E2E Tests
The directory contains E2E tests and test applications. The test assume that Argo CD services are installed into argocd-e2e
namespace or cluster in current context. One throw-away namespace argocd-e2e***
is created prior to tests execute. The throw-away namespace is used as a target namespace for test applications.
The test/e2e/testdata
directory contains various Argo CD applications. Before test execution directory is copies into /tmp/argocd-e2e***
temp directory and used in tests as a Git repository via file url: file:///tmp/argocd-e2e***
.
Running Tests Locally
- Start the e2e version
make start-e2e
- Run the tests:
make test-e2e
You can observe the tests by using the UI http://localhost:4000/applications.
Configuration of E2E Tests execution
The Makefile’s start-e2e
target starts instances of ArgoCD on your local machine, of which the most will require a network listener. If for whatever reason you already have network services on your machine listening on the same ports, the e2e tests will not be able to run. You can derive from the defaults by setting the following environment variables before you run make start-e2e
:
ARGOCD_E2E_APISERVER_PORT
: Listener port forargocd-server
(default:8080
)ARGOCD_E2E_REPOSERVER_PORT
: Listener port forargocd-reposerver
(default:8081
)ARGOCD_E2E_DEX_PORT
: Listener port fordex
(default:5556
)ARGOCD_E2E_REDIS_PORT
: Listener port forredis
(default:6379
)ARGOCD_E2E_YARN_CMD
: Command to use for starting the UI via Yarn (default:yarn
)
If you have changed the port for argocd-server
, be sure to also set ARGOCD_SERVER
environment variable to point to that port, e.g. export ARGOCD_SERVER=localhost:8888
before running make test-e2e
so that the test will communicate to the correct server component.
Test Isolation
Some effort has been made to balance test isolation with speed. Tests are isolated as follows as each test gets:
- A random 5 character ID.
- A unique Git repository containing the
testdata
in/tmp/argocd-e2e/${id}
. - A namespace
argocd-e2e-ns-${id}
. - An primary name for the app
argocd-e2e-${id}
.
Troubleshooting
Tests fails to delete argocd-e2e-ns-*
namespaces.
This maybe due to the metrics server, run this:
kubectl api-resources
If it exits with status code 1, run:
kubectl delete apiservice v1beta1.metrics.k8s.io
Remove /spec/finalizers
from the namespace
kubectl edit ns argocd-e2e-ns-*
