This repository contains the tng-sdk-validation component that is part of the European H2020 project 5GTANGO NFV SDK. This component can be used to validate the syntax, integrity and topology of 5GTANGO file descriptors. Besides, tng-sdk-validation can be used through the CLI, as service or as a micro-service running inside a docker container.
Run the following command for automatic installation:
pip3 install git+https://github.com/sonata-nfv/tng-sdk-validation.git
Manual installation is possible with:
git clone [email protected]:sonata-nfv/tng-sdk-validation.git
cd tng-sdk-validation
sudo python3 setup.py install
This tool has been designed to be executed in Linux system and Python 3.6 or higher. In addition, it is necessary to have installed the tng-sdk-project before starting.
Other requirements are specified here. They can be installed with the following statement:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
It is a good practice to first create a new virtual environment in which all 5GTANGO SDK tools can be installed. You can do this as follows:
# get the path to your Python3 installation
which python3
# create a new virtualenv
virtualenv -p <path/to/python3> venv
# activate the virtualenv
source venv/bin/activate
The validator can either be used as a command line tool (CLI mode) or as a micro service which offers a REST API.
Runs the validator locally from the command line. Details about all possible parameters can be shown using:
tng-sdk-validate -h
More details on the usage and some examples of the validator can be found on the wiki.
Runs the validator as a service that exposes a REST API:
tng-sdk-validate --api
Validator running as a service needs a redis BSD listening in port 6379 to perform the validation. Therefore:
#installation of redis server
apt-get install redis-server
#redis server listening in port 6379
redis-server --port 6379
#create the docker image
docker build --no-cache -f ./Dockerfile -t registry.sonata-nfv.eu:5000/tng-sdk-validation .
#run the image
docker run --rm -d --name tng-sdk-validate registry.sonata-nfv.eu:5000/tng-sdk-validation
To contribute to the development of this 5GTANGO component, you may use the very same development workflow as for any other 5GTANGO Github project. That is, you have to fork the repository and create pull requests.
python3 setup.py
Validator tests can be run manually on your local machine. To do so, you need to do:
pytest -v
