Tests

Puppet Agent uses beaker for running acceptance tests

Running Tests

Acceptance tests are triggered using rake acceptance

Usage

# cd acceptance
# bundle install --path .bundle
# bundle exec rake <command> ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE=value

Example Invocations

  • print listing and explanation of useful environment variables
bundle exec rake help
  • print listing of available rake tasks
bundle exec rake -T
  • run tests against puppet agent 1.7.0 on agent platform windows 2016 x64, downloaded from builds.delivery.puppetlabs.net
bundle exec rake acceptance:development SHA='1.7.0' TEST_TARGET=windows2016-64a
  • run tests against the latest nightly build of puppet agent on the public nightlies build server, using the default platform for agent and server.
bundle exec rake acceptance:development SHA='latest' AGENT_DOWNLOAD_URL='http://nightlies.puppet.com'
  • run tests against the released 1.8.0 puppet agent packages on our production repos (ie yum.puppet.com) on the ubuntu 16.04 64-bit platform
bundle exec rake acceptance:released SHA='1.8.0' TEST_TARGET=ubuntu1604-64a

Settings and Environment Variables

  • SHA=sha (required)

Supply git ref (sha or tag) of packages of this repository to be put under test. Also supports the literal string 'latest' which references the latest build on http://nightlies.puppet.com. If setting SHA to 'latest', you must also set ENV['AGENT_DOWNLOAD_URL'] to http://nightlies.puppet.com.

  • BEAKER_HOSTS=config/nodes/foo.yaml

Supply the path to a yaml file in the format of a beaker hosts file containing the test targets, roles, etc., or specify it in a beaker options.rb file.

  • TEST_TARGET='beaker-hostgenerator target'

Supply a test target in the form beaker-hostgenerator accepts, e.g. ubuntu1504-64a. Defaults to a constant defined in Rakefile.

Supply the url of the host serving packages of puppet agent to test matching SHA. Ignored by rake acceptance:released which always uses the production Puppet repository urls.

Valid values are:

Default: http://builds.delivery.puppetlabs.net.

  • TESTS='path/to/test,and/more/tests'

Supply a comma-separated string (no spaces) of specific test(s) to run. All pre-suites will be run, unless a specific pre-suite file is supplied as the value to this option, in which case test exercise will terminate after the supplied pre-suite file. Relative to 'acceptance' directory.

Example: TESTS='tests/ensure_version_file.rb'

  • OPTIONS='--more --options'

Supply additional options to pass to the beaker invocation

Example: OPTIONS='--preserve-hosts=never'

If there is a Beaker options hash in a ./local_options.rb, it will be included. Commandline options set through the above environment variables will override settings in this file.

Caveats

Running acceptance tests requires packages of the test target SHA have already been built and exist on a download server that beaker can install from. The two most commonly used download urls are http://nightlies.delivery.puppet.net (public) and http://builds.delivery.puppetlabs.net.

TODO A future version of acceptance tests will support building packages of a given SHA locally and then running acceptance tests against those packages.

Spec Tests

Puppet Agent does not currently have spec tests
