# Setting up Nominatim for Development
This chapter gives an overview how to set up Nominatim for developement
and how to run tests.
!!!Important
This guide assumes that you develop under the latest version of Ubuntu. You
can of course also use your favourite distribution. You just might have to
adapt the commands below slightly, in particular the commands for installing
additional software.
## Installing Nominatim
The first step is to install Nominatim itself. Please follow the installation
instructions in the [Admin section](../admin/Installation.md). You don't need
to set up a webserver for development, the webserver that is included with PHP
is sufficient.
If you want to run Nominatim in a VM via Vagrant, use the default `ubuntu` setup.
Vagrant's libvirt provider runs out-of-the-box under Ubuntu. You also need to
install an NFS daemon to enable directory sharing between host and guest. The
following packages should get you started:
sudo apt install vagrant vagrant-libvirt libvirt-daemon nfs-kernel-server
## Prerequisites for testing and documentation
The Nominatim tests suite consists of behavioural tests (using behave) and
unit tests (using PHPUnit). It has the following additional requirements:
* [behave test framework](https://github.com/behave/behave) >= 1.2.5
* [nose](https://nose.readthedocs.org)
* [pytidylib](http://countergram.com/open-source/pytidylib)
* [phpunit](https://phpunit.de) >= 7.3
* [PHP CodeSniffer](https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer)
The documentation is built with mkdocs:
* [mkdocs](https://www.mkdocs.org/) >= 1.1.2
### Installing prerequisites on Ubuntu/Debian
Some of the Python packages require the newest version which is not yet
available with the current distributions. Therefore it is recommended to
install pip to get the newest versions.
To install all necessary packages run:
```sh
sudo apt install php-cgi phpunit php-codesniffer \
python3-pip python3-setuptools python3-dev
pip3 install --user behave nose mkdocs
```
The `mkdocs` executable will be located in `.local/bin`. You may have to add
this directory to your path, for example by running:
```
echo 'export PATH=~/.local/bin:$PATH' > ~/.profile
```
If your distribution does not have PHPUnit 7.3+, you can install it (as well
as CodeSniffer) via composer:
```
sudo apt-get install composer
composer global require "squizlabs/php_codesniffer=*"
composer global require "phpunit/phpunit=8.*"
```
The binaries are found in `.config/composer/vendor/bin`. You need to add this
to your PATH as well:
```
echo 'export PATH=~/.config/composer/vendor/bin:$PATH' > ~/.profile
```
## Executing Tests
All tests are located in the `\test` directory.
### Preparing the test database
Some of the behavioural test expect a test database to be present. You need at
least 2GB RAM and 10GB disk space to create the database.
First create a separate directory for the test DB and Fetch the test planet
data and the Tiger data for South Dakota:
```
mkdir testdb
cd testdb
wget https://www.nominatim.org/data/test/nominatim-api-testdata.pbf
wget -O - https://nominatim.org/data/tiger2018-nominatim-preprocessed.tar.gz | tar xz --wildcards --no-anchored '46*'
```
Configure and build Nominatim in the usual way:
```
cmake $USERNAME/Nominatim
make
```
Copy the test settings:
```
cp $USERNAME/Nominatim/test/testdb/local.php settings/
```
Inspect the file to check that all settings are correct for your local setup.
Now you can import the test database:
```
dropdb --if-exists test_api_nominatim
./utils/setup.php --all --osm-file nominatim-api-testdb.pbf 2>&1 | tee import.log
./utils/specialphrases.php --wiki-import | psql -d test_api_nominatim 2>&1 | tee -a import.log
./utils/setup.php --import-tiger-data 2>&1 | tee -a import.log
```
### Running the tests
To run all tests just go to the test directory and run make:
```sh
cd test
make
```
To skip tests that require the test database, run `make no-test-db` instead.
For more information about the structure of the tests and how to change and
extend the test suite, see the [Testing chapter](Testing.md).
## Documentation Pages
The [Nominatim documentation](https://nominatim.org/release-docs/develop/) is
built using the [MkDocs](https://www.mkdocs.org/) static site generation
framework. The master branch is automatically deployed every night on
[https://nominatim.org/release-docs/develop/](https://nominatim.org/release-docs/develop/)
To build the documentation, go to the build directory and run
```
make doc
INFO - Cleaning site directory
INFO - Building documentation to directory: /home/vagrant/build/site-html
```
This runs `mkdocs build` plus extra transformation of some files and adds
symlinks (see `CMakeLists.txt` for the exact steps).
