Integration Test Framework

This directory contains the Integration Test framework for SPIRE. Integration tests are run nightly, for each PR, and doing a release.

Executing Test Suites

When the framework executes a test suite, it performs the following:

1. Creates a temporary directory.
2. Copies the contents of the test suite into the temporary directory.
3. Executes scripts that match the ??-* pattern, ordered lexographically, where ?? is a "step number" (i.e. 00-setup, 01-do-a-thing).
4. The teardown script is executed. Note that the teardown script is ALWAYS executed when the test suite is torn down, independent of test suite success/failure. The teardown script MUST exist or the test will not be executed.
5. Temporary directory is removed.

In order for the test to pass, each step script must return a zero status code.

If a step script fails by exiting with a non-zero status code, the test suite fails and execution moves immediately to the teardown script. Subsequent step scripts are NOT executed.

Adding a Test Suite

1. Create a new folder under suites/.
2. Add a README.md to the test suite and link to it in this document under Test Suites. The README should contain high level details about what is being tested by the test suite.
3. Add step scripts (i.e. files matching the ??-* pattern) that perform the requisite steps. These scripts will be executed in lexographic order.
4. Add a teardown script that cleans up after the test suite

Step Scripts

Step scripts are sourced into a subshell with set -e -o pipefail set. The functions within common are also sourced into the subshell and are available for use within the step script.

The working directory of the step script is the temporary directory prepared for the test suite.

The step script should exit with a non-zero status code if the step fails in order to trigger test suite failure.

The following environment variables are available to the step scripts:

Environment Variable	Description
REPODIR	Path to the root of the git repository.
ROOTDIR	Path to the root of the integration test directory (i.e. ${REPODIR}/test/integration )

Teardown Script

The teardown script should clean up anything set up by the step scripts (i.e. stop docker containers, etc). It can also optionally log helpful information when a test suite has failed to aid debuggability.

The working directory of the step script is the temporary directory prepared for the test suite.

The following environment variables are available to the teardown script:

Environment Variable	Description
REPODIR	Path to the root of the git repository.
ROOTDIR	Path to the root of the integration test directory (i.e. ${REPODIR}/test/integration )
SUCCESS	If set, indicates the test suite was successful.
