| ## Test Suite |
| |
| A test suite is a collection of tests with the same purpose and scope defined in one single file. The root structure of a test suite is like below: |
| |
| ```yaml |
| suite: test deploy and service |
| templates: |
| - templates/deployment.yaml |
| - templates/web/service.yaml |
| tests: |
| - it: should test something |
| ... |
| ``` |
| |
| - **suite**: *string, optional*. The suite name to show on test result output. |
| |
| - **templates**: *array of string, recommended*. The template files scope to test in this suite. The full chart will be rendered, however only the listed templates are filtered for validation. Template files that are put in a templates sub-folder can be addressed with a linux path separator. Also the `templates/` can be omitted. Partial templates (which are prefixed with and `_`) are added automatically even if it is in a templates sub-folder, you don't need to add them again. |
| |
| - **tests**: *array of test job, required*. Where you define your test jobs to run, check [Test Job](#test-job). |
| |
| ## Test Job |
| |
| The test job is the base unit of testing. Your chart is **rendered each time a test job run**, and validated with assertions defined in the test. You can setup your values used to render the chart in the test job with external values files or directly in the test job definition. Below is a test job example with all of its options defined: |
| |
| ```yaml |
| ... |
| tests: |
| - it: should pass |
| values: |
| - ./values/staging.yaml |
| set: |
| image.pullPolicy: Always |
| resources: |
| limits: |
| memory: 128Mi |
| template: deployment.yaml |
| documentIndex: 0 |
| release: |
| name: my-release |
| namespace: |
| revision: 9 |
| isUpgrade: true |
| asserts: |
| - equal: |
| path: metadata.name |
| value: my-deploy |
| ``` |
| |
| - **it**: *string, recommended*. Define the name of the test with TDD style or any message you like. |
| |
| - **values**: *array of string, optional*. The values files used to renders the chart, think it as the `-f, --values` options of `helm install`. The file path should be the relative path from the test suite file itself. |
| |
| - **set**: *object of any, optional*. Set the values directly in suite file. The key is the value path with the format just like `--set` option of `helm install`, for example `image.pullPolicy`. The value is anything you want to set to the path specified by the key, which can be even an array or an object. |
| |
| - **template**: *string, optional*. The template file which render the manifest to be tested, default to the list of template file defined in `templates` of suite file, unless the template is defined in the assertions (check [Assertion](#assertion)). |
| |
| - **documentIndex**: *int, optional*. The index of rendered documents (devided by `---`) to be tested, default to -1, which results in asserting all documents (see Assertion). Generally you can ignored this field if the template file render only one document. |
| |
| - **release**: *object, optional*. Define the `{{ .Release }}` object. |
| - **name**: *string, optional*. The release name, default to `"RELEASE-NAME"`. |
| - **namespace**: *string, optional*. The namespace which release be installed to, default to `"NAMESPACE"`. |
| - **revision**: *string, optional*. The revision of current build, default to `0`. |
| - **isUpgrade**: *bool, optional*. Whether the build is an upgrade, default to `false`. |
| |
| - **asserts**: *array of assertion, required*. The assertions to validate the rendered chart, check [Assertion](#assertion). |
| |
| ## Assertion |
| |
| Define assertions in the test job to validate the manifests rendered with values provided. The example below tests the instances' name with 2 `equal` assertion. |
| |
| ```yaml |
| templates: |
| - deployment.yaml |
| - web/service.yaml |
| tests: |
| - it: should pass |
| asserts: |
| - equal: |
| path: metadata.name |
| value: my-deploy |
| - equal: |
| path: metadata.name |
| value: your-service |
| not: true |
| template: web/service.yaml |
| documentIndex: 0 |
| ``` |
| |
| The assertion is defined with the assertion type as the key and its parameters as value, there can be only one assertion type key exists in assertion definition object. And there are three more options can be set at root of assertion definition: |
| |
| - **not**: *bool, optional*. Set to `true` to assert contrarily, default to `false`. The second assertion in the example above asserts that the service name is **NOT** *your-service*. |
| |
| - **template**: *string, optional*. The template file which render the manifest to be asserted, default to the list of template file defined in `templates` of suite file, unless the template is in the testjob (see TestJob). For example the first assertion above with no `template` specified asserts for both `deployment.yaml` and `service.yaml` by default. If no template file specified in neither suite, testjob and assertion, the assertion returns an error and fail the test. |
| |
| - **documentIndex**: *int, optional*. The index of rendered documents (devided by `---`) to be asserted, default to -1, which will assert all documents. Generally you can ignored this field if the template file render only one document. |
| |
| ### Assertion Types |

| ### Antonym and `not` |
| |
| Notice that there are some antonym assertions, the following two assertions actually have same effect: |
| ```yaml |
| - equal: |
| path: kind |
| value: Pod |
| not: true |
| # works the same as |
| - notEqual: |
| path: kind |
| value: Pod |
| ``` |
