Logging Environment Tests

This repo was designed to be run as a submodule of the GCP Logging repositories. It contains common tests to ensure behavioral consistency across languages and GCP platforms.

Usage

These tests were implemented in pytest triggered by nox

Run the full suite of tests:

nox -s tests

Run a specific test:

nox --session "tests(language='python', platform='cloudrun')"

By default, each test will tear down and re-create the GCP environment to ensure a clean environment. To re-use an existing environment while debugging, set the NO_CLEAN flag before running tests:

export NO_CLEAN=true

To allow parallel runs, envctl appends an id to each deployed resource. By default, this will be the runner's hostname, but it can be customized by setting ENVCTL_ID

Architecture

deployable/

The Deployable is a frankenstein-like package of code that can be deployed to any supported GCP environment. It contains a pub/sub listener, and a set of snippets that can be triggered by pub/sub messages. In this way, it allows us to trigger the same code in every GCP environment for consistency checks.

envctl/

envctl is a command line tool that allows us to spin up and down deployments in an automated way. It should accept three arguments: a language, a GCP environment name, and an action. envctl can be used to spin up and down test environments in a simple, reproducible way.

Implementation code for each language/environment pair can be found in envctl/env_scripts

envctl exposes the following sub-commands:

• envctl <language> <environment> deploy
  • deploys a fresh environment
• envctl <language> <environment> verify
  • verifies that an environment is up (returns true/false)
• envctl <language> <environment> destroy
  • destroys an existing environment
• envctl <language> <environment> trigger <snippet> <optional arguments>
  • sends a pub/sub message to trigger a snippet in an environment
  • optional arguments are embedded as custom attributes in Pub/Sub messages
• envctl <language> <environment> filter-string
  • returns a filter that finds logs created by the environment
• envctl <language> <environment> logs
  • returns a list of recent logs from the environment

tests/

Contains the pytest code that tests each environment. Common logic is stored as abstract super-classes in tests/common. Concrete implementations for each environment can be found in tests/<language>/test_<environment>.py. Test files in tests/<language> can inherit from any file in tests/common logic as needed, in order to share test logic between environments.
