RedHatInsights / black-box-tester

Runs black box tests for SRE monitoring

black-box-tester

Runs the black box tests for SRE monitoring

This spins up two deployments:

• black-box-runner -- runs the iqe-tests docker image, and executes src/runner.py
• selenium -- runs selenium web driver pods used for UI testing

The black box runner runs tests for the IQE plugin and test marker defined in src/runner.py

It will scale up the number of selenium pods to match the number of plugins that need to be tested, and allocate a selenium pod for each plugin. The tests for each plugin then run in a thread.

Deployment

First, switch into the project you want to deploy into:

oc project <my_project>

Collect the username/password/account id for the Insights prod account that these tests should use. The latest username/password can be obtained from the QE team.

Convert the username/password/account id into base64:

echo -n "my_username" | base64 -w 0
echo -n "my_password" | base64 -w 0
echo -n "my_account" | base64 -w 0

Edit the iqe creds secret and update the username/password:

cp iqe-creds-secret-example.yaml .iqe-creds.yaml
vi .iqe-creds.yaml
oc create -f .iqe-creds.yaml

Next you need a pull secret that can access the quay.io/cloudservices registry.

Download the docker config json from quay for an account that has access to the quay.io/cloudservices/iqe-tests repository:

1. Log in to https://quay.io/organization/cloudservices
2. Click on Robot Accounts
3. Click on cloudservices+black_box
4. Click on Docker Configuration
5. Click on Download cloudservices-black-box-auth.json

then create a secret using it:

oc create secret generic cloudservices-black-box-pull-secret --from-file=.dockerconfigjson=cloudservices-black-box-auth.json --type=kubernetes.io/dockerconfigjson

Now to deploy the black box runner, run:

./deploy.sh

You can run the command with --debug to enable debug logging on the runner pod, and/or with --reset which will delete the selenium deployment and re-create it.

If you want to update the runner script, edit the code in src and simply run deploy.sh again.
