This directory contains tests and testing docs for Knative Serving
:
- Unit tests currently reside in the codebase alongside the code they test
- End-to-end tests, of which there are two types:
- Conformance tests in
/test/conformance
- Other end-to-end tests in
/test/e2e
- Conformance tests in
- Performance tests reside in
/test/performance
The conformance tests are a subset of the end to end test with more strict requirements around what can be tested.
If you want to add more tests, see adding_tests.md.
presubmit-tests.sh
is the entry point for both the
end-to-end tests and the conformance tests
This script, and consequently, the e2e and conformance tests will be run before every code submission. You can run these tests manually with:
test/presubmit-tests.sh
Note that to run presubmit-tests.sh
or e2e-tests.sh
scripts, you'll need
kubernetes kubetest
installed:
go get -u k8s.io/test-infra/kubetest
To run all unit tests:
go test ./...
By default go test
will not run the e2e tests,
which need -tags=e2e
to be enabled.
To run the e2e tests, you need to have a running environment that meets
the e2e test environment requirements, and you need
to specify the build tag e2e
.
go test -v -tags=e2e -count=1 ./test/e2e
To run the conformance tests, you need to have a running environment that meets
the e2e test environment requirements, and you need
to specify the build tag e2e
.
go test -v -tags=e2e -count=1 ./test/conformance/...
It is possible to run the conformance tests by a user with reduced privileges, e.g. project admin. The environment needs to meet similar requirements as in running conformance tests but the test resources can be limited to minimum and so the user can install them. Running the conformance tests then consists of these steps:
- The cluster admin creates the cluster scope resources
kubectl apply -f test/config/cluster-resources.yaml
- The project admin installs minimum test resources:
kubectl apply -f test/config/test-resources.yaml
- The project admin then runs the conformance test suite using the
--disable-logstream
flag:go test -v -tags=e2e -count=1 ./test/conformance/... \ -disable-logstream \ -kubeconfig=$PROJECT_ADMIN_KUBECONFIG
The tests can be run in arbitrary test namespaces. If you modify the namespaces of the resources above you must pass the updated values to the Golang test suite:
go test -tags=e2e -count=1 ./test/conformance/... \
-disable-logstream \
-kubeconfig=$PROJECT_ADMIN_KUBECONFIG \
-test-namespace=serving-tests \
-alt-test-namespace=serving-tests-alt \
-tls-test-namespace=tls
Performance tests using kperf can be run in
a pull request using the optional test job /test pull-knative-serving-performance-tests-kperf
A report will be generated in the artifacts folder of the test run.
To run one e2e test case, e.g. TestAutoscaleUpDownUp, use
the -run
flag with go test
:
go test -v -tags=e2e -count=1 ./test/e2e -run ^TestAutoscaleUpDownUp$
Running tests in short mode excludes some large-scale E2E tests and saves
time/resources required for running the test suite. To run the tests in short
mode, use
the -short
flag with go test
go test -v -tags=e2e -count=1 -short ./test/e2e
To get a better idea where the flag is used, search for testing.Short()
throughout the test source code.
These tests require:
-
The
knative-testing
resources:ko apply -f test/config
-
A docker repo containing the test images
- By default the e2e tests against the current cluster in
~/.kube/config
using the environment specified in your environment variables. - Since these tests are fairly slow, running them with logging enabled is
recommended (
-v
). - Using
-count=1
is the idiomatic way to disable test caching
You can use test flags to control the environment your tests run against, i.e. override your environment variables:
go test -v -tags=e2e -count=1 ./test/conformance/... --kubeconfig ~/special/kubeconfig --cluster myspecialcluster --dockerrepo myspecialdockerrepo
go test -v -tags=e2e -count=1 ./test/e2e --kubeconfig ~/special/kubeconfig --cluster myspecialcluster --dockerrepo myspecialdockerrepo
Note: this is only required when you run conformance/e2e tests locally with
go test
commands.
The upload-test-images.sh
script can be used to
build and push the test images used by the conformance and e2e tests. The script
expects your environment to be setup as described in
DEVELOPMENT.md.
To run the script for all end to end test images:
./test/upload-test-images.sh
A docker tag may be passed as an optional parameter. This can be useful on
Minikube in tandem with the --tag
flag:
PLATFORM
environment variable is optional. If it is specified, test images
will be built for specific hardware architecture, according to its value (for
instance,linux/arm64
).
eval $(minikube docker-env)
./test/upload-test-images.sh any-old-tag
New test images should be placed in ./test/test_images
.
These flags are useful for running against an existing cluster, making use of your existing environment setup.
Tests importing knative.dev/serving/test
recognize these
flags:
The --dockerrepo
argument lets you specify the docker repo from which images
used by your tests should be pulled. This will default to the value of your
KO_DOCKER_REPO
environment variable
if not specified.
go test -v -tags=e2e -count=1 ./test/conformance/... --dockerrepo gcr.myhappyproject
go test -v -tags=e2e -count=1 ./test/e2e --dockerrepo gcr.myhappyproject
The default docker tag used for the test images is latest
, which can be
problematic on Minikube. To avoid having to configure a remote container
registry to support the Always
pull policy for latest
tags, you can have the
tests use a specific tag:
go test -v -tags=e2e -count=1 ./test/conformance/... --tag any-old-tag
go test -v -tags=e2e -count=1 ./test/e2e --tag any-old-tag
Of course, this implies that you tagged the images when you uploaded them.
Some environments (like minikube) do not support a Loadbalancer to make Knative
services externally available. These environments usually rely on rewriting the
Loadbalancer to a NodePort. The external address of such a NodePort is usually
not easily obtained within the cluster automatically, but can be provided from
the outside through the --ingressendpoint
flag. For a minikube setup for
example, you'd want to run tests against the default ingressgateway
(port
number 31380) running on the minikube node:
go test -v -tags=e2e -count=1 ./test/conformance/... --ingressendpoint "$(minikube ip):31380"
go test -v -tags=e2e -count=1 ./test/e2e --ingressendpoint "$(minikube ip):31380"
If you set up your cluster using
the getting started docs, Routes created in
the test will use the domain example.com
, unless the route has label
app=prod
in which case they will use the domain prod-domain.com
. Since these
domains will not be resolvable to deployments in your test cluster, in order to
make a request against the endpoint, the test use the IP assigned to the service
istio-ingressgateway
in the namespace istio-system
and spoof the Host
in
the header.
If you have configured your cluster to use a resolvable domain, you can use the
--resolvabledomain
flag to indicate that the test should make requests
directly against Route.Status.Domain
and does not need to spoof the Host
.
If you are using an ingress provider other than Istio, and have not set up a
resolvable domain (above), you will also need to set the GATEWAY_OVERRIDE
and
GATEWAY_NAMESPACE_OVERRIDE
environment variables to allow the gateway to be
discovered for spoofing. For example, for kourier you would do:
export GATEWAY_OVERRIDE=kourier
export GATEWAY_NAMESPACE_OVERRIDE=kourier-system
You can use the --https
flag to have all tests run with https.
