# SeaweedFS FUSE Integration Testing Framework

## Overview

This directory contains a comprehensive integration testing framework for SeaweedFS FUSE operations. The current SeaweedFS FUSE tests are primarily performance-focused (using FIO) but lack comprehensive functional testing. This framework addresses those gaps.

## ⚠️ Current Status

**Note**: Due to Go module conflicts between this test framework and the parent SeaweedFS module, the full test suite currently requires manual setup. The framework files are provided as a foundation for comprehensive FUSE testing once the module structure is resolved.

### Working Components
- ✅ Framework design and architecture (`framework.go`)
- ✅ Individual test file structure and compilation
- ✅ Test methodology and comprehensive coverage
- ✅ Documentation and usage examples
- ⚠️ Full test suite execution (requires Go module isolation)

### Verified Working Test
```bash
cd test/fuse_integration
go test -v simple_test.go
```

## Current Testing Gaps Addressed

### 1. **Limited Functional Coverage**
- **Current**: Only basic FIO performance tests
- **New**: Comprehensive testing of all FUSE operations (create, read, write, delete, mkdir, rmdir, permissions, etc.)

### 2. **No Concurrency Testing**
- **Current**: Single-threaded performance tests
- **New**: Extensive concurrent operation tests, race condition detection, thread safety validation

### 3. **Insufficient Error Handling**
- **Current**: Basic error scenarios
- **New**: Comprehensive error condition testing, edge cases, failure recovery

### 4. **Missing Edge Cases**
- **Current**: Simple file operations
- **New**: Large files, sparse files, deep directory nesting, many small files, permission variations

## Framework Architecture

### Core Components

1. **`framework.go`** - Test infrastructure and utilities
   - `FuseTestFramework` - Main test management struct
   - Automated SeaweedFS cluster setup/teardown
   - FUSE mount/unmount management
   - Helper functions for file operations and assertions

2. **`basic_operations_test.go`** - Fundamental FUSE operations
   - File create, read, write, delete
   - File attributes and permissions
   - Large file handling
   - Sparse file operations

3. **`directory_operations_test.go`** - Directory-specific tests
   - Directory creation, deletion, listing
   - Nested directory structures
   - Directory permissions and rename operations
   - Complex directory scenarios

4. **`concurrent_operations_test.go`** - Concurrency and stress testing
   - Concurrent file and directory operations
   - Race condition detection
   - High-frequency operations
   - Stress testing scenarios

## Key Features

### Automated Test Environment
```go
framework := NewFuseTestFramework(t, DefaultTestConfig())
defer framework.Cleanup()
require.NoError(t, framework.Setup(DefaultTestConfig()))
```

- **Automatic cluster setup**: Master, Volume, Filer servers
- **FUSE mounting**: Proper mount point management
- **Cleanup**: Automatic teardown of all resources

### Configurable Test Parameters
```go
config := &TestConfig{
    Collection:   "test",
    Replication:  "001", 
    ChunkSizeMB:  8,
    CacheSizeMB:  200,
    NumVolumes:   5,
    EnableDebug:  true,
    MountOptions: []string{"-allowOthers"},
}
```

### Rich Assertion Helpers
```go
framework.AssertFileExists("path/to/file")
framework.AssertFileContent("file.txt", expectedContent)
framework.AssertFileMode("script.sh", 0755)
framework.CreateTestFile("test.txt", []byte("content"))
```

## Test Categories

### 1. Basic File Operations
- **Create/Read/Write/Delete**: Fundamental file operations
- **File Attributes**: Size, timestamps, permissions
- **Append Operations**: File appending behavior
- **Large Files**: Files exceeding chunk size limits
- **Sparse Files**: Non-contiguous file data

### 2. Directory Operations  
- **Directory Lifecycle**: Create, list, remove directories
- **Nested Structures**: Deep directory hierarchies
- **Directory Permissions**: Access control testing
- **Directory Rename**: Move operations
- **Complex Scenarios**: Many files, deep nesting

### 3. Concurrent Operations
- **Multi-threaded Access**: Simultaneous file operations
- **Race Condition Detection**: Concurrent read/write scenarios
- **Directory Concurrency**: Parallel directory operations
- **Stress Testing**: High-frequency operations

### 4. Error Handling & Edge Cases
- **Permission Denied**: Access control violations
- **Disk Full**: Storage limit scenarios
- **Network Issues**: Filer/Volume server failures
- **Invalid Operations**: Malformed requests
- **Recovery Testing**: Error recovery scenarios

## Usage Examples

### Basic Test Run
```bash
# Build SeaweedFS binary
make

# Run all FUSE tests
cd test/fuse_integration
go test -v

# Run specific test category
go test -v -run TestBasicFileOperations
go test -v -run TestConcurrentFileOperations
```

### Custom Configuration
```go
func TestCustomFUSE(t *testing.T) {
    config := &TestConfig{
        ChunkSizeMB:  16,           // Larger chunks
        CacheSizeMB:  500,          // More cache
        EnableDebug:  true,         // Debug output
        SkipCleanup:  true,         // Keep files for inspection
    }
    
    framework := NewFuseTestFramework(t, config)
    defer framework.Cleanup()
    require.NoError(t, framework.Setup(config))
    
    // Your tests here...
}
```

### Debugging Failed Tests
```go
config := &TestConfig{
    EnableDebug:  true,     // Enable verbose logging
    SkipCleanup:  true,     // Keep temp files for inspection
}
```

## Advanced Features

### Performance Benchmarking
```go
func BenchmarkLargeFileWrite(b *testing.B) {
    framework := NewFuseTestFramework(t, DefaultTestConfig())
    defer framework.Cleanup()
    require.NoError(t, framework.Setup(DefaultTestConfig()))
    
    b.ResetTimer()
    for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
        // Benchmark file operations
    }
}
```

### Custom Test Scenarios
```go
func TestCustomWorkload(t *testing.T) {
    framework := NewFuseTestFramework(t, DefaultTestConfig())
    defer framework.Cleanup()
    require.NoError(t, framework.Setup(DefaultTestConfig()))
    
    // Simulate specific application workload
    simulateWebServerWorkload(t, framework)
    simulateDatabaseWorkload(t, framework)
    simulateBackupWorkload(t, framework)
}
```
