Troubleshooting

Common Issues

GPU Tests Failing:

# Check CUDA/ROCm installation
nvidia-smi  # For NVIDIA GPUs
rocm-smi   # For AMD GPUs

# Run CPU-only tests
RTX_SKIP_GPU_TESTS=1 cargo test --package rustytorch-integration-tests

# Check GPU memory availability
RTX_DEVICE_COUNT=1 cargo run --bin performance_integration_tests

Container Tests Failing:

# Check Docker/Podman status
sudo systemctl status docker
docker version

# Use Podman instead
RTX_CONTAINER_RUNTIME=podman cargo run --bin production_deployment_tests

# Check container permissions
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
newgrp docker

Database Connection Issues:

# Start local databases
docker run -d --name rtx-postgres -p 5432:5432 \
  -e POSTGRES_DB=rtx_test -e POSTGRES_USER=rtx_user -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=rtx_pass \
  postgres:15

docker run -d --name rtx-redis -p 6379:6379 redis:7

# Test connections
pg_isready -h localhost -p 5432 -U rtx_user
redis-cli -h localhost -p 6379 ping

Performance Test Issues:

# Reduce test intensity
RTX_PERFORMANCE_DURATION=60 cargo run --bin performance_integration_tests

# Check system resources
free -h     # Memory availability
df -h       # Disk space
lscpu       # CPU information

# Monitor during tests
top -p $(pgrep -f "integration_tests")

Network Issues:

# Check port availability
netstat -tlnp | grep -E "(5432|6379|8080)"

# Use alternative ports
RTX_POSTGRES_URL=postgresql://rtx_user:rtx_pass@localhost:5433/rtx_test \
RTX_REDIS_URL=redis://localhost:6380 \
cargo run --bin cross_component_tests

Debug Mode

Enable Debug Logging:

RUST_LOG=debug cargo run --bin ml_pipeline_tests

# Component-specific logging
RUST_LOG=rustytorch_integration_tests=debug,rtx_tensor=info \
cargo run --bin cross_component_tests

# Trace-level logging (very verbose)
RUST_LOG=trace cargo test --package rustytorch-integration-tests -- --nocapture

Generate Debug Artifacts:

# Enable artifact generation
RTX_SAVE_ARTIFACTS=1 cargo run --bin production_deployment_tests

# Artifacts saved to:
ls -la integration_tests/artifacts/

Test Isolation

Run Tests in Isolation:

# Run single test
cargo test --package rustytorch-integration-tests test_data_loading_pipeline

# Run with fresh environment
RTX_CLEAN_ENV=1 cargo run --bin ml_pipeline_tests

# Use separate test data directory
RTX_TEST_DATA_PATH=/tmp/rtx_isolated_test_data \
cargo run --bin real_world_validation_tests

Contributing

Adding New Tests

1. Choose Test Category:

# For ML pipeline tests
edit integration_tests/src/pipeline.rs

# For cross-component tests
edit integration_tests/src/cross_component.rs

# For new test category
create integration_tests/src/my_new_category.rs

2. Follow TDD Pattern:

#[tokio::test]
async fn test_my_new_feature() -> Result<()> {
    info!("Testing my new feature...");
    let mut ctx = TestContext::new();

    // Setup test environment
    let test_data = setup_test_data().await?;

    // Execute test scenario
    let result = execute_test_scenario(&test_data).await?;

    // Validate results
    assert!(result.is_valid(), "Test result validation failed");
    assert!(result.performance_meets_sla(), "Performance SLA not met");

    ctx.cleanup().await?;
    info!("Test passed");
    Ok(())
}

3. Add Integration Test Macro:

crate::integration_test!("my_new_feature_test",
    || self.test_my_new_feature(), &mut results);

4. Create Binary (if needed):

// integration_tests/src/bin/my_category_tests.rs
use anyhow::Result;
use rustytorch_integration_tests::{initialize_test_environment, my_category::MyCategoryTests};
use tracing::{info, error};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<()> {
    let config = initialize_test_environment().await?;
    let tests = MyCategoryTests::new(config);

    match tests.run_all_tests().await {
        Ok(results) => {
            results.print_summary();
            std::process::exit(if results.failed > 0 { 1 } else { 0 });
        }
        Err(e) => {
            error!("Test execution failed: {}", e);
            std::process::exit(1);
        }
    }
}

Testing Guidelines

Test Naming:

Use descriptive test names: test_bert_fine_tuning_with_distributed_training
Group related tests: test_model_compression_*, test_deployment_*
Follow pattern: test_<component>_<scenario>_<expected_outcome>

Test Structure:

Use TestContext for resource management
Always call ctx.cleanup().await? before returning
Use integration_test! macro for consistent error handling
Validate both functionality and performance

Error Handling:

Use Result<()> return type for all test functions
Provide descriptive error messages with context
Test both success and failure scenarios
Validate error propagation across components

Performance Requirements:

Include performance assertions for critical paths
Use realistic load patterns and data sizes
Test scaling behavior with multiple configurations
Measure and validate resource utilization

Documentation:

Document test purpose and expected behavior
Include setup requirements and dependencies
Provide troubleshooting guidance
Update README when adding new test categories
