Possible to do runtime tests on networked objects?

[half siren]

is it possible to simuate a server and multiple clients on the same device for a unity automatic runtime test with NGO?

I know I can use stuff like ParrelSync for testing on multiple unity instances, but i mean the automatic tests. I've tried doing things like making multiple NetworkManagers and the issue is I need them to be treated separately and it just doesn't seem to work... but I also feel like Unity seems to lack on testing a bit here.

Thank you 😊

You can check out the runtime tests on github. There are loads of them
https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/com.unity.netcode.gameobjects/tree/develop-2.0.0/testproject/Assets/Tests/Runtime

Is this like a framework to make your own tests, or is this unity's tests for ngo

[topaz osprey]

in the repo is unity own tests. You can find the TestHelpers for making your own here

[half siren]

Oooh that sounds perfect thank you

[topaz osprey]

I'm pretty sure its all built on top of the Unity Test Framework But I know next to nothing about unit tests in general

[half siren]

Fair enough. I was trying to build my own network tests on the unity test framework, so having a better foundation to build tests on would be really handy. ill look into it, thank you!

[half siren]

Tbh I am reluctant to use it just because of lack of documentation & it being unsupported

[topaz osprey]

If you have questions or run into problems, the best option is to open a GitHub Issue on the repo. The devs are very active there

[half siren]

Fair enough - for now i've settled for using reflection to run Rpc's and just testing them a bit more individually. If I need to do bigger tests in the future then I shall look into it more

@marble peak this is the thing I'm talking abt

I'm sorry, but I'm having a lot of trouble getting this to work. I've tried cloning the package straight from git (instead of package manager) but I still can't access the test helpers. I think the asmdef for it isn't included in the package, and I don't really know what I can do about that? I tried copying the TestHelpers folder (Found in Packages folder) into my project but it has a bunch of internal classes so that failed. So it seems I can't access it with referencing the assembly or copying it over?

Ofc it would be great if I could somehow expose the asmdef (Unity.Netcode.Runtime.TestHelpers) to my project but I'm not sure how to do that at all

definitely as the Unity.Netcode.Runtime.Tests asmdef shows that the test helpers can't actually be found

[topaz osprey]

When you clone the repo, are you able to open the test project com.unity.netcode.gameobjects\testproject?

[half siren]

Tbh I've just been cloning the netcode.gameobjects folder, let me try do that

[half siren]

Right I'm able to open the test project.

OK so all of their runtime tests are showing up

So I gotta just figure out how to get that into my project I suppose

Right so it looks like the testproject has access to these test helpers

From the unity netcode package

So my question is, how did the testproject expose this assembly for use

It says its a missing assembly

But... everything compiles

So how does that work hm

Maybe i need to just reference them and believe they exist lmao?

[half siren]

Right yeah so I tried just putting the same asmdef references into my project, having the package installed from git, and then copying a single test across to my project from their test project and it says Type of namespace 'NetcodeIntegrationTest' could not be found. This class is inside of the test helpers

So I don't know how their test project managed to reference it lol and I couldn't
