Golem Test Harness

codestyle test PyPI version GitHub license

goth is an integration testing framework intended to aid the development process of yagna itself, as well as apps built on top of it.

Dependencies on other Golem projects

How it works

Key features:

Within a single goth invocation (i.e. test session) the framework executes all tests which are defined in its given directory tree.

Internally, goth uses pytest, therefore each integration test is defined as a function with the test_ prefix in its name.

Every test run consists of the following steps:

  1. docker-compose is used to start the so-called "static" containers (e.g. local blockchain, HTTP proxy) and create a common Docker network for all containers participating in the given test.
  2. The test runner creates a number of Yagna containers (as defined in goth-config.yml) which are then connected to the docker-compose network.
  3. For each Yagna container started an interface object called a Probe is created and made available inside the test via the Runner object.
  4. The integration test scenario is executed as defined in the test function itself.
  5. Once the test is finished, all previously started Docker containers (both "static" and "dynamic") are removed and other cleanup is performed before repeating these steps for the next test.

Requirements

Python 3.8+

You can check your currently installed Python version by running:

python3 --version

If you don't have Python installed, download the appropriate package and follow instructions from the releases page.

Docker

To run goth you will need to have Docker installed. To install the Docker engine on your system follow these instructions.

To verify your installation you can run the hello-world Docker image:

docker run hello-world

Installation

goth is available as a PyPI package:

pip install goth

It is encouraged to use a Python virtual environment.

Usage

Getting a GitHub API token

When starting the local Golem network, goth uses the GitHub API to fetch metadata and download artifacts and images. Though all of these assets are public, using this API still requires basic authentication. Therefore, you need to provide goth with a personal access token.

To generate a new token, go to your account's developer settings.

You will need to grant your new token the public_repo scope, as well as the read:packages scope. The packages scope is required in order to pull Docker images from GitHub.

Once your token is generated you need to do two things:

  1. Log in to GitHub's Docker registry by calling: docker login ghcr.io -u {username}, replacing {username} with your GitHub username and pasting in your access token as the password. You only need to do this once on your machine.
  2. Export an environment variable named GITHUB_TOKEN and use the access token as its value. This environment variable will need to be available in the shell from which you run goth.

Starting a local network

First, create a copy of the default assets:

python -m goth create-assets your/output/dir

Where your/output/dir is the path to a directory under which the default assets should be created. The path can be relative and it cannot be pointing to an existing directory. These assets do not need to be re-created between test runs.

With the default assets created you can run the local test network like so:

python -m goth start your/output/dir/goth-config.yml

If everything went well you should see the following output:

Local goth network ready!

You can now load the requestor configuration variables to your shell:

source /tmp/goth_interactive.env

And then run your requestor agent from that same shell.

Press Ctrl+C at any moment to stop the local network.

This is a special case of goth's usage. Running this command does not execute a test, but rather sets up a local Golem network which can be used for debugging purposes. The parameters required to connect to the requestor yagna node running in this network are output to the file /tmp/goth_interactive.env and can be sourced from your shell.

Creating and running test cases

Take a look at the yagna integration tests README to learn more about writing and launching your own test cases.

Logs from goth tests

All containers launched during an integration test record their logs in a pre-determined location. By default, this location is: $TEMP_DIR/goth-tests, where $TEMP_DIR is the path of the directory used for temporary files.

This path will depend either on the shell environment or the operating system on which the tests are being run (see tempfile.gettempdir for more details).

Test configuration

goth-config.yml

goth can be configured using a YAML file. The default goth-config.yml is located in goth/default-assets/goth-config.yml and looks something like this:

docker-compose:

  docker-dir: "docker"                          # Where to look for docker-compose.yml and Dockerfiles

  build-environment:                            # Fields related to building the yagna Docker image
    # binary-path: ...
    # deb-path: ...
    # branch: ...
    # commit-hash: ...
    # release-tag: ...
    # use-prerelease: ...

  compose-log-patterns:                         # Log message patterns used for container ready checks
    ethereum-mainnet: ".*Wallets supplied."
    ethereum-holesky: ".*Wallets supplied."
    ethereum-polygon: ".*Wallets supplied."
    ...

key-dir: "keys"                                 # Where to look for pre-funded Ethereum keys

node-types:                                     # User-defined node types to be used in `nodes`
  - name: "Requestor"
    class: "goth.runner.probe.RequestorProbe"

  - name: "Provider"
    class: "goth.runner.probe.ProviderProbe"
    mount: ...

nodes:                                          # List of yagna nodes to be run in the test
  - name: "requestor"
    type: "Requestor"

  - name: "provider-1"
    type: "Provider"
    use-proxy: True

When you generate test assets using the command python -m goth create-assets your/output/dir, this default config file will be present in the output location of your choice. You can make changes to that generated file and always fall back to the default one by re-generating the assets.

Local development setup

Poetry

goth uses poetry to manage its dependencies and provide a runner for common tasks.

If you don't have poetry available on your system then follow its installation instructions before proceeding. Verify your installation by running:

poetry --version

Project dependencies

To install the project's dependencies run:

poetry install

By default, poetry looks for the required Python version on your PATH and creates a virtual environment for the project if there's none active (or already configured by Poetry).

All of the project's dependencies will be installed to that virtual environment.
