# What is this?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This directory contains scripts for functional testing. The tests are run with
|
|
|
|
the [bats-core](https://github.com/bats-core/bats-core) framework, which is an
|
|
|
|
active fork of the older BATS (Bash Automated Testing System).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The goal is to be cross-platform but not explicitly test the packaging system
|
|
|
|
or service management. Those parts are specific to each distribution and are
|
|
|
|
tested separately (triggered by crowdsec releases, but they run in other
|
|
|
|
repositories).

# How does it work?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In BATS, you write tests in the form of Bash functions that have unique
|
|
|
|
descriptions (the name of the test). You can do most things that you can
|
|
|
|
normally do in a shell function. If there is any error condition, the test
|
|
|
|
fails. A set of functions is provided to implement assertions, and a mechanism
|
|
|
|
of `setup`/`teardown` is provided a the level of individual tests (functions)
|
|
|
|
or group of tests (files).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The stdout/stderr of the commands within the test function are captured by
|
|
|
|
bats-core and will only be shown if the test fails. If you want to always print
|
|
|
|
something to debug your test case, you can redirect the output to the file
|
|
|
|
descriptor 3:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
|
|
@test "mytest" {
|
|
|
|
echo "hello world!" >&3
|
|
|
|
run some-command
|
|
|
|
assert_success
|
|
|
|
echo "goodbye." >&3
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
2022-04-19 13:01:46 +00:00
|
|
|
If you do that, please remove it once the test development is finished, because
|
|
|
|
this practice breaks the TAP protocol (unless each line has a '#' as first
|
|
|
|
character, but really, it's better to avoid unnecessary output when tests succeed).
|

|
|

|
Since bats-core is [TAP (Test Anything Protocol)](https://testanything.org/)
|
|
|
|
compliant, its output is in a standardized format. It can be integrated with a
|
|
|
|
separate [tap reporter](https://www.npmjs.com/package/tape#pretty-reporters) or
|
|
|
|
included in a larger test suite. The TAP specification is pretty minimalist and
|
|
|
|
some glue may be needed.

# setup and teardown
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you have read the bats-core tutorial linked above, you are aware of the
|
|
|
|
`setup` and `teardown` functions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
What you may have overlooked is that the script body outside the functions is
|
|
|
|
executed multiple times, so we have to be careful of what we put there.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here we have a look at the execution flow with two tests:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
|
|
echo "begin" >&3
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
setup_file() {
|
|
|
|
echo "setup_file" >&3
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
teardown_file() {
|
|
|
|
echo "teardown_file" >&3
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
setup() {
|
|
|
|
echo "setup" >&3
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
teardown() {
|
|
|
|
echo "teardown" >&3
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@test "test 1" {
|
|
|
|
echo "test #1" >&3
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@test "test 2" {
|
|
|
|
echo "test #2" >&3
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
echo "end" >&3
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The above test suite produces the following output:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
begin
|
|
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
setup_file
|
|
|
|
begin
|
|
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
✓ test 1
|
|
|
|
setup
|
|
|
|
test #1
|
|
|
|
teardown
|
|
|
|
begin
|
|
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
✓ test 2
|
|
|
|
setup
|
|
|
|
test #2
|
|
|
|
teardown
|
|
|
|
teardown_file
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
See how "begin" and "end" are repeated three times each? The code outside
|
|
|
|
setup/teardown/test functions is really executed three times (more as you add
|
|
|
|
more tests). You can put there variables or function definitions, but keep it
|
|
|
|
to a minimum and [don't write anything to the standard
|
|
|
|
output](https://bats-core.readthedocs.io/en/stable/writing-tests.html#code-outside-of-test-cases).
|
|
|
|
For most things you want to use `setup_file()` instead.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
But.. there is a but. Quoting from [the FAQ](https://bats-core.readthedocs.io/en/stable/faq.html):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> You can simply source <your>.sh files. However, be aware that source`ing
|
|
|
|
> files with errors outside of any function (or inside `setup_file) will trip
|
|
|
|
> up bats and lead to hard to diagnose errors. Therefore, it is safest to only
|
|
|
|
> source inside setup or the test functions themselves.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This doesn't mean you can't do that, just that you're on your own if the is an error.

