Test Assets

Download test assets, managing them outside of git.

Changes from being a fork of test-assets:

• Use of rust library ureq and avoid compiling curl for test binaries
• backoff support
• Multi-threaded downloading
• Library and Binary usage of a .toml asset definition file
• Download binary dl

Compiler support: requires rustc 1.82+

Add the following to your Cargo.toml file:

[dependencies]
test-assets-ureq = "0.6.0"

For example, add the following information into the project toml file.

[test_assets.test_00]
filepath = "out.squashfs"
hash = "976c1638d8c1ba8014de6c64b196cbd70a5acf031be10a8e7f649536193c8e78"
url = "https://wcampbell.dev/squashfs/testing/test_00/out.squashfs"

In your rust code, add the following to download using that previous file.

let file_content = fs::read_to_string("test.toml").unwrap();
let parsed: TestAsset = toml::de::from_str(&file_content).unwrap();
let assets = parsed.values();
dl_test_files_backoff(&assets, "test-assets", true, Duration::from_secs(1)).unwrap();

If test-assets are needed outside of the Rust code, a binary is provided to download them. See the latest release.

Usage: dl [OPTIONS] <FILE> <PATH>

Arguments:
  <FILE>  Path to the TOML file to read
  <PATH>  Base path to write downloaded files

Options:
      --assets <ASSETS>  List of specific asset names to download (downloads all if not specified)
  -h, --help             Print help
