# Testing Standards in K3s
|
|
|
|
Testing in K3s comes in 5 forms:
|
|
- [Unit](#unit-tests)
|
|
- [Integration](#integration-tests)
|
|
- [Docker](#docker-tests)
|
|
- [Smoke](#smoke-tests)
|
|
- [Performance](#performance)
|
|
- [End-to-End (E2E)](#end-to-end-e2e-tests)
|
|
- [Distros-test-framework](#distros-test-framework)
|
|
|
|
This document will explain *when* each test should be written and *how* each test should be
|
|
generated, formatted, and run.
|
|
|
|
Note: all shell commands given are relative to the root k3s repo directory.

## Unit Tests
|
|
|
|
Unit tests should be written when a component or function of a package needs testing.
|
|
Unit tests should be used for "white box" testing.
|
|
|
|
### Framework
|
|
|
|
All unit tests in K3s follow a [Table Driven Test](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/TableDrivenTests) style. Specifically, K3s unit tests are automatically generated using the [gotests](https://github.com/cweill/gotests) tool. This is built into the Go vscode extension, has documented integrations for other popular editors, or can be run via command line. Additionally, a set of custom templates are provided to extend the generated test's functionality. To use these templates, call:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
gotests --template_dir=<PATH_TO_K3S>/contrib/gotests_templates
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or in vscode, edit the Go extension setting `Go: Generate Tests Flags`
|
|
and add `--template_dir=<PATH_TO_K3S>/contrib/gotests_templates` as an item.
|
|
|
|
To facilitate unit test creation, see `tests/util/runtime.go` helper functions.
|
|
|
|
### Format
|
|
|
|
All unit tests should be placed within the package of the file they test.
|
|
All unit test files should be named: `<FILE_UNDER_TEST>_test.go`.
|
|
All unit test functions should be named: `Test_Unit<FUNCTION_TO_TEST>` or `Test_Unit<RECEIVER>_<METHOD_TO_TEST>`.
|
|
See the [etcd unit test](../pkg/etcd/etcd_test.go) as an example.
|
|
|
|
### Running
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
go test ./pkg/... -run Unit
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note: As unit tests call functions directly, they are the primary drivers of K3s's code coverage
|
|
metric.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Integration Tests
|
|
|
|
Integration tests should be used to test a specific functionality of k3s that exists across multiple Go packages, either via exported function calls, or more often, CLI commands.
|
|
Integration tests should be used for "black box" testing.
|
|
|
|
See [integration/README.md](./integration/README.md) for more info.
|
|
|
|
___
|
|
|
|
## Docker Tests
|
|
|
|
Docker tests run clusters of K3s nodes as containers and test basic functionality. These tests are run in the Drone CI pipeline `test` stage.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Install Tests
|
|
|
|
Install tests are a collection of tests defined under the [tests/install](./tests/install). These tests are used to validate the installation and operation of K3s on a variety of operating systems. The test themselves are Vagrantfiles describing single-node installations that are easily spun up with Vagrant for the `libvirt` and `virtualbox` providers:
|
|
|
|
- [Install Script](install) :arrow_right: scheduled nightly and on an install script change
|
|
- [CentOS 9 Stream](install/centos-stream)
|
|
- [Rocky Linux 8](install/rocky-8) (stand-in for RHEL 8)
|
|
- [Rocky Linux 9](install/rocky-9) (stand-in for RHEL 9)
|
|
- [Fedora 40](install/fedora)
|
|
- [Leap 15.6](install/opensuse-leap) (stand-in for SLES)
|
|
- [Ubuntu 24.04](install/ubuntu-2404)
|
|
|
|
## Format
|
|
When adding new installer test(s) please copy the prevalent style for the `Vagrantfile`.
|
|
Ideally, the boxes used for additional assertions will support the default `libvirt` provider which
|
|
enables them to be used by our GitHub Actions [Install Test Workflow](../.github/workflows/install.yaml).
|
|
|
|
### Framework
|
|
|
|
If you are new to Vagrant, Hashicorp has written some pretty decent introductory tutorials and docs, see:
|
|
- https://learn.hashicorp.com/collections/vagrant/getting-started
|
|
- https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/installation
|
|
|
|
#### Plugins and Providers
|
|
|
|
The `libvirt`provider cannot be used without first [installing the `vagrant-libvirt` plugin](https://github.com/vagrant-libvirt/vagrant-libvirt). Libvirtd service must be installed and running on the host machine as well.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, the `vagrant-scp` and `vagrant-k3s` plugins are required.
|
|
|
|
All three can be and can be installed with:
|
|
```shell
|
|
vagrant plugin install vagrant-scp vagrant-k3s vagrant-libvirt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Environment Variables
|
|
|
|
These can be set on the CLI or exported before invoking Vagrant:
|
|
- `TEST_VM_CPUS` (default :arrow_right: 2)<br/>
|
|
The number of vCPU for the guest to use.
|
|
- `TEST_VM_MEMORY` (default :arrow_right: 2048)<br/>
|
|
The number of megabytes of memory for the guest to use.
|
|
- `TEST_VM_BOOT_TIMEOUT` (default :arrow_right: 600)<br/>
|
|
The time in seconds that Vagrant will wait for the machine to boot and be accessible.
|
|
|
|
### Running
|
|
|
|
The **Install Script** tests can be run by changing to the fixture directory and invoking `vagrant up`, e.g.:
|
|
```shell
|
|
cd tests/install/rocky-8
|
|
vagrant up
|
|
# The following provisioners are optional. In GitHub Actions CI they are invoked
|
|
# explicitly to avoid certain timeout issues on slow runners
|
|
vagrant provision --provision-with=k3s-wait-for-node
|
|
vagrant provision --provision-with=k3s-wait-for-coredns
|
|
vagrant provision --provision-with=k3s-wait-for-local-storage
|
|
vagrant provision --provision-with=k3s-wait-for-metrics-server
|
|
vagrant provision --provision-with=k3s-wait-for-traefik
|
|
vagrant provision --provision-with=k3s-status
|
|
vagrant provision --provision-with=k3s-procps
|
|
```

## Performance Tests
|
|
|
|
Performance tests use Terraform to test large scale deployments of K3s clusters.
|
|
|
|
See [perf/README.md](./perf/README.md) for more info.
|
|
___
|
|
|
|
## End-to-End (E2E) Tests
|
|
|
|
E2E tests cover multi-node K3s configuration and administration: bringup, update, teardown etc. across a wide range of operating systems. E2E tests are run nightly as part of K3s quality assurance (QA).
|
|
|
|
See [e2e/README.md](./e2e/README.md) for more info.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Distros Test Framework
|
|
|
|
The acceptance tests from distros test framework are a customizable way to create clusters and perform validations on them such that the requirements of specific features and functions can be validated.
|
|
|
|
See [distros-test-framework/README](https://github.com/rancher/distros-test-framework#readme) for more info.
