Please install Node.js >= v20 and npm >= v9. You will find it easier to use the Node Version Manager nvm

To use the correct version of Node.js for this application, via nvm:

nvm use

Setup

Install application dependencies:

npm install

Running local tests

  1. Edit wdio.local.conf.js and set baseUrl to your service under test.

  2. Start application you are testing on the url specified in baseUrl

npm run test:local

Debugging local tests

npm run test:local:debug

Production

Running the tests

Tests are run from the CDP-Portal under the Test Suites section. Before any changes can be run, a new docker image must be built, this will happen automatically when a pull request is merged into the main branch. You can check the progress of the build under the actions section of this repository. Builds typically take around 1-2 minutes.

The results of the test run are made available in the portal.

Requirements of CDP Environment Tests

  1. Your service builds as a docker container using the .github/workflows/publish.yml The workflow tags the docker images allowing the CDP Portal to identify how the container should be run on the platform. It also ensures its published to the correct docker repository.

  2. The Dockerfile's entrypoint script should return exit code of 0 if the test suite passes or 1/>0 if it fails

  3. Test reports should be published to S3 using the script in ./bin/publish-tests.sh

Running on GitHub

Alternatively you can run the test suite as a GitHub workflow. Test runs on GitHub are not able to connect to the CDP Test environments. Instead, they run the tests agains a version of the services running in docker. A docker compose compose.yml is included as a starting point, which includes the databases (mongodb, redis) and infrastructure (localstack) pre-setup.

Steps:

  1. Edit the compose.yml to include your services.
  2. Modify the scripts in docker/scripts to pre-populate the database, if required and create any localstack resources.
  3. Test the setup locally with docker compose up and npm run test:github
  4. Set up the workflow trigger in .github/workflows/journey-tests.

By default, the provided workflow will run when triggered manually from GitHub or when triggered by another workflow.

If you want to use the repository exclusively for running docker composed based test suites consider displaying the publish.yml workflow.
