Adding Tests

Quick Start

  1. Fork and clone the mantle repository
  2. Move into kola/tests/ and look for the package your test would best fit
  3. Edit the file and add your test(s), ensuring that you register your new test(s) in the packages init()
  4. Commit, push, and PR your result

Example

Say we wanted to add a simple noop test in the podman test package. If we follow the above instructions it would look like this:

$ git clone [email protected]:$GITHUB_USERNAME/mantle.git
<snip/>
$ pushd kola/tests/
$ $EDITOR podman/podman.go  # Add the test
// Test: I'm a NOOP!
func podmanNOOP(c cluster.TestCluster) {
    // NOOP!
}
$ $EDITOR podman/podman.go # Register the test in the init
func init() {
    register.Register(&register.Test{
        Run:         podmanNOOP,
        ClusterSize: 1,
        Name:        `podman.noop`,
        Distros:     []string{"cl"},
    })
<snip/>
$ popd
$ ./build kola
# Check and ensure the test is there
$ ./bin/kola list | grep podman
podman.base                                     [all]                                   [all]   [rhcos]
podman.network                                  [all]                                   [all]   [rhcos]
podman.noop                                     [all]                                   [all]   [cl]
podman.workflow                                 [all]                                   [all]   [rhcos]
# Run your test and see what happens
$ sudo ./bin/kola run -b cl --qemu-image ~/developer-2823.0.0+2021-04-06-1555-a1/flatcar_production_qemu_image.img podman.noop
=== RUN   podman.noop
--- PASS: podman.noop (19.96s)
PASS, output in _kola_temp/qemu-2021-04-07-0924-2937
# git add/commit/push...
# Open PR to get the test added!

Grouping Tests

Sometimes it makes sense to group tests together under a specific package, especially when these tests are related and require the same test parameters. For kola it only takes a forwarding function to do testing groups. This forwarding function should take cluster.TestCluster as it's only input, and execute running other tests with cluster.TestCluster.Run().

It is worth noting that the tests within the group are executed sequentially and on the same machine. As such, it is not recommended to group tests which modify the system state.

Additionally, the FailFast flag can be enabled during the test registration to skip any remaining steps after a failure has occurred.

Continuing with the look at the podman package we can see that podman.base is registered like so:

    register.Register(&register.Test{
            Run:         podmanBaseTest,
            ClusterSize: 1,
            Name:        `podman.base`,
            Distros:     []string{"rhcos"},
    })

If we look at podmanBaseTest it becomes very obvious that it's not a test of it's own, but a group of tests.

func podmanBaseTest(c cluster.TestCluster) {
        c.Run("info", podmanInfo)
        c.Run("resources", podmanResources)
        c.Run("network", podmanNetworksReliably)
}

Adding New Packages

If you need to add a new testing package there are few steps that must be done.

  1. Create a new directory in kola/tests/ which is descriptive of what will be tested.
  2. Add at least one file in the new directory with it's package the same name as it's directory name
  3. Edit the kola/registry/registry.go file to include your new package
  4. Add and register your new tests

As an example, let's say you want to add a new test package called foo.

  1. First create kola/tests/foo/
  2. Then echo "package foo" > kola/tests/foo/foo.go
  3. Next, edit kola/registry/registry.go and add this to the imports _ "github.com/flatcar/mantle/kola/tests/foo"
package registry

// Tests imported for registration side effects. These make up the OS test suite and is explicitly imported from the main package.
import (
        _ "github.com/flatcar/mantle/kola/tests/coretest"
        _ "github.com/flatcar/mantle/kola/tests/crio"
        _ "github.com/flatcar/mantle/kola/tests/docker"
        _ "github.com/flatcar/mantle/kola/tests/etcd"
        _ "github.com/flatcar/mantle/kola/tests/foo"
<snip/>
  1. Lastly, use $EDITOR on kola/tests/foo/foo.go adding in new test groups and tests.
