Unit Tests

Unit tests for cdrouter.py are written using pytest (https://docs.pytest.org) and run with tox (https://tox.wiki). Each test starts up an ephemeral CDRouter Docker container to test against. Tests are stored in the tests/ directory. The following tooling is required to run the unit tests:

• Docker must be installed and the docker command runnable by the current user. Follow the official install instructions (https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/) to ensure this is the case.
• Python 3.8 must be installed with a python3.8 binary available in your PATH.

• tox must be installed via pip3:

  $ pip3 install -U tox

  If you do not already have pip3 installed, follow the official install instructions (https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installation/) or use the get-pip.py script below to perform the installation automatically:

  $ curl -s https://bootstrap.pypa.io/pip/get-pip.py | python3

The unit tests are controlled by a number of a environment variables, some required while others are optional. Optional environment variables are listed further below. The required environment variables are:

• CDR_DOCKER_IMAGE: The CDRouter Docker image to use to test against. The unit tests automatically create and teardown Docker containers running this image during testing. Its value should be a Docker image name that can be passed directly to docker run. A good default is:

  CDR_DOCKER_IMAGE=registry.gitlab.com/qacafe/cdrouter/cdrouter/cdrouter:latest

  which should always be the latest CDRouter release.

• CDR_DOCKER_LICENSE: The base64-encoded contents of a CDRouter license file with all addons enabled to be used in the CDRouter Docker containers which are created during testing. If the CDRouter license file to be used exists at /path/to/cdrouter.lic, set this variable to:

  CDR_DOCKER_LICENSE=$(base64 -w0 /path/to/cdrouter.lic)

Finally, run the unit tests via:

$ CDR_DOCKER_IMAGE=registry.gitlab.com/qacafe/cdrouter/cdrouter/cdrouter:latest \
  CDR_DOCKER_LICENSE=$(base64 -w0 /path/to/cdrouter.lic) \
  tox -p

This will both lint the codebase using pylint and run all unit tests. You may sometimes want to run only a subset of tests. To run just the tests in tests/test_configs.py, run:

$ CDR_DOCKER_IMAGE=registry.gitlab.com/qacafe/cdrouter/cdrouter/cdrouter:latest \
  CDR_DOCKER_LICENSE=$(base64 -w0 /path/to/cdrouter.lic) \
  tox -e py38 -- tests/test_configs.py

To run just the test_list test in the TestConfigs class of tests/test_configs.py, run:

$ CDR_DOCKER_IMAGE=registry.gitlab.com/qacafe/cdrouter/cdrouter/cdrouter:latest \
  CDR_DOCKER_LICENSE=$(base64 -w0 /path/to/cdrouter.lic) \
  tox -e py38 -- tests/test_configs.py::TestConfigs::test_list

Below are the optional environment variables used by the unit tests:

• CDR_DOCKER_PULL: By default, the unit tests will ensure the Docker image specified by CDR_DOCKER_IMAGE is present and up to date via a call to docker pull. Sometimes this isn't necessary or desired, in which case setting CDR_DOCKER_PULL=0 will cause the unit tests to skip this step and assume the Docker image is already present and up to date. Setting CDR_DOCKER_PULL=0 is often necessary if CDR_DOCKER_IMAGE is set to a locally-built image rather than one pulled down from a Docker registry.
• CLOUDSHARK_URL & CLOUDSHARK_TOKEN: These variables specify the URL and valid API token of a CloudShark appliance. If these are not set, tests which require uploading capture files to a CloudShark appliance are skipped.
• RUN_LOUNGE_TESTS, LOUNGE_EMAIL, LOUNGE_URL & LOUNGE_INSECURE: By default, tests which require communicating with the QA Cafe Lounge are skipped. These tests can be run by setting RUN_LOUNGE_TESTS=1, in which case LOUNGE_EMAIL must be set to a valid email address for a contact in same Lounge account as the CDRouter license stored in CDR_DOCKER_LICENSE. Additionally, LOUNGE_URL and LOUNGE_INSECURE can be used to have the tests talk to a non-production Lounge.
