Kong Kubernetes Testing Framework (KTF)
Testing framework used by the Kong Kubernetes Team for the Kong Kubernetes Ingress Controller (KIC).
Requirements
Usage
The following are some of the available features of the KTF:
- integration testing libraries for Kong on Kubernetes (Golang)
- unit testing libraries for the Kong Proxy (Golang)
- command line tool for testing environments and other testing features
For the integration testing libraries you have the option to deploy the Kong Proxy only to the Kubernetes cluster or to deploy the entire stack depending on your testing needs.
This project provides a command line tool ktf
which can be used for reason such as building and maintaining a testing environment for Kong on Kubernetes.
Install
If you have Golang installed locally you can install with go
:
$ go install github.com/kong/kubernetes-testing-framework/cmd/ktf@latest
Otherwise you can use the shell script to install the latest release for your operating system:
$ curl --proto '=https' -sSf https://kong.github.io/kubernetes-testing-framework/install.sh | sh
Testing Environments
You can deploy a testing environment with the following command:
$ ktf environments create --generate-name
And it can be torn down with this command:
$ ktf environments delete --name <NAME>
Examples
The most common use cases will require some addon applications to be deployed to the cluster, particular actually deploying the Kong Proxy itself.
You can deploy a cluster with the Kong proxy already deployed and accessible via LoadBalancer
services by running the following:
$ ktf environments create --name kong-proxy-testing --addon metallb --addon kong
Once the cluster is up configure your kubectl
to use it:
$ kubectl cluster-info --context kind-kong-proxy-testing
You can see the IP addresses where you can reach the proxy and the Admin API with:
$ kubectl -n kong-system get services
