Topic: Automated network game testing

Hi

I would like to set up some automated tests - to test AI. The setup would be - starting from command line, so the comand would start a map, all slots as AI, and also load a script - that would set up a gamespeed and terminate the game after f.e. 5 hours of gametime. And over and over.

The game help does not indicate that loading a map this way is possible. Also, when I use "--scenario=" I am not able to make it use my script.

I run:

/var/widelands/BZR/ai-post-b19-installed/widelands --scenario=/home/tibor/.widelands/maps/Crabsome\ Island.wmf --script=/var/widelands/BZR/TESTING/SLOT1/scripting/init.lua

it loads, but script is not run, see error I got:

Trying to run: /var/widelands/BZR/TESTING/SLOT1/scripting/init.lua: not found.

I did more experiments, but I am not able to figure it out.

The minimum that would do is to start the game with given speed. But this option is not available either...

Any ideas?

Great, it works! Partially at least

... now I am getting:

Trying to run: /home/tibor/.widelands/scripting/init.lua:
Scenario not started: Game data error: lua: [/var/widelands/BZR/ai-post-b19/src/scripting/lua_errors.cc:22] attempt to yield from outside a coroutine

The script is (shortened):

 include "scripting/lunit.lua"
 include "scripting/coroutine.lua"
 include "scripting/infrastructure.lua"
 include "scripting/ui.lua"

 game = wl.Game()
 map = game.map

 game = wl.Game()
 game.desired_speed = 10
 sleep(15 * 60 * 1000)
 wl.ui.MapView():close()

The problem is the sleep call here. You can only sleep a coroutine (think of it as a separate thread of execution), not the main entry point. But that should be simple to work around, try changing your last two lines to:

run(function()
    sleep(15 * 60 * 1000)
    wl.ui.MapView():close()
end)

this spawns a new coroutine which will keep running for the rest of the game and eventually close the game.

Thanks, it works!

I think if you start a map using --scenario the settings from the player_names file in the map will be used (example). So you can set the desired AI strengths there.

As for seeing something, if you leave the first player as a human, you will be controlling it. You can add a game.players[1].see_all = true in your script which will reveal the full map for you. I do not think there is another way to reveal the full map for an observer via scripting.

You could add some Lua code to the scenario with a print statement to the console.
