It is possible to integrate external test suites into OpenSSL's make test
.
This capability is considered a developer option and does not work on all
platforms.
In order to run the BoringSSL tests with OpenSSL, first checkout the BoringSSL source code into an appropriate directory. This can be done in two ways:
1) Separately from the OpenSSL checkout using:
$ git clone https://boringssl.googlesource.com/boringssl boringssl
The BoringSSL tests are only confirmed to work at a specific commit in the BoringSSL repository. Later commits may or may not pass the test suite:
$ cd boringssl
$ git checkout 490469f850e
2) Using the already configured submodule settings in OpenSSL:
$ git submodule update --init
Configure the OpenSSL source code to enable the external tests:
$ cd ../openssl
$ ./config enable-ssl3 enable-ssl3-method enable-weak-ssl-ciphers \
enable-external-tests
Note that using other config options than those given above may cause the tests to fail.
Run the OpenSSL tests by providing the path to the BoringSSL test runner in the
BORING_RUNNER_DIR
environment variable:
$ BORING_RUNNER_DIR=/path/to/boringssl/ssl/test/runner make test
Note that the test suite may change directory while running so the path provided should be absolute and not relative to the current working directory.
To see more detailed output you can run just the BoringSSL tests with the verbose option:
$ VERBOSE=1 BORING_RUNNER_DIR=/path/to/boringssl/ssl/test/runner make \
TESTS="test_external_boringssl" test
A large number of the BoringSSL tests are known to fail. A test could fail because of many possible reasons. For example:
In order to provide a "clean" baseline run with all the tests passing a config file has been provided that suppresses the running of tests that are known to fail. These suppressions are held in the file "test/ossl_shim/ossl_config.json" within the OpenSSL source code.
The community is encouraged to contribute patches which reduce the number of suppressions that are currently present.
This python test suite runs cryptographic tests with a local OpenSSL build as the implementation.
First checkout the PYCA/Cryptography
module into ./pyca-cryptography
using:
$ git submodule update --init
Then configure/build OpenSSL compatible with the python module:
$ ./config shared enable-external-tests
$ make
The tests will run in a python virtual environment which requires virtualenv to be installed.
$ make test VERBOSE=1 TESTS=test_external_pyca
Some tests target older (<=1.0.2) versions so will not run. Other tests target other crypto implementations so are not relevant. Currently no tests fail.
Much like the PYCA/Cryptography test suite, this builds and runs the krb5 tests against the local OpenSSL build.
You will need a git checkout of krb5 at the top level:
$ git clone https://github.com/krb5/krb5
krb5's master has to pass this same CI, but a known-good version is krb5-1.15.1-final if you want to be sure.
$ cd krb5
$ git checkout krb5-1.15.1-final
$ cd ..
OpenSSL must be built with external tests enabled:
$ ./config enable-external-tests
$ make
krb5's tests will then be run as part of the rest of the suite, or can be explicitly run (with more debugging):
$ VERBOSE=1 make TESTS=test_external_krb5 test
krb5 will automatically adapt its test suite to account for the configuration of your system. Certain tests may require more installed packages to run. No tests are expected to fail.
Much like the PYCA/Cryptography test suite, this builds and runs the GOST engine tests against the local OpenSSL build.
You will need a git checkout of gost-engine at the top level:
$ git submodule update --init
Then configure/build OpenSSL enabling external tests:
$ ./config shared enable-external-tests
$ make
GOST engine requires CMake for the build process.
GOST engine tests will then be run as part of the rest of the suite, or can be explicitly run (with more debugging):
$ make test VERBOSE=1 TESTS=test_external_gost_engine
To update the commit for any of the above test suites:
Make sure the submodules are cloned locally:
$ git submodule update --init --recursive
Enter subdirectory and pull from the repository (use a specific branch/tag if required):
$ cd <submodule-dir>
$ git pull origin master
Go to root directory, there should be a new git status:
$ cd ../
$ git status
...
# modified: <submodule-dir>
(new commits)
...
Add/commit/push the update
$ git add <submodule-dir>
$ git commit -m "Updated <submodule> to latest commit"
$ git push
