+# gVisor FUSE Test Suite
+
+This is an integration test suite for fuse(4) filesystem. It runs under both
+gVisor and Linux, and ensures compatibility between the two. This test suite is
+based on system calls test.
+
+This document describes the framework of fuse integration test and the
+guidelines that should be followed when adding new fuse tests.
+
+## Integration Test Framework
+
+Please refer to the figure below. `>` is entering the function, `<` is leaving
+the function, and `=` indicates sequentially entering and leaving.
+
+```
+ | Client (Test Main Process) | Server (FUSE Daemon)
+ | |
+ | >TEST_F() |
+ | >SetUp() |
+ | =MountFuse() |
+ | >SetUpFuseServer() |
+ | [create communication pipes] |
+ | =fork() | =fork()
+ | >WaitCompleted() |
+ | [wait for MarkDone()] |
+ | | =ConsumeFuseInit()
+ | | =MarkDone()
+ | <WaitCompleted() |
+ | <SetUpFuseServer() |
+ | <SetUp() |
+ | >SetExpected() |
+ | [construct expected reaction] |
+ | | >FuseLoop()
+ | | >ReceiveExpected()
+ | | [wait data from pipe]
+ | [write data to pipe] |
+ | [wait for MarkDone()] |
+ | | [save data to memory]
+ | | =MarkDone()
+ | <SetExpected() |
+ | | <ReceiveExpected()
+ | | >read()
+ | | [wait for fs operation]
+ | >[Do fs operation] |
+ | [wait for fs response] |
+ | | <read()
+ | | =CompareRequest()
+ | | =write() [write fs response]
+ | <[Do fs operation] |
+ | =[Test fs operation result] |
+ | =[wait for MarkDone()] |
+ | | =MarkDone()
+ | >TearDown() |
+ | =UnmountFuse() |
+ | <TearDown() |
+ | <TEST_F() |
+```
+
+## Running the tests
+
+Based on syscall tests, fuse tests can run in different environments. To enable
+fuse testing environment, the test targets should be appended with `_fuse`.
+
+For example, to run fuse test in `stat_test.cc`:
+
+```bash
+$ bazel test //test/fuse:stat_test_runsc_ptrace_vfs2_fuse
+```
+
+Test all targets tagged with fuse:
+
+```bash
+$ bazel test --test_tag_filters=fuse //test/fuse/...
+```
+
+## Writing a new FUSE test
+
+1. Add test targets in `BUILD` and `linux/BUILD`.
+2. Inherit your test from `FuseTest` base class. It allows you to:
+ - Run a fake FUSE server in background during each test setup.
+ - Create pipes for communication and provide utility functions.
+ - Stop FUSE server after test completes.
+3. Customize your comparison function for request assessment in FUSE server.
+4. Add the mapping of the size of structs if you are working on new FUSE opcode.
+ - Please update `FuseTest::GetPayloadSize()` for each new FUSE opcode.
+5. Build the expected request-response pair of your FUSE operation.
+6. Call `SetExpected()` function to inject the expected reaction.
+7. Check the response and/or errors.
+8. Finally call `WaitCompleted()` to ensure the FUSE server acts correctly.
+
+A few customized matchers used in syscalls test are encouraged to test the
+outcome of filesystem operations. Such as:
+
+```cc
+SyscallSucceeds()
+SyscallSucceedsWithValue(...)
+SyscallFails()
+SyscallFailsWithErrno(...)
+```
+
+Please refer to [test/syscalls/README.md](../syscalls/README.md) for further
+details.
