GstClockID to be registered with the GstCheck.TestClock. 2: Advance the GstCheck.TestClock 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 dependent on this. A “crank” can be though of as the notion of manually driving the clock forward to its next logical step.

MT safe.

New in version 1.6.

create_buffer(size)¶

Parameters:: size (int) – a #gsize specifying the size of the buffer
Returns:: a Gst.Buffer of size size

MT safe.

New in version 1.6.

find_element(element_name)¶

Parameters:: element_name (str) – a str with a Gst.ElementFactory name
Returns:: a Gst.Element or None if not found
Return type:: Gst.Element or None

Most useful in conjunction with gst_harness_new_parse, this will scan the Gst.Elements inside the GstCheck.Harness, and check if any of them matches element_name. Typical usecase being that you need to access one of the harnessed elements for properties and/or signals.

MT safe.

New in version 1.6.

get_allocator()¶

MT safe.

New in version 1.6.

get_testclock()¶

Returns:: a GstCheck.TestClock, or None if the testclock is not present.
Return type:: GstCheck.TestClock or None

Get the GstCheck.TestClock. Useful if specific operations on the testclock is needed.

MT safe.

play()¶

This will set the harnessed Gst.Element to Gst.State.PLAYING. Gst.Elements without a sink-Gst.Pad and with the Gst.ElementFlags.SOURCE flag set is considered a src Gst.Element Non-src Gst.Elements (like sinks and filters) are automatically set to playing by the GstCheck.Harness, but src Gst.Elements are not to avoid them starting to produce buffers. Hence, for src Gst.Element you must call GstCheck.Harness.play() explicitly.

MT safe.

New in version 1.6.

pull()¶

Returns:: a Gst.Buffer or None if timed out.
Return type:: Gst.Buffer or None

Pulls a Gst.Buffer from the GLib.AsyncQueue on the GstCheck.Harness sinkpad. The pull will timeout in 60 seconds. This is the standard way of getting a buffer from a harnessed Gst.Element.

Setting this will make the harness block in the chain-function, and then release when GstCheck.Harness.pull() or GstCheck.Harness.try_pull() is called. 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 GstCheck.TestClock, since it otherwise would produce buffers as fast as possible.

MT safe.

New in version 1.6.

set_caps(in_, out)¶

Parameters:

in (Gst.Caps) – a Gst.Caps to set on the harness srcpad
out (Gst.Caps) – a Gst.Caps to set on the harness sinkpad

Sets the GstHarness srcpad and sinkpad caps.

MT safe.

New in version 1.6.

set_caps_str(in_, out)¶

Parameters:

in (str) – a gchar describing a Gst.Caps to set on the harness srcpad
out (str) – a gchar describing a Gst.Caps to set on the harness sinkpad

Sets the GstHarness srcpad and sinkpad caps using strings.

MT safe.

New in version 1.6.

set_drop_buffers(drop_buffers)¶

Parameters:: drop_buffers (bool) – a bool specifying to drop outgoing buffers or not

When set to True, instead of placing the buffers arriving from the harnessed Gst.Element inside the sinkpads GLib.AsyncQueue, they are instead unreffed.

MT safe.

New in version 1.6.

set_forwarding(forwarding)¶

Parameters:: forwarding (bool) – a bool to enable/disable forwarding

As a convenience, a src-harness will forward Gst.EventType.STREAM_START, Gst.EventType.CAPS and Gst.EventType.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.QueryType.ALLOCATION.

If forwarding is disabled, the user will have to either manually push these events from the src-harness using GstCheck.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.

MT safe.

New in version 1.6.

set_live(is_live)¶

Parameters:: is_live (bool) – True for live, False for non-live

MT safe.

New in version 1.6.

src_push_event()¶

Returns:: a bool with the result of the push
Return type:: bool

Similar to what gst_harness_src_push does with Gst.Buffers, this transfers a Gst.Event from the src-GstCheck.Harness to the main-GstCheck.Harness. Note that some Gst.Events are being transferred automagically. Look at sink_forward_pad for details.
