Authelia is a single component in interaction with many others in a complete ecosystem. Consequently, testing the features is not as easy as we might think. In order to solve this problem, Authelia came up with the concept of suite which is a kind of virtual environment for Authelia and a set of tests. A suite can setup components such as NGINX, Redis or MariaDB in which Authelia can run and be tested.
This abstraction allows to prepare an environment for manual testing during development and also to craft and run integration tests efficiently.
Start a suite
Starting a suite called Standalone is done with the following command:
authelia-scripts suites setup Standalone
This command deploys the environment of the suite.
Run tests of a suite
Run tests of running suite
If a suite is already running, you can simply type the test command that will run the test related to the currently running suite:
authelia-scripts suites test
Run tests of non-running suite
However, if no suite is running yet and you just want to run the tests of a specific suite like HighAvailability, you can do so with the next command:
authelia-scripts suites test HighAvailability
Run all tests of all suites
Running all tests is easy. Make sure that no suite is already running and run:
authelia-scripts suites test
Run tests in headless mode
As you might have noticed, the tests are run using chromedriver and selenium. It means that the tests open an instance of Chrome that might interfere with your other activities. In order to run the tests in headless mode to avoid the interference, use the following command:
authelia-scripts suites test --headless
Create a suite
Creating a suite is as easy. Let's take the example of the Standalone suite:
- suite_standalone.go - It defines the setup and teardown phases. It likely uses docker-compose to setup the ecosystem. This file also defines the timeouts.
- suite_standalone_test.go - It defines the set of tests to run against the suite.
- Standalone directory - It contains resources required by the suite and likely mounted in the containers.
A suite can also be much more complex like setting up a complete Kubernetes ecosystem. You can check the Kubernetes suite as example.
