The package golden provides utilities for reading and writing files with metrics, traces and logs in YAML format. The package is expected to be used with pkg/pdatatest module.

Generating an expected result file

The easiest way to capture the expected result in a file is golden.WriteMetrics, golden.WriteTraces or golden.WriteLogs.

When writing a new test:

1. Write the test as if the expected file exists.
2. Follow the steps below for updating an existing test.

When updating an existing test:

1. Add a call to golden.WriteMetrics, golden.WriteTraces or golden.WriteLogs or in the appropriate place.
2. Run the test once.
3. Remove the call to golden.WriteMetrics, golden.WriteTraces or golden.WriteLogs.

NOTE: golden.WriteMetrics will always mark the test as failed. This behavior is necessary to ensure the function is removed after the golden file is written.

func TestScraper(t *testing.T) {
	cfg := createDefaultConfig().(*Config)
	require.NoError(t, component.ValidateConfig(cfg))

	scraper := newScraper(componenttest.NewNopReceiverCreateSettings(), cfg)

	err := scraper.start(context.Background(), componenttest.NewNopHost())
	require.NoError(t, err)

	actualMetrics, err := scraper.scrape(context.Background())
	require.NoError(t, err)

	expectedFile := filepath.Join("testdata", "scraper", "expected.yaml")

	golden.WriteMetrics(t, expectedFile, actualMetrics) // This line is temporary! TODO remove this!!

	expectedMetrics, err := golden.ReadMetrics(expectedFile)
	require.NoError(t, err)

	require.NoError(t, pmetrictest.CompareMetrics(expectedMetrics, actualMetrics))
}

ReadLogs reads a plog.Logs from the specified YAML or JSON file.

func ReadMetrics

func ReadMetrics(filePath string) (pmetric.Metrics, error)

ReadMetrics reads a pmetric.Metrics from the specified YAML or JSON file.

func ReadTraces

func ReadTraces(filePath string) (ptrace.Traces, error)

ReadTraces reads a ptrace.Traces from the specified YAML or JSON file.

func WriteLogs

func WriteLogs(tb testing.TB, filePath string, logs plog.Logs) error

WriteLogs writes a plog.Logs to the specified file in YAML format.

func WriteMetrics

func WriteMetrics(tb testing.TB, filePath string, metrics pmetric.Metrics, opts ...WriteMetricsOption) error

WriteMetrics writes a pmetric.Metrics to the specified file in YAML format.

func WriteTraces

Types

type WriteMetricsOption

type WriteMetricsOption func(*writeMetricsOptions)

WriteMetricsOption is an option for the WriteMetrics function

func SkipMetricTimestampNormalization

func SkipMetricTimestampNormalization() WriteMetricsOption

SkipMetricTimestampNormalization is an option that skips normalizing timestamps before writing metrics to disk.
