Docker Test Tools

The docker-test-tools package makes it easy to write tests that relies on docker containers environment in order to operate.

Features

• Manage container operation easily within the tests.
• Setup and tear down containers environment as part of the tests run flow.
• Integrated with nose2 and pytest test runners.
• Integrated with wiremock.

Setup

Define a Docker Compose File Describing the Required Environment

For example: docker-compose.yml

version: '2.1'

networks:
  tests-network:
    driver: bridge

services:

  consul.service:
    image: consul
    networks: [tests-network]

    # [OPTIONAL] healthcheck definition requires docker version > 1.12.
    healthcheck:
      test: "curl -f http://localhost:8500 || false"
      interval: 1s
      retries: 120

  mocked.service:
    image: stratoscale/wiremock:latest
    networks: [tests-network]
    command: "9999"

    # [OPTIONAL] healthcheck definition requires docker version > 1.12.
    healthcheck:
      test: "curl -f http://localhost:9999/__admin || false"
      interval: 1s
      retries: 120

Define the Environment Configuration File

Under an [environment] section, define:

• log-path: Docker logs path.
• project-name: Compose project name.
• docker-compose-path: Docker compose file path.
• reuse-containers: Whether or not to keep containers between test runs [True/ False].
• collect-stats: Whether or not to save containers stats [True/ False].

For example: test.cfg (the section may also be included in nose2.cfg)

[environment]
always-on = True
collect-stats = True
project-name = test
reuse-containers = False
log-path = docker-tests.log
docker-compose-path = tests/docker-compose.yml

NOTE: You may override configurations using environment variables (DTT_PROJECT_NAME, DTT_REUSE_CONTAINERS, DTT_LOG_PATH, DTT_COMPOSE_PATH).

NOTE: Make sure you configure your skipper.yml with the proper build-container-net option, based on the project-name and network. e.g build-container-net: test_tests-network

Define Tests Based on DockerBaseTest

For example: test_example.py

import os
import logging
import requests

from six.moves import http_client

from docker_test_tools.utils import get_health_check
from docker_test_tools.base_test import BaseDockerTest
from docker_test_tools.wiremock import WiremockController

log = logging.getLogger(__name__)

CONSUL_URL = "http://localhost:8500"
WIREMOCK_URL = "http://localhost:9999"

# Define health check functions for the environment services
consul_health_check = get_health_check('consul.service', url=CONSUL_URL)
mock_service_health_check = get_health_check('mocked.service', url=WIREMOCK_URL + '/__admin')


class ExampleTest(BaseDockerTest):
    """Usage example test for docker-test-tools."""

    # [OPTIONAL] User defined health checks, once defined the test setUp will wait for them to pass.
    REQUIRED_HEALTH_CHECKS = [consul_health_check,
                              mock_service_health_check]

    # [OPTIONAL] User defined health checks timeout
    CHECKS_TIMEOUT = 10

    def setUp(self):
        """Create a wiremock controller and add a cleanup for it."""
        super(ExampleTest, self).setUp()

        self.wiremock = WiremockController(url=WIREMOCK_URL)
        self.addCleanup(self.wiremock.reset_mapping)

    def test_services_sanity(self):

        with self.controller.container_down(name='consul.service', health_check=consul_health_check):

        log.info('Validating consul container has recovered and is responsive')

        log.info('Validating consul container is responsive')
        self.assertEquals(requests.get(CONSUL_URL).status_code, http_client.OK)

        log.info('Validating consul container is unresponsive while in `container_stopped` context')
        with self.controller.container_stopped(name='consul.service', health_check=consul_health_check):
            with self.assertRaises(requests.ConnectionError):
                requests.get(CONSUL_URL)

        log.info('Validating consul container has recovered and is responsive')
        self.assertEquals(requests.get(CONSUL_URL).status_code, http_client.OK)

    def test_service_paused(self):
        """Validate service paused scenario."""
        log.info('Validating consul container is responsive')
        self.assertEquals(requests.get(CONSUL_URL, timeout=2).status_code, http_client.OK)

        log.info('Validating consul container is unresponsive while in `container_paused` context')
        with self.controller.container_paused(name='consul.service', health_check=consul_health_check):
            with self.assertRaises(requests.Timeout):
                requests.get(CONSUL_URL, timeout=2)

        log.info('Validating consul container has recovered and is responsive')
        self.assertEquals(requests.get(CONSUL_URL, timeout=2).status_code, http_client.OK)

    def test_mocked_service_configuration(self):
        """Validate wiremock service."""
        log.info('Validating mocked service fail to find `test` endpoint')
        self.assertEquals(requests.post(WIREMOCK_URL + '/test').status_code, http_client.NOT_FOUND)

        log.info('Use WiremockController to stub the service `test` endpoint')
        stubs_dir_path = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), '..', 'resources', 'wiremock_stubs')
        self.wiremock.set_mapping_from_dir(stubs_dir_path)

        log.info('Validating mocked service response on `test` endpoint')
        self.assertEquals(requests.post(WIREMOCK_URL + '/test').status_code, http_client.OK)

Integrating With nose2

---

Enable the plugin

In your nose2.cfg file, under the unittest section add docker_test_tools to the plugins list.

For example:

[unittest]
plugins = docker_test_tools.plugin

Run the tests

$ nose2 --config=test.cfg --verbose --project-directory .

Outcome:

test_mocked_service_configuration (tests.integration.test_example.ExampleTest)
Validate wiremock service. ... ok
test_service_down (tests.integration.test_example.ExampleTest)
Validate service down scenario. ... ok
test_service_paused (tests.integration.test_example.ExampleTest)
Validate service paused scenario. ... ok
test_service_stopped (tests.integration.test_example.ExampleTest)
Validate service down scenario. ... ok
test_services_sanity (tests.integration.test_example.ExampleTest)

Define a conftest.py File Describing The Required Fixture

"""utilized by in pytest configuration."""
import pytest

from docker_test_tools.environment import EnvironmentController

controller = EnvironmentController.from_file(config_path='tests/integration/pytest.cfg')


@pytest.fixture(scope="session", autouse=True)
def global_setup_teardown():
    """This function will be executed once per testing session."""
    controller.setup()
    yield
    controller.teardown()


def pytest_runtest_setup(item):
    """Assign the controller as a test class member."""
    item.parent.obj.controller = controller

Run the Tests