Now you can start webserver for local testing
```
build> mkdocs serve
[server:296] Serving on http://127.0.0.1:8000
[handlers:62] Start watching changes
```
If you develop inside a Vagrant virtual machine, use a port that is forwarded
to your host:
```
build> mkdocs serve --dev-addr 0.0.0.0:8088
[server:296] Serving on http://0.0.0.0:8088
[handlers:62] Start watching changes
```

# Documentation Pages
The [Nominatim documentation](https://nominatim.org/release-docs/develop/) is built using the [MkDocs](https://www.mkdocs.org/) static site generation framework. The master branch is automatically deployed every night on under [https://nominatim.org/release-docs/develop/](https://nominatim.org/release-docs/develop/)
To preview local changes, first install MkDocs
```
pip3 install --user mkdocs
```
If `mkdocs` can't be found after the installation, the $PATH might have not
been set correctly yet. Try opening a new terminal session.
Then go to the build directory and run
```
make doc
INFO - Cleaning site directory
INFO - Building documentation to directory: /home/vagrant/build/site-html
```
This runs `mkdocs build` plus extra transformation of some files and adds
symlinks (see `CMakeLists.txt` for the exact steps).

```
build> mkdocs serve
[server:296] Serving on http://127.0.0.1:8000
[handlers:62] Start watching changes
```
If you develop inside a Vagrant virtual machine:
* add port forwarding to your Vagrantfile,
e.g. `config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 8000, host: 8000`
* use `mkdocs serve --dev-addr 0.0.0.0:8000` because the default localhost
IP does not get forwarded.

# Setup Test Environment
To test changes and contribute to Nominatim you should be able to run
the test suite(s). For many usecases it's enough to create a Vagrant
virtual machine (see `VAGRANT.md`), import one small country into the
database.
## Prerequisites
Nominatim supports a range of PHP versions and PHPUnit versions also
move fast. We try to test against the newest stable PHP release and
PHPUnit version even though we expect many Nominatim users will install
older version on their production servers.
* Python 3 (https://www.python.org/)
* behave test framework >= 1.2.5 (https://github.com/behave/behave)
* nose (https://nose.readthedocs.org)
* pytidylib (http://countergram.com/open-source/pytidylib)
* psycopg2 (http://initd.org/psycopg/)
#### Ubuntu 20
sudo apt-get install -y phpunit php-codesniffer php-cgi
pip3 install --user behave nose
#### Ubuntu 18
pip3 install --user behave nose
sudo apt-get install -y composer php-cgi php-cli php-mbstring php-xml zip unzip
composer global require "squizlabs/php_codesniffer=*"
sudo ln -s ~/.config/composer/vendor/bin/phpcs /usr/bin/
composer global require "phpunit/phpunit=8.*"
sudo ln -s ~/.config/composer/vendor/bin/phpunit /usr/bin/
#### CentOS 7 or 8
sudo dnf install -y php-dom php-mbstring
pip3 install --user behave nose
composer global require "squizlabs/php_codesniffer=*"
sudo ln -s ~/.config/composer/vendor/bin/phpcs /usr/bin/
composer global require "phpunit/phpunit=^7"
sudo ln -s ~/.config/composer/vendor/bin/phpunit /usr/bin/

# Nominatim Test Suite
This chapter describes the tests in the `/test` directory, how they are
structured and how to extend them. For a quick introduction on how to run
the tests, see the [Development setup chapter](Development-Environment.md).
## Overall structure
There are two kind of tests in this test suite. There are functional tests
which test the API interface using a BDD test framework and there are unit
tests for specific PHP functions.
This test directory is sturctured as follows:
```
-+- bdd Functional API tests
| \
| +- steps Step implementations for test descriptions
| +- osm2pgsql Tests for data import via osm2pgsql
| +- db Tests for internal data processing on import and update
| +- api Tests for API endpoints (search, reverse, etc.)
|
+- php PHP unit tests
+- scenes Geometry test data
+- testdb Base data for generating API test database
```
## PHP Unit Tests (`test/php`)
Unit tests can be found in the php/ directory and tests selected php functions.