# Testing crowdsec
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Fixtures
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For the purpose of functional tests, crowdsec and its companions (cscli, plugin
|
|
|
|
notifiers, bouncers) are installed in a local environment, which means tests
|
|
|
|
should not install or touch anything outside a `./tests/local` directory. This
|
|
|
|
includes binaries, configuration files, databases, data downloaded from
|
|
|
|
internet, logs... The use of `/tmp` is tolerated, but BATS also provides [three
|
|
|
|
useful
|
|
|
|
variables](https://bats-core.readthedocs.io/en/stable/writing-tests.html#special-variables):
|
|
|
|
`$BATS_SUITE_TMPDIR`, `$BATS_FILE_TMPDIR` and `$BATS_TEST_TMPDIR` that let you
|
|
|
|
ensure your desired level of isolation of temporary files across the tests.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When built with `make bats-build`, the binaries will look there by default for
|
|
|
|
their configuration and data needs. So you can run `./local/bin/cscli` from
|
|
|
|
a shell with no need for further parameters.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To set up the installation described above we provide a couple of scripts,
|
|
|
|
`instance-data` and `instance-crowdsec`. They manage fixture and background
|
|
|
|
processes; they are meant to be used in setup/teardown in several ways,
|
|
|
|
according to the specific needs of the group of tests in the file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `instance-data make`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Creates a tar file in `./local-init/init-config-data.tar`.
|
|
|
|
The file contains all the configuration, hub and database files needed
|
|
|
|
to restore crowdsec to a known initial state.
|
|
|
|
Things like `machines add ...`, `capi register`, `hub update`, `collections
|
|
|
|
install crowdsecurity/linux` are executed here so they don't need to be
|
|
|
|
repeated for each test or group of tests.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `instance-data load`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Extracts the files created by `instance-data make` for use by the local
|
|
|
|
crowdsec instance. Crowdsec must not be running while this operation is
|
|
|
|
performed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `instance-crowdsec [ start | stop ]`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Runs (or stops) crowdsec as a background process. PID and lockfiles are
|
|
|
|
written in `./local/var/run/`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here are some ways to use these two scripts.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- case 1: load a fresh crowsec instance + data for each test (01_base, 10_bouncers, 20_collections...)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This offers the best isolation, but the tests run slower. More importantly,
|
|
|
|
since there is no concept of "grouping" tests in bats-core with the exception
|
|
|
|
of files, if you need to perform some setup that is common to two or more
|
|
|
|
tests, you will have to repeat the code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- case 2: load a fresh set of data for each test, but run crowdsec only for
|
|
|
|
the tests that need it, possibly after altering the configuration
|
|
|
|
(02_nolapi, 03_noagent, 04_nocapi, 40_live-ban)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is useful because: 1) you sometimes don't want crowdsec to run at all,
|
|
|
|
for example when testing `cscli` in isolation, or you may want to tweak the
|
|
|
|
configuration inside the test function before running the lapi/agent. See
|
|
|
|
how we use `yq` to change the YAML files to that effect.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- case 3: start crowdsec with the inital set of configuration+data once, and keep it
|
|
|
|
running for all the tests (50_simulation, 98_ipv4, 98_ipv6)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This offers no isolation across tests, which over time could break more
|
|
|
|
often as result, but you can rely on the test order to test more complex
|
|
|
|
scenarios with a reasonable performance and the least amount of code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## status, stdout and stderr
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As we said, if any error occurs inside a test function, the test
|
|
|
|
fails immediately. You call `mycommand`, it exits with $? != 0, the test fails.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
But how to test the output, then? If we call `run mycommand`, then $? will be 0
|
|
|
|
allowing the test to keep running. The real error status is stored in the
|
|
|
|
`$status` variable, and the command output and standard error content are put
|
|
|
|
together in the `$output` variable. By specifying `run --separate-stderr`, you
|
|
|
|
can have separated `$output` and `$stderr` variables.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The above is better explained in the bats-core tutorial. If you have not read it
|
|
|
|
yet, now is a good time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `$output` variable gets special treatment with the
|
|
|
|
[bats-support](https://github.com/bats-core/bats-support) and
|
|
|
|
[bats-assert][https://github.com/bats-core/bats-assert) plugins and can be
|
|
|
|
checked with `assert_*` commands. The `$stderr` variable does not have these,
|
|
|
|
but we can use `run echo "$stderr"` and then check `$output` with asserts.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Remember that `run` always overwrites the `$output` variable, so if you consume
|
|
|
|
it with `run jq <(output)` you can only do it once, because the second time it
|
|
|
|
will read the output of the `jq` command. But you can construct a list of all
|
|
|
|
the values you want and check them all in a single step.
|
|
|
|
|
2022-03-10 12:59:10 +00:00
|
|
|
Note that `<(output)` is substituted with the file name of a file descriptor,
|
|
|
|
so `mycmd <(output)` can become `mycmd /dev/fd/23`, `mycmd /tmp//sh-np.hpc7Zs`
|
|
|
|
or `mycmd /proc/self/fd/38` depending on the platform. To have it fed to
|
|
|
|
standard input, use `< <(output)`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
See the `lib/*.sh` and `bats/*.bats` files for other tricks we employ.

