Testing

The tests in this repository are system tests and run against live services, therefore, it takes a bit of configuration to run all of the tests locally.

Before you can run tests locally you must have:

  • The latest nox, pip, and gcp-python-repo-tools installed.

      $ sudo pip install --upgrade nox-automation pip gcp-python-repo-tools
    
  • The Google Cloud SDK installed. You can do so with the following command:

      $ curl https://sdk.cloud.google.com | bash
    

Preparing a project for testing

Most tests require you to have an active, billing-enabled project on the Google Cloud Console.

Creating resources

Some resources need to be created in a project ahead of time before testing. We have a script that can create everything needed:

gcloud config set project <your-project-id>
scripts/prepare-testing-project.sh

The script will also instruct you to follow a URL to enable APIs. You will need to do that.

Getting a service account key

From the Cloud Console, create a new Service Account and download its json key. Place this file in testing/resources/service-account.json.

Environment variables

  • Copy testing/resources/test-env.tmpl.sh to testing/resources/test-env.sh, and updated it with your configuration.
  • Run source testing/resources/test-env.sh.
  • Run export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=testing/resources/service-account.json.

If you want to run the Google App Engine tests, you will need:

  • The App Engine Python SDK. You can also download it programatically with gcp-python-repo-tools:

      $ gcp-python-repo-tools download-appengine-sdk <dest>
    
  • Set the GAE_PYTHONPATH variable:

      $ export GAE_PYTHONPATH=<path your AppeEngine sdk>
    

Test environments

We use nox to configure multiple python sessions:

  • tests contains tests for samples that run in a normal Python 2.7 or 3.4 environment. This is everything outside of the appengine directory. It's parameterized to run all the tests using the 2.7 and 3.4 interpreters.
  • gae contains tests for samples that run only in Google App Engine. This is (mostly) everything in the appengine directory.
  • lint just runs the linter.

To see a list of the available sessions:

nox -l

To run tests for a particular session, with a particular parameter, invoke nox with the -s flag:

nox -s "tests(interpreter='python2.7')"

To run one particular session or provide additional parameters to py.test, invoke nox like this:

nox -s tests -- storage/api

Adding new tests

When adding a new top-level directory, be sure to edit .coveragerc to include it in coverage reporting.

To add new tests that require Google App Engine, please place them in the appengine directory if possible. If you place them elsewhere, you will need to modify nox.py to make the environments appropriately run or ignore your test.
