## Installation

```console
pip install oteltest
```

## Overview

The `oteltest` package contains utilities for testing OpenTelemetry Python scenarios.

### oteltest

The `oteltest` command runs black box tests against Python scripts that send telemetry.

#### Execution

With the virtual environment (into which you've installed `oteltest`) active, run `oteltest` as a shell command and
provide a directory as an argument:

```shell
oteltest my_script_dir
```

This will attempt to run all [oteltest-eligible](#script-eligibility) scripts in `my_script_dir`, non-recursively.

#### Operation

Running `oteltest` against a directory containing only `my_script.py`

1) Starts an OTLP or HTTP listener ([otelsink](#otelsink))
2) Creates a new Python virtual environment with `requirements()`
3) In that environment, starts running `my_script.py` in a subprocess
4) Calls `on_start()`
5) Depending on the return value from `on_start()`, waits for `my_script.py` to complete
6) Stops otelsink
7) Calls `on_stop()` with otelsink's received telemetry and script output
8) Writes the telemetry to a `.json` file next to the script (script name but with ".{number}.json" instead of ".py")

#### Script Eligibility

For a Python script to be runnable by `oteltest`, it must implement the [OtelTest](src/oteltest/__init__.py)
abstract base class, either formally by inheriting from `OtelTest`, or informally by merely containing the name
"OtelTest" and implementing the methods. The script below has an implementation called `MyOtelTest`:

```python
import time

from opentelemetry import trace

SERVICE_NAME = "my-otel-test"
NUM_ADDS = 12

if __name__ == "__main__":
    tracer = trace.get_tracer("my-tracer")
    for i in range(NUM_ADDS):
        with tracer.start_as_current_span("my-span"):
            print(f"simple_loop.py: {i+1}/{NUM_ADDS}")
            time.sleep(0.5)


# The class name must contain 'OtelTest' to be recognized by the test runner if not inheriting from the base class
class MyOtelTest:
    def requirements(self):
        """
        Return a sequence of requirements formatted for pip install.
        """
        return ["opentelemetry-distro", "opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-proto-grpc"]

    def environment_variables(self):
        return {"OTEL_SERVICE_NAME": SERVICE_NAME}

    def wrapper_command(self):
        return "opentelemetry-instrument"

    def on_start(self):
        """
        Return None to let the script run indefinitely, or a float indicating seconds to wait before terminating.
        """
        return None

    def on_stop(self, tel, stdout: str, stderr: str, returncode: int) -> None:
        print(f"script completed with return code {returncode}")

    def is_http(self) -> bool:
        """
        Return True to use HTTP for telemetry collection (port 4318), False to use gRPC (port 4317).
        Defaults to False (gRPC).
        """
        return False
```

Here's a client-server example:

```python
import time
from typing import Mapping, Optional, Sequence


PORT = 8002
HOST = "127.0.0.1"


if __name__ == "__main__":
    from flask import Flask

    app = Flask(__name__)

    @app.route("/")
    def home():
        return "hello"

    app.run(port=PORT, host=HOST)


# The class name must contain 'OtelTest' to be recognized by the test runner if not inheriting from the base class
class FlaskOtelTest:
    def environment_variables(self) -> Mapping[str, str]:
        return {}

    def requirements(self) -> Sequence[str]:
        return (
            "flask",
            "opentelemetry-distro",
            "opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-proto-grpc",
            "opentelemetry-instrumentation-flask",
        )

    def wrapper_command(self) -> str:
        return "opentelemetry-instrument"

    def on_start(self) -> Optional[float]:
        import http.client

        # Todo: replace this sleep with a liveness check!
        time.sleep(10)

        conn = http.client.HTTPConnection(HOST, PORT)
        conn.request("GET", "/")
        print("response:", conn.getresponse().read().decode())
        conn.close()

        # The return value of on_script_start() tells oteltest the number of seconds to wait for the script to complete.
        # In this case, we indicate 30 (seconds), which, once elapsed, will cause the script to be terminated, if it's
        # still running. If we return `None` then the script will run indefinitely.
        return 30

    def on_stop(self, telemetry, stdout: str, stderr: str, returncode: int) -> None:
        # you can do something with the telemetry here, e.g. make assertions etc.
        print("done")

    def is_http(self) -> bool:
        return False
```

### otelsink

`otelsink` is a gRPC (or HTTP) server that listens for OTel metrics, traces, and logs.

#### Operation

You can run otelsink either from the command line by using the `otelsink` command (installed when you
`pip install oteltest`), or programmatically.

Either way, `otelsink` runs a gRPC server listening on 0.0.0.0:4317 by default. To run an HTTP server listening on 4318,
use the `--http` flag.

#### Command Line

```
% otelsink
starting otelsink
- Set up grpc sink at address 0.0.0.0:4317
```

```
% otelsink --http
- Set up http sink on port 4318
```


#### Programmatic

```python
from oteltest.sink import GrpcSink, RequestHandler

class MyHandler(RequestHandler):
    def handle_logs(self, request, headers):
        print(f"received log request: {request}")

    def handle_metrics(self, request, headers):
        print(f"received metrics request: {request}")

    def handle_trace(self, request, headers):
        print(f"received trace request: {request}")


sink = GrpcSink(MyHandler())
sink.start()
sink.wait_for_termination()
```
