CLI Integration Tests

Introduction

These are high-level tests for the CLI that make assertions about the behavior of the cf binary.

On most systems cf points to an installed version. To test the latest source (most likely source that you're changing), ensure the dev cf binary is in your PATH:

[[ `which cf` = *"$GOPATH/src/code.cloudfoundry.org/cli/out"* ]] || 
    export PATH="$GOPATH/src/code.cloudfoundry.org/cli/out:$PATH"

You'll also need to rebuild cf after making any relevant changes to the source:

make build

Running make integration-tests can be time-consuming, because it includes the unparallelized global suite. Best to constrain runs to relevant tests until a long break in your workday, when you can run make integration-tests and cover everything. If you're primarily working in code that is tested by the parallelized suites, running the rake tasks for those specific suites instead of integration-tests and setting the NODES environment variable to a higher value will improve your feedback cycle.

Explanation of test suites

• global suite is for tests that affect an entire CF instance. These tests do not run in parallel.
• isolated suite is for tests that are stand alone and do not affect each other. They are meant to run in their own organization and space, and will not affect system state. This is the most common type of integration tests.
• push suite is for tests related to the cf push command only.
• experimental suite is for tests that require the cf experimental flag to be set and/or an experimental feature for the CF CLI.
• plugin suite is for tests that surround the CF CLI plugin framework. These tests do not run in parallel.

How to run

These tests rely on ginkgo to be installed.

Run command for the isolated, push and experimental suite:

ginkgo -p -r -randomizeAllSpecs -slowSpecThreshold=120 integration/isolated integration/push integration/experimental

Run command for the global and plugin suites:

ginkgo -r -randomizeAllSpecs -slowSpecThreshold=120 integration/global integration/plugin

Customizations (based on environment variables)

• CF_INT_API - Sets the CF API URL these tests will be using. Will default to api.bosh-lite.com if not set.
• SKIP_SSL_VALIDATION - If true, will skip SSL Validation. Will default --skip-ssl-validation if not set.
• CF_INT_USERNAME - The CF Administrator username. Will default to admin if not set.
• CF_INT_PASSWORD - The CF Administrator password. Will default to admin if not set.
• CF_INT_OIDC_USERNAME - The admin user in the OIDC identity provider. Will default to admin_oidc if not set.
• CF_INT_OIDC_PASSWORD - The admin password in the OIDC identity provider. Will default to admin if not set.
• CF_INT_DOCKER_IMAGE - A private docker image used for the docker authentication tests.
• CF_INT_DOCKER_USERNAME - The username for the private docker registry for CF_INT_DOCKER_IMAGE.
• CF_INT_DOCKER_PASSWORD - The password for CF_INT_DOCKER_USERNAME.
• CF_INT_CLIENT_ID - the ID for the integration client credentials identity.
• CF_INT_CLIENT_SECRET - the secret for the integration client credentials identity.
• CF_CLI_EXPERIMENTAL - Will enable both experimental functionality of the CF CLI and tests for that functionality. Will default to false if not set.

The test suite does not cleanup after itself!

In order to focus on clean test code and performance of each test, we have decided to not cleanup after each test. However, in order to facilitate clean up scripts, we are trying to keep consistent naming across organizations, spaces, etc.

In addition, several router groups are created using a INTEGRATION-TCP-NODE-[NUMBER] format. These cannot be deleted without manual changes to the database.
