ns-3 can not find tcp-testcases

[Ehsan Hemmati]

Hi,

I use ns-3.23 and I followed all the steps in tutorial and I enabled the tests using : 

"./waf configure --build-profile=debug --out=build/debug --enable-examples --enable-tests"

but when I try to run tcp-testcases: "./waf --run "tcp-testcases --testcase=n" ns-3 says "program 'tcp-testcases' not found"

What should I do?

Best,

Ehsan

Hi Ehsan,

Please study the documentation related to testing

https://www.nsnam.org/docs/manual/html/test-framework.html

In order to run tests you should use the test.py

Thanks Konstantinos

But here: "https://www.nsnam.org/wiki/New_TCP_Socket_Architecture#Running_the_test_program" says we can run it and get the output by ./waf --run "tcp-testcases --testcase=n" command

Hi,

I am not sure that this is still valid. 

The wiki page is nearly 5yr old. Many things have changed since.

Please follow the manual of the ns-3 release that you are using.

Regards,

To find out what test cases are available and other options,

$ ./waf --run "test-runner --help"

Hi,

I think there's a big misunderstanding here. The wiki page says:

Verification
The most recent patch set in http://codereview.appspot.com/1702042 included a verification program. In this section, the result of the verification program is presented to show the detail of TCP operation.

 

Running the test program
There are two test programs in the patch set. They checks (1) the operation of TCP state machine (tcp-testcases); and (2) the behaviour of TCP upon packet losses (tcp-loss-response). Both test program are resided in directory example/tcp.
Synopsis for tcp-test-cases
 ./waf --run "tcp-testcases --testcase=n"

The "verification" program never made into the main ns-3 codebase, and being 5 years old, I strongly doubt that it will work without modifications.

I've added a note to the wiki page to deprecate the information there.
