Introduction
Are you eager to try out how the Fedora CI tests work? Do you want to get a quick hands-on experience without having to read too much documentation? This quick introduction for the impatient will show you a minimal set of steps to execute existing tests as well as provide useful links to resources where you can learn more.
First Steps
Install the following essential packages on your system:
sudo dnf install fedpkg libselinux-python standard-test-roles
Use fedpkg to clone the package git repository. See
the Package Maintenance Guide for
more info about the tool.
fedpkg clone -a bash
Tests are defined according to the
Standard Test Interface in the
tests directory:
cd bash/tests/
Test coverage to be executed together with the basic set of
metadata is described in the
tests.yml
playbook. Use ansible-playbook to run all available
tests for the classic environment on the local host:
ansible-playbook --tags=classic tests.yml
From the ansible output you can directly see an overall summary of
the testing. If you see failed=0 at the end of the
log then all tests passed:
localhost: ok=29 changed=11 unreachable=0 failed=0
For more detailed test results check the test.log and
other files in the artifacts directory:
vim artifacts/test.log
That's it! You just executed test coverage for the Bash.
Test Subjects
To execute tests against different test subjects we need to
prepare the environment. Let's store the detailed test results in
/tmp/artifacts, use dynamic inventory as defined by
the Standard Test Roles and download
the latest Atomic Host image.
export TEST_ARTIFACTS=/tmp/artifacts export ANSIBLE_INVENTORY=/usr/share/ansible/inventory curl -Lo /tmp/atomic.qcow2 https://getfedora.org/atomic_qcow2_latest
Now let's try to run tests against all supported test subjects.
Classic
Run tests against classic rpms installed on the system:
export TEST_SUBJECTS= ansible-playbook --tags=classic tests.yml
Container
Run tests in a docker container:
export TEST_SUBJECTS=docker:docker.io/library/fedora:27 ansible-playbook --tags=container tests.yml
Atomic
Run tests against the Atomic Host:
export TEST_SUBJECTS=/tmp/atomic.qcow2 ansible-playbook --tags=atomic tests.yml