|
## file operations
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We included the [bats-file](https://github.com/bats-core/bats-file) plugin to
|
|
|
|
check the result of file system operations: existence, type/size/ownership checks
|
|
|
|
on files, symlinks, directories, sockets.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## gotchas
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- pay attention to tests that are not run - for example "bats warning: Executed 143
|
|
|
|
instead of expected 144 tests". They are especially tricky to debug.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- using the `load` command in `teardown()` causes tests to be silently skipped or break in "funny"
|
|
|
|
ways. The other functions seem safe.
|
|
|

# Testing with MySQL and Postgres
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By default, the tests are run with the embedded sqlite database engine. This should be
|
|
|
|
enough in most cases, since the database operations are abstracted via the `ent` ORM.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can however easily test with a different engine.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Postgres
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Run Postgres somewhere, version 10 or above - easy to do in a docker container.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
$ sudo docker run --detach --name=postgres -p 5432:5432 --env="POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres" postgres:latest
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The name of the container is not really important.
|
|
|
|
If you are not using Docker, you may need to adjust the `PGHOST`/`PGPORT`/`PGPASSWORD`/`PGUSER` variables
|
|
|
|
(defaults are 127.0.0.1, 5432, postgres, postgres).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An additional user and database both named `crowdsec_test` will be created.
|
|
|
|
|
|

Now you can build and run the tests (we skip bats-test-hub here, they really
|
|
|
|
should not be affected by a change in DB).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
$ export DB_BACKEND=postgres
|
|
|
|
$ make clean bats-build bats-fixture bats-test
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
or with the pgx driver:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
$ export DB_BACKEND=pgx
|
|
|
|
$ make clean bats-build bats-fixture bats-test
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The value of DB_BACKEND must not change between the build/fixture/test steps.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## MySQL/MariaDB
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Same considerations as above, with the following changes:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
$ sudo docker run --cap-add=sys_nice --detach --name=mysql -p 3306:3306 --env="MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=password" mysql
|
|
|
|
[...]
|
|
|
|
$ export DB_BACKEND=mysql
|
|
|
|
$ make clean bats-build bats-fixture bats-test
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
or for MariaDB
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
$ sudo docker run --cap-add=sys_nice --detach --name=mariadb -p 3306:3306 --env="MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=password" mariadb
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## gotchas
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Testing with Postgres or MySQL/MariaDB leads to (unpredictably) failing
|
|
|
|
tests in the GitHub workflows, so we had to disable them by default. We do
|
|
|
|
run these in a separate environment before doing releases.
