Regression tests

This directory contains tests that install each of the 3 Gloo Edge flavors (gateway, ingress, and knative) and run regression tests against them.

Note: All commands should be run from the root directory of the Gloo repository

Setup

For these tests to run, we require the following conditions:

• Gloo Edge Helm chart archive be present in the _test folder,
• glooctl be built in the_output folder
• kind cluster set up and loaded with the images to be installed by the helm chart

(Option A) - Use the CI Install Script (preferred)

ci/deploy-to-kind-cluster.sh gets run in CI to setup the test environment for the above requirements. It accepts a number of environment variables, to control the creation of a kind cluster and deployment of Gloo resources to that kind cluster.

Name	Default	Description
CLUSTER_NAME	kind	The name of the cluster that will be generated
CLUSTER_NODE_VERSION	v1.22.4	The version of the Node Docker image to use for booting the cluster
VERSION	0.0.0-kind	The version used to tag Gloo images that are deployed to the cluster

Example:

CLUSTER_NAME=solo-test-cluster CLUSTER_NODE_VERSION=v1.22.4 VERSION=v1.0.0-solo-test ci/deploy-to-kind-cluster.sh

(Option B) - Manually Run Make Targets

The CI install script executes a series of make targets.

Create a kind cluster: kind create cluster --name kind
Build the helm chart: VERSION=0.0.0-kind make build-test-chart
Build glooctl: make glooctl
Load the images into the cluster: CLUSTER_NAME=kind VERSION=0.0.0-kind make push-kind-images

Verify Your Setup

Before running your tests, it's worthwhile to verify that a cluster was created, and the proper images have been loaded.

kubectl get nodes
docker exec -ti <nodename> crictl images

You should see the list of images in the cluster, including the ones you just uploaded

Common Setup Errors

Error: validation: chart.metadata.version "solo" is invalid
In newer versions of helm (>3.5), the version used to build the helm chart (ie the VERSION env variable), needs to respect semantic versioning. This error implies that the version provided does not.

Prepend a valid semver to avoid the error. (ie kind can become 0.0.0-kind)

Run Tests

To run the regression tests, your kubeconfig file must point to a running Kubernetes cluster. kubectl config current-context should run kind-<CLUSTER_NAME>

(Option A) - Use the Make Target (preferred)

Use the same command that CI relies on:

KUBE2E_TESTS=<test-to-run> make run-ci-regression-tests

(Option B) - Use Ginkgo Directly

The make target just runs ginkgo with a set of useful flags. If you want to control the flags that are provided, you can run:

KUBE2E_TESTS=<test-to-run> ginkgo -r <other-flags>

Test Environment Variables

The below table contains the environment variables that can be used to configure the test execution.

Name	Default	Description
KUBE2E_TESTS	""	Name of the test suite to be run. Options: 'gateway', 'ingress', 'knative', 'helm', 'gloomtls', 'glooctl', 'eds'
DEBUG	0	Set to 1 for debug log output
WAIT_ON_FAIL	0	Set to 1 to prevent Ginkgo from cleaning up the Gloo Edge installation in case of failure. Useful to exec into inspect resources created by the test. A command to resume the test run (and thus clean up resources) will be logged to the output.
TEAR_DOWN	false	Set to true to uninstall Gloo after the test suite completes

Common Test Errors

getting Helm chart version: expected a single entry with name [gloo], found: 5
The test helm charts are written to the _test directory, with the index.yaml file containing references to all available charts. The tests require that this file contain only 1 entry. Delete the other entries manually, or run make clean to delete this folder entirely, and then re-build the test helm chart.

Constants

const SimpleTestRunnerHttpResponse = `` /* 851-byte string literal not displayed */

https://github.com/solo-io/gloo/issues/4043#issuecomment-772706604 We should move tests away from using the testrunner, and instead depend on EphemeralContainers. The default response changed in later kube versions, which caused this value to change. Ideally the test utilities used by Gloo are maintained in the Gloo repo, so I opted to move this constant here. This response is given by the testrunner when the SimpleServer is started
