This directory containts Gitpod's integration tests, including the framework that makes them possible.
Integration tests work by instrumenting Gitpod's components to modify and verify its state. Such tests are for example:
- [create bucket] by executing code within ws-daemon's context that loads the config file, creates a remote storage instance, and attempts to create a bucket.
- [start workspace] by obtaining a Gitpod API token, calling "createWorkspace" and watching for successful startup events.
- [task start] by starting a workspace using the ws-manager interface, instrumenting the workspace container and ensuring that tasks have run.
- instrumentation: agents that are compiled before/during the test, uploaded to a pod and executed there. They communicate with the test using net/rpc.
- API access: to all internal APIs, including ws-manager, ws-daemon, image-builder, registry-facade, server
- DB access to the Gitpod DB
There is a werft job that runs the integration tests against core-dev
preview environments.
For tests that require an existing user the framework tries to automatically select one from the DB.
- On preview envs make sure to create one before running tests against it!
- If it's important to use a certain user (with fixed settings, for example) pass the additional
username
parameter.
Example command:
werft job run github -j .werft/run-integration-tests.yaml -a namespace=staging-gpl-2658-int-tests -a version=gpl-2658-int-tests.57 -f
