# Testing
|
|
|
|
This document contains the Moby code testing guidelines. It should answer any
|
|
questions you may have as an aspiring Moby contributor.
|
|
|
|
## Test suites
|
|
|
|
Moby has two test suites (and one legacy test suite):
|
|
|
|
* Unit tests - use standard `go test` and
|
|
[testify](https://github.com/stretchr/testify) assertions. They are located in
|
|
the package they test. Unit tests should be fast and test only their own
|
|
package.
|
|
* API integration tests - use standard `go test` and
|
|
[testify](https://github.com/stretchr/testify) assertions. They are located in
|
|
`./integration/<component>` directories, where `component` is: container,
|
|
image, volume, etc. These tests perform HTTP requests to an API endpoint and
|
|
check the HTTP response and daemon state after the call.
|
|
|
|
The legacy test suite `integration-cli/` is deprecated. No new tests will be
|
|
added to this suite. Any tests in this suite which require updates should be
|
|
ported to either the unit test suite or the new API integration test suite.
|
|
|
|
## Writing new tests
|
|
|
|
Most code changes will fall into one of the following categories.
|
|
|
|
### Writing tests for new features
|
|
|
|
New code should be covered by unit tests. If the code is difficult to test with
|
|
a unit tests then that is a good sign that it should be refactored to make it
|
|
easier to reuse and maintain. Consider accepting unexported interfaces instead
|
|
of structs so that fakes can be provided for dependencies.
|
|
|
|
If the new feature includes a completely new API endpoint then a new API
|
|
integration test should be added to cover the success case of that endpoint.
|
|
|
|
If the new feature does not include a completely new API endpoint consider
|
|
adding the new API fields to the existing test for that endpoint. A new
|
|
integration test should **not** be added for every new API field or API error
|
|
case. Error cases should be handled by unit tests.
|
|
|
|
### Writing tests for bug fixes
|
|
|
|
Bugs fixes should include a unit test case which exercises the bug.
|
|
|
|
A bug fix may also include new assertions in an existing integration tests for the
|
|
API endpoint.
|
|
|
|
## Running tests
|
|
|
|
To run the unit test suite:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
make test-unit
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
or `hack/test/unit` from inside a `BINDDIR=. make shell` container or properly
|
|
configured environment.
|
|
|
|
The following environment variables may be used to run a subset of tests:
|
|
|
|
* `TESTDIRS` - paths to directories to be tested, defaults to `./...`
|
|
* `TESTFLAGS` - flags passed to `go test`, to run tests which match a pattern
|
|
use `TESTFLAGS="-test.run TestNameOrPrefix"`
|
|
|
|
To run the integration test suite:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
make test-integration
|
|
```
