This commit enhances the DHCPv6 PD prefix conflict detection logic to check against Route Information Options (RIOs) present in received Router Advertisements, in addition to the existing check against on-link prefixes (PIOs). The conflict detection behavior is event-driven to correctly handle network propagation delays and valid advertisements: 1. On new prefix assignment (`kPdPrefixChanged`): A strict check is performed. If the prefix matches any existing RIO from another router, it is flagged as a conflict. 2. On RA table updates (`kRxRaPrefixTableChanged`): The check focuses on conflict resolution. Crucially, it ignores new RIO matches appearing after the prefix has been adopted. This is necessary because once the BR publishes the PD prefix in Thread Network Data as the OMR prefix, other BRs will naturally start advertising it as a RIO to announce reachability. The unit test `TestDhcp6PdConflict` is updated to verify both the detection of conflict, its resolution, and that the subsequent RIO advertisements do not cause a conflict after PD prefix is published as OMR.
OpenThread Unit Tests
This page describes how to build and run OpenThread unit tests. It will be helpful for developers to debug failed unit test cases if they got one in CI or to add some new test cases.
Build Simulation
The unit tests cannot be built solely without building the whole project. So first build OpenThread on the simulation platform, which will also build all unit tests:
# Go to the root directory of OpenThread
$ script/cmake-build simulation
List all tests
To see what tests are available in OpenThread:
# Make sure you are at the simulation build directory (build/simulation)
$ ctest -N
Run the Unit Tests
To run all the unit tests:
# Make sure you are at the simulation build directory (build/simulation)
$ ctest
To run a specific unit test, for example, ot-test-spinel:
# Make sure you are at the simulation build directory (build/simulation)
$ ctest -R ot-test-spinel
Update a Test Case
If you are developing a unit test case and have made some changes in the test source file, you will need rebuild the test before running it:
# Make sure you are at the simulation build directory (build/simulation)
$ ninja <test_name>
This will only build the test and take a short time.
If any changes or fixes were made to the OpenThread code, then you'll need to rebuild the entire project:
# Make sure you are at the simulation build directory (build/simulation)
$ ninja
This will build the updated OpenThread code as well as the test cases.
