Samba integration tests

The tests are part of the Samba Integrated testing project sit-environment and are primarily used to test Samba servers exporting a clustered filesystem such as cephfs, glusterfs and others.

Prerequisite:

The tests are designed to run against any SMB server. The only prerequisite is that we have a SMB server exporting a filesystem which can be accessed over the network. Refer:

• Server setup
• Filesystem export with glusterfs

Quick guide on running the test-cases:

• Install sit-test-cases

      $ git clone https://github.com/samba-in-kubernetes/sit-test-cases.git
  

• Rename test-info.yml.example file under sit-test-cases to test-info.yml

      $ cd sit-test-cases
      $ mv test-info.example test-info.yml
  

• Update the relevant information in test-info.yml such as private and public interfaces, exported share names and test users and passwords from the previously set up samba server.

• Run make sanity_test to confirm the sanity of the setup before running the tests (Can be used whenever new set of changes are introduced in sit-test-cases):

      $ make sanity_test
  

• Run full test suite using make test:

      $ make test
  

• Run individual test cases(can be used for debugging):

      $ pwd
      /path/to/repo/sit-test-cases
      $ PYTHONPATH=`pwd` TEST_INFO_FILE=test-info.yml pytest -v testcases/smbtorture
  

NOTE:

• Some tests are performed against a share mounted using the cifs kernel module. This particular action requires root access.