Very low coverage.
To execute the test suite run
cd test/php
UNIT_TEST_DSN='pgsql:dbname=nominatim_unit_tests' phpunit ../
It will read phpunit.xml which points to the library, test path, bootstrap
strip and set other parameters.
It will use (and destroy) a local database 'nominatim_unit_tests'. You can set
a different connection string with e.g. UNIT_TEST_DSN='pgsql:dbname=foo_unit_tests'.
## BDD Functional Tests (`test/bdd`)
Functional tests are written as BDD instructions. For more information on
the philosophy of BDD testing, see the
[Behave manual](http://pythonhosted.org/behave/philosophy.html).
The following explanation assume that the reader is familiar with the BDD
notations of features, scenarios and steps.
All possible steps can be found in the `steps` directory and should ideally
be documented.
### General Usage
To run the functional tests, do
cd test/bdd
behave
The tests can be configured with a set of environment variables (`behave -D key=val`):
* `BUILDDIR` - build directory of Nominatim installation to test
* `TEMPLATE_DB` - name of template database used as a skeleton for
the test databases (db tests)
* `TEST_DB` - name of test database (db tests)
* `API_TEST_DB` - name of the database containing the API test data (api tests)
* `DB_HOST` - (optional) hostname of database host
* `DB_PORT` - (optional) port of database on host
* `DB_USER` - (optional) username of database login
* `DB_PASS` - (optional) password for database login
* `SERVER_MODULE_PATH` - (optional) path on the Postgres server to Nominatim
module shared library file
* `TEST_SETTINGS_TEMPLATE` - file to write temporary Nominatim settings to
* `REMOVE_TEMPLATE` - if true, the template database will not be reused during
the next run. Reusing the base templates speeds up tests
considerably but might lead to outdated errors for some
changes in the database layout.
* `KEEP_TEST_DB` - if true, the test database will not be dropped after a test
is finished. Should only be used if one single scenario is
run, otherwise the result is undefined.
Logging can be defined through command line parameters of behave itself. Check
out `behave --help` for details. Also have a look at the 'work-in-progress'
feature of behave which comes in handy when writing new tests.
### API Tests (`test/bdd/api`)
These tests are meant to test the different API endpoints and their parameters.
They require a to import several datasets into a test database.
See the [Development Setup chapter](Development-Environment.md#preparing-the-test-database)
for instructions on how to set up this database.
The official test dataset was derived from the 180924 planet (note: such
file no longer exists at https://planet.openstreetmap.org/planet/2018/).
Newer planets are likely to work as well but you may see isolated test
failures where the data has changed.
The official test dataset can always be downloaded from
[nominatim.org](https://www.nominatim.org/data/test/nominatim-api-testdata.pbf)
To recreate the input data for the test database run:
```
wget https://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/misc/openstreetmap/planet.openstreetmap.org/pbf/planet-180924.osm.pbf
osmconvert planet-180924.osm.pbf -B=test/testdb/testdb.polys -o=testdb.pbf
```
#### Code Coverage
The API tests also support code coverage tests. You need to install
[PHP_CodeCoverage](https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/php-code-coverage).
On Debian/Ubuntu run:
apt-get install php-codecoverage php-xdebug
Then run the API tests as follows:
behave api -DPHPCOV=<coverage output dir>
The output directory must be an absolute path. To generate reports, you can use
the [phpcov](https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpcov) tool:
phpcov merge --html=<report output dir> <coverage output dir>
### DB Creation Tests (`test/bdd/db`)
These tests check the import and update of the Nominatim database. They do not
test the correctness of osm2pgsql. Each test will write some data into the `place`
table (and optionally `the planet_osm_*` tables if required) and then run
Nominatim's processing functions on that.
These tests need to create their own test databases. By default they will be
called `test_template_nominatim` and `test_nominatim`. Names can be changed with
the environment variables `TEMPLATE_DB` and `TEST_DB`. The user running the tests
needs superuser rights for postgres.
### Import Tests (`test/bdd/osm2pgsql`)
These tests check that data is imported correctly into the place table. They
use the same template database as the Indexing tests, so the same remarks apply.
