Continuous Integration TS test coverage

This GitHub action sets OpenModelicaLibraryTesting scripts up and runs them on a provided Modelica package and returns a summary of the test report.

The action will set output variables that can be checked how many tests passed simulation and verification. It will fail if at least one test is failing.

Table of Contents

Inputs

library

Name of Modelica package to test.

library-version

Version of the Modelica package library as specified in version annotation.

Note

Wrap numbers in ' to ensure parsing them as strings and not a number.

library-version: '1.0'

modelica-file

Relative path (from git repository root) to Modelica file containing package to test.
Default: 'package.mo'

omc-version

Version of OpenModelica used for testing. Add OpenModelica/setup-openmodelica to your workflow to setup OpenModelica.
Default: 'stable'

reference-files-dir

Relative path (from git repository root) to reference files to compare simulation results to.
Default: ''

reference-files-extension

File extension of result files.
Allowed values: 'mat', 'csv'
Default: 'mat'

reference-files-delimiter

Character to separate model names in reference files. E.g. for Modelica.Blocks.Examples.PID_Controller.mat it would be '.'
Default: '.'

Outputs

The action will fail if one test fails. In addition the following outputs can be used to determine the testing results.

simulation-tests-passing

'True' if all simulation tests are passing, 'False' otherwise.

n-simulation-passing

Number of successful simulation tests.

verification-tests-passing

'True' if all verification tests are passing, 'False' otherwise.

n-verification-passing

Number of successful verification tests.

Artifacts

HTML Results

Download the MyLibrary.html.zip artifact, unzip it and start a HTML server to display the results. This can be used to host results on a server or GitHub pages.

unzip MyLibrary.html.zip -d html
python -m http.server -d html

GitHub Pages

It's possible to deploy the test results to GitHub pages. On option

# [...]
jobs:
  library-testing:
    # [...]

  deploy:
    needs: library-testing
    permissions:
      contents: write
    if: ${{ always() }}
    concurrency: ci-${{ github.ref }} # Recommended if you intend to make multiple deployments in quick succession.
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

Demo

This action tests Modelica library MyLibrary consisting of two models from the Modelica Standard Library and compares them to reference results in examples/ReferenceFiles taken from https://github.com/modelica/MAP-LIB_ReferenceResults. The reference results for MyLibrary.Blocks.Examples.PID_Controller are altered to check that verification will fail for variables spring.w_rel, spring.phi_rel, inertia1.w and inertia1.phi.

The expected output is:

Development

To install and build run:

npm install
npm run package

Testing will install some Python packages. It's useful to setup a virtual Python environment in your shell before starting the tests:

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
npm run test

Tip

On Windows use Conda to choose a Python interpreter and then setup a virtual environment. Use PowerShell to activate .\.venv\Scripts\activate the environment. Msys2 doesn't install Python packages via pip, so it won't work with this script.
