The CBT test proxy is intended for running conformance tests for Cloud Bigtable Python Client.

You can run the conformance tests in a single line by calling nox -s conformance from the repo root

cd python-bigtable/test_proxy
nox -s conformance

You can use test_proxy.py to launch a new test proxy process directly

cd python-bigtable/test_proxy
python test_proxy.py

The port can be set by passing in an extra positional argument

cd python-bigtable/test_proxy
python test_proxy.py --port 8080

You can run the test proxy against the previous v2 client by running it with the --legacy-client flag:

python test_proxy.py --legacy-client

Prerequisites:

• If you have not already done so, install golang.
• Before running tests, launch an instance of the test proxy in a separate shell session, and make note of the port

Clone and navigate to the go test library:

git clone https://github.com/googleapis/cloud-bigtable-clients-test.git
cd cloud-bigtable-clients-test/tests

Launch the tests

go test -v -proxy_addr=:50055
