Testing Document

This document describes how to define your tests with YAML. For the plugin cli usage, please check README

Test Suite

A test suite is a collection of tests with the same purpose and scope defined in one single file. The root structure of a test suite is like below:

suite: test deploy and service
templates:
  - deployment.yaml
  - service.yaml
tests:
  - it: should test something
    ...
  • suite: string, optional. The suite name to show on test result output.

  • templates: array of string, recommended. The template files scope to test in this suite, only the ones specified here is rendered during testing. If omitted, all template files are rendered. File suffixed with .tpl is added automatically, you don't need to add them again.

  • tests: array of test job, required. Where you define your test jobs to run, check Test Job.

Test Job

The test job is the base unit of testing. Your chart is rendered each time a test job run, and validated with assertions defined in the test. You can setup your values used to render the chart in the test job with external values files or directly in the test job definition. Below is a test job example with all of its options defined:

...
tests:
  - it: should pass
    values:
      - ./values/staging.yaml
    set:
      image.pullPolicy: Always
      resources:
        limits:
          memory: 128Mi
    release:
      name: my-release
      namespace:
      revision: 9
      isUpgrade: true
    asserts:
      - equal:
          path: metadata.name
          value: my-deploy
  • it: string, recommended. Define the name of the test with TDD style or any message you like.

  • values: array of string, optional. The values files used to renders the chart, think it as the -f, --values options of helm install. The file path should be the relative path from the test suite file itself.

  • set: object of any, optional. Set the values directly in suite file. The key is the value path with the format just like --set option of helm install, for example image.pullPolicy. The value is anything you want to set to the path specified by the key, which can be even an array or an object.

  • release: object, optional. Define the {{ .Release }} object.

    • name: string, optional. The release name, default to "RELEASE-NAME".
    • namespace: string, optional. The namespace which release be installed to, default to "NAMESPACE".
    • revision: string, optional. The revision of current build, default to 0.
    • isUpgrade: bool, optional. Whether the build is an upgrade, default to false.
  • asserts: array of assertion, required. The assertions to validate the rendered chart, check Assertion.

Assertion

Define assertions in the test job to validate the manifests rendered with values provided. The example below tests the instances' name with 2 equal assertion.

templates:
  - deployment.yaml
  - service.yaml
tests:
  - it: should pass
    asserts:
      - equal:
          path: metadata.name
          value: my-deploy
      - equal:
          path: metadata.name
          value: your-service
        not: true
        template: service.yaml
        documentIndex: 0

The assertion is defined with the assertion type as the key and its parameters as value, there can be only one assertion type key exists in assertion definition object. And there are three more options can be set at root of assertion definition:

  • not: bool, optional. Set to true to assert contrarily, default to false. The second assertion in the example above asserts that the service name is NOT your-service.

  • template: string, optional. The template file which render the manifest to be asserted, default to the first template file defined in templates of suite file. For example the first assertion above with no template specified asserts deployment.yaml by default. If no template file specified in neither suite and assertion, the assertion returns an error and fail the test.

  • documentIndex: int, optional. The index of rendered documents (devided by ---) to be asserted, default to 0. Generally you can ignored this field if the template file render only one document.

Assertion Types

Available assertion types are listed below:

Assertion Type Parameters Description Example
equal path: string. The set path to assert.
value: any. The expected value.
Assert the value of specified path equal to the value.
equal:
path: metadata.name
value: my-deploy
notEqual path: string. The set path to assert.
value: any. The value expected not to be.
Assert the value of specified path NOT equal to the value.
notEqual:
path: metadata.name
value: my-deploy
matchRegex path: string. The set path to assert, the value must be a string.
pattern: string. The regex pattern to match (without quoting /).
Assert the value of specified path match pattern.
matchRegex:
path: metadata.name
pattern: -my-chart$
notMatchRegex path: string. The set path to assert, the value must be a string.
pattern: string. The regex pattern NOT to match (without quoting /).
Assert the value of specified path NOT match pattern.
notMatchRegex:
path: metadata.name
pattern: -my-chat$
contains path: string. The set path to assert, the value must be an array.
content: any. The content to be contained.
Assert the array as the value of specified path contains the content.
contains:
path: spec.ports
content:
name: web
port: 80
targetPort: 80
protocle:TCP
notContains path: string. The set path to assert, the value must be an array.
content: any. The content NOT to be contained.
Assert the array as the value of specified path NOT contains the content.
notContains:
path: spec.ports
content:
name: server
port: 80
targetPort: 80
protocle: TCP
isNull path: string. The set path to assert. Assert the value of specified path is null.
isNull:
path: spec.strategy
isNotNull path: string. The set path to assert. Assert the value of specified path is NOT null.
isNotNull:
path: spec.replicas
isEmpty path: string. The set path to assert. Assert the value of specified path is empty (null, "", 0, [], {}).
isEmpty:
path: spec.tls
isNotEmpty path: string. The set path to assert. Assert the value of specified path is NOT empty (null, "", 0, [], {}).
isNotEmpty:
path: spec.selector
isKind of: String. Expected kind of manifest. Assert the kind value of manifest, is equilevant to:
equal:
path: kind
value: ...
isKind:
of: Deployment
isAPIVersion of: string. Expected apiVersion of manifest. Assert the apiVersion value of manifest, is equilevant to:
equal:
path: apiVersion
value: ...
isAPIVersion:
of: v2
hasDocuments count: int. Expected count of documents rendered. Assert the documents count rendered by the template specified. The documentIndex option is ignored here.
hasDocuments:
count: 2
matchSnapshot path: string. The set path for snapshot. Assert the value of path is the same as snapshotted last time. Check doc below.
matchSnapshot:
path: spec

Antonym and not

Notice that there are some antonym assertions, the following two assertions actually have same effect:

- equal:
    path: kind
    value: Pod
  not: true
# works the same as
- notEqual:
    path: kind
    value: Pod
