Mobly WiFi Controller

Mobly WiFi controller module for using Python code to operate network devices in Mobly tests.

Requirements

• Python 3.11+
• Mobly 1.12.2+

Installation

pip install mobly-wifi

Start to Use

Mobly WiFi controller is an add-on module to control OpenWrt AP devices in Mobly. To learn more about Mobly, visit Getting started with Mobly.

One-Time Setup on Host

Get the SSH identity key to OpenWrt devices here, put it at ~/.ssh/testing_rsa.

Write Mobly Device Configs

To use an OpenWrt AP device in Mobly tests, first you need to write a config to specify the information of the device under test. For example:

sample_config.yaml

TestBeds:
- Name: SampleOpenWrtTestbed
  Controllers:
    OpenWrtDevice:
    -  hostname: 'IP_ADDRESS'

NOTE: Replace IP_ADDRESS with your device information.

Write a Hello World Mobly Test

hello_world_test.py

"""A basic Mobly Test with OpenWrt AP device."""

import time

from mobly import base_test
from mobly import test_runner
from mobly.controllers.wifi import openwrt_device
from mobly.controllers.wifi.lib import wifi_configs

 
class HelloWorldTest(base_test.BaseTestClass):
 
  def setup_class(self):
    self.openwrt = self.register_controller(openwrt_device)[0]
 
  def test_start_5g_wifi(self):
    config = wifi_configs.WiFiConfig(channel=36)
    wifi_info = self.openwrt.start_wifi(config=config)
    self.openwrt.log.info(
        'Now you can connect your device to WiFi "%s" with password "%s"!',
        wifi_info.ssid,
        wifi_info.password,
    )
    # Sleep a while, you can manually connect your device to the WiFi.
    time.sleep(60)
 
if __name__ == '__main__':
  test_runner.main()

Execute the Test

python hello_world_test.py -c sample_config.yaml
