Jaroslava Fiedlerova 9617344464 CI: pass pre-computed branch from orchestrator to downstream jobs
Jenkinsfile-GitLab-Container now constructs CI testing branch as
{sourceBranch}-{sourceCommit} and passes it explicitly to all downstream
jobs. Both Jenkinsfile and Jenkinsfile-push-local-repo consume it via
params.branch instead of independently reconstructing the name, ensuring
that the branch pushed by RAN-Local-Repo-Push and the branch checked out
by test jobs are always identical.

This document outlines how to use the OAI CI framework and gives a quickstart.

[[TOC]]

Quickstart

There is a script main.py that

  • reads scenario files from XML
  • executes the steps (e.g., deployment of CN/gNB/UE, attach, ping, ...)

To simplify, a script run_locally.sh can be used to run a single scenario locally. First, download images for gNB&UE (we assume you already downloaded the CN) and tag them "latest", which is expected by run_locally.sh:

docker pull oaisoftwarealliance/oai-gnb:develop
docker tag oaisoftwarealliance/oai-gnb:develop oai-gnb
docker pull oaisoftwarealliance/oai-nr-ue:develop
docker tag oaisoftwarealliance/oai-nr-ue:develop oai-nr-ue

Now, run the scenario:

cd ~/openairinterface5g/ci-scripts/
./run_locally.sh xml_files/container_5g_rfsim_simple.xml

Output should look like

it will run an end-to-end test, connecting one UE to the gNB, and ping, before undeploying. As shown, logs will be under /home/richie/oai/cmake_targets/log/container_5g_rfsim_simple.xml.d/. The python code also produces an HTML report in ci-scripts/test_results.html.

Running with local changes

In order to run the tests as above, with local changes, please build images locally.

It is not yet possible to override an existing image with changes made locally to a source file and run it directly through the CI framework. However, it is possible to override an existing image with local changes, and run the scenario manually following the console logs steps provided above. This is described in the 5G RFsimulator README.
